long enough to drive one totally insane!

For some DRs it is a shorter trip than for others.

Been to Cinecon, and have been unboxing books and putting them on the new metal shelves ever since. I'm exhausted! But we unboxed about thirty boxes, and that alleviated all the sag from the wood shelves where they were, so all is well in that regard. He's now putting everything away (he had to move a lot of stuff) and then the garage project will be done!

Here's a question for you country music fans out there. Does anyone have Don't Let the Stars Get In Your Eyes as sung by George Jones? It's available by all sorts of people and we have a Perry Como version but we are specifically looking for George Jones (it was used in Big Eden). The only CD listing I can find is out of print "George Jones Sings the Hits of His Country Cousins". One user is selling the CD used for $17.99 and another is selling it for something like $68. I will check at Academy when we get back in the city but for now I thought I would ask at my lovely neighborhood hangout.

I've googled all over the place. I haven't been able to find any Youtube or other video clips of him performing the song either.

Is there a "Big Eden" soundtrack available?

Nope, that's why I was asking. The film is out on DVD but they never released a "soundtrack". It's probably a licensing nightmare.

OK-- I figured you'd probably prefer the soundtrack than a whole CD of George Jones (but I could be wrong). Anyway, I'll keep an eye out. Keep us posted--OK?

We are trying to put together our own CD. We have every track from the movie except the George Jones track. I'll keep looking.

I've tried, too. . .all I could come up with is this:

It is DS Zach's birthday today ...

Are you saving up for the big 13?

der Brucer

My thoughts. It is easier the 2nd time, just be sure to save all the info from the last party.

Happy Birthday Zack!

At Disneyland we rode in the front car of It's a Small World, Richard singing at the top of his lungs. Rob (age 11) was mortified.

Gosh!

Some Birthday cakes can look so ugly!!

True. It looks like an ice cream cake & might be tastier than it looks. I hope that Zachary is an M & M's fans.

I continued watching BONES episodes right through eating lunch. I watched probnably my favorite BONES episode: the one when Tempi and Hodgins get buried alive in her car. As many times as I've seen it, it never fails to capture my complete attention and to make me weep. It's a brilliant episode.

Great episode.

Thanks for mentioning DUPLICITY. A NetFlix didn’t arrive today leaving us with nothing to watch until Tuesday’s mail. DUPLICITY is on Directv pay per view. Maybe we will watch it tonight.

I dunno. That cake has M&Ms on it, which makes it okay by me.

Jane · « **Reply #132 on:** September 05, 2009, 03:41:11 PM »

DR François is there such a thing as an ugly cake in Paris?

bk · « **Reply #133 on:** September 05, 2009, 03:43:23 PM »

Almost finished, just putting away the last of the stuff, and the garage looks faboo, and my car will now fit in there quite wonderfully and easily.

bk · « **Reply #134 on:** September 05, 2009, 03:43:56 PM »

And I'm starving, so I may go grab a bite somewhere, but I have no idea what I want or if I want to go sit somewhere or bring something back here.

bk · « **Reply #135 on:** September 05, 2009, 03:46:07 PM »

I could, of course, make some pasta with butter and cheese, but I eat too much if I do that. I could go to Hugo's and have pasta papa and a small salad, or I could go to the Studio Cafe and have wings. However, frankly I don't feel like any of it. I know I don't want Jerry's - been having that way too much lately, and definitely don't want Du-Par's. What to do? Certainly not Gelson's. Which only leaves pizza, Subway (a possibility) or something I'm not thinking of like Popeye's (well, I just thought of it so I am thinking of it).

If I hadn't found out the caloric and fat-gram count of the Hamlet nachos, I'd go have me an order of those - but since I did, I just can't do it. It's like 2000 calories and 200 grams of fat - absolutely outrageous.

bk · « **Reply #137 on:** September 05, 2009, 03:47:17 PM »

I could go have a salad at Stanley's.

bk · « **Reply #138 on:** September 05, 2009, 03:47:22 PM »

I don't know.

bk · « **Reply #139 on:** September 05, 2009, 03:47:43 PM »

Pizza would be quick and easy at Quickie's but I've been spoiled by Dino's.

bk · « **Reply #140 on:** September 05, 2009, 03:47:58 PM »

I could go to the barbecue jernt, but I eat too much there.

bk · « **Reply #141 on:** September 05, 2009, 03:48:06 PM »

Oh, dear, oh, dear.

bk · « **Reply #142 on:** September 05, 2009, 03:48:27 PM »

I got a couple of packages today - nothing too interesting.

bk · « **Reply #143 on:** September 05, 2009, 03:49:04 PM »

And I have to decide what I'm watching, other than a very low-budget Brit gangster film from the late 60s by a director I've never heard of - it's on Blu-Ray and plays in US players.

bk · « **Reply #144 on:** September 05, 2009, 03:49:43 PM »

Could watch Ghostbusters on Blu-Ray, or a DVD of Miracle Mile, which I've been told is good, or Inspector Closeau with Alan Arkin, which I know is not.

bk · « **Reply #145 on:** September 05, 2009, 03:49:55 PM »

What am I, doing a monologue?

bk · « **Reply #146 on:** September 05, 2009, 03:50:04 PM »

Maybe Hugo's is the answer.

bk · « **Reply #147 on:** September 05, 2009, 03:50:40 PM »

Maybe not.

Well, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", they say, so ... BUT, cakes in France tend , imho, to look more "sophisticated" (Elaborated) than the ones I saw in the States!

Why is it that most edible items in the US have to be associated with a brand?!?

Cultural differences I guess!
