Should I watch Life of Pi or the new Eyetalian Blu and Ray of the extended Once Upon a Time in America, which contains a little over twenty minutes of new footage, making the running time four hours and twenty minutes, I think - something like that.  I think we know Mr. Leone was smart enough to know his film could and should never be that long.  He knew he was pushing it at the almost four-hour mark.  Not every scene shot is meant to be in a film.


Watch LIFE OF PI.  I am anxious to know what you think.

DR Jennifer it is called the Buddy system.  The lead person had a friend.......  She must have had some qualifications that made it more difficult to refuse her.  To really understand DR Cilla needs a transcript of the conversations. ;)

dr Jane, there is no transcript

TOD:


CD:

I am hooked on a new favorite singer by the name of Victor Turpin. He is from Columbia and now resides in Los Angeles. He is also a budding actor (he was the guy in that St. Patrick's Day clip I posted yesterday). I have been playing his CD everyday for the last week. He has the kind of deep singing voice that I love.





This guy must have had Vixmom do his website.  I tried reading his bio, and I couldn't understand one word!

 I am hurt - I thought it was one of my better efforts

Victor seemed to liek it

Nice photo DR JOHN G.

LOL DR GINNY - I think you should go to the party and make comments under your breath as the proceedings unfold.

Apparently, the party was today and one of my FB friends posted a photo.  I was not invited...

I was told by one of my former co-workers that no former employees were invited to the lunch -- and that included me.

Were you planning on going?

I was thinking about it.

Had a great time tonight. Justing Kisor trio, lots of friend, some good food and a couple beers.  Just what the doctor ordered.  Tomorrow I have two parties.  One in the afternoon, one in the evening.  I've got to get my shopping done on Sunday!

sometimes it is also because the people granting the job think they know better than the applicant what the applicant's true desires are. The fact that they keep mentioning higher judge ships makes me think that they found our dear Cilla to be "over qualified" for the job and that she would be bored and leave the position for a better one after  a short time leaving them the chore to replace her


In other words - our Cilla was too damn good for them!!

DR Jennifer, the commission interviewed 16 people and nominated three of them.  That was the group that had me as number one.  The judges selected the person who got the job.  That's where I didn't come in first.   

Thanks everyone for your support, but I think we can stop talking about it now

Back from Costco, on my first-ever run for K-Cups!  (Kirkland brand, breakfast blend, $38 for 100 -- a real bargain compared to the little 12-packs I've seen in other stores.)
  WOW!!!  That is a great price --  I have not seen those yet -  I have been happy paying $36.99 for 80 Donut House brand cups but your deal sounds much better!  Please let me know how they taste!

Catching up with the 2012 Michael Buble special.  The Bing Crosby duet is a strange use of technology.  It could have used more of a laugh track.  It makes Bing Crosby seem as if he's not a nice person.



According to his kids he wasn't

Did a stupid thing tonight. Lost my work badge. I was unloading books in the car and I remember it getting in the way. The next thing I knew, the badge was gone. I drove back and looked around but couldn't find it. I think it's $100 to get it replaced, plus it'll be a headache trying to get on campus Monday morning.  >:(

It may have gotten caught by the books -  did you check  to see if it is stuck in one of them?

Another downer: We ordered another case of books with two-day delivery and, two days later, the books didn't arrive. And we have a signing tomorrow with only about one case of books. Given the response this one is getting, I think we could have been able to sell an extra half case tomorrow. I've sold many this past week to people wanting last-minute gifts, and that's what several have mentioned they were planning to do tomorrow.



I could sign my copy and send it back to you

SOOOOOO

 I ordered an Amazon  gift card in a snowflake tin with free next day delivery from Amazon on Sunday

it did not arrive Monday  OR Tuesday

I checked ordered status on Tuesday night and found my order had been cancelled because they were out of snowflake tins

SOOOOO I ordered a gift card ina different kind of box  with free next day delivery -  it did not arrive -

 tonight I discovered that it was in the FEDEX facility on Long Island but was just not delivered -  I tried to get a human being on the phone for over an hour but I was continuously disconnected

 this was a gift for my SIL  and we are seeing them  Sunday so now I must see if I can get the card locally and I am going to ahrv an extra one  as I am sure I will not be able to return it --- this makes me  quite annoyed

I need BK over here to speak strongly to people ( assuming HE could actually get through to a human being)

I parked and went over to the marshall and asked what was happening 

"It's a car accident lady, you gotta turn around"

"It looks like its at my house  - is everyone OK?"

"What's your address?"

I told him --


"OK I'll move so you can go around me,   a lady lost control of  her car and  hit your fence.  The cop is still there you can get a police report"

So I  was let down the street  and was able to get into my driveway

The ambulance was just leaving and the flat bed truck was loading the car  - the whole front end of which was strewn across my street, my sidewalk,  my yard....

The fence is bent up and the grass has some deep gashes in it


When the last guy went through the fence (about 5 years ago) my Mom wanted me to replace the cyclone fence with pretty plastic  fence or wooden one -- since we had already had 2 other people through the fence before THAT I said nope -  cyclone keeps the cars OUT

Once again the fence prevented a car from being in my living room

Thanks for the nice thoughts. The badge is gone. I quadruple checked. Maybe somebody turned it in to a store in the plaza. Will check tomorrow, if I have time.


Until then, good night, all.

Hello, everyone.

Oh, dear. Close call, Vixmom. I'm glad none of you were hurt.

I hope the driver damaged something you didn't want anyway but will be reimbursed for just the same.
