Well, you've read the notes, the notes short and sweet, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're trying to read all thirty-eight pages of yesterday's posts.

Topic of the Day: Other than my condo and car (which don't count...housing and transportation are necessities), one of the most extravagant items that I got for my condo was my clock:

It cost $125, but I had a $25 gift card.

Here's a not-incredibly-clear close-up:

Good night, all!

Just yesterday and with my employee discount; such a bargain.

Laura said yesterday:
Regarding that Grease show

I do think they made the right decision re: the men. I just found that guy seemed too old. I would put derek and kevin in the bottom for the men.

I didn't think either were tops either

Holy Moley! 39 Pages?

Good morning, all! It's either the headcold, or the stress of the past week, but I couldn't think of a single thing last night to add to the list. I'm most jealous of "Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte Russe" because my goddaughter is Charlotte. She's never seen the film, but last year I gave her a copy of Christiane Noll singing the song on BK's "Jeepers Creepers" CD.

Today, errands: post office, bank. I need to pack up a lot of accumulated things here and send them back to NYC this week. I think I can return on Friday night. We had a good meeting with the attorney, and Macbeth seems okay right now. Of course, he has to go home and let Lady M revise his thinking!

TOD: last purchase, my nonregional DVD player. I love it!

Is that some kind of record?

TOD: Hmmmmmm

I guess my latest one would be my Audio Technica turntable and software that allows me to convert LP's to CD's. Bought it in July after reading about such things from MR BK here at HHW.

I have only converted one LP! But I know how to do it, sort of! And I can if I want to!

I couldn't find a picture of Velvet (the Mt. Hood Lab) to brighten the breakfast table, so I opted for religious tolerance instead:

And the word of the day is: CORYBANTIC!

Casey would waltz
With a strawberry blonde
But the band would have nothing to do with them,
Being more interested in the CORYBANTIC rituals
Taking place at the disco next door.

I have caught up! Oh, my, I go to bed at a respectable 9:45pm and wake up to this. Although I am surprised there were not more than 20 posts today.

I did think it would be a high posting day but you all surprised me with the number. Whatever will happen on Sunday (Oscar night). I won't be there for most of it (the Oscars and the posting) but I will read it all.

Our trips to Europe (England and Ireland) have been extravagant but worth every penny!

I'm a little embarrassed to mention this, because I had dissed the object on this very board a few weeks ago. But I went and bought the DROWSY CHAPERONE cast recording LP that cost $50. Not only did I buy one, I bought two, thinking that I could sell one and make a killing on eBay at some point since they were only supposed to print only 1000 copies. However, I now see that even though Ghostlight has sold out of the original 1000, they are telling people on their website to send email and they will be notified when the LP is back in stock! Grrrrrrrrrrr...

I'm glad we got to do that, because I'll be at that party on Oscar night and won't get to join in on the posting frenzy!

Hmmmm...wonder if they have WiFi?

The one that makes me laugh so hard, even thinking about it, was (SWW's I think?) Clarence the Croissant-Eyed Lion. I was trying to tell my husband that one but I was laughing so hard I couldn't get it out.

Bruce Davison was in the first film I ever worked on and he was one of the nicest actors I've ever met. I was just out of college, and he accompanied me to our student film festival.

He hurt himself on the first day of shooting, trying to jump on a moving train, but he didn't let that slow him down. He would bring his guitar to the set sometimes and serenade us with silly songs like "Row, Row, Row". I'm glad he's had such a successful career.

My editing partner here just saw that up in NY and absolutely loved it. He made me wish I had gone to that instead of the Tony Shalhoub play. I liked that very much. but how often do I get the change to see a Broadway musical!

I may try to get tickets for that and CURTAINS when we come up to NY for our (now rescheduled) NY premiere on March 30th.

The most extravagant thing I've done was almost 2 years ago---buying tickets for my mom, her BF, my DH and I to go on a 2 week tour of Ireland with The Dady Brothers. (My best friend went, too. )The Dadys are Americans who play Irish music---phenomenal musicians---and they play almost every night in different clubs or in the hotels. Local musicians show up and there are wonderful late-night jam sessions.

I planned a side trip after the tour to take my mom to the town and actual street where her ancestors had once lived. She loved seeing that. Mom did all our geneology research so it was the least I could do!

Edisaurus · « **Reply #29 on:** February 20, 2007, 06:54:48 AM »

The most extravagant present I've received was my new chipper/shredder. I haven't tried it out yet---my DH insists I read the manual first---but I'm very excited about using it!
