I remember the streaker!

Who was sadly murdered in a art gallery robbery which he owned a few years later.

I did not know that

I have written Barnes and Noble a response to their morning email explaining how to retrieve books that don't show up. I mentioned my disappointment they didn't offer to refund the book. Since refunds aren't an option with them I might consider getting an iPad next time. I doubt telling them that will make a difference but I tried. I will probably never experience this problem again so it might not be an issue.

I order books using my wish list so everything on it is something I want to read even if I were to order a different book than I intended to. It reduces my chance of error and spending too much time searching for something to read.

I been reading articles about how the directors of Argo, Zero Dark Thirty, Les Miserables, Django Unchained were over looked for Best Director.

Well There are 9 (or is it 10) films nominated and only five slots for directors of course people will be looked over.

In the past where there was only 5 films usually 1 director of the best picture nominees was always over looked. And there was chatter about the overlooked helmer.

It was very rare that all five directors matched the five best pictures. The "odd director" out who got a nominations usually was the director of a foreign language film or at that time when a director could only be nomimated once but had two Best Picture nominees another director would sneek in.

I thought Ben Affleck did an amazing job of taking an event where we know the ending and making it so suspensful that many (including myself) wondered if I really remembered correctly what was going to happen. I actually heard a person behind me finally exhale after the ending was clear. I thought he deserved the nomination for Argo. He has been a total class act about not being nominated, though and that makes me like him even more

Can't wait for our partay to begin. Until then, let's keep some postin' goin' one.

I'm watching a Doctor Who special on BBC America. They've included a "classic episode" that the talking heads referenced...an episode with the first Doctor, Wiliam Harnell from 1964, "The Aztecs." They've gone back to the Aztec time and one of the companions, the guy (I forget his name) gives an Aztec warrior what looks like the Spock neck pinch and knocks him out! I wonder if Gene Roddenberry got the idea from this episode!

I agree completely. Ben has been very classy.

I was very moved by this story about the volunteers in Newtown taking the time to write thank you notes for the 175,000 cards and letters received. It will be awhile before they are dong.

I spent the afternoon watching Disney's CINDERELLA, which I decided do after watching SNOW WHITE last night. I really have no desire to watch the Oscars, so I'll watch another DVD.

Regarding the movie-to-stage musical adaptations, I remember a discussion awhile back of an "E.T.: The Musical" adaptation, but I can't remember the context. Turns out there is an "E.T." musical in a YA novel called "Better Nate Than Ever" about a kid who tries out for the show.

There's actually a demo of a "Star Wars" musical...and a couple of tracks from a different version written by Charles Strouse!
