But not before we move to page two.

I, too, completed my taxes last night. My Federal Return has been accepted. It always takes the State Return a couple of days longer. Of course I OWE the State $257.....crazy!

I will use most of my Federal Refund to pay that bill.

You are NOT taxed more on the basis of race, sex, or age - BUT you are taxed MORE if you are single. It is the single discrimination that drives me up the wall.

I watched ROAD TO NASHVILLE last night - a cornucopia of 60's country acts.....which was pretty scary. The only thing that wasn't funny was the comedy.

I then watched SECRET FILE: HOLLYWOOD.

I believe I reviewed FANBOYS quite a while ago, but the mere fact that I cannot definitively remember tells me all I need to know about the film.

Not sure I will watch the SAG awards tonight - time will tell.

I think I have finally finished the PCPH 50th Anniversary DVD - again....but I think this time it is done. Heads and names kept getting cut off - but I do recommend MOVIE MEMORIES if anyone needs to do a slide show of photos for the T and V.

I see that THE KING'S SPEECH won the DGA honors last night.

I imagine that the Best Picture Oscar will be next.

DR Dakota, VIBES FOR YOUR COUSIN IN EGYPT!!!

A FB friend was doing her best to track her sister's flight out of Cairo yesterday. There was limited contact due to lack of cell phones and my friend spent a restless two days before receiving news her sister is safely back in the States.

Very, very disturbed to find an anti-Semitic site has linked to my Farmer article, after some rabid anti-Semite (evidently a famous one, from what I've been able to research) posted a long diatribe which repeated the Scientology disinformation. It's interesting in a sort of sickening way to see these sickos parrot the Scientologists about "mind control," though they do so through the filter of anti-Semitism.

I'm interested in RISE. I checked and can't get it on NetFlix. Is it only playing in small theaters? I can't find much about it even on IMBD.

Are you guys talking about the Topics Entertainment release I gave a rave review to?

If so, also check out REBEL, its "sibling" release.

Celebrates American figure skating while commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 1961 U.S. World Figure Skating Team that perished in a plane crash on its way to the World Championships in Prague. Produced and directed by 16-time Emmy Award winners Lookalike Productions, RISE documents the sports' growth in popularity over the years and features various luminaries of American figure skating. Proceeds from RISE will be used to further the mission of U.S. Figure Skating's Memorial Fund, which was established on Feb. 23, 1961, as a living legacy of those who lost their lives. The film's Feb. 17, 2011, premiere coincides with the 50th anniversary of the tragedy

I've been up since ten, but jumped right into the lyric redo. I finished it and have sent it off. I think it came out really well and FJL was very helpful in not only coming up with some good lines, but in finally getting my head into the right place to do this. It's really easy to come up with funny ways to say the lines, but what's not easy is making them rhyme and having them fit the music. But several of FJL's ideas showed me how I could rearrange things and make them work, which is what I did for the first two hours of the morning.

Now I'm writing the contextual commentary for the Sherman Brothers show. I don't anticipate any long stories in it, so hopefully it will go fast.

I would love to go the market and get some food, but it's pouring rain and I just washed my car three days ago so I'll wait till the rain stops.

You know, if you get stumped on that, just throw in "the biggest word you've ever heard": supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

Only in climates such as L.A. does one wait for the rain to stop before going out with a clean car.

Was ready to watch the Men's Final of the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS....ice skating...you know.'

DR JMK - when you wrote that you reviewed Beethoven 4-6......I thought you were talking about Dog movies.

Last night we treated ourselves to a delicious dinner at Blue Greek on Granite. We all enjoyed our meal & the owner spent time talking to Craig about Greece once she learned he had traveled there. She is not Greek but lived in Majorca & in Greece, or just traveled throughout Greece-not sure which. She adores Sherlock & was sorry he wasn't with us. Of course we didn't take him since the outdoor patio isn't open in the winter.

It had been over a month since we have dined out & prior to that even longer. This was a real treat. I brought home enough food for my dinner tonight.

I am definitely going to watch the SAG awards, and the Red Carpet on E!

My cold is a lot better. I'm just not sure if I will be able to go swimming tomorrow morning. I've been going for 1 1/2 hours. And I have not done any exercise since last Monday's swim. Not sure if I will have enough energy.

Sunday afternoon greetings! After an icy trip TO Lima this morning, we had a smooth, sunny trip back. Talked to my Mom on the phone and now I'm watching the men's figure skating final.

Jennifer I'm glad you are feeling better. Didn't you get an indoor something for exercising? If it is too cold outside are there indoor malls large enough for walking?

Bryan called to say he has a new webcamera. I hope Skype works now. Laters.
