Happy Birthday, Jeanne!

So instead of doing the BRAT diet I did the BRA diet. I couldn't stomach the thought of dry toast. So I had a banana, some white rice and some applesauce. That combo could put me off food forever. If I feel hungry later I may go attempt poached eggs again, or perhaps even a sandwich of some sort - no meat, though.

Anne Meara has died. Sadly, she's identified as Ben Stiller's mother instead of for being a great comedian.

How sad. Well, us older folks think of Ben as the son of this talented actress.

How are you celebrating, DR Jeanne?

Rather quietly. I generally take Sundays as a sort of "me" day, which I cherish. That includes dinner out. I don't care for birthday cake, but happened across some cake slices recently that looked really good and bought a small slice. It really was good. A friend picked up some apple streudel for me at Costco, too. I have plans with a few friends for birthday meals, but they are all out of town or not feeling good, so we'll do those things over the coming weeks. I rather like the idea of a birthday month, not a birthday day, and have been treating myself to a few little things over the past few weeks.

Sounds good.

Today, while I was deciding which washer and dryer to purchase, Keith found a new mattress for our aching bodies.

THE ARTIST is on CoziTV now. I missed the first part, but having seen it several times before, had no problem getting into the movie. I know that there was controversy because the composer stole a section from Herrmann's "Vertigo" score. I don't remember how that was all resolved, but as long as Herrmann received credit, the music does seem to fit, although it would have been preferable for the composer to have written an original theme. My memory is that it was explained away as homage, just as the entirety of the movie is homage. I think THE ARTIST is among the best of recent vintage movies, which is oversaturated with CGI effects movies, superhero movies, and comedies so vapid as to cause brain decay.

It was suggested to me by a neighbor who's had the same thing that IF I'm still queasy today that I do the BRAT diet - bananas, rice, applesauce and toast. The thought of that, however, already makes me want to vomit on the ground. What I'd really like to have is a meatless Cobb salad, but don't know if that's good or bad for me.

That sounds gross to me too. But definitely the rice and the toast. I would eat a lot of that.

Jane · « **Reply #130 on:** May 24, 2015, 08:07:47 PM »

Basmati and toast, both help settle my stomach. Bananas can upset it,as can apples. Applesauce is easier and might be refreshing if only for a few bites.

Jane Russell would approve, cross my heart!

The Artist had the Herrmann music tracked in during editing - from what I've read, the composer either ran out of time and didn't deliver the piece in time (his original version of that cue is on the CD), or the director just loved the Herrmann more. It's credited in the film.

BK, I'm sure you know about this (you MUST know about it, right?), but I didn't till just now...

"Wilshire Blvd Miracle Mile December 1967 (From Producers Library stock footage)"

I don't even know where to begin in commenting on what I see here. And oh, were it only in HD!...

bk · « **Reply #134 on:** May 24, 2015, 08:39:18 PM »

Not sure what to do about more food - I've had the rice, one banana, and a scoop of apple sauce - not enough, but I really don't want more banana, applesauce or rice. What to do? Maybe eggs again? Dare I try a cheese omelet?

bk · « **Reply #135 on:** May 24, 2015, 08:45:14 PM »

Wish one could actually tell what was playing at the Four Star and the El Rey but too blurry. What's so wonderful is the nightlife that's no non-existent there. All those people walking and taking the night, and stores and restaurants where you actually entered ON Wilshire rather than in the back (I think Adray's was the first store on the Miracle Mile that refused to open onto Wilshire). There was Du-Par's, formerly my father's restaurant, and Coulter's had become the Broadway.

Yes! The night life, indeed. I've watched three times, and it's yielding more treasure each time.

I didn't even catch the Ontra Cafeteria till my third viewing.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #138 on:** May 24, 2015, 08:57:28 PM »

And those stores and restaurants -- you'd WANT to enter. Such beautiful designs, and signage...

NO CHEESE!""!

What about scrambled eggs on toast?

Thanks. Could understand wanting to keep Herrmann in. He can be a tough act to follow.
