Good Afternoon!

Well, time for some "domestic goddessing" - "god-ing" - and then it's back down to Carnegie Hall for today's dose of Cultcha.  -And since I may be having Indian food tonight for dinner, I may also be having some kulcha today too. 

Laters...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR JED!

[DERBRUCER]

Actually, I may take a walk first. I would think in 35-50 mph winds it should be more points than on a calm day

Doesn't it depend on the direction in which you are walking?

DR Jose, it changed a couple years ago

When do We Put the Clocks Back? Prior to 2007, people the United States always set their clocks forward an hour on the first Sunday in April and set their clocks back an hour on the last Sunday in October to observe Daylight Savings Time rules. However, as of the year 2007, Daylight Savings Time began to change and is now in place between the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November a change of only a few weeks. In 2007, the clocks will be set back on November 4th. This change was made as a result of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which was designed to lower the use of energy for heating and illuminating homes.

"People of the United States" does not include the non-aboriginals in Arizona.

The natives of Indiana have finally got with the program

I think I would have liked it best, DR ELMORE, if they had removed costumes for each act and ended the opera skyclad.

Unfortunately, I doubt most of the cast would look too good au naturel except for Ildebrando D'Arcangelo.

Our Upload Folder seems to be too full again. I suspect Australian interference.

Is this the production in question?

Sure is!

[elmore3003]

DR Jose, thanks for the Faceboo gift. I do have my button and t-shirt, which i wear quite proudly.

[td]

I have had a nice hot shower and I have vacuumed the house.
I have been to a restaurant meeting.
I still think there's a fall cold coming on.
Chicken soup for me today.

[bk]

Back from the long jog - pleasant today - very pretty out and a pretty easy jog.

[bk]

I think I'll try to get a jump on the lighting script right now - do about thirty minutes worth of work before I leave.

I am about to don a clown costume and head out to a Halloween Organ Recital.


Don't ask.

It all sounds like a euphemism to me!

[MBarnum]

DR Elmore, my mom makes me play that Jerome Kern CD that you sent to me, everytime I take her someplace in the car.

Of course I enjoy it too.

[DERBRUCER]

... head out to a Halloween Organ Recital.

Enjoy - pull out all the stops!

Seems DR Kerry is giving out design tips:

Seems to me it's MS, not BK, who needs a new avatar--all I'm seeing is a Red X where Michael Shayne used to be.

[JMK]

BTW, I reference our very own BK's not very secret disdain of Warner DVD transfers in my new review of Quo Vadis, which is live over at DVDTalk.

[Matt H.]

I don't think it got quite as warm as the forecasters said. It's fine for October, but I doubt it's in the mid 70s.

That's all I'm seeing as well. Why?

[Matt H.]

I did watch THE OFFICE from Thursday night as I ate lunch. Pleasant episode, not as fall down funny as some, but still just fine.

[Matt H.]

Then I watched Godard's BAND OF OUTSIDERS which I had never seen before. FIlled with Godard's usual disdain of traditional cinema and the light, fizzy mood just evaporated in the last 10-15 minutes of the film as things turned hostile and desperate. Not a great film, but certainly enjoyable to watch for at least 3/4 of its length.

[Matt H.]

The last film in the box I've never reviewed before is the one I'll be doing tonight: AU HASARD BALTHAZAR. Having never seen it either, my educationon la cinema du France continues.

It's only 95 minutes so I should finish it easily before my TV programs for the evening begin.

[Matt H.]

Next I watched CHARLIE CHAN IN RIO. I had never seen this mystery, and once again I was able to pick up on an early vital clue and tab the murderer long before the identity was revealed.

There is only one more Chan mystery in this last box: CASTLE IN THE DESERT, another CHan I have never seen before.

[Jane]

This damn cough will not go away. 

That isn't surprising, those coughs usually linger.

[Matt H.]

I concluded my afternoon viewing with IT'S THE GREAT PUMPKIN, CHARLIE BROWN. I knew I'd likely be too busy when ABC runs it this week, and since I had the DVD and it doesn't have commercials, I was able to squeeze it in during the last 25 minutes of afternoon viewing time.

[DERBRUCER]

BTW, I reference our very own BK's not very secret disdain of Warner DVD transfers in my new review of Quo Vadis, which is live over at DVDTalk.

Under the stolid if run of the mill (or De Mille, as the case may be) direction of Mervyn LeRoy...

Is groaning aloud allowed on DVD Talk?

I got an e-gift certificate to Barnes and Noble, which I used to get the new Chan box.  I was very surprised to see it at my doorstep a mere 2 days after I placed the order--much faster than Amazon ever has been.

der Brucer

LOL, I thought about that.  Then my NOAA weather radio went off with a warning that the winds are gusting to close to 60 mph. Since I live in a neighborhood of really old trees, I decided to clean out the closets, separate out the clothes to donate to Good Will, move my summer clothes to the guest room and my winter clothes into my room and deep clean my bedroom.  I'm about 75 % done and needed a WW fudge bar to be able to complete the task.

[Cillaliz]

DR Jose, thanks for the facebook button.  I also have a button and t-shirt, but something tells me they don't look like DR Elmore's

[DERBRUCER]

You had a candy bar saved from The Great War?

Yeah right...no a Weight Watchers Frozen Fudge bar. They taste great and are only 1 point
