No new DVDs to watch. I might be forced to watch something from my 4000+ DVD collection.

Friday morning greetings! Today I'm taking lunch to Mom and getting myself ready for an overnight trip (Saturday-Sunday) to Columbus for the AAUW state convention.

I somehow got kicked off the Kritzerland e-blast list a long, long ago. There is no place on the website to sign up for it again, that I can find.

He's onto to us!

DR JANE, I am sure your aunt & cousins will understand.

What a deal!

I am now a Kritzer Funder - and Happy Birthday to Kritzerland!

Thanks to all for the vibes and thoughts.

We had a GREAT audience last night, and they were laughing at all the jokes.....even the jokes in the lyrics.....and the songs all got nice applause.

I got some good laughs in my first two appearances.....and by the time I came back at the end of the show and announced that I was an undercover FBI agent, they fell out of their chairs! I could not have asked for better laughs.

AND I received applause on my egress.....which means they liked me OR they were glad to see me go.

All in all a most satisfying evening. All the kids were so excited to get the reactions they got.....and the director, composer-lyricist, and writer were very pleased....

ONE MORE NIGHT!

OMG LOOK AT THIS WE ARE SOLD OUT FOR TONIGHT!

My cousins will be fine. I feel bad about not being there for my aunt though I know she will have plenty of people to be there for her.

The new Kritzerland ELITE Collection sounds especially exciting!

I've seen ZARDOZ many times and am completely fascinated and frustrated by it at the same time. John Boorman, a talented film maker, has so many ideas in it, maybe too many. There's a lot of early 1970s weirdness which can be fun if you're a fan of the late American International Pictures-Roger Corman non-Poe films. The one I'm thinking of is Gas-s-s-s which shares some of the same sensibilities although on a much more modest budget. Besides the lush Irish countryside, for fans of Sean Connery, you see him in essentially a loincloth for almost the entire picture, during the time he had just completed his swan song for the Broccoli Bond films (I don't count the 1980s remake of Thunderball).

I wish I could afford the new issue of the movie as I have had a copy ever since the late 1970s when I first saw the movie on a late Saturday showing on independent NYC television. Even though the trimming for TV didn't help, it still made me a fan. I've shown the movie to friends and it is definitely a movie that is one that you really like or really can't stand, no middle ground. You just have to sign on for the ride and let it be what it is. Not sure what that is, but I for one like it.

Something I didn't consider when I made the appointment for my annual eye exam:

IF this is one in which he wants to dilate my eyes (and I'm pretty sure it will be -- or maybe they all are, I don't remember), doing so might not be such a good idea when I'm playing a show tonight. But that's silly, right? There will be eight hours from drops to downbeat, so there's no way I'd still be feeling any residual effects from it then. Right? Am I right, sir? Am I right?

Everyone is different, of course, but I just had my eyes dilated a few weeks ago and the effects only lasted a couple of hours. For others, it might last longer.

As it happens, no dilation because I opted for the fancy schmancy retinal picture they can take now. So, just a little numbness left over from the glaucoma pressure test. (Which I passed!)

George · « **Reply #48 on:** May 01, 2015, 09:57:23 AM »

Last night, I went to see "Avengers: Age of Ultron." I think the movie is what you'd expect from a Marvel movie...lots of action, bits of humor and a story line that actually makes sense. The visuals are stunning. If you've never seen an Avengers or Marvel movie and are interested, DO NOT start with this one. You will be completely lost. But if you're familiar with the Marvel universe, I'm sure that you'll enjoy it.

The best part was the theater. This particular place has reserved seats and they are all recliners! I'd never heard of this and it was so cool! There was plenty of room and you got to recline at the movie theater. I'll see later if the couple of pictures that I took turned out and post them. It was dark, but they might turn out. Well, I now have to leave home and go to work.

Be back in a bit.

Did they offer you an 8x10 or a set of wallet-sized?

I should ask about this new test when we find a new eye doctor.

The pictures of the movie theater and the recliners that I took on my eight-year-old flip phone are too dark. But it was still really cool!

Next time (and there will be a next time), I'll make sure that I get better pictures.

I've been up since ten, dealing with a lot of stuff. Campaign is moving along so far - even though it went up at midnight no one really saw it until this morning.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #55 on:** May 01, 2015, 11:56:26 AM »

Thanks DR GEORGE.

I saw ZARDOZ at the drive as part of a double feature with a movie that could have been EXCALIBUR.....I am not sure.

I didn't quite understand it, but perhaps it is now time to view it again. Some of it, especially the animation, seemed a bit Monty Python-esque to me.

Back from some lunch - a cup of chili and a ham and Swiss on rye. Then picked up packages - books are in and will ship out this weekend.

Many thanks to those who've done the Indiegogo thing - much appreciated.
