Last night I went to happy hour to see a friend play his bass. It was the coolest thing. I knew almost everyone there! They weren't all together, several different groups of people, but somehow I had a connection to all of them. I had a really good time. Maybe a little too good and maybe that's why I'm not in a big rush to go out

And I have to leave first thing in the morning to go visit my parents. Dad has a bad cold so I'm just going to their house. Mom and Dad are skipping church because the are in the choir and the choir doesn't sing, so they figure they don't have to go lol

So we're on page 5 and I still don't know what I'm going to do tonight

Cillaliz · « **Reply #123 on:** April 20, 2013, 04:24:34 PM »

Oh, I forgot the Shrine Circus, I could do that

Cillaliz · « **Reply #124 on:** April 20, 2013, 04:35:24 PM »

Or I could do the dishes, make dinner and come back to my recliner

Hmmm where is everyone...

I'm deciding whether to paint the room I haven't finishied "twin falls" or "watery". One is bluer and one is more tourquoise. I've painted samples on the wall and will look at them in different light. I'm leaning toward watery

Cillaliz · « **Reply #128 on:** April 20, 2013, 04:38:28 PM »

Coulldn't they come up with a better name than "Watery"?

Cillaliz · « **Reply #129 on:** April 20, 2013, 04:38:52 PM »

They say not deciding is actually a decision....I'm not sure about that

Cillaliz · « **Reply #130 on:** April 20, 2013, 04:39:54 PM »

Well, I seem to be talking to myself. It's too late for Jurassic Park. so one decision made

I am going to watch the 8:00-9:00 Britcoms on Channel 13, take a long hot bath, and then finish watching MIRROR MIRROR. It's very funny.

Saturday evening greetings from the west side of Lima, OH! Richard and I arrived here about an hour ago by way of Indianapolis where we went to a funeral (not the same one DR JRand attended). Ours was for my "Uncle" Howard, who wasn't really my uncle but the husband of my mother's cousin Mary Louise. When I was little we called them Aunt and Uncle and it took me years to sort out our real relationship. Anyway, Howard died this past week after 11 years of widowerhood and I felt there should be someone from my mother's family there. She wasn't up to the trip and my sister is too far away. I'm glad we were there, but I realized that the only family I have left in Indianapolis are some distant cousins.

And, in case you're wondering, traveling from Middletown, OH, to Lima, OH, by way of Indianapolis, IN, is kind of the long way around...

I almost went to the concert, but I really didn't feel like going alone. I'm not upset with Paul about it. I really could have gone as I go to many things alone. I'm happy being at home watching My Cat From Hell

Laura · « **Reply #135 on:** April 20, 2013, 07:00:11 PM »

I like to be at home at night, Cillaliz. I hardly ever go out in the evening any more.

Back from West Side Story and dinner. This is the first dinner I've had for two months that I would consider large, but I still think I'm okay with the jog I did. I had pasta with blackened chicken in a light pink sauce - they assured me that most of the pink was marinara with only a touch of cream. A touch of cream isn't going to hurt anyone, calorie-wise and I think the pasta itself was around five ounces and that's not too bad,

Good evening.

Another long day, but a nice Saturday overall. Been running around all day, though, and am ready to settle down.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #138 on:** April 20, 2013, 07:29:43 PM »

I, too, wish I had an IHOP nearby -- though, to be sure, it's probably a very good thing for me that there isn't one.

Closest one I know of is in Darien, CT, I think. That's a good 45 minutes away, minimum. White Plains, too, and that's even farther. However, both of these (at least last time I saw either of them) are the original A-frame buildings. I really love those. When I go to something like an IHOP, I want to be able to step into the past, damn it. Of course I go into the contemporary ones (that look like every other damned restaurant) when in Ohio, etc., but I like me my original International Houses of Pancakes.

I went to an iHop last year - hadn't been in thirty years - it was okay.

Got a tip that yet another FYE store is closing (they've been closing for years!), and sadly, it's the one that has been absolutely the best for me when it comes to finding great secondhand (sometimes firsthand) copies of things like out-of-print Criterions, at prices usually better than online. So I schlepped down there (to Port Chester, NY, near Rye) for my last visit, and at least came home with a dozen nice finds. The last finds. The store is already half emptied out.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #141 on:** April 20, 2013, 07:40:05 PM »

By the way, for anyone who doesn't know, let me clarify that FYE is actually a store to avoid -- except for the used goods segment. I do not know how they are still staying in business, in spite of their (annual?) store closings. Highest prices in the universe. But they must somehow sell a lot of stuff, and the kids seem to love them.

DR John G, I could not do your job. Of course, there are many jobs I could not do. But I wouldn't want to even try to be a food critic.

OH I would like to try being a food critic. I would be lousy at it but I sure would like to try - but FIRST I would like to be a theatre critic or maybe simultaneously

Being paid to eat out and go to the theatre sounds like a little bit of heaven to me!

It would be more fun to be a food or theatre columnist where you write about it AND GET IN FREE but don;t have to critique it, so you don;t have people upset at you.

Tonight the Vixfamily went to Jurassic Park 3D- we just realized the movie came out the year she was born so of course she had never seen it on the big screen

It was quite fun

Cilla - Sorry didn;t realize I was signed in before when you were here. I must have been in the kitchen

Iy's very interesting. I called the Talkin Broadway / Miner Miracles business number earlier , expecting of course to get the machine, and actually got Ann Miner's husband. i thought I'd be leaving a message on the Miner Miracles business line. (That's Ann'e design company.) What's so odd is that Ann's husband really has not an iota of a clue that this suit by Connecticut against his wife's company is a serious civil rights related matter at all, he seemed to think it;'s just some silly trifling nonsense matter, at least that's what i gathered from the tone of the conversation, however brief. Unless that's just the air he's putting on.

Re the kaftan theme:

Didn;t Pia Lindstrom say Yul Brynner was using HOME SWEET HOMER as "an excuse for modeling kaftans" ?

And didn;t Yul then call Pia Lindstrom "the unfortunate offspring of the divine Ingrid Bergman, who said I used the show to model kaftans"?
