You know you're in trouble when Blondchen is in a miniskirt, lying on a sectional La-Z-Boy couch.

Another Eurotrash production leaves the composer in the dust. Be glad it wasn't the one in which Constanza is beaten and raped and several simulated sexual acts occur. Caused quite a rumpus about two years ago in Germany.

Handy Man is still here. I think he's fixed both showers and snaked the drain. I think he still has to fix the toilet mechanism. Snaked The Drain - that's the title of my next novel.

Here is an interesting (ok, bizarre) film review of MILK done for a Christian website.

I have to wonder if this guy actually even saw the movie, because it doesn't sound like the movie that I just saw.

I have to say that our GUESTS love the topic called Snot. Having read it, I don't know what appeal that particular day holds for someone, but man do they read that one a lot.

BK, I don't think you need to explain yourself to us, but I am sure getting it off of your chest felt loads better.

It does, and I really felt I had to do it, because of this behind the scenes stuff.

And after watching MILK, I know have a new favorite actor,

Borzin Mottaghian, who played "Bodyguard # 1"

I have been out hiking all day.

Ok, mostly driving to go hiking. But I have been out all day.

How long was your hike once you got there?

Laura · « **Reply #160 on:** February 28, 2009, 04:29:54 PM »

Well, the wimpy people were ready to leave after about a mile and a half. So after we all got back to the church, Barbara and I hopped in the car and took off on our own. We hiked another couple of miles in a different location.

We didn't have enough rain this year for a good wildflower year. Maybe some stuff will bloom in March.

I had some pizza for lunch - excellent. I watched a bit more of The Dresser. The Handy Man has to come back at six, and I have to deliver CDs soon thereafter.

DR DtM just this morning I was reading many of the non-returnable items from Circuit City are broken & don't work.

DR Jane, I was wondering about that as I saw many people looking over and contemplating purchases of such items as display modes of HD TVs, PCs and laptops. I don't recall any warning signs of no refunds, either. The buyer should really beware, in this case.

For wildflowers come here in July and hike Mt. Ashland with me.

I find it very frustrating to drive far & then hike a short distance. I'm glad you had the option to split with Barbara.

"OUR TOWN" SPOILER WARNING - NEW DRAFT OF PARODY OF THE NEW PRODUCTION'S COUP DE THEATRE, with thanks to JoseSPiano and to PlayWiz of All That Chat

From ON OUR TOWN (to the tune of NEW YORK, NEW YORK, IT'S A HELLUVA TOWN)

(verse, moderately)
This play Our Town is for teachers and for scholars
That’s what the pundits claim
Sales should be down ‘cause the folks who pay the dollars
Are turned off by the name

But our business will cook
Got a sizzling hook
So our game
Is to light a flame

(a bit livelier)
It’s pork! It’s pork!
Theater won’t be the same!

(with energy)
It's pork, it's pork
A helluva coup
The bacon fries and the people go "ooh"
The most acclaim since the concert by Stew
It's pork, you dork -
A theatrical coup

The way it goes is this feller David Cromer
Caught lightning in a cup
The critics' noses are noting the aromer
And now their thumbs are up

Yeah it's makin' 'em hot
'Cause the bacon is what
Sells this pup.
Now let's go sup

On pork, on pork
It's makin' 'em kvell
Just think of all the concessions we'll sell
They're held in thrall by that helluva smell
It's pork, it's pork
It's a helluva smell!

We’ve seen revivals put on by Greg’ry Mosher
And by James Naughton too
But bacon live, though it’s not completely kosher
Sticks to the ribs like glue

Though Miss Piggy might chafe
We’re all jiggy with traif
And so nu
Let’s cue the crew

More pork. more pork
A gimmick with chops
The ham onstage even crackles and pops
Pig-malion’s next and we’ll use the same props
It’s pork, it’s pork
Yeah, the praise never stops

(dance break)

New pork. new pork
Our biggest expense
We closed the door so it’s filling the vents
So three cheers for the olfactory sense
Real pork, real pork
Say to hell with pretense!

Barbara was widowed about a year and a half ago and is still grieving. I try to take her out now and again. She thinks I'm lots of fun.

These are NOT pictures of moi. I do not have a crest, I have never had red hair, and my eyes are nowhere near that beady.

And I have never been caught in public wearing nothing but feathers.

This OUR TOWN production by David Cromer will, I hope, move to commercial off-Broadway, so that i could justify youtube-ing this spoiler parody (with appropriate spoiler warnings, that is)

DR Matt H. - I was just wondering if it is ever confusing for you, for movies you have not previously seen, to see the deleted scenes before viewing the feature.

If HHW were a picture dictionary, you would be next to the word "pathetic."

We had a report from someone along the trail that there was a rattlesnake. Barbara didn't think I was so much fun when I said we should go find it.
