TWO!

[KevinH]

Break legs, BK and co.!

[KevinH]

Will be leaving soon for the screening of "The Guilt Trip."

[Druxy]

I just completed a new trailer for the audio version of ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD: From the Secret Files of Harry Pennypacker.

I think it's fun.  Enjoy!

I'm up - I think I got at least eight hours so that's good.

[bk]

There is no way to watch Sundays and Cybele and appreciate it without seeing it in its original scope ratio.  But I don't think it's ever been on regular TV. 

[Ron Pulliam]

Happy December 2, everyone!

If there is anyone who missed out on the Broadway Cares Angela Lansbury/"Mame" holiday ornament (the first in a series that includes Carol Channing as Dolly, Chita Rivera as Charity and Bernadette Peters as Dot), they have yielded to popular demand and had the ornament reproduced.  The cost is $60 (the same price they charge for each new edition).  But, it's a unique series that, if you're like me and had all but the first one, you'll want to be complete.

Watched two movies last night.

On Blu ray, "DeathTrap" which was far more enjoyable than when I suffered through it in a theater.  It's still flawed, of course, but it's interesting to watch Christopher Reeve work post-"Superman".

Very fun Johnny Mandel score (that never saw a release on LP or CD).

Then I watched the Warner Archives issue of the made-for-TV "Dress Gray".  Still riveting.  Excellent quality DVD.  Very atmospheric and chilling score by Bill Goldenberg.

[Ron Pulliam]

In keeping with the theme of the day...

Twitch-a-dee-doo-dah, twitch-a-dee-ay
My, oh my what a wonderful day!
Plenty of sunshine heading my way
Twitch-a-dee-doo-dah, twitch-a-dee-ay!

So it must be the other thing I am thinking about....

From DR Vixmom:

I am borrowing the Vixter's  laptop  I find it too difficult trying to type on the Nook

My new Nook HD is much easier but not as easy as a computer.

[Jane]

From DR Vixmom:

STILL have this stupid head cold thing --- was on antibiotics all week to no avail

You should not be taking antibiotics for a cold!!!!!  I hope it was more than that and they were truly needed.

GET WELL VIBES!

I also recommend the BC/EFA series of "Carols for a Cure," if you like carols. Some years are better than other, but there are real gems, such as Antonio Banderas singing "Los Peces en el Rio" and Bernadette Peters singing "White Christmas." This year's features the cast of the never-to-open "Rebecca."

From DR TCB:

I drove my car today for the first time in 11 months.

But I stopped and bought myself a mocha and then drove to the Rite Aid to pick up my prescription, which was the main reason for the drive.  Then I drove home, parked the car, and then got myself back into my apartment with no problem.

A little independence, CONGRATULATIONS!!

[Jane]

From DR George:

TMI...I know.

LOL, no.  You did the right thing which doesn't surprise me.

[Jane]

Good morning. My DH had to remind me that today is Sunday. I thought it was Monday.

That is because you were at church yesterday.

[Jane]

Okay, one more slice of sourdough toast.  But that's it.  I swear it.  Really.  It's not a problem.  I can stop any time. 

When we lived in Pennsylvania Keith worked with someone that lived in San Francisco.  He would take us unbaked sour dough loaves that could also be kept in the freezer until I was ready to bake them.  They were delicious.  When we moved to Tiburon (outside of SF) I could not find any unbaked loaves.  Of course I could find plenty of fresh baked loaves to purchase to take home.

[Jane]

The alarm rang at 7:15, and I thought, ugh - another hour, please. The next thing I knew, it was 9:45. 

Good, you needed it!

CONTINUED FEEL BETTER VIBES!!

[Jane]

Tuesday I will be excused for the morning as I go to the dentist to finish my implant (or so they say).

That should feel satisfying.

The new version of iTunes is completely irritating.  Everything is different now.  The playlists, which were ALWAYS viewable all the time on the left are gone - you have to click "playlists" now to see them.  Stupid.  Making an mp3 from a WAV or AIFF file - used to click on Advanced and "make mp3" - not anymore.  Now you have to go to
File and Create New Version and then you select - so extra work and completely stupid.

Agreed. Another example of something which worked perfectly fine being ruined by the constant need to change things.

[Doug R]

I have never seen Sundays and Cybele ....

I don't think I've ever seen it either but I've added it to my DVD rental list.

[Jane]

Has anyone read FATHERS AND SONS by Ivan Turgenev?  I'm shocked that I'm finding this boring.

[Laura]

Indeed.

It was not my favorite. I found the main character too irritating. Don't remember much else about the book.

[John G.]

Loving this BBC "Pickwick Papers." Very droll, and I love the way the Pickwick visually reminds me of Mr. Toad in "Wind in the Willows."

Page two?  Two pages?

It's the holiday season - let's get some posting going on, shall we?

Or there will be hell toupee.
