This is a slow newsday at HHW. BK will not be pleased.

Summer of '76 - I remember it well. I was going into my sixth and seventh months in the womb.

The summer of '76 was the last year that my family lived in Colorado (my dad was to retire from the army the next year). It was not only the Bicentennial Celebration of the USA, it was also the Centennial Celebration of Colorado becoming a state. They had huge events everywhere and this one particular place that we went to had a big gigantic scroll where everyone who was there could sign. It (and other stuff, too, I asume) would be put into a time capsule on top of Pike's Peak and opened in 2076. I was 10 and my sister was 12. She decided that she wants to live to be 112 so that she can be there when they open it up. I don't think either of us will make it, but with medical technology advancing all the time, you never know.

Looks like it's about to rain in the Phila Del Phia. Weather will be hot and humid the next two days but next week is promising to be absolutely bee-yoot-tiffle. Which is nice since I'll be e & t'ing the entire week at the Jersey shore.

In my DVD player: THE MUPPET SHOW FIRST SEASON!!

In my VCR: a tape to tape tonight's "Battlestar Galactica" (just in case I forget about it)

In my CD player at work: I don't know yet. I'm not there. But possible contenders: the Japanese cast recording of Disney's Beauty and the Beast or "Everybody Step: Irving Berlin's Music Box Revues and Other Songs from 1921-1925." I also have some other stuff at work, so we'll see.

How freaky - I just saw a Bobby Darin concert on PBS last night! What a bizzarly ecclectic performer he was! He did gospel, jazz, lounge, R&B and impressions!

Marge Champion!!! I still enjoy her dance with Gower to the song "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" - so lovely. The last time I saw her was on the syndicated FAME playing a bigoted dance teacher who was put in her place by Debbie Allen (written by Debbie Allen and Directed by Debbie Allen with choreography by Debbie Allen) - and as Judy Garland once said about Ray Bolger: "Different music - same goddamn dance."

Glad your opening night went well, DR JOSE.

Congrats on the duck, DR SWW. Hope its name wasn't OTTO.

Friday at last.

VCR: WYATT EARP with Kevin Costner, hope to finish it sometime this weekend.
DVD: THE REAL JAMES DEAN in anticipation of the 50th anniversary of his death next month.
CD: NEW GUY IN TOWN by someone we know. Still have my favorites on this cd....and my absolute favorite is STILL "Love Look Away" with "Past My Prime" a close close close second!

Good morning, all.

Am taking today off. I busted butt Wednesday and yesterday finishing a project at work. I worked late Wednesday to ensure I'd be able to finish yesterday.

One final thank you to everyone for the kind expressions of solace over the parting of my feline companion. The hardest thing I've had to endure, thus far, was getting up yesterday morning and not having Vickie sitting by my bedroom door waiting impatiently for me to put out her fresh food.

I've had myself a few good bouts of total grief and am moving on.

Loved the waffle story, DRFJL.

DR GEORGE where is the Japanese Gaston?

Wow - Mifune would have made a great Gaston back in the 7 SAMURAI days.

DARLING - well DR JMK thinks it is NOT a masterpiece, I remember when he posted that. I can't go as far as to say it IS.....but I love the performances of Laurence Harvey, Dirk Bogarde, and Julie (AA winner) Christie. AND I love some of the lines....especially Bogarde to Christie: "I don't send whores home in taxis." And Christie to Harvey: "You do your best work in the bedroom, don't you?" Harvey's reply: "You underestimate me, darling. I'm also very good on the telephone."

"Big Brother 6" Spoilage:

Last night's twist was neat. I loved everything that happened. The MAIN thing is for either Rachel or Howie to win the next HOH competition. If they don't, it's over...except for the shouting.

One thought: If either Rachel or Howie represents Janelle in veto competition and wins, they should consider saving Jennifer and replacing her with James. That way, they force "the disciples" to finally vote James off. I know it's tempting to ignore James, but he must go. Remember Will Kirby!!! Everyone thought Will was insurance and that no one would vote for him if he was standing at the end. But he won.

I pray Rachel or Howie wins the next HOH and puts up April and Ivette (unless Jennifer is still there...I'd substitute Jenn for April...make April suffer in the house as long as possible, I would).

DR Elmore3003's comments yesterday (yes, I've caught up, too) about his get-together with some friends/workmates caught my eye:

Val, Tara, Tyleen and Tiffany sound like great character names for a musical comedy.

I also loved, loved loved everything about last night (except kaysar going). But i disagree that they should vote out james. I really think they need to keep him and try to use him right now.

But who would you vote off between maggie and jen?

Summer of '76 - DR elmore and I (along with some other lovely folks) put in some very long hours making costumes for our community theatre group to wear on a bicentennial parade float entitled "200 Years of American Theatre." I wore a bustle.

Damn! Damn! Damn! Several weeks ago I sent DRGinny as a lark the CD of the dreadful MARIE CHRISTINE, and now Paypal think her address is my primary one. As a result, I believe everything I purchased around 4 hours ago is being sent to her home in Ohio!

This day has been such crap and it's not nearly over. I want to kick ass and kill. I want to throw things and break windows. I am not happy.

FJL · « **Reply #59 on:** August 19, 2005, 10:27:27 AM »

It's not exactly a waffle reference, but has anyone else tried Haagen Dazs' Caramel Cone ice cream? It's not soft-serve unless you melt it a little, but I bet it would go really great on a waffle.
