Good morning!

Beautiful day here. It was supposed to be overcast, and the morning started out that way, but as I've sat here surfing the net, the clouds have moved off and it's blue sky and breezy. Wonderful way to start a new month!

Here's hoping the back pain eases for DR Ron Pulliam. I have had the same thing happen to me doing normal things like bending down to put on tennis shoes or bending down to turn the taps off in the shower.

It usually takes a week to 10 days for my back to get back to anything like normal. I just had one of these "pulls" a month or two ago.

The street cleaning machine is doing its thing....

I finished watching PHANTOM OF THE RUE MORGUE....one of the WB followups to the highly successful HOUSE OF WAX...

I wonder which of the following was the MOST astonishing in 3-D:

a. Gorilla coming at ya!
b. Patricia Medina's bosom
c. rifle fire at the camera
d. Karl Malden's nose

During the early hours of the morning while I was finishing up my net surfing and then this morning, I've gotten a great desire to watch THE WONDRFUL WORLD OF THE BROTHERS GRIMM. I recorded the movie off TCM a couple of years ago, but I have no idea how it will look on the larger screen TV.

(I saw the laserdisc for it up for auction last night on Ebay which is what got me to thinking about it. I remember reviews said the laserdisc was pale and soft and not very appealing. I remember thinking the Turner broadcast looked OK, so I'll be anxious to see what it looks like this afternoon.)

Or Merv Griffin's serious look.

I have that first DVD issue of THE DIRTY DOZEN. It's not anamorphic, is it? And seems like it was a very dirty print. But I've only watched it once since I bought it. Might put it back in this week to see if I want to double dip on it.

Matt H. · « **Reply #69 on:** May 01, 2006, 07:45:12 AM »

I finally got around to ordering GAY PURR-EE last night. I've had the videotape for a long time, but I never bought it on any other video platform, so I thought it was time for an upgrade. Looking forward to seeing it again in a good quality presentation.

I think I've mentioned it here before, but my favorite dessert of all time was my mother's cocoanut cake. Absolutely the most mouth-watering confection I've ever tasted, and, alas, she took that recipe to the grave with her.

Monday morning greetings! Today's my day off and I've already done 3 loads of laundry. Heigh, Ho, the glamorous life.

I did not. Due to the ongoing problems with the slowly dying "cooker' (as Vixdad calls it) I dared not entrust such an important thing as a birthday cake to the fickle oven (it is being replaced this coming Saturday) I did however order her a lovely round yellow cake with white buttercream icing and blue roses encircling the words "Happy13th Birthday Vicky". the filling was also buttercream. The cake was chosen by the birthday girl herself. Pictures were taken but they have not yet been downloaded and in any event I am at the wrong computer (work vs home).

It was a lovely cake made by the bakery at our local Waldbaum's grocery store and admired by all and delicious to boot!!

But I don't have a week to 10 days to get better...I have to get better by tomorrow (that's "domani" for Vixmom).

Of course, barring that...a visit to my doctor for some pills won't be objectionable. But I'll see what I feel like on the morrow (that's also "domani" for Vixmom).

Congratulations to Landau, Kennon, and Kimmel (sounds like a law firm, doesn't it?) on the review of The Last Starfighter - I will have to listen to my CD today. An interesting venue, too...

PennyO · « **Reply #84 on:** May 01, 2006, 09:16:19 AM »

What a swell review for Last Starfighter! Congrats to our boys!

Desserts, huh? I'm partial to ice cream... but I usually buy the Safeway Cherry Chocolate Chip Non-Fat Frozen Yogurt... I do favor quantity over quality, so a half-gallon of this stuff is a nice way to spend an evening.

There is a sensational Tiramisu (I have become quite the tiramisu maven, just by-the-way) at the Italian restaurant on the corner of Dairy Road and Hana Hwy, Kahalui, Maui - the very best I ever had. It costs $9. It's worth it. I have learned to order that, first. After dessert, if I'm still hungry, I might order an appetizer or a sandwich.

I love those little frozen Sara Lee frozen chocolate covered cheesecake bites. Only at other people's houses... can't bring a box home - hell, they never even MAKE IT home...

A Dairy Queen cone - just vanilla - brightens up a day of misery quite a bit...

So it's officially BELTANE! That is the fertility/spring festival halfway between the Spring equinox and summer solstice. I think it's Celtic. That's the one where people jump over a bonfire and ring-around-the-maypole. I feel migratory - on Wednesday I'll mosey up to Washington, to the cabin. Gonna take my sweet time - 3 days instead of the usual 2. I will definitely stop by at Jane and Keith's to look at the new kitchen and all the remodeling.

So tonight, I'm going to be one of the very first to hear the New Play from the pen of our BK! I do look forward to it.

Vixdad told her that since we weren't old enough to be the parents of a teenager we had decided that this year she would be "12A" and we would put off 12 for another year!

Yesterday she said, "I still feel 12!'

We explained that was becasue she was still 12, since this was year 12A

I'm up, I'm up. Got a needed good night's sleep.

Yes, the original DVD of Dirty Dozen was non-anamorphic and doesn't hold a candle to this new one.

The strange thing about that LOST contest, DR Jen, is that there's no mention of it at ABC.com. And does the U.K. really get to see episodes a day ahead of the U.S.? I donno...
