Many many things one would never think of can be used as weapons and can do great damage.

A stale churro, for example.

Speaking of things to munch on:

Last night there was the usual crash of overturned trash cans as Fletcher checked the kitchen for snacks. Suddenly he came prancing into the den and flopped on his pillow to enjoy his new found treasure - the Brussels' Sprout stalk!







Mikey wass quite jealous and there was some snarling ang tug-of-warring when Mikey tried to make off with the stalk

PS Yes, He ate the whole thing!


Lovely story derBrucer....

Just watched most of the show about selecting the best choir (I think it's called Clash of the Choirs?)  I guess this will be running all week.  I'm hoping this one becomes a regular series, only I hope they drop the idea that each choir represents a city if it becomes a regular series.  I can see cities ganging up in the phone voting.

Jane - we've had NetFlix since right around the time Richard retired (summer 2003).  I can't imagine going back to having to go to a store for movies to watch.

Well, okay, but she makes one heck of a potato salad...... and it only a couple thousand miles out of your way.

My niece Laura, who's coming from Illinois this weekend, makes great potato salad, too.  We're hoping she'll make some to go with our ham.

Think I'm going to try to see my doctor tomorrow.  I don't like the tightness of my cough and the achiness I'm feeling.

'night!

Forgot?  Or were you distracted by your neighbor across the street raking the leaves in his front yard?

Even in the winter months he can still be seen, on occasion, working in his yard sans shirt. It's like having Colt Studios right across the street.

Now I'm in the mood for potato salad.  I'm being good though.  Keith is popping popcorn and I will not have any.  Loosing weight is my way of consoling myself that I can't bake or make any fudge.

I really thought by now I would be able to do either, however my wrist and arm are not agreeing with me.  Best to listen than to have long term damage cuz I did too much too soon.  

I should be fine by Valentine's Day. :)

I received a package in the mail so well wrapped I needed Keith to cut it open.  Even if I were currently capable to wrap & unwrap packages I would have needed him to do so.  I have never seen such a beautiful taping job on a package. ;D

Am I the only one here who actually saw Gorgeous George wrestle?  I saw a match between he and Freddie Blassie, and at the end, GG lost, and they cut his hair off (an obvious wig).  While I wrote about many of the wrestling matches I saw in Kritzer Time, I don't think I included that one.

I remember Gorgeous George. Not sure its the same Gorgeous George. My brother and I used to watch All Star Wrestling in the 60s and did what we called goony wrestling while we watched.

Tomorrow afternoon, I am going to have to do some SERIOUS package wrapping. I've put it off longer than I ever have before. Not my favorite thing to do, but it has to be done.

I began my evening by watching UNDERDOG on Blu-ray. Yes, it's based on the old 60s cartoon show, but it also fits right in with Disney's other comedies of the 60s where fantastical things happen to people and objects like cars.

Problem is that it isn't the 1960s, and the film is pretty lame all around. The special effects are pretty impressive - the same type of CGI that was used in BABE - plus they have the dog flying and doing all kinds of stunts. Still, weak plot, no characters of any real interest, and not much humor.

Amy Adams voices Polly Purebred. Jason Lee is the voice of Underdog.

Then I watched all the special features on the UNDERDOG Blu-ray. Nothing earthshaking about any of the bonuses though they did include two UNDERDOG cartoons from the 1960s. Hadn't seen any of these in decades.

It's been a long day.  I just got in from a backer's presentation of BUSKER ALLEY at the York.  DR Julie was there tonight looking absolutely fabulous.  The cast was quite wonderful, and after the presentation I spent some time talking to Tony and Gen Walton, Anne Rogers (the original Polly in the London production of THE BOY FRIEND and Julie Andrews' replacement in MY FAIR LADY), Jim Morgan, Bob Billig who's currently conducting the tour of THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, the presentation's MD Aaron Gandy and several others.  The only person I wanted to say hello to, but missed, was Jim Dale.  It' quite a lovely piece, and I still cannoy figure out why Tommy Tune was playing the lead in the original production.  I think he's a wonderful perfromer and director but completely wrong for the role.  Jim Dale was excellent.

I found myself with plenty of time tonight to watch BE YOURSELF with Fannie Brice. Lots of musical numbers for Fannie (and it was obvious some others were cut, probably due to the audience turning away from musicals by 1930), and it's also obvious this film was used as a reference on both "The Swan" sequence in FUNNY GIRL and "Great Day" in FUNNY LADY.

When I first saw FUNNY LADY, I loved "Great Day," but I thought it didn't look very 1930s, but I was wrong. Yep, there's that circular set with Fannie in black sequins at the top of the set singing "Punchin' a Hole in the Sky" like a gospel singer. Now, the arrangements in that FUNNY LADY song weren't 30s at all, but the set and costumes were closer than I ever imagined.

In the 25 minutes I had left before JOURNEYMAN, I put in WHITE CHRISTMAS to give it my annual viewing. I only got to the "Sisters" number, but this will be the perfect film to be playing while I wrap presents tomorrow.

JOURNEYMAN had another winner tonight, and Kevin McKidd was just brilliant playing heartache and deperation so well. How I'm going to miss this hour of TV after Wednesday!

I just reviewed the documentary Ballot Measure 9, which I bet DR MBarnum remembers (the ballot measure, not the film, the film has absolutely no Bollywood actors in it whatsoever).  Measure 9 was the virulent anti-gay initiative that was on Oregon's ballot in 1992 and this film brought back those days with a vengeance (literally).  I recommend it as a cautionary tale to everyone, gay or straight, as it shows how easy it is to slip into fascistic behavior.  Not that our government would ever condone anything like that.    ::)
