The story;

I was in my backyard and I heard a noise. I looked into the garbage pail and saw a squirrel waist deep in water. I took pity, ran inside, got some plastic gloves, and reached in to rescue the forsaken animal. It went well until he was an inch from the ground I was lowering him too- then he bit me.

I can now say that that was the worst pain I have felt in a while- like my finger was trapped in a door or a clamp or something. I shook him off, ran inside yelling "A squirrel bit me!" and found that I had two small puncture oles on my finger and a scratch on my hand, only one hole was actually bleeding though.

The next few hours were spent at the emergency room. =_= I'd been home from Philidelphia less then an hour, and had already disrupted the entire day and caused a mass panic among my family and a few friends.

oops.

Of course, tipping the bin over never occured to me until five people asked me why I didn't do it. Oh well. Hopefully I won't be taking the medicine for forever. ^^"

But I may turn into a were- squirrel next full moon. >> <<

and EVERY single person  she told the story to said .... "why didn't you just  tip over the garbage pail?"

Fathom is showing West Side Story in theaters Nov 9th. Does anyone know if version they are showing is the same transfer with all the problems that have been discussed on line? Will it have the intermission tha it had in the original roadshow?

ADD INFO:

It says on their website:

This event presentation has been modified from its original 1961 release to fit the screen.

I wonder what they mean by that?

They'll probably cut off the top and bottom to make it more widescreen than it really should be. ::)

By the way, has anybody heard of some bandleader named Edmundo Ros?


I think he lives in Arizona.


Is that because he is a lesbian?

The Plangent Strains of Edmundo Ros was also a scintillating biography about Maestro Ros' life past 90.

Nice haul from Big Lots tonight: "Casablanca," "The Sting," "Breakfast at Tiffany's," "Cimmaron," and something called "Gumshoe" with Albert Finney.

"Breakfast" is in now, thanks to BK's recent notes on watching it again.

You seem to be getting better movie's at your Big Lots in your part of Kentucky than I'm getting in my part.

I was so confounded why Outside The Box was never showing up in any way, shape, or form in the search engine of You Tube, that I went to the discussion board and asked why.  Some really nice and helpful guy went to my channel and told me everything I'd done wrong.  For example, I'd just used the title that was actually on the video file for the trailer - teaser trailer.mov - that was problem one.  Also, when I created the channel I put all the words together - outsidetheboxseries - but I never gave the channel an actual title.  So, I went in and changed everything and now it should start showing up easily, at least that's the hope.  I put in a complete description, cast names, etc. so searching should now work whenever enough time goes by for it to show up.

Page Four Pwoject Wunway Finale Dance.....

I think the judges have already chosen Anya to win, so I will be very surprised if that is NOT the outcome.....as a big a robbery as last year's win by Gretchen.



Pwoject Wunway SPOILERS





SPOILERS



I'm not thinking that the Anya win robbed anyone.   I've actually liked Anya time after time.  Just when you think she hasn't a prayer in hell of finishing a challenge she turns out something stunning.  I think she had one misfire during the entire competition.  Viktor is incredible.  Kimberly is not a favorite and neither is Joshua M.  As for the runway show, Viktor outsmarted himself and introduced new pieces, holding back something praised by the judges last week when he showed his three looks.  It was, as Heidi pointed out, two different collections neither of which complemented the other.   

Joshua's collection was really neat, but as usual, Joshua oversells the "innovation" of his designs (they're not that innovative, IMO) and oversells how "amazing" a look is when it seems just "okay" to me.  That, plus his raging ego that far exceeds his talent, has not endeared him to me at any point during the competition.  I like him no more than I liked Gretchen and he is equally obnoxious.

Kimberly had a nice collection, as well, but her aesthetic isn't mine.  I hated that top that won her a challenge...that gold metallic thing that Nina was so fond of and wore in a later segment of the show.  Nina didn't wear it well, either.  She looked misshapen to me.  Kimberly has turned out some great-looking clothes, though, and I thought her collection was pretty coherent.

I though Michael Kors' observations about Anya were convincing.  Anya has a distinctive, and aesthetically sophisticated, sense of style.  Of all four designers, I agree with them that she's the one most ready to launch a business.   Josh was a close second.  Frankly, though, he has been diverted by Tim from several disasters.  Josh will make it, I'm sure, as will most of the designers in the competition.

Anywho, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.  I figured if Anya could somehow work some magic with her collection that she'd stun everyone.  She stunned enough folks and I applaud her win.

She's extremely fortunate she's not getting treated for rabies with those painful shots.
