I went to bed at 8:30 last night and just woke up a half hour ago. I guess I needed some sleep.

Signing on from Toyland, Ron Raines just called me to tell me I was mentioned on WQXR this morning; they're playing McGlinn recordings. I'm not sure when my colleagiue asnd Jonathan Larson Grant winner Curtis Moore ("let America come!") is showing up, so I'm writing up all of my edits and I have to dig around for a missing score. First I have to figure out which number it is I need to hunt for in the storage cartons.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very Happy Birthday Wishes to our DR Matthew !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can remember when the NuArt Theater in Los Angeles was showing films like Kansas City Trucking Co.

Same theater, previous incarnation.

(PS to DR Elmore: This is from the days before VHS.   ;))

Pardon me while I pull a der Brucer and pull something from the news.

This is from the NYTimes: Reading the Tea Leaves, Snapple Refreshes Itself


It seems, that in addition to changing their lable and bottle dimentions, they're changing the formula for their tea, with surprising results:

Quote
Real sugar is replacing the corn syrup. (Sugar vs. corn syrup, by the way, is the difference between Mexican and American Coca-Cola.) In some cases, that has actually resulted in a decrease in calories.

The old ingredient list for Lemon Snapple Iced Tea: “water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, tea, natural flavors.” Calories: 200. The new ingredient list: “filtered water, sugar, citric acid, tea, natural flavors.” Calories: 160.

So, the lesson to be learned here that High Fructose Corn Syrup isn't necessarily as good for you as plain old sugar!  No matter what the HFCS ads on television say!

(Der B, of course, had to wonder how much more Snapple is paying for the sugar, as opposed to the HFCS.)

I totally forgot to mention that MY SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN was filmed about 45 minutes outside of Montreal at Mount Tremblant (Laurentian Mountains) It is most famous for its ski resort and if memory serves there is a ski run called My Side of the Mountain.

I slept all night long and in a bed! I went to bed at 10 PM and only woke at 4:30 for drink and then went back down until nearly 8 AM


It was lovely!

HAppiest of Birthdays to Matthew!

Enjoy playing with your Wii.  We enjoyed the "Mii" screen where you can design your own cgaracter to represent you during the games.

The only game I am any good at is frisbee golf.  I am terrible at all the rest.

I am disturbed that there may be an episode of The Amazing Race on during the Oscar telecast.

This is definitely happening. Sorry.

RE: eyeglasses

I have AAA and we get 30% off from Lenscrafters, but I still found Walmart (when I brought the Vixter there last April) cost me half of what I would have spent at Lenscrafters even after the discount.

Saturday morning greetings!  The Miami University All-Choir Bicentennial Spectacular was - well - spectacular.  We had 3 numbers each from the Chamber Singers, the Choraliers, the Collegiate Chorale, and the Men's Glee Club, then they combined to do "the loud parts" of Carmina Burana and John Rutter's Gloria.

TOD:

I mentioned yesterday that our local revival theater was The Visulite. Now for the most notable films I saw there.

The local TV stations would never shell out the big bucks to rent MGM movie packages, so I grew up never having seen EASTER PARADE, THE PIRATE, SINGIN' IN THE RAIN, ON THE TOWN, MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS or any of those classics. So, whenever there was an MGM double feature, I was there. They'd usually do double features with the same star: Fred Astaire in ROYAL WEDDING and THE BAND WAGON or Gene Kelly in AN AMERICAN IN PARIS and LES GIRLS. So, before I saw them on VHS, I saw many MGM musicals at the Visulite.

I also saw all of the Marx Brothers' MGM movies there in usually triple features but always coupled with A NIGHT AT THE OPERA as the major drawing card. (So I saw it two or three times for only one time for AT THE CIRCUS or GO WEST.) They never got THE BIG STORE, so I only saw it a few years ago for the first time. Amazing!

Thanks for the tip, DR Vixmom.  I think I'll ask for a written prescription from my optometrist's office to have a spare pair made.  This will be a long week, wearing my sunglasses.  Fortunately, they're not too dark and are lighter in the reading portion.  Night driving is out, though.

Congratulations on your good sleep!

Hey everyone - thanks for the birthday wishes.  I'm up early on a Saturday as I was having nightmares about conducting Kiss Me Kate with large thick tree stumps.  Something about "Brush Up Your Shakespeare" - it was weird.   Anyhow, thank you all so much.

Also at the Visulite, I saw a double feature of CABARET and SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE. Of course, I had seen CABARET when it first came out, but had never seen SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE (paired due to Michael York).

Another famous pairing: THE BOYS IN THE BAND with THE DAMNED.

Another famous pairing: FELLINI SATYRICON with FELLINI'S ROMA

Today I'll be working on RICK & STEVE - Season 2. It's the gay animated series that is definitely not for kids. There are eight episodes but together it lasts less than 200 minutes, so it should be easy to finish this today.

I forgot to mention that also in yesterday's review copies was a new release of PRIMAL FEAR. I have never bought this on DVD; I only had the laserdisc, so I'm glad to have it to review and glad to add a DVD to my collection. This is the movie in which Edward Norton first came bursting into the "cinema firmament," and he was stunning in this part (earned an Oscar nomination, too). But it didn't come with a press release, so I'm not sure when it's coming out. I'll have to check at Amazon.
