 Tom from Oz--pardon me while I ooooh  here. They are beautiful!  What are they?  Some kind of a parrot from the look of them.  

Do you feed them?

One Rosella and two male King Parrots. The female King Parrots (no not Queens) are emerald green. At times they are hand fed. We have also had cockatoos feeding here this morning.

Lucky you!  I wish I could feed the birds here but the lady next door has a million cats (I think I am under counting there).  I don't think it would be fair to lure them with birdseed so the cats could get them.  :( :(

I'm running in and out of the house to watch the lunar eclipse!  We've got a lot of cloud cover so it's making it hard to see.

I shall be attending a performance of the Pasadena Symphony this evening.  The program includes:

Brahms--Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor, op. 15
Vaughan Williams--Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis
Britten--Variations and Fugue on a Theme of Purcell, op. 34

(When narrated, the latter piece is also known as "The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra.")

Jorge Mester conducts and Dubravka Tomsic (unknown to me) will be the soloist in the concerto.

I feel a touch hypocritical posting photographs but at least we are not inundated today.
The next will be for DR TCB as I know he likes quantity as well as quality

Jennifer, are you saying if we click on boo it will reduce the number of Karma points?

Tom from Oz, if those beautiful birds are in your back yard, I’m on my way.

I am glad you are all having so much fun mocking your friends from the great Northwest.  We, who gave the world, Bing Crosby, Dorothy Provine, and Brendan Fraser?

And you, Mr. Oz are in danger of losing your Washington State citizenship.

DR MDS,

Between customers and after some research I did find that Roman polanski was in a production of Waiting For Godot but as an actor only....

Here it is :

En attendant Godot (USA, 1988, 140 mins)
Visual Press, "Beckett Directs Beckett" series
Directed by: Walter Asmus
Cast: Roman Polanski, Rufus, Jean-François Balmer, Jean-Pierre Jorris

Less than three weeks until we have about 14 guests for Thanksgiving (all Ray's relatives) so we've started Operation Clean Apartment today.  We made a good dent but have a lot to do.  Since we have tickets for several plays and operas between now and then we have to take advantage of the time we have.

We did go to a movie --- a rare occurance --- last night to see Charles Busch in DIE MOMMIE DIE (not to be confused with Susan Gordon's PICTURE MOMMY DEAD).  Busch stars and may or may not have written it depending on if you believe the credits on the film which say he did or the poster in front which says they are legally required to say someone else wrote it.  The big surprise was in the end credits: Additional Music by Grant Geissman.  (BK - did you mention this and I missed it?)  The film was pure camp from start to finish and if you've ever seen a Bertte Davis, Joan Crawford or Susan Hayward film, don't miss this.  Unlike FAR FROM HEAVEN, another homage to the films of this ilk, DIE MOMMY DIE is both homage and spoof at the same time.

Would you believe a third try? These pesky birds area delight but very demanding.

Boy, Tom from Oz, you sure do have Disneyland's Enchanted Tiki Room, with its Birdmobile, right in your own backyard!

Another holiday not celebrated in OZ WEL. I guess convicts were not the same as Pilgrims. We do give Christmas a holiday - and no we don't all throw prawns etc on to the Barbeque.

Good grief, WEL, 14 for Thanksgiving?  You must have a huge apartment, or Ray must have very small relatives.

No, no, no.......... you Aussies are always getting it wrong.  It's shrimp on the barbee, not prawns on the barbecue.

Good early evening DRs.......

and Happy Saturday to esteemed BK.....

Just a short note at the moment, and then time to shave the punim!  DR Kerry and I are going for a short while to a "new kitchen celebration" being thrown by a couple of guys who live right here in our neighborhood.

For the TOTD:

Buster Keaton.......I'm not too familiar with what he directed, and what he didn't.  But he is in a silent comedy, where he basically puts together a "kit" house;  of course, things don't go well, and it is very well thought out comedy.

Frank Capra -- Pocketful Of Miracles.  I know, others are more successful, but this one has a long (and not with a happy ending) story associated with it for me.

Von Sternberg  --  Shanghai Express

Hitchcock  --  North By Northwest

and I'm sorry to say, I flunk the Preston Sturges department.

Well, I'm off to razor-land......UGH!!!   >:(  (whine)

TCB: Can you tell I don't eat shellfish? No not even lobster or clam. I would have lucked out in Carousel. I have been known to partake of seafood chowder but only if the alternative was asparagus or beetroot. And no I don't order kangaroo tail soup either. Which reminds me. When is Jose going to post his Joey pictures?

Are you sure that is the collective noun for posts BK? I thought it was a fence of posts.

I, in fact, had written a much lengthier post and had clicked "post" and got an error message, then when I went back I'd lost the whole damn post.  I cannot join the Mary fray for never, never will I Mary.  To me, they all sound the same - Mary, merry, airy, Carrie, fairy, dairy, hairy, carry, Larry, Sherry, nary, Perry, scary, wary, Barry

That's okay, Mr. Oz, but if we are going to continue to patronizingly stereotype you and your countrymen, then you have to, at least, say it correctly.

Merry as in berry
Mary was in wary
Marry as in carry.

Of course, if you pronounce all the second words the same way, we're back to square one.

Ahhhh!!!!!!  I DO pronounce them all the same!  :D  These last two days discussions have made me decide that the Northwestern US accent has to be the most boring of all.

What?  Not one single response from TFO -- or a sharp retort from ANYone -- about my "poop on the deck" post?

The one drawback to all that beauty is the copious amount of droppings they leave in their wake.

I know, I know, no one wants to go there!

But not even Bruce who has a fondness for copraphiliacal word play?

Copra!  Copracabana!
