PAGE 21, 600TH 601ST POST DANCE!!

[JoseSPiano]

Then I watched the marvelous PARIS, TEXAS. Yep, it's a languidly paced film, but it never feels dull to me, and I find the ending both triumphant and tragic at the same time. It's a terrific film.

Funny the things one remembers...

"Paris, Texas" is one of the first movies I remember seeing reviewed on "At The Movies" with Siskel and Ebert.

[Julie]

BK will be very happy that we made it to page 21.

Another funny thing...all the time that "Paris, Texas" was mentioned today, I was actually thinking of the movie, "Happy, Texas."

I believe Nine got exactly the number of awards it deserved - 0.

Oh Drat, we missed JRands 40404

The picture can be...forged.

You have skills I never knew about.

I only know what I know.

I just got off the phone with muse Margaret and the news was wonderful - she loved it all and went into quite some detail about it.  She thought it was funny, touching, and two things made her cry.  She had only three little tiny things for me to add, some additional detail and a grammar fix.  That was it.  Very happy here in the City of Studio.

But what you know you know well.

Although I found THE HANGOVER very funny (and it was a huge hit; the biggest of the nominated comedies), I was actually quite surprised the HFPA didn't go for (500) DAYS OF SUMMER. It's got more of an art house vibe to it that they sometimes like.

[George]

Tonight's GG par-tay was fun.  The 5:30am wake-up call I had this morning has caught up with me, though - 'night!

Ginny's last post today was her 12929th post...on her 29th Anniversary!

HAPPY TEXAS was a very different movie indeed!

Nice!

Now, I need to head downstairs and go to bed. I'm up WAY later than I've been staying up since my trouble this summer, and I need to rest.

Good night!

[Julie]

I will say good night, too.

Thanks all for the company tonight.

From the read the labels file:

Woody brought me a jar of Hellmann's Low Fat mayo to try:

Yeah it's low fat alright a reduction from 10 to 1 grams and lower
Cholesterol – 5 mg to 0,

BUT

It has a huge jump in sodium  - from 90 mg to 130, and it has something new - 2g or carbs 

Plus many more additives - colorings, preservatives, etc.

Translation - they eliminated the egg yolks and compensated for the textural loss by adding cornstarch and beefed up the flavor with much more salt and an added dose of high fructose corn syrup!

And it tastes like UNDERPANTS!

(You can really taste the added, and most unwelcome  "sweet".

der Brucer

My niece uses Vegenaise, a vegan mayo that even I think is not too bad.  It does have 9 grams of fat, but there's no cholesterol or carbs and only 85 mg of sodium.

Here are the ingredients: Canola Oil, Filtered Water, Apple Cider Vinegar, Brown Rice Syrup, Soy Protein, Sea Salt, Lemon Juice, and Mustard Flour.

[JoseSPiano]

Me three.

Goodnight.

[George]

Has anyone seen The Hangover?

Not me......but I feel like I have.

I just checked my netflix queue to make sure it wasn't there by mistake.

It's in my Netflix queue.  I love Ed Helms...but I've never seen "The Office."

[bk]

Just remembered yet another episode I did in 1973, but I'm not really sure it's even worth mentioning - there's no real interesting story there - maybe I'll just add one sentence, but I really don't think it's necessary to mention every show and every commercial (I'm only mentioning a couple of commercials in detail, when there's an interesting story to go with it).

[DERBRUCER]

... instead of mayo on bread i spread a little soft avocado.  is avocado on your new diet? 

Thanfully, yes - it is a personal favorite. The dieticians should be pleased with one of my favorite lunches - sardines and avacado on whole wheat bread.

der Brucer

They will be less pleased with my favorite breakfast - three poached eggs over heavily buttered wheat toast.

[bk]

I guess I should write some notes.

[DERBRUCER]

I do recommend UMCOR as a donation beneficiary.  They've been in Haiti for years and years.

Noted - thank you. At only $5 a text my fingers might wear out before they get a decent sum

der Brucer

Hmmm...bet I can make the text donation a speed dial entry

[bk]

I've written an old pal of mine several times via Facebook to no response.  This baffles me and irks me.  Since she's on every two minutes I know she's gotten the private and public missives.  I just wrote her again and asked her to have the courtesy of letting me know if there's some sort of problem, although I cannot imagine what that might be, since we've had nothing less than pleasant and even nice dealings over the last decade.

If I don't get a response at all, well, let's just say I can be a VERY bad boy in this little book I'm writing.  She'll definitely be in the book and I'm not going to be mean or anything, but the details can either be light or heavy and either way will work.  Rudeness begets rudeness.
