I'm not a big Oliver Stone fan, either, but, I do really like his JFK (as a film not as history) and I truly enjoy every minute of ALEXANDER, especially in his final cut.

Or Rev. Melanie Petajan (her married name, not sure if she changed it after she divorced, but I think she's in your neck of the woods and now has a female partner).

DR JMK - those names don't sound familiar to me, but I will ask Richard. Do you know if either of them went to seminary at Nashotah House?

Speaking of names that go with professions, we sometimes hear an ad on the radio for a dentist named Dr. Lipps.

Simon wouldn't have as he's British. Totally cool guy, got in trouble at St. James for having the audacity to preach against the Iraq war. It was downhill from there (this was back in the ra-ra-Bushie era).

I'm not sure about Raggs. I know she was one of the first women ordained to be a priest and has a certain reputation due to that. In the small world department she had been the Chaplain at the Episcopalian parochial school I attended in Salt Lake City before she came up to Portland (obviously years after I attended).

DR TCB, congratulations on your win. I hope it didn't all go towards paying for brunch.

DR Ginny I think it is great you and Richard enjoy the long drives together listening to books.

Brunch at the Red Wind was okay. Not great, but okay. I ended up buying brunch for all four of us, because I won $450.00 on the slot machines.

Well, between that and the money Elmore is sending, I guess you can finally start to pay me back.

Speaking of snow, the weirdest damn thing happened today. I had to drive out to the theater where we'll be doing The Producers, for a final round of auditions. My neighborhood was wet, as in rain. As soon as I drove next to Lewis & Clark Law School, suddenly there was about six inches of snow on the ground! And it was just in this one 2 mile or so corridor next to Tryon Creek State Park. As soon as I got to Lake Oswego it was gone again. I've never seen "micro-weather" like that before. Absolutely no snow one second, turn a corner and there's six inches of it!

We get microweather every so often here in the summer... and sometimes even in the winter

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #223 on:** March 08, 2009, 07:40:52 PM »

I have seen it in the summer where it is pouring in on spot and less than a mile away the sun is shining..

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #224 on:** March 08, 2009, 07:41:51 PM »

One thing I have noted about older films and dvds is that they may not be closed captioned and I noticed that about The Far Pavilions

Well that's any day here in Portland.

What was weird here was the *amount* of snow--one place, nada. The next spot over half a foot.

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #226 on:** March 08, 2009, 07:42:24 PM »

that is a bit peculiar... May it is a harbinger for things to come

The closed captioning did show up for a hwile and then just quit.

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #229 on:** March 08, 2009, 07:44:16 PM »

oddly the converter box on the OLD TELLY and I mean old, is giving that one closed caption capability.

I spent the last 2.5 hours watching the 2nd half of the BBC 1983 production of Dickens' DOMBEY AND SON. I watched the first half last night and i enjoyed it very much. Lord, those Victorians were a mess and this one's about a man so obsessed with his young son as an heir to his fortune that he ignores his daughter who craves his affection. Excellent cast, most of whom I'd never seen before, with lots of travails, a great sense of the plight of women pimped by their mothers as trade, a good cry, and some eccentric characters before Dickens wraps it up.

More details on the lady who wanted her tickets upgraded, please. I love theater ticket stories.

I have always enjoyed the BBC victorian dramas. They are amazingly done. I love Cranford.

Watched another wonderful Bollywood movie! Now on my list of all time favorites...APRADHI KUAN?.

The film introduced Lillian to Hindi audiences. She couldn't act worth beans, but she has very big boobs, which I image is how she managed to get this role.

..and I think she is wearing one of Barbie's 1959 fasions.

LOL. That's all I know. I've had those seats since DR Sandra was in high school.
