I forgot to mention that there was another episode of So You Think You Can Dance Canada on wednesday.  I might be biased, but they showed the auditions from montreal. I don't know if they showed every single one of the best auditions, but this was the best city auditions i've ever seen including the US version. For some reason there were tons of acrobatics and cirque du soleil type moves in the dances. It was unbelievable. I have no idea how many contestants from across the country will make the finals (i rhink there are usually 300 or so in the US). But it seemed like they took over 60 from montreal.


DR Jennifer - Cirque du Soleil's "training camp" and main rehearsal facilities are in Montreal.

THE SOLID GOLD CADILLAC is my favorite Holliday film.


I like this film, too! Why isn't it on DVD? Or is it?

That's a nightmare! Didn't you notice a strange $30 deduction every month?

I was about to ask the same thing.  With "electronic theft", unfortunately, being a common crime nowadays...  Do you have your bank statements so that you can reference the debits?

Dear BK - this didn't happen to involve the credit card you took with you on your last trip to NYC, did it?

It could explain way too much.   :P

TOD:

Book - Stand Facing the Stove, a dual bio of the mother and daughter who wrote The Joy of Cooking.

CD - Doctor Who, soundtrack for the third season.  Lots of fun.

DVD -

Just finished Heroes, Season Two.

Torchwood, Season Two has arrived.

But before I get to that, I've got History Boys waiting to be enjoyed.

I feel like taking a nap.

Somewhere in this house, there has to be a dog who would like to cuddle.

So, when Cason gets here we'll talk everything through, but it seems to me no matter what the contract says, Cason asked specific questions and was given specific answers (and he has the name of the person) and none of it jibes with what happened.  Also, one could take the tack that THEY closed our account, not us - so since WE didn't close it early, why should WE have to pay this penalty.  Cason, I'm told, was very clear with the person who set this up, and was told we could cancel at any time - penalties were never mentioned.   How it will play out is anyone's guess, but I'm livid at these people and I'm also petrified they'll attempt to debit the $295 right now - if they do we're screwed because the stop payment takes three days to go into effect.

Unfortunately, I send the statements to the guy who handles the Kritzerland stuff - I don't even open them.  Guess that will be changing now.

It doesn't involve a credit card at all - just this business services company we used so we could take cc's at our November event.

Why would there be audio commentary from the movie "2001" on the DVD for "The Godfather Part II"??

Yeah, Brando didn't turn into a Monolith until a few years later.  :)

Thanks to all for the congratulatory wishes on our emergence from the Dark Ages.  Richard and I just poured the contents of our refrigerator down the garbage disposal and filled up 2 curbside recycling bins.  The last thing Garbo swallowed was 2 part-bottles of Pepto-Bismol.  I'm sure he needed it.

Friday afternoon greetings!  I'm posting from my very own computer in our very own house with our very own power!  Richard says it came back on early this afternoon, which makes is almost 5 full days that we were without it.  Seemed like an eternity.

Happy news! :)

Has anyone seen the 1942 or 1983 versions of To Be or Not To Be? Should I look for a copy to watch?

They both have their moments, but it's the personalities who carry the story past its weakpoints. Jack Benny is funny, Carole Lombard delightful.  The only thing I really remember about the remake is a line:  "How can you have any theatre if you kill all the gay people, gypsies and Jews?"
Or something to that effect.
