Before I left for lunch, I had a chance to watch Tuesday night's SOUTHLAND. It was another brutal, dark episode, and, of course, I loved it. One of the plots (the whiny wife who didn't want to go to a box store and got embarrassed there) I could have done without, but I've hated this couple and their storyline since the start of the series.


What is a box store?

Just a wild guess here:  a store that sells boxes.   ;D


That was my first guess, but I assume there is another answer.

And now for something completely different... ::)

The NY Times' review of Love Never Dies:

Same Phantom, Different Spirit

I was surprised that so many of the reviews I have read have been fairly positive.

The VARIETY review was negative but not a total pan.

I watched a movie from the library that i did not think I would like. But I enjoyed it very much: Inglorious Basterds.

I really did not think it would be my kind of movie. But it was very interesting and not really what i was expecting. I think Chris Waltz was excellent.  Surprisingly to me, Brad Pitt was one of my least favorite parts of the movie!

Also i had no idea that most of the movie was in subtitles. Fine for the french parts. But a bit hard on me for the German parts (since i don't wear my glasses when i watch tv).

I, too, always loved Mr. Welk. 

Did you also love Norma Zimmer?

And Bobby And Cissy?  (Cissy was the one in the dress, despite any conclusions that might have been drawn from observance only).

My Dear MIL was a big Lawrence Welk fan.  She watched the shows over & over again in her later years.

I think that I've told this before, but my dad's grandmother LOVED Lawrence Welk.  She lived with my grandfather (her son) and every week they HAD to watch The Lawrence Welk Show on TV.  One year for her birthday, they all got tickets to see the show live and she got do dance with Lawrence Welk!  My dad said that she fell asleep and died quietly while watching the show.  She was 92 years old.

That should've been "died peacefully," instead of "quietly."

I am fairly sure that I was the only person at Jewett Elementary school who watched THE LAWRENCE WELK show on purpose.

Thank you, Matt.  I had never heard the term before.

I'm guessing the Grant work session is not happening - I hate when we set a date (which we did three days ago) and then it changes.  It needs to happen soon - this book is not as easy to design as the others, due to the photos and the decision about using stuff to precede chapters - it's complicated and I want to get it done and off within the next two weeks.

If Grant doesn't happen this evening, I have a screening of The Ghost Writer, but I'm so tired I just don't know if I want to drive over the hill and then back at nine.

Well, I'm off.  I'm working concessions for a showing of the movie, "Sunrise" at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts.  It'll be fun watching it on "the big screen"!



Until later!

Or, for those with non-LDS sensibilities,  a women's sex shop.

I'm tiiiiiiired.  Watched this week's Lost.  I know MattH loved it - but, I'm afraid, not me.  I just hate the alternate timeline and no matter how it pays off it is, for me, not worth whatever it's going to be.

I'm watching The Bank Shot.  All I've ever seen is the hideous pan and scan DVD - well, it's still not a very good movie, but it now looks as it should in scope and the compositions are no longer amateur and it's quite well directed.

George, I told you that you would finally start getting newer movies down in Olympia.  Some of them are actually in COLOR now!

Gee, BK, I think this is the most political I've ever seen you, but I'm still not quite clear where you stand on what all has happened in recent years.

Just another thought on the topic of the day.  People want all the government entitlement programs and services -- medicare, social security police, fireman, strong armed forces, good schools -- but they have to be paid for.  That means taxation.  It cannot happen by just lowering taxes on the rich.  As was proved by eight years of Bush, whose administration I still hold primarily responsible for the mess we are currently in.
