Continued vacation fun vibes to the FAMILY VIX.

Congrats DR CILLA LIZ - isn't winning fun? I'm like you, I win a bit - I walk away! But we don't have a casino nearby.....all of my winnings have been on scratch off cards....I won $1000 in the last 18 months or so.

Wow! That's great. The casino is right downtown, about 4-5 blocks from my office. This is really the second time I've ever played the penny slots. Other 3 or 4 times I put in about 5 dollars and lost it in 5 minutes on a 25 cent machine and went home. I really just like to eat there

Congrats to Cilla on your penny slots win!

Good news about how vixmom's trip is going!

The biggest one-time slot haul for me was at a little place across from the Riviera in Las Vegas, on the nickel slots. About $35.

if I recall correctly.

And it was all in nickels falling out of the old-style machine. Endless nickels.

Gracie Gold is skating to "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" from Phantom of the Opera.

I am doing this from my iPhone as my internet is down.

DR Jane in case my answer to your question didn't go through. The answer is yes, but you don't need the #3105 anymore.

BK
The commentary you're doing for The Fantastiks will they have both versions of the film? I think I may have missed your answer.

It's all electronic now. Would be more fun to hear the coins clinking out

Although I can't imagine how I would have picked up that many pennies

FJL · « **Reply #101 on:** January 24, 2015, 08:07:48 PM »

People from the establishment came by to help, and of course counted the nickels and cheerfully exchanged it all for paper money.

My mom liked that place across from the Riviera.

And it was the only one-dollar black jack place we could find in the main Strip area.

Yes, both cuts of The Fantasticks - we'll probably do the commentary on the theatrical release.

bk · « **Reply #104 on:** January 24, 2015, 08:19:28 PM »

When I came home I wrote the rest of the commentary save for the final thing, which I'll do before the night is over. Then Sami and mom came by. We went for our celebration dinner first to Casa Vega, very good as always.

Then we came back and did some work here. I played her the new song, which she absolutely loved (it's about a compulsive snacker).

bk · « **Reply #106 on:** January 24, 2015, 08:21:19 PM »

Then we read through all the monologues - I'd adjusted some from last time and all of it played really well. She's starting to get used to the rhythm in which I write, which is key. Mom and I laughed out loud several times. When it came time for a song, she sang it. This is turning into much more than I originally envisioned, and that's a good thing.

bk · « **Reply #107 on:** January 24, 2015, 08:22:00 PM »

Then before she left I let her have a tiny little preview of something I started writing today - a song about a frazzled girl going to prom.

bk · « **Reply #108 on:** January 24, 2015, 08:22:40 PM »

Now I think I'll go watch a little something. I so wish I could just sleep in tomorrow, but must be up by nine-thirty to go judge the singing contest.

Now you just put whatever denomination dollar bills you want to into the slot machine and play and then it prints a card when you cash out. You put that card in another machine and get your money. But it works.

Is anyone watching Grantchester? It's on after Downton. It's a Masterpiece Mystery. I recorded it and just watched the first episode. I like it!

If you were only going to go see one of the Oscar nominated films, what would you go to?

bk · « **Reply #112 on:** January 24, 2015, 10:22:46 PM »

I enjoyed several this year - if I had to choose one I'd say The Imitation Game or The Theory of Everything.

bk · « **Reply #113 on:** January 24, 2015, 10:23:10 PM »

Where in tarnation IS everyone? You'd think it was a Saturday night or something.

Bitch-slapping from here to eternity and hell and back will soon be the order of the day.

That makes it sound like it's going to be a required purchase!

I still want to see both of these.

Guess I should write some notes while someone gives us a much-needed frenzy or nine.

George · « **Reply #119 on:** January 24, 2015, 11:46:23 PM »

I just watched "The Perils of Pauline" with Betty Hutton and John Lund. I'd never watched this all the way through. It was fun!
