And I was 26 words a minute in high school. To Do they even teach typing in high school any more or just set them down and the computer and let'er rip?

Oh yes, it's still taught, but called "keyboarding" now.

And to me! I just had a piece of the most delicious chocolate fudge.

I want to visit.

Don't give any to Penny-she might kill me.

She does enjoy the diet ice cream Keith eats. You should see them enjoying this stuff that tastes like cardboard to me.

Well - Dan Fogelberg and his "Old Lang Sang" is from the 70's, right?

LOL-almost. I'm listening to it now:

My Daddy was a cop on the east side of Chicago
Back in the USA back in the bad old days
In the heat of a summer night
In the land of the dollar bill
When the town of Chicago died

Thank you, DR Jane. I will be sure to show him this....but I am afraid that his rendition will remain the same. Like Merman singing "Even with a turkey that you know has fold....," some interpretations are timeless. (In other words, you can't teach an old dog new tricks.....

I am a happy chappie. My CD of Miklos Rozsa's restored Jungle Book has arrived from the Film Music society, with a lovely booklet full of notes by pal Rudy Behlmer and the disc also includes an interview that Rudy did with Dr. Rozsa. I must go give a listen now!

I eat Healthy Choice Vanilla. I love the taste, and it has zero saturated fat and minimal calories per serving.

Jane, Marks and Spencer Mint Humbugs. Go to the following site: www.britstore.co.uk/itm01984.htm

I'm awaiting the arrival of Mr. Kevin Spirtas.

I may or may not be finished with my scribbles for the day - I've written more than my usual daily allotment, so if I do, cooliscious, and if I don't, cooliscious.
Based on Ann's lovely descriptive prose about her macaroni salad, I have rustled me up a big ol' batch of my tuna pasta salad, which I will dive into the moment I'm through with Mr. Kevin Spirtas.

I got some love packages today - including three CD soundtracks by Mr. Philip Rombi, who's been writing scores for the excellent director Francois Ozun. I got two copies of Haines His Way (I was getting low), and my little DVD store, which has been very dry lately, got in a whole slew of new DVDs. Here's what I got: A new special edition of Get Shorty, which I remember enjoying, Twentieth Century, the original Shall We Dance (from Japan), King Solomon's Mines, The Karate Kid Collection, and Leave Her to Heaven. Quite a haul.

Charles Pogue I wish you could see the big smile on my face.

Hmmm...I have a big decision to make now- how many bags should I purchase. LOL

THANK YOU!

Does anyone know what 1.68 pounds converts to?

bk · « **Reply #220 on:** February 01, 2005, 02:57:34 PM »

It's just about double US dollars. However, I'm sure they'll do the conversion for you if you ask.

Jane · « **Reply #221 on:** February 01, 2005, 02:57:41 PM »

The Brit site also sells Tornton’s candy (but not their toffee) and Maynards Wine Gums. This is very exciting!

Anyone know what I’m talking about?

Oh, and...

or was it:

In any case...

Dreamy!

My sister had a crush on Shaun Cassidy! They have the same birthday, September 27th (different years, though).

"Leave Her to Heaven". Man, that movie is a true horror movie. Such villainy! Some of the most beautiful interiors I've ever seen shot too.

Happened to catch Cornell Wilde in "The Naked Prey" the other day. An underrated fellow.

Jane · « **Reply #228 on:** February 01, 2005, 03:22:13 PM »

I’m going for a walk and think on this. I began with 6 bags of humbugs-total of 30.12 pounds. I’m really tempted but $60, oh my. I reduced my order to 3 bags and the total to 15 pounds-still a bit outrageous. I do love those candies. $:-\$

BK, have you seen the Japanes SHALL WE DANCE before? Please give your thoughts...I really enjoyed that film!

bk · « **Reply #234 on:** February 01, 2005, 03:52:29 PM »

Yes, I've spoken about it at some point here on the site. It's one of my favorite movies of the nineties - just wonderful. Supposedly the original version ran 136 minutes in Japan, and Miramax had it trimmed to 119. From what I've heard, the trimmed version is better. I also feel that way about Cinema Paradiso.

Mr. Kevin Spirtas has left the building. We talked through a lot of stuff, and gave him some ideas to think about, and we'll reconvene in a month to start putting it together. He's doing A Chorus Line in San Jose until the beginning of March.

I must now eat some tuna pasta salad before I fall over.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #236 on:** February 01, 2005, 04:07:43 PM »

Jane, when we were in England this November/December it was two bucks to the British pound. I found the mint humbugs by just typing in "mint humbugs" into my searcher. You might want to do the same...there were a ton of sites selling them. They may not be Marks and Spencer, but who knows? They could be better or worse...If you search enough, you might even find a recipe for them, then who needs Marks and Spencer at all?

bk · « **Reply #237 on:** February 01, 2005, 04:21:16 PM »

I just ate a lovely batch of tuna pasta salad and feel ever so much better.

I have to decide which DVD I shall treat myself to this evening. I'm gangstered out (having watched three of the five films in the WB set), so it will be something I got today. Hmmm.

S. Woody White · « **Reply #238 on:** February 01, 2005, 04:40:39 PM »

I have a lot of beets roasting in the oven.

Six beets is a lot.

I'm figuring on having some for dinner tonight, and saving the rest for quicker dinners later.

Kerry · « **Reply #239 on:** February 01, 2005, 04:54:12 PM »

Hiya Boys and Girls!

TIME FOR, you know what------- CAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember the 70's.... I think.
