Except that is John James, not Gordon Thompson.

Well, I just screwed up all the way around! LOL!

And I was wondering why that photo looked nothing like I rememberd Gordon Thompson as looking like.

Here is the real Gordon Thomson:

I just watched Hitchcock's I CONFESS.  I must confess that it was the first time I had seen it.  It is a very good movie with a great performance from Montgomery Clift.  Warners' transfer is one of their best black and white efforts.  The making of doc was standard, with Peter Bogdonavich wearing lilac + ascot taking up the most screen time.

I must say that the Cheesecake Factory and Claim Jumper are the least diet-friendly restaurants of any I've been in.

Do they post armed police to insure you clean your plate?

Oh, I love brussels sprouts roasted with a little olive oil.

I bet you serve them with crawdads!

der Brucer

[DERBRUCER]

Ugh, I do not like brussel sprouts.

Then avoid a homecooked Christams dinner in England

I just got back from Equus.

Did they have audience seated in bleachers on-stage?

...with Peter Bogdonavich wearing lilac + ascot ...

Did the lilac covering his private parts - or did he have a really long ascot?

Yes, there is on-stage seating for this production as in the original.

We have a garbage disposal, but it is kind of redundant - county zoning requires we have an in-line grinder between our plumbing and the sewer system; it cost me a $400 plumbing repair call to learn that the grinder can not accommodate grease build up!

der Brucer

And since the grinder/pump is operated by electricity, if you lose power you best not flush!

[DERBRUCER]

We just throw the garbage in the actual garbage.

That wouldn't work so well where we live. Refuse (all mixed together) is only picked up once a week; and, you can't throw gargbage out before collection day or the racoons will have it all over the yard!

AN ASS THAT I FORGOT - that's the title of the new musical about Jeff Stryker and - oh, wait, this is a family site - it's the new sequel to Shrek

ROTFLMAO!!

I'm curious does the RENT movie cost $22 everywhere?  That might not make anyone want to go with me.

It's only $20, here in Olympia, but I don't know if there will be any additional fees if you buy them on-line vs. in person.

There are some very cool clips of the new RENT movie:

Thanks for posting this.  My friend Margo and I are planning on seeing this next Saturday...on my sister's birthday!  It's only playing at noon, but my sister and her friends (there's a group of five of them that've been friends since college!) are going out to celebrate my sister's 44th birthday.  Our family is all getting together to celebrate on Sunday, the next day.

I'm back from the reading of the new musical, which was, in a word, inept and horrid (two words).  We did end up eating at The Cheesecake Factory and it was great - this week's one and only splurge meal and it wasn't too bad - Barry and I split a small Caesar salad (although I had two-thirds and he a third - I was full already just from that) - then I had the farfalle with chicken, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms in a very light cream sauce.  It wasn't as huge as it usually is - probably six ounces of pasta, and boy did it do the trick.  And I did eat it all up.  But, no dessert, and no other meals today, and the long jog probably means I'm okay.

What happens when opera singers yodel...

In-freakin'-credible!!

I noticed that one of the related videos was of a young man, Philippe Jaroussky and a video of him singing a Vivaldi aria.  Wow!  He's a counter-tenor and is very, very good.  

[George]

I did a Google search and found his MySpace page, but it looks like it hasn't been updated recently.  When I read the comments, it looks like he has a stalker!! Talk about freaky!  Check it out, but check him out, too.  He's VERY good...and very nice to look at. And click HERE for his record company home page.
