BK, watch WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS...you get Russ Tamblyn and the ever lovely Kumi Mizuno, whose charms I know you can appreciate!

And besides, you wouldn't want to miss hearing/seeing this rousing version of THE WORDS GET STUCK IN MY THROAT.

What key is that!!!

I see people but I don't see posts. Maybe I should just lock it up Maybe I just should. That would teach the errant and truant and non-posters a thing or three, wouldn't it? If they came here at their leisure and the posts were locked? Wouldn't that just teach the whippersnappers and also the snapperwhippers. We have the technology, you know.

I just watched the deleted scenes from "Maurice" with James Wilby, Hugh Grant and Rupert Graves.

I've had this DVD for several years and I finally had the chance to check out the widescreen-ness of the movie. It's very nice. Widescreen TVs are SO much better than regular 4:3 TVs.

It's hard to articulate. My family sometimes just calls it being a nudge or a repetitive pain the neck. The three-times-or-more thing seems to work very often because if it's something I want for my own benefit, people know i really care about it and if they're inclined to care that I care about it, they may take action.

I thought you were shouting to the "universe", "spirits", Gods or whatever NOT to real people.

I took Mae-Ling and Wae-Ling to the arboretum today. Then we baked a birthday cake.

There is a good reason why women my age are no longer able to have children.

And why I wish my children would give me grandchildren BEFORE I'm too old to play with them.

Right now I am taking a break from what is probably one of the most tension filled Bollywood movies I have yet to see, AMIR (2008) about a young Muslim doctor in Mumbai whose family is kidnapped by extremists who. Unless the young man helps them pull off an act of terrorism in the city center, they will kill his family.

It is quite chilling. No songs, and it is the lead actor's debut on the big screen (he is a tv actor, normally).

I'm off to the Village to a restaurant I don't know, Vila Moscone, for a Virgo birthday dinner. I need to stop at Godiva on the way, wish I could have some, and buy two gifts.

It will be nice to see friends, but I'd just as soon stay in.

No songs? I might actually like it then. It's the bollywood musical numbers that drive me mad.

Topic of the Day: a German dessert called dampfnudeln. It's a steamed, sweet bread that's covered with a vanilla sauce. My mom is German and makes it once in a great while. I don't know the specific recipe that my mom uses, but some that I've come across on the Internet (trying to find out how to spell it) seem similar. There are some recipes that use raspberry or poppy seeds, and my mom's doesn't. And she's always made it as a dessert, not as a savory dish. It's delish!

And now, I have to go to work...after I take a shower.

Have a good day, all!

There are no songs in BLACK, either, DR Elmore.
If I'm not mistaken, there are also no songs in WATER.
I know that there are few songs in PARANEETA.

Three of my favorite Bollywood films and they are practically songless.

Hello, I'm awake again after sleeping another 3 1/2 hours. I called and told them I wasn't going to make it this morning and went back to sleep. I still don't feel great but my stomach feels better. I haven't eaten anything today so I'm going to go find something to eat. As much as I was disappointed with what the school is, I didn't really want to miss it all together. I did do the home work, after all.

Facebook question:

Is there a link to find conversations you have had with someone? I can find the responses on my email address but not what I sent.

BK isn't the only one thinking FOOD.

I'll be trotting down the road to the store pretty soon. I'm thinking tilapia, which is on sale this week, but I'm not sure what I'll be serving with it as yet.

Jane - Shouting to the spirits is a great concept, but my birth date means I was born to be a nudge.

According to Goldschneider & Elffers' "Secret Language of Birthdays"...

MAY 2 - "THE DAY OF HUMAN OBSERVATION"
Strengths: PRODUCTIVE, PERFECTIONIST, OBSERVANT
Weaknesses: INTRUSIVE, AUTHORITARIAN, ABRASIVE

"Once they are on to a particular subject or activity they're like a dog with a bone, and will usually drive an argument about as far as it can possibly go... "

Oh, I guess that drove people away.

Skip should be back form Princeton any minute now. Sounds like it was a good show today.

I'll see if I can find my birthday comments. Most often the only thing being a nudge gets me is Keith saying to shut up.

How long does it take to go to Princeton? Did he go by train? I accompanied Keith to Princeton once & enjoyed myself very much.

I did not find December 7th.

Skip went there by train. It can range form 70 to 90-plus minutes of actually travel, including the connection on that shuttle they call the "dinky," depending on whether you get an express or a local.

He's coming back by car, since some friends who saw the show today had driven from Manhattan. But it turns out he's not home yet because they had to drop the friends' aunt off in New Jersey before coming back to Manhattan.

FJL · « **Reply #206 on:** September 13, 2008, 04:18:45 PM »

Jane - I sent you the excerpt form the book for December 7.

Looks like most days can be found by googling "secret language of birthdays" "insert month and day in quotes"

as in

"secret language of birthdays" "may 2"

(Of course, if they don't give a damn about what I want anyway, it just annoys them but I'm rarely worse off than if I had never bought it up since I've only annoyed people who don't care what I want anyway.) If it's something I wish for and care deeply about for the other person's benefit, then they suspect that I'm going to hound them until they take steps to do something about it, and in many cases they'll do what they need to for themselves just a little more quickly just to avoid being nudged to the point of annoyance.

I wish. I'd watch both tonight if I had them. My source for advance copies has all but dried up.

Ooooh! A visual representation of a non sequitur!

In sad news, I just found out my friend, the brilliant guitarist Jorge Zamorano, has just passed from Stage 4 cancer, which he had managed to fight successfully for several years (!). A sweet man and one of the most incredible guitar virtuosos it's ever been my privilege to play with.
