Good Evening!

So...

I went to Mass with my parents. January is a Holy Day of Obligation for Catholics, Feast of the Holy Family... No... Wait, I just checked. It's not "Mary, Mother of God" day. Hmm... I wonder when that happened? In any case...

The choir director at their church really likes wind chimes.

Hello, I'm back. I did Round Two of my cleaning, then did a grocery run. Now I'm in for the night.

RE: the US Girl with The Dragon Tattoo movie. How was the violence compared to the Swedish version? I enjoyed those movies a lot. But I really found it too violent for my taste. I see the movie in the US is rated 13. So i'm guessing it's not as violent?

So do I! But I only use them for characters who are off the deep end.

I can't recall any particularly memorable NYEs. I, too, am in the what's-the-big-deal camp--always have been. Plus, I don't enjoy drinking and don't want the company of the inebriated.

After church, my parents stopped off at a gas station to buy some more lottery tickets, and we also picked up some of tonight's dinner at their favorite Chinese place. The rest of the meal was composed of some lobster bisque and salmon filets that my father had bought at CostCo.

And I've shredded a shoebox and a half of old bills and papers from 2003-04. I think I'll go through just one more box before calling it quits for the night, well, for the year.

Good for you, Jose! I have plenty of that awaiting me. But that's another day.

I'm going to watch Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin tonight (i'm assuming they are on tonight).

Alas, there's 12 more boxes to go... And I really thought the whole project was going to take an hour or so. Ah, well. However, one box is filled with old computer disks - the 3-1/2 kind. That one can go right into the dumpster.

DR Jeanne - ...And then there are the storage boxes of old papers in my storage unit in NYC, so... But progress is progress, I guess.

Happy New Year to all you beautiful people on this here site!

My most memorable... probably 2 years ago in Times Square. Greg came in on a train at almost 11PM so we didn't have a chance to see the actual ball drop, but to be in the midst of all those people, in the snow, was still mighty great!

Hello, DR edisaurus! Happy New Year to you and your ever-lovin' Greg!

I find that tossing is very, very time-consuming. You must look at every item, even if you KNOW 90% will be tossed. The question is: WHICH 90%?! I tend to keep too much, but how do you know what you'll need?

TOD - 29 years ago Richard and I were in NYC from Christmas Day to New Year's Day. On New Year's Eve, we saw EVITA on Broadway (starring Karen Akers) and just before midnight we went out in front of our 7th Ave. hotel, a few blocks north of Times Square. We could see the ball drop, but we weren't in the huge crush of people.

Ginny, are you sure you didn't see Lonit Ackerman instead of Karen Akers? I don't think that Karen Akers made her Broadway debut until GRAND HOTEL.

Yes, DR TCB, I think you're right. Unfortunately, I no longer have the Playbills from the 8 shows we saw in 7 days on that trip.

I'd say it was Loni Ackerman too.

Unless you happened to be seeing Nine, but that didn't arrive on Broadway until the May of 1992.

*And I have to say the "thought" of Karen Akers belting out those high-G's in "A New Argentina", well... That's quite a thought!

It's usually pretty quiet for us - a movie and carry-in Chinese food and home well before midnight. This year, because we wanted to see the Liberty Bowl, we went out yesterday. Having a 5:30 wake-up tomorrow, I may not even see the entrance of 2012.

I wonder what ever happened to Terri Klausner, who played Eva at all of the matinees of VELVITA on Broadway?

Terri is still singing. She had a one-woman show off-Broadway a few years ago, and she's also directing now.

I think so. I know it's CNN.

Jennifer · « **Reply #146 on:** December 31, 2011, 06:06:59 PM »

It's not posted in my tv, so i wasn't positive they were still going to be on. When i look at the cnn site they have tons of news. So much that i couldn't even find a schedule guide (like most websites have). Anyhow it did say "kathy and anderson". But i didn't see any details. Hopefully they will be very funny. Could use a laugh.

Just one last plug before 2011 ends - if anyone knows any MARYs who might be looking for a theme song

I've given a lot of thought about whether to put up the new episode tomorrow and my thinking is that no one will be here to see it - everyone will be off doing things, so I'm thinking Monday's the day, if not Tuesday.
