So anyway!

Such wonderful news about the CD's - and the shipping. Perhaps that testy person will be pleased to get his music - at last!

Friday -at last. More rain here today, thanks, DENNIS!

CD: Pippin, working on choreography and got tired of asking the director what the set was going to be like, so I designed it myself and we'll build it after we strike tomorrow night. Much easier doing choreography when you know what the set will be! ALSO listening to Giselle MacKenzie, First Lady of Canadian Song.

DVD: The Adventurers! MR BK wrote about this movie a couple of weeks ago. Back in high school - Harold Robbins was scandalous to own and read - and while I like THE CARPETBAGGERS book and movie more - this is pretty good. Lots of location filming and a very handsome international leading man....but 170 minutes! I am about 1/3 of the way through it.

VCR: SWOON.

PS: am I the only one who things Kaysar is the most handsome man in BB history? He looks like a 1940s matinee idol.

Hmmmmm....this is a difficult question to answer.

Hardy was the most handsome man in BB history, IMHO (In My Humble Opinion, in internet-speak).

BUT....

There are times where I agree with your basic assessment of Kaysar. There are other times, however, where he seems to have the most horrific unibrow. (Especially those times when he is wearing glasses of some sort.)

And I am assuming that your being smitten with him is not indirectly related to your penchant for John Abraham and other hunks of Bollywood and other foreign derivation.

And where exactly do Kaysar and Michael live? West Hollywood? the Castro?

I got a nice long sleep that was much needed, but I wish I could go to bed and start all over again with sleep.

Surprisingly, I'm not sore at all this morning, but I remember (a Stephen Sondheim reference) that when I helped my friend eight months ago, the soreness didn't arrive until TWO days after I helped. So, we'll see if I get stiffer as the day progresses.

I haven't watched every season of BIG BROTHER so I can't offer an opinion of the handsomest, but I do remember Hardy from (?) Season 2. However, I grew less fond of him as a person as that season progressed so his looks sort of paled as I began to dislike the person he was becoming.

We have an overcast, sticky day here, but as long as I'm not unloading furniture, I don't care WHAT it's like outside!

Stage Door Canteen--yep, it's too long of a movie, but there are a lot of fun appearances: Gracie Fields, Helen Hayes, Xavier Cugat, Katherine Cornell (her only film!)

I kind of remember that the Hollywood USO film is more fun and looks better, too. Bette Davis sings "They're Either Too Young Or Too Old" and is just dandy.

No, you're remembering the wrong one, DR Dan. You're thinking about THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS where Davis sang "They're Either Too Young or Too Old" and Errol Flynn sang "That's What You Jolly Well Get" and Hattie McDaniel does "Ice Cold Katie." It's a great fun film.

But HOLLYWOOD CANTEEN, which Davis was in along with John Garfield, Joan Crawford, and many others, is a different film. "Don't Fence Me In" came from it.

Matt H. · « **Reply #38 on:** July 15, 2005, 08:08:12 AM »

I've got THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS on a laserdisc paired with IT'S A GREAT FEELING.

I only saw HOLLYWOOD CANTEEN once, I think. I don't think it gets run nearly as much.

DR Jennifer: Are you able to recall the relationships between the various teams on BB6? As they were going through them, there was a chryon crawl announcing severe weather, so I got to see the names of the pairs (and their faces, of course), but not the relationships.

Yes since I knew most of the pairings already it was pretty easy for me to follow:

1.Eric and Maggie. Friends (she works as an emergency room nurse and he is a firefighter.

2.Rachel and howie. Best friends (but they haven't seen each other in a few years).

3.beau and ivette. Friends (they are both gay apparently).

4.James and Sarah. Boyfriend and girlfriend.

5.Janelle and Ashlea. Former roomies and now best friends.

6.April and Jennifer. Sorority sisters.

7.Michael and Kaysar. Neighbors.

Elmore, Castrecl blows hot and cold. You can search the archives for the orchestration thread, though. It had some relatively intelligent discussion in it.

I splurged and got a new all-in-one printer/copier/scanner/faxer yesterday. All for $79.00!!! I remember my first printer about 10 or 15 years ago was close to $300.00. Why does everything else go up, but electronic items get cheaper? Can someone explain that to me, please?

Media: I'm listening to the Brasilian singer/songwriter Celso Fonseca, who sounds eerily like Caetano Veloso. We've been making our way through Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries on the DVD.

Jennifer · « **Reply #41 on:** July 15, 2005, 08:19:21 AM »

And yes DR MBarnum is right. I believe they said that Ivette and Beau used to work together.

I don't really find Kaysar that handsome. But I think I see what DR Stuart meant. Sometimes he can be sort of good looking. But sometimes he is a little weird looking. And I agree, I bet it's your Bollywood obcession sinking in! (although he's not indian).

JMK · « **Reply #42 on:** July 15, 2005, 08:23:40 AM »

MBarnum, I wasn't around much yesterday so maybe this was mentioned, but did you see that news report that some big Bollywood star has been arrested for being a terrorist? There was a thread about it on one of the Usenet film boards.

JMK · « **Reply #43 on:** July 15, 2005, 08:25:47 AM »

Re: The Adventurers. The movie is dreck, but the Antonio Carlos Jobim score is a classic, including the instrumental that he would later rework with a lovely lyric as his "other" late career biggie (along with Joey's discovery The Waters of March), Double Rainbow.

DR STuart (or any of the other BB watchers). Do you JUST watch the tv show, or do you follow it online also?

If you only do the former, let me recommend the canoe Jam site. It makes the show a 100 times more interesting.

This is the site (click on chat):

Based on the numerous sightings of Race observers around America, it appears that at least one of the fears that The Amazing Race fans voiced when CBS first announced its plans for a "family edition" that included children has come true -- the eighth edition of worldwide reality adventure competition has been dumbed down (at least geographically.)

I tend to just watch the show. Very rarely will I check into the official CBS website. You have mentioned the CanoeJam site before, and I have enjoyed what I have read, but I don't have time to check it all the time (what with HHW, and actual WORK!)

And thank you for the breakdown of the teams.

I just did a search and it is actor Sanjay Dutt who was accused of having links to terrorist activities in India...evidently this was back in the 1990s. His father is 1960s leading man Sunil Dutt (who just recently passed away) and 1950s actress Nargis.

He is a top Bollywood actor since the 1980s but has had his share of problems with drugs and booze.

No problem. The good thing about the CanoeJam site is that he is quite concise. Most of the other sites have logs of "live feeds" info. But at canoe he summarizes it. It doesn't take long to read at all. You'll be surprised how much more you enjoy the show if you read his stuff!

For example ALL the teams are starting to figure out that there are other secret teams. But if you just watch the show, you'd think nobody is really catching on!

Btw, did you hear Julie Chen mention something about how if the final 2 are a pair then the houseguests vote to say if they think they kept their secret.

Did anybody else hear that or am i going crazy?

No, but I had an excellent BM before leaving for work.

The drive was pleasant, I got a good parking space and the weather is beautiful.

I am off at Noon today. Just because.

No rushes, no worries, no hurries.

Thanks Ron, I figured out the one with terrorist ties (see my post above). The Salman Khan seems to be one with Indian Mafia ties....!

I don't care too much for him...and I never trust a guy who shaves their armpits!

Hmmm...okay, I think that I may have only seen a clip of Davis doing TETYOTO and thinking it was part of Hollywood Canteen. I don't believe I ever saw Thank Your Lucky Stars. Is that one on DVD?

...Here I come

And there I go...

Good Afternoon!

-If it's Friday, this must be Richmond.... No, NYC... No, Fairfax...

In any case...

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I've been errant & truant, and truant & errant - but not necessarily in that order - the past 24 hours or so. I think.

In any case...

I'm back up in Fairfax. I retrieved my "box-o-important-stuff" from my storage unit in Richmond. That was good. What was not good was not finding my final Mamma Mia! waiting for me in my mailbox down there - the check that was mailed last Friday. And since I can't seem to get a hold of the contractor.... Grrrr...

In any case...

I have to run around up here in NoVa for the next couple of hours - preparations for the trip northward tomorrow morning! So...

Laters...

I'm beginning to get the feeling that CDs won't be ready until this afternoon - maybe even late this afternoon. When I called twenty minutes ago, they said they thought one title was "almost" finished, but, of course, I cannot just pick up one title. So, hoping they can finish everything by early afternoon, otherwise my shipping guy will have to get them when they're ready, pack everything up, but take it to the post office tomorrow. We shall see.
