Well, you've read the notes, you've taken a gander and a goose at the notes, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're looking for the goose and the gander.

TOD:

I have no idea what year I got my first cell phone, but I think it was a Motorola. I now have a Blackberry. I don't use mine all that often - don't even have it on all that much - but at times it has come in very, very handy.

My first cell phone was a very bulky phone, and at the time I liked it that way because I was always aware of where it was. But it was hard to carry around during the summer or any time that a jacket wasn't needed. (Not sure exactly when I first got it, but I do remember using it during my nephew's bar mitzvah in October 2001 to get a car service back to Manhattan late on a Saturday night, and that I was not used to having it on me then.)

I got my first cell phone in 2002 -- just after my long solo drive to visit DR Megan. I had it when I made the long drive back the next month to bring her back home. I hate to be without it now.

Not to wreak any kind of havoc or anything, but Jarre's score to "A Passage to India" was no more a reworking of his score to "Ryan's Daughter" than was the latter (and last) David Lean film a reworking of the former David Lean film.

Oh, I won't create havoc, but the first ten notes of "Rosie' Theme" are repeated as the first ten notes of one of A PASSAGE TO INDIA's major themes. It's a very interesting usage of those ten notes: Adela Quested, the protagonist of A PASSAGE TO INDIA is also a character in one other of E. M. Forster's novels, albeit on the sidelines; the fact that Mr. Jarre would use a recurring motif for both Rosie Ryan and Adela Quested, two early 20th century heroines with similar minds is to me part of the genius which is Jarre.
After Bernard Hermann, there are more Jarre compositions in my ITunes/IPod than any other film composers.

Anyway, good morning, I'm up and I'm about to take a healthy walk around the Pittsburgh Mills.

TOD - Fall of 1994. When I started teaching at Miami University in Oxford, a grizzly 25-mile drive from home, I said I'd get a "car phone" before the bad weather set in. Well, in September, my car died about 5 miles out of Oxford and I pulled off to the side of the road, put my HELP sign in the back window and waited. The cows from the adjacent field came over and peered into my passenger side windows and, finally, a Butler County sheriff stopped. He called a tow truck to come for my car and took me on to work in his cruiser.

The next day I got a clunky phone in a bag that I kept under the seat. It was a pain to hook up and would have been pretty useless in a real emergency. Since then, I've had 3 successively smaller models and, in 2003, added Richard and Rob to the plan. We're pretty dependent on our cell phones now and I doubt Rob will ever have a land line. If when Richard and I ever move from this house, we probably won't have one, either.

Good morning, all! I'm a little hung over from last night's bottle of wine with Lorin McGlinn. One of my dearest friends, who was on the emisl regarding John's death, was upset this morning because she didn't knowe aboout his death until today! Oy.

I'm working at home today and then heading down to the library and the pharmacy. This week's going to get crazier, so I need to accomplish what I can before then.

I bought my first cell phone in Nov 2006 so that I could keep in touch with my dad while I was in LA with THE BRAIN FROM PLANET X.

I have had a cell phone for about six years, I guess. I only use it in case of emergencies, but I do carry it with me in the car.

It is a Motorola......this is my second one. The first one was also a Motorola.

he theory of recapitulation, also called the biogenetic law or embryological parallelism, and often expressed as ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny, was put forward by Étienne Serres in 1824–26.

Thanks to DR FJL for putting up the TAPIOCA clip last night. I am always amazed that James Fox can tap dance in suede shoes.

Last night I watched Beyond the Valley of the Dolls - which I first saw on a drive-in TRIPLE FEATURE from 20 Century-Fox that featured:

Valley of the Dolls
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
Myra Breckinridge

It's still an impossible movie - but most of the cast (with the exception of Edy Williams) is attractive. But my favorite part of the movie EVER and ALWAYS happens about 20 minutes into it when the Carrie Nations sing a song titled "In the Long Run." A really nice song, and at least from what little I know about the guitar, Cynthia Myers as Casey Anderson seems to actually be playing the right strings and chords on her bass.

"In the Long Run" starts at about 7:57 in this clip.....

And Dolly Read (Mrs. Dick Martin) is wearing one of Sharon Tate's costumes from VOD to the party....and during the song that evil Ronnie Barzell is making eyes at Harris, who is Dolly's boyfriend/manager.
