From Jose:

They are. -And they are available at your local Whole Foods Market. -And they are also packaged under Trader Joe's house-brand.

Sure, rub it in that we don't have either of those store anywhere near us.

The closest TJ's is just over two hours away in California.

The closest WF's is about four hours away in Bend, Oregon. Often when we are in Portland we go to Whole Foods or when in L.A.

I am jealous the closest TJ to me is in the Twin Cities and Rochester, MN

A Trader Joe's just opened up here in Olympia about a year ago...it's only about five or six miles away from my house.

I watched THE SOCIAL NETWORK on DVD last night. I'd seen it in a theater when it was first released.

It's an excellent film, one that I will certainly watch again in the future.

But, Like RAGING BULL and even CITIZEN KANE, it's a film that I admire, rather than "love".

I "love" CASABLANCA. I "love" THE MALTESE FALCON. I "love" THE GODFATHER.

The difference is that I "care" about the characters in the movies that I love. I'm fascinated by the characters in THE SOCIAL NETWORK and the other films, but I don't really like them.

Despite all its great critical awards, I'll be surprised if THE SOCIAL NETWORK wins the Best Picture Oscar. The Academy doesn't usually give that award to movies they don't "love".

What do you think?

I believe the Best Picture Oscar will go to THE KING'S SPEECH.

Me. too.

I'm watching a half-hour inside look at "The King's Speech" from BBC America and it's quite fascinating. I hope that they have something like this on the DVD. They talked about how someone found Lionel Logue's grandson and he had all of his grandfather's journals. About a week before they started pre-production, they were able to change the script to incorporate a few actual lines that Lionel and the king actually said. Pretty cool!

George, that does sound like an interesting documentary I had read that also about the grandson of Lionel Logue who had his papers. Very cool that they incorporated some of that in

It was an excellent movie

I believe that THE SOCIAL NETWORK will Win The Best Picure Award because overall IMHO It Is The Best Movie Of The Year

I had a dream last night that George Clooney became engaged to a woman who had recently bought the house across the street from me and he was going to live there until the got married. I ran into him at the grocery store and he stopped by my driveway to try to fix the windshield wiper on the back of my car (which he couldn't do, but I could).
Then I was looking out my window and realized I had 22 bee stings on my back Then I woke up

Jack Lalanne has died at age 96

Jane · « **Reply #159 on:** January 23, 2011, 07:50:10 PM »

I thought he would make it to at least 100.

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #160 on:** January 23, 2011, 07:51:05 PM »

I read that. He lived a long life

Jane · « **Reply #161 on:** January 23, 2011, 07:52:04 PM »

Last night we watched the last episode of MEDIUM and strongly disliked it. Such a disappointing end to a series we have enjoyed very much.

But he was invincible. Ninety six was much younger than I expected from him.

He lived healthy for 96 years.

Laura · « **Reply #165 on:** January 23, 2011, 08:07:25 PM »

He died of pneumonia, which is common with older folks.

Good night Jane, pleasant dreams.

Good Evening!

OK... Well... I guess it is cold here in New York City now.

In other news...

I did manage to make it out of my apartment earlier. I ended wandering around the Time-Warner Center for a bit. My friend, Tim, was back working at Tumi, so we chatted and caught up a bit. And then my friend, Bradley, met me there and we did some window shopping. And then we met some friends down in Chinatown for some dinner at Old Sichuan.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #170 on:** January 23, 2011, 08:50:04 PM »

And then I came back here, turned on the TV, sat down on the couch... And, apparently, slept through most of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta".

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #171 on:** January 23, 2011, 08:50:49 PM »

And now...

I think I'm going to go to bed. I obviously need some rest and sleep.

Goodnight.

Eyes on the Solar System

I think this is the website my astronomy meeting speaker recommended. He said one could spend hours there.

Back from a nice dinner and a great show. The act has really come together and Jason was very generous in thanking me for the little bit of help I gave him. Great audience, too. More in the notes. I'll try to write another page or two now, but have been dealing with interim helper issues - they've been trying to split the work between the boyfriend and the best friend and it's too fragmented and I'm spending way too much time being a referee and worrying about stuff. The boyfriend is trying to protect the helper's job because I think he knows I'm very close to looking for a replacement, depending on what happens in the helper's life. I'm assured that tomorrow's CDs will ship tomorrow and that's all I care about right now. I totally forgot to announce our new title so I'll do that tonight at midnight.

Seems I need to take the tutorial in order to fly through space. Oh well maybe tomorrow night.

Listening to music is so much easier. Glad I managed to do that for a few hours today.

Along with laundry and yard work.

See ya.
