Well this hasn't been the most productive week for me, but I've waded through a number of things I needed to get done, so it wasn't a total loss. Right now I am tired and think I may just head home.

Our temps are supposed to go back into the deep freeze for the next 2 days. I'm planning to work about a 1/2 day tomorrow and hopefully get a lot of things done, but then I'm going to stay home where it's warm

TCB - auditions are Feb 25 and 26, with callbacks on the 27. If you only want to fly in for a day, I can arrange for you to just come to the callbacks.

I've always been hawking brews, it's second nature to me now. . .

I'll vote for "Crash" as being the worst film ever to win Best Picture.

I will cast my vote for CHARIOTS OF FIRE.

Since I mopped the kitchen floor this morning, I am free of that chore, so I'm going to log off now and do some writing.

Then, back to the home theater for more GONE BABY GONE and then PSYCH tonight. That's the only TV show I'm interested in seeing this evening.

Crash and Chariots of Fire - BAD.

BK, let me check my calendar at work on Monday and see if that is a possibility.

Thanks, Coleslaw!

And yes, that is a real bowtie, but I had a costumer who tied it for me every night.

I only wear bowties and tie them myself--- to the point I have forgotten how to tie a long tie. It's my signature!

I got word today from the job I applied for (the one i wanted because it was so close, and despite my lack of confidence I knew i could do it well. They hired someone else.

Luckily, Jack-in the Box is hiring!

1952 was a strange year at the Oscars, that's for sure! It's the year that Jean Hagen was nominated for supporting actress, while SINGIN' IN THE RAIN was not nominated for best picture.

As of yesterday, I am no longer a temporary employee: I signed the paper stating that I am now to be a permanent employee, therefore, I'll be trained in every area of the store, very soon.

Congrats, TD!! Where I work, we're not "permanent" employees...that implies that we can never be fired. We're "regular" employees, or subs or temps, etc.

MORONS!

I'm so weary of dealing with them over at Film Score Monthly messageboard.

One fellow -- in a thread about how hard Jake Gyllenhaal is taking Heath Ledger's death -- took issue with someone's comment about "Brokeback Mountain's" importance as a film.

I posted I thought it was HUGE for American cinema. He demanded to know why. I told him. He then pronounced that "Philadelphia" and "Kiss of the Spider Woman" had already broken that ground. I countered that neither film was a "love story" and that neither film went as far in exploring relationships nor had the emotional impact that "Brokeback" had.

He then began arguing with me that "Brokeback" was nothing special and contrasted its $75 million boxoffice (and raves from "left-leaning" critics and their organizations that gave the film prizes) to the more than $100 million take of "The Passion of the Christ" and categorized that film as having far more of an impact, blah blah blah blah (including its cold reception by the "left-leaning" press).

I asked him what on earth he was talking about? I saw no parallels between the films or anything I'd said.

We bantered, and I finally told him I thought his points were silly.

Today, he's taken me to task for not discussing his points.

Sigh.

I told him I had said everything I was going to say about his points....those I thought relevant AND those I thought absurd. I suggested he grind his political axes with someone else because I've no interest in them.

Are you sure it wasn't Ann Coulter using a different screen name? The ill-logic is there!

I've always enjoyed the movie for what it is: A spectacular circus story told well and with a handsome cast.

Today in the mail (I had it sent to my work), I received the songbook to Kristina Från Duvemåla from soundofmusic-shop.de:

One of the songs was performed in English (called "You Don't Have To Be There") by Alice Ripley in her duet concert "RAW" with Emily Skinner (recorded by BK on Kritzterland!). I don't know if it's one of the songs in the songbook (yet...I'll listen tonight at home), but if it is, I'll pencil in the English lyrics.
