MMMMMMMMmm I had chicken and noodles and a salad and corn. Plus two twinkies for dessert!

And the twinkies names were...? Details, man, details!

I'd dance, but I think I'm coming down with rhumbatic fever.

Dinner: Sweet and sour chicken, and veggies in a peanut butter sauce that turned out too spicy. All served on a bed of fluffy white rice.

I'm watching Public Enemy. And doing the RHUMBA of course.

And do you know what music they play over the opening credits of Public Enemy? "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles".

Off to bed! I enjoyed MEDIUM tonight. Very much.

Sleep well, all!

Jane · « **Reply #245 on:** January 31, 2005, 07:57:51 PM »

Maybe we will go watch MEDIUM now. That pizza, minus the meat, sounds yummy.

We'll be here until the cows come home. Or, the cows will be here until we come home.

Jane, why don't you and Keith come to LA and we'll go have PIZZA and RHUMBA.

Ah, the birthday boy has finally shown his face.

Back from my mini vacations.

Caught up on all the wonderful posts today (Still have Saturday and Sunday to get too)

I will be in NYC that weekend (Penny O's show) and looking forward to it.

Thanks again all DRs

I ate at McDonalds today, so that's all I'm allowed since it's SO loaded with fat grams.

Matt H. · « **Reply #251 on:** January 31, 2005, 08:36:36 PM »

I watched THE LETTER today, and the picture is absolutely sensational. Could not be happier with this transfer.

bk · « **Reply #252 on:** January 31, 2005, 09:16:12 PM »

I'm watching White Heat, which is great.

Now, where in tarnation IS everyone? Out doing the rhumba?

What does that mean?

I tested positive to multiple things, mainly grass, dust and dust mites. Try getting away from those.

I think he was referring to the control. I just used the same terminology. They put it right in the middle of my back so I had that awkward itch you can't scratch all day

Cillaliz · « **Reply #254 on:** January 31, 2005, 09:25:38 PM »

I did my taxes tonight....wish I was watching something wonderful or doing the rhumba or even the rumba instead, but at least they are done.

Hello fellow Dear Readers.

Apparently the roofers damaged our telephone wires, as the telephone has not worked since last night. The phone company will be out tomorrow to see what's wrong. Thank goodness for cell phones! By some miracle, I am finally able to connect via the rarely-used laptop without a modem. I read the notes, but not the posts.

So, let's see: the roofers trampled my wildflower garden, the herb garden, almost caught the house on fire by covering the water heater vent, and damaged the telephone wires. Oy!

I had p-sghetti for supper. Yummy. Made the sauce from scratch last week, I did. Took it out of the freezer.

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #257 on:** January 31, 2005, 09:49:04 PM »

Oh -- Happy Birthday, Michael Shayne!!! I hope to see the cake report the next time I am able to connect!

I had salmon and yellow squash while watching the film 40 NAUGHTY GIRLS starring James Gleason and Zasu Pitts...this is one of the Hildagard Withers films, with Zasu replacing Edna Mae Oliver.

I'm sorry elmore' s gone off to bed. I had a question for him. Maybe he'll review these posts tomorrow. So here's the question. Speaking of the Hawkins boys, elmore...when you were growing up in Cincinnati, did you ever read the boys book series Secketary Hawkins? Stories about a group of boys with a clubhouse down on the river?

EVERYONE GO SEE HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS!!!! We're amateurs to these people when it comes to making an intelligent, moving, but still rip-snorting adventure flick. The Echo Game Sequence and the Bamboo Forest Battle are alone worth the price of admission! Wow! Wow! and Wow!

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #260 on:** January 31, 2005, 10:04:35 PM »

elmore's memory of summer-time bugs, makes me ask...Doesn't Southern California have lightning bugs? I don't think I've ever seen one out here.

La Jolie Femme · « **Reply #261 on:** January 31, 2005, 10:15:05 PM »

Ditto and ditto CEP's pithy review. House of Flying Daggers is just so beautiful to watch...cinematography so lovely and evocative you will want to cry, action so packed you will sit at the edge of your seat. I have no fingernails left! And three of the most attractive and compelling actors you will ever want to read subtitles to understand. Can't recommend it enough! Will buy when it comes out.

BK, do you know who the woman who sang "The Lovers", the movie's theme song, is? What a voice! You must know...you know everything!

If he doesn't (horrors!) can any of you splendid folk out there in the Monday night ethers give me the info? I am now her slave and will buy anything she sings.

(I'm so easily-smitten!)

Fish to all!

I haven't picked up the soundtrack to Daggers. I've stayed away from it because I didn't care for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but based on this rave I'll check it outski.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #263 on:** January 31, 2005, 10:23:46 PM »

Well...we like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon too...I liked this better, however! The voice...I have informed the lovely wife...was, according to the credits, diva Kathleen Battle.

And what is everyone having for dinner?

And, lest we forget: RHUMBA!

I went to Taco Del Mar and had a Super Burrito with beef and a large diet Coke. Quite delish! For dessert, I went to my sister's house and had two maple cookies. Those were some good cookies!

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I totally forgot about this. I went shopping after work and almost bought a couple of new shirts but instead I bought a DVD of "The Point," narrated by Ringo Starr. I went to my sister's and we watched most of it. I left before 10:00, but I didn't turn on my TV at all. FORTUNATELY, my niece is taping it, so I'll be able to watch it.

Good Morning! Good Afternoon! Good Evening!

-Just wanted to cover all my bases.

It's been a good day for me. Somewhat productive, but it still felt like a day off. Right now, I'm waiting for the cheesecakes to cool on the counter before I put them in the fridge. One New York Style, one Double Chocolate.

...And the kitchen is already all clean too!

I need to go through my mail from the past week and a half, and take care of some other little things before I go to bed, so I'll have to catch up on the day's Notes and Posts tomorrow. -But I've already set aside a nice break tomorrow afternoon once I get back up to Fairfax, so I'll have plenty of time to get up to speed.

In the meantime, I hope everyone and everything is doing well.

Laters...

I'm making another batch of macaroni salad, this one with tiny shrmip and celery. I know, sounds odd, but I like it. It's been a slow evening around here, quite boring actually. Tomorrow I must do laundry...that's about as exciting as my day is likely to get.

La Jolie Femme · « **Reply #268 on:** January 31, 2005, 11:08:13 PM »

Hello! Can someone help me? I'm computer illiterate and although I have a photo ready to put on my page, I don't know how to do it. It's of me...and I entered the edit page mode to put it in, marked "have own Photo", but it says to enter a web path to my page, and I don't have one. What I need is a simple, 1-2-3-4 etc. step process by which I can accomplish this. Bruce has forgotten...Charles has forgotten...I never KNEW!

Please, oh, please help!

Fish, LJF

bk · « **Reply #269 on:** January 31, 2005, 11:24:09 PM »

Someone help this woman!

Ann, please post your macaroni salad recipe NOW.
