TCB - almost a Sondheim reference:

Isn't it awful
God how depressing
Me I'm three hundred
You you're a blessing

I think I knew about the first one you mentioned but not the second one, that is very interesting...now I'll have to watch North By Northwest again!

Oh, good lord. There are a million other examples. The first that comes to mind is that Angela Lansbury was only 3 years older than Laurence Harvey who played her son in THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE.

If the actors are good and the story's engrossing, nobody cares. If you're noticing that instead of what's actually happening on the screen, then something is wrong some place.

Pity. You actually sit in a theatre and ponder such things?

I agree with you, DR Elmore. See my previous post written before I read DR Jeanne's comment.

I began my afternoon viewing by looking at the Showtime-HD version of INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE. Looked really nice (even if the soundtrack was only Dolby Surround). Very detailed, but I only watched about 15 minutes or so of it. I was ready to eat lunch, and it's just a bit too bloody and gory to eat food while watching (at least for me).

Matt H. · « **Reply #96 on:** August 10, 2008, 01:15:35 PM »

So, I switched to last week's MAD MEN episode. A good one. Don is evolving! Wow!

Matt H. · « **Reply #97 on:** August 10, 2008, 01:18:54 PM »

Next I began watching WAYSIDE SCHOOL. I think the show is aiming for kids and adults rather like ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE used to do. Everyone's a nutcase in this schoolroom except for new student Todd who's constantly (but not on purpose) breaking rules and being sent home early on the kindergarten bus. The best episode I've seen thus far was when the kindergartners made him their king, and then everyone in his class got jealous that the tykes were showering him with attention.

Each of the episodes is made up of two 11-minute stories back-to-back. I had no trouble at all finishing the first disc this afternoon. I will do the second disc tonight. The time I have left over I'll finish watching INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE and then, if there's time, tonight's LAW & ORDER: CI skipping through the commercials.

Actually, I spend a great deal of time while I am watching a movie, pondering whether the star's belly button is an innie or an outie. Fortunately, with most of the movies I watch, there is no time wasted worrying about that.

Today they had a fun day at one of the park's in my neighborhood. They had those big blow-up things you jump in. And train rides.

We took my niece for a picnic (she was thrilled because she got to eat chips and cupcakes). And she went on as many of the rides as she was comfortable doing. She liked the train, and painting. And there was a boat ride for little kids.

It was actually quite fun. There is also sand there and slides. So she did that too!

She wanted to go on the train for a second time. But they wouldn't let adults on this time. And she would not go alone (sitting beside 2 other kids), even though the train was going slow and i told her i would run beside it!

Matt H. · « **Reply #101 on:** August 10, 2008, 01:49:27 PM »

Heading off-line to do a bit of writing and then back downstairs to clean my bathroom, put away the folded laundry, and then proceed to disc two of WAYSIDE SCHOOL.

Eileen Herlie, who played Laurence Olivier's mother in HAMLET, is 13 years younger than Olivier.

Jessie Royce Landis, who played Cary Grant's mother in NORTH BY NORTHWEST, is 8 years older than Grant.

Angela Lansbury was 2 years older than Laurence Harvey when she played his mother in the Manchurian Candidate

And Elmore and Matt beat me to it.

Michael · « **Reply #104 on:** August 10, 2008, 01:58:10 PM »

Then there is Angela Jolie being 1 year younger than Colin Farrell in Alexander

I have not read anything about taking more vitamin C when taking NAC. NAC is an amino acid that naturally occurs in many foods. I generally take one dose of 600 mg daily to help with my sinus problems and have not experienced any side effects. I wonder if the vitamin C recommendation assumed a higher dose.

It doesn't matter now, the store was all out. I'll look elsewhere tomorrow.

Thanks for the info.

Sunday afternoon greetings! It's gloriously cool, with low humidity, here in SW Ohio. After church today, we had a nice lunch visit with Rob and Mary Linda, did some errands, and are now resting up for tonight's Olympics broadcast.

DR Jane - I'm sorry you aren't feeling well today. Vibes for getting better before your company arrives!

Jane, how are you feeling? How is your mother in law?

Well, it is day 3 of a really bad head cold & cough, one that must be gone in the next two days or sooner.

The doctor said Keith's mother looks better than she did on Friday. He is obviously still concerned.

I feel bad no one is visiting her but I think it is best she stay very still so the sutures heal inside of her. She is sleeping most the time anyway.

Jane · « **Reply #111 on:** August 10, 2008, 02:40:50 PM »

Thank you DR Ginny. I'm hoping Keith doesn't catch this, and we don't need to go to L.A. Sometimes I wonder why everything happens at once & then I look at the upside, at least I didn't get sick during Keith's surgeries.

I am relieved to see that Jennifer has been posting today. When I heard about that huge explosion in Toronto, the first thing I thought of was Jennifer and Dan-in-Toronto. Unfortunately, I have no way to check up on Dan.

Wow! Today is my lucky day! First I get a notice that Microsoft and AOL are clebrating their anniverary (I didn't know they were dating) by awarding prizes to lucky individuals. My lucky ticket got me an award of 1,350,000 pounds, which I don't know the conversion rate, but I am sure is huge.

Then I have just received notice that the United Nations (of all people) has approved the disbursement to me of $8.3 million,

I guess my moon must be in Uranus!

Well, I guess I am just going to have to post even more inane comments than usual before BK gets home from rehearsal. Of course, I believe he is stopping at Genghis Cohen on his way home, so I am hopping that will temper his mood.

TCB · « **Reply #115 on:** August 10, 2008, 03:22:07 PM »

If not, this pathetic post total may drive him over the moon!

Jane · « **Reply #116 on:** August 10, 2008, 03:23:17 PM »

DR TCB, Dan in Toronto should be fine, at least his home. I'm presuming he was not near the plant.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #117 on:** August 10, 2008, 03:23:53 PM »

I read somewhere that there was an explosion in Toronto I thus emailed Dan in Toronto. I think DR Jennifer is in Montreal.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #118 on:** August 10, 2008, 03:26:16 PM »

Dan lives in a high Rise on the shore of Lake Ontario. From memory he and Gord don't even have a house plant. They should be fine.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #119 on:** August 10, 2008, 03:31:57 PM »

I've just updated my virus protection so I should not catch DR Jane's head cold. I hope that your cold disappears very quickly DR Jane.

I wonder how that once upon a time DR from Pudgy Sound is getting along healthwise.
