The hotel where I stayed in Tiffin this past weekend was populated by a rather large contingent of "little French boys."  We never did figure out why they were there, but we're pretty sure it wasn't for the American Association of University Women.

Hypothetical Help for the Technically Challenged:

Would a region-free DVD player, hooked up to regular non-HD television in the US, be able to play a PAL-format foreign DVD?

I'm up, have answered e-mails, and am getting a late start on the day because I slept until nine-thirty, which apparently I really needed to do.  I awoke to bright, blue skies, after an evening of rain.

THE AMAZING RACE SPOILERS from last night's show
*
*
*


RE: DR cillaliz's question about whether Danielle and Eric would have been eliminated if they had come in last (since they were marked for elimination).

This has never happened before, so i don't think anyone really knows for sure.  I don't think we usually see 2 non-elims in a row.

However i would speculate that they would NOT have been eliminated if they had come in last. As stupid as it sounds, non-elimination legs are planned in advance. So it would not be fair to have D&O not eliminated, while D&E would be in the same leg.

They often have non-elims after yields. So i guess they decided to just do this and hope they didn't look stupid (if D&E had finished last but not been eliminated).

I really thought last night's episode was going to be charla's quote, "well we're not all perfect" (referring to mirna).

The one thing at the start of the episode that bugged me was when they showed the times. Last week they showed C& M in a neck to neck race with danielle and eric. Yet the times showed that E&D were something like 2 1/2 hours behind them.

I am all for exciting good editing. But am i the only one who wants to see things as they really happen? I don't like words being taken out of context. And i don't want to see race to the finish that is only a race based on editing.

I have a feeling last night's race to the finish was not all that close either. I mean charla and mirna had to do the noodle task twice and mirna had trouble with her car. And that only put them 15 minutes behind eric.

So my bet is danny and oswald finished more than the few minutes behind the editing implied.

DETAILS, please....

I can't be too specific because it's all so related to income on the estate.  He's being quite difficult about everything, from the large loan my dad gave his company and my attempts to settle it amicably (oy!), and since Lady M is a liar as well as a lush, it's hard to know when they claim they're not receiving my emails ranging from travel dates to what I've been doing for the estate, how much is true and how much is a lie.

So, there's a small pension from a union to which my dad belonged of $6000 to be paid to the three of us.  We had to submit signed applications and a copy of our social security card for payment.  Last Monday, I was told by the union that the hold up was M, who didn't sign the application he sent in.  The union sent him another on April 10.  Last Monday, I sent my brothers an email stating this and asking if the application had been signed and returned.  Today, the union still hadn't received it, so I asked them to send the ass another.

Well, now he claims he signed it yesterday but he isnt sure it's been mailed.  And since the amount is so small, why should he bother? Well, first of all, since he tried to get me removed as executor, I feel it's only fair to my brothers to prove that I'm capable of fulfilling my estate obligations and if I have to sue for this tiny amount of money or for the large amount he owed my dad, well, it's all part of my job.

Lady M told my sister-in-law Jo that there's no proof of the company owing my dad anything, which means she probably destroyed the canceled check while he was staying with them.  I've asked his bank to send me his banking records from 2002 to 2006.  Oy!

Lady Be Good
A centenary season of Barbara Stanwyck.

by Anthony Lane
...
To suggest that Stanwyck never belonged in the first rank of screen beauties would be ungallant but true. To argue, however, that she lacked a ready supply of male victims would be demonstrable nonsense. She had cheekbones of a wicked cut and curve, archable eyebrows, and a nose whose beaky hauteur came in handy when she rose to playing the loftier classes, or, as in “The Lady Eve” (1941), slicing them to shreds. It was a face that launched a thousand inquisitions: the mouth too tight to be rosy, and a voice pitched for slang, all bite and huskiness. When I think of the glory days of American film, at its speediest and most velvety, I think of Barbara Stanwyck.

...


And my favorite line:
Quote
(Robert) Taylor was seduced by Ava Gardner, but in the movie industry that was like pulling into a gas station for an oil check.

A great 7-page read!
