I don't know of many more interesting things in Chicago than what you have already done DR JOSE. I don't know if the ferris wheel is running right now.

As for a Floop Video Redux, well...

Maybe it needs to "re-made" à la MST3K with the silhouettes of DR MBarnum and JRand.

DR JRand - I actually went down to Navy Pier yesterday. It was sunny, but cold. And it got colder and windier the further I went out on the pier. The Ferris Wheel was running, but I just wasn't in the mood for a "loop". I was also sort of turned off by the fact that most of Navy Pier is basically one big Food Court and a lot of souvenir shops. -And since it was Monday, there was nothing going on at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater.

For all you film noir fans, Warner Archive is now offering Fritz Lang's WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS and BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT.

DR JohnG - RE: That article on Balinese cockfighting - Maybe the author was in a Mickey Spillane mode?

Mr. Farley Granger, the man who was Guy Haines before Guy Haines was Guy Haines, has passed away at eighty-five. What a long and great life.

When I went swimming yesterday they had taken all the doors off of the showers. I was not impressed.

The girl at the front desk said it was because some of the women had been locking themselves in the rooms when there were huge lines. I complained and she said she would talk to the director.

At least they are opening the women's lockerroom in a couple of weeks.

So it is partially your fault-LOL.
Vibes you are happy with the new locker room & showers!

You know who the last Pirates order was from? Marshall Brickman. He used Philippe Sarde on his film Lovesick.

Thanks. He is safely home & I slept in my own bed again last night. I wish my bed were as comfortable as his is.

I am shocked to see I made the very last post yesterday.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #45 on:** March 29, 2011, 08:57:20 AM »

OK. I'm off to do some laundry.

And get try out the taqueria on the corner too.

Laters...

Sorry to hear about Mr Granger.

I'm so observant I just now noticed the ground is wet. Keith said it rained this morning.

DR MBarnum - Maybe you should bring one of your Bollywood magazines into the hot tub with you. That could prompt some conversation. Or cease it.

Otherwise, I know a lot of places that do not allow any sort of reading material in a hot tub. The potential for paper clogs is too easy. You may want to report the mean guy to the front desk.

Paper clogs--that will be my next fashion shoe design. It will be this fall's rage.

I would like to get around to reading his book one of these days.

DR Jane, that show you were interested with Dana Delaney, BODY OF PROOF starts tonight at 10pm on ABC.

Fed Ex package is here, so that's lovelier than lovely, and now the part can be installed this afternoon.

Just loaded 7 pairs of capris, 6 pairs of slacks, 2 skirts, and 4 pairs of shoes into the car to take to the consignment shop. Oh, and I've readied the guest room for my cousin.

John G. · « **Reply #53 on:** March 29, 2011, 11:33:31 AM »

I always enjoyed Granger in "Strangers on a Train." And he wasn't bad on the "First Impressions" recording, though his voice does seem a bit higher than Polly Bergen's. Not how I imagine Darcy and Elizabeth singing.

John G. · « **Reply #54 on:** March 29, 2011, 11:34:38 AM »

No articles on cockfighting today, though I may have to read one on Enlightenment as Mass Deception. That is, if I get my taxes done. They're not pretty this year.

Ginny · « **Reply #55 on:** March 29, 2011, 12:00:29 PM »

Off to Yesterdays (consignment shop) and then to do some other shopping before I meet my mom and cousin for dinner - bye for now!

I now know why our justice system moves so slowly - TWO hour lunch breaks...sheesh. I've made a new wonderful discovery though - chocolate-covered cinnamon gummy bears - yummilicious! Anyway, jury selection is taking forever. If someone admits they might be a less-than-impartial juror, the judge, defending attorney, and prosecuting attorney all ask him to talk about that three different times, phrasing the same question three different ways. I just wanted to yell, "look, you can ask him the same question three times, but he'll still be a bigot no matter how you phrase the question!"

Amy · « **Reply #57 on:** March 29, 2011, 12:18:56 PM »

Thanks, Laura! I haven't yet been called to the jury box, so I still have time to start coughing a lot.

Good Afternoon!

Laundry - Done! -And it was a nice laundromat too.
Lunch - Done! -A torta al pastor from El Pueblita, which is just two blocks away. Quite good and very filling.
Nap - Contemplating...

Actually, DR Amy, if you do yell that, I'm sure that would get you out of jury duty.
