DR Cillaliz - I think I posted travel times from Bethesda to Signature last night. I think. In any case...

About a 30-40 minute in "regular" traffic - Mapquest may say otherwise. About a 45-60 minute trip on the Metro coupled with a taxi ride from Pentagon City.

Hmmm, thanks, I may have missed it. Not sure that's going to work, more in terms of the cost of a cab etc. I'm actually considereing renting a car. I normally wouldn't but I'm going to have from 9:30 am until 4:00 PM the day I arrive and will have from noon until 7:30 PM the day I leave so it may be cheaper and easier to just have a car.

Would anybody like to buy my animals?

2 dogs and a cat.

Any animals that wake me up at 5:45 on a Sunday morning are for sale...cheap.

5:45? you're lucky.. Boo usually wakes me at 3:15 AM

It had lots of competition:

Best Music, Original Song

Winner:
Born Free (1966) - John Barry (I) (music); Don Black (I) (lyrics)
- For the song "Born Free".
- John Barry was not present at the awards ceremony.

Other Nominees:
Alfie (1966) - Burt Bacharach (music); Hal David (II) (lyrics)
- For the song "Alfie"

American Dream, An (1966) - Johnny Mandel (music); Paul Francis Webster (lyrics)
- For the song "A Time for Love"

Georgy Girl (1966) - Tom Springfield (music); Jim Dale (I) (lyrics)
- For the song "Georgy Girl"

Hawaii (1966) - Elmer Bernstein (music); Mack David (lyrics)
- For the song "My Wishing Doll"

der Brucer

I think the point being questioned was the number of songs OTHER than the ones nominated that might have qualified in the place of "My Wishing Doll." Looking back over the films of 1966, I'd say the song writer branch of the Academy certainly got most of the strongest songs in the competition pool.

Your noon-time hurricane update:

And, for Jane, the wordified version:

IKE's track stays south as it moves over Hispaniola and Cuba, temporarily weakening in strength - thus all of Florida, save the Keys, appears out of danger.

By 8Am Tuesday, Ike should be entering the Gulf of Mexico as a CAT 1

If by 8AM Wednesday, Ike is still on track, Florida will be safe and the Gulf Coast in real trouble!

By 8AM Friday, Ike is predicted to be back up to CAT 3 and be off the coast of LA

I believe DR Jane was saying that she could read those maps (from Fox news). It was some others she was having a problem with.

Speaking of films of 1966, did Henry Mancini have a song in ARABESQUE that might have qualified? I just noticed that 1966 was the first time in a number of years that he didn't have a song up for Best Song.

The cake was good. Of course, I would have preferred chocolate, but I also can't seem to recall the last time I had white cake, so it was to get reacquainted.

True to my word, I spent the afternoon with the CSI gang in Miami. The first of the untalented Elizabeth Berkley's guest shots was one of the episodes I watched. Also there was a commentary attached to the episode with Rex Linn (who plays Frank Tripp) embarrassingly slobbering over Elizabeth Berkley who's also there in the sound booth with him. He keeps telling her how HOT she is; I can't believe he has no more class than that.

Matt H. · « **Reply #134 on:** September 07, 2008, 01:36:36 PM »

In all, I got five more episodes watched this afternoon. I still have three more on the disc currently in the player, all of which I should be able to get done tonight before start watching TRUE BLOOD. Hopefully, I can get even more than three watched.

I'm on break until 6:00, and then I just have an hour with Disney. I did just have some Indian food (some Chili Chicken and "falooda"), and that actually might end being my final meal of the day except for a piece of fruit back at the hotel. We shall see.

In the meantime, I'm just hanging out outside and defrosting (the theater is cold!!

Hmmm... It seems like some of "locals" out here of the streets of uptown Charlotte are having a fight. Guess it's time to move inside.

The only thing I remember from El Cid's lyric is the opening two lines:

Be mine, love
On a cold winter's night, love

There is a song from Arabesque, called We've Loved Before - I have no memory of it, however - the lyric is by Livingston and Evans.

In doing my planning I realized that my flight leaves for DC at 6:10 AM. So I'll be leaving here Thursday Evening. Pet/Housesitter is all lined up. I've pretty much decided I'm going to get a car in DC. There are just too many hours when I have to be out of the hotel or can't check in yet and would either have to valet check my luggage (which I won't do for my laptop - which I'll need) or lug it akk around.

I have discounts with my membership in some of my organizations and can get a car for 3 days for about the price of round trip cab fare from the airport to the hotel. So, this way I'll be free to do exploring either via the metro or via car. I had forgotten how much free time I have 7 hours on Friday and about 5 hours on Sunday.

Cool! This may be part vacation after all..

Back from the book fair. Lots of dealers there, but very few customers. Apparently yesterday was better, but not by much. I'm thinking that book dealers just don't give a crap about the economy and what it's doing to people, because their prices are higher than ever before. I saw a book there that I sold to a dealer three or four years ago for $800. He sold it to a dealer and now that dealer has a price of $5000 on it. Puhleeze. One book that this particular dealer passed on because I wouldn't let him jerk me around was Blazing Guns On The Chisum Trail, which is the source novel for the film Red River. There was a copy at the fair today for $6,500 - yes, it was less problematic than mine, but not by much.

DR Michael S - I found a recording of "My Wishing Doll," which I did forward to DR tomovoz, now just let me find it again, and I'll make sure that you receive it.

NO You didn't! Maybe it is next to "Applause"

I did buy the Charlie Byrd version which I am quite happy to record for Michael.
(To whom I sent an email with offer some weeks ago!). Now it will have to wait until November.

Of course as a retired person I have all the time in the world so I shall not cast aspertions, assertions, nasturtiums or pearls

Question: What was the last Oscar-winning song that has actually become a "standard"?

Or, that we even remember?

The nominated songs for the last several years are so bland and forgettable that, I'll bet you'll have to go back a decade or more to find the answer.

"It's hard out Here For a Pimp" and "Lose Yourself". Two wonderful standards in the making.
DR FJL probably sings them in the shower.
