Haines His Way

DakotaCelt, not sure why your friend would be worried whether the DVD will play in her player - it's a real DVD.

I finished THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER. Made me laugh (especially Reginald Gardiner) and continued to be mightily impressed with the transfer. I've never seen the film look this good.

Then, I put in GIVE A GIRL A BREAK (on laserdisc), but I only got about an hour in, up through the Bob Fosse/Debbie Reynolds number that's partially filmed backwards.

Cilliliz your  'strange guy inthe truck" story  reminded me of an incident when I was in my early 20's... A friend and I had met at a local bar and hung out for the evening, when we were ready to go we left in our separate cars .

I noticed that a guy left the bar right as we did and he was going the same way I was, turn for turn.... I got very nervous and did something very stupid, instead of heading for the local police precinct or 7-11 and sitting in the driveway blasting my horn I starting  making  turns willy nilly and the car followed me turn for turn until I was lost in a strange neighborhood well off the beaten track, the car following  me turn for turn.

The last turn brought me into a dead end street.  Scared to death, at this point, I turned into the driveway of the last house on the block.  Well Someone was looking out for me, because there were two guys sitting on the front porch drinking beer and smoking cigarettes. I jumped out of my car ran up to the two guys and said, "That guy is following me, please help me"    

and they did.  


One guy stayed with me on the porch and the other walked up to the street wheer the other car was attempting to make  a three point turn to get out of the dead end.  

He "thanked" the guy inthe car for making sure his "sister" got home alright and then after the car seemed well out of sight they offered to follow me to the nearest highway to make sure the guy was really gone.  

Which they did.

Whew!  I hadn' t thought of that in years Cillaliz it had to be 25 years ago.... but sometimes its scary being a woman alone!

maybe its not a real player  

RESCUE ME featured the first of three guest star appearances by Susan Sarandon tonight. She was only in one scene tonight laying the groundwork for a liaison with Daniel Sunjata's character. Her come-on to him was very reminiscent of her work in BULL DURHAM.

The plot's moving right along with other threads. RESCUE ME is not a show that drags its feet with its stories.

Earlier, before I banned his sorry butt cheeks, BoreDetector made note of (and not in a nice way) the fact that I put personal stuff in my notes for all to see.  Well, I'm glad I did, because I received such wise advice here from our many hainsies/kimlets, advice I have heeded, and am glad to have done so.  As I think back to November of 2001 and the debut of this here site, I have always been honest in my writings - yes, I try to be funny and light most of the time, but I also say it like it is because that is who I am, for better or worse.  

I wish Pogue was around so we could go to Bird's right now.  

I almost forgot to post this but seeing Rodzinski reminded me... over the weekend I was behind a car on the LIE with a vanity plate that read:

I hope I was driving safely.

I hope I was driving safely.

I was wondering who that little girl behind the wheel was!! LOL

Here is what I have eaten thus far (and remember - I had a very brisk jog, doing the extra blocks):  Sushi - cucumber roll, and shrimp.  A small container of low-fat cottage cheese.  Some pineapple.  That's not much, right?  I could eat something else, right?

British....

See?!  I knew it wasn't a real player!





















I hope Vixdad doesn't see that  - I'll be in a for a hour of  "back in the old country...."  

But what - what shall I eat?  If Pogue were here, we'd be at Bird's stuffing our collective faces.

Do you have a banana?

Strawberries are nice
