PAGE FIVE, AT LONG LAST!

[Freddie]

This made me think of Sondheim's "The Boy From"...

LOL!

[Freddie]

Much more than the letter "Q."

Or getting stuck with a Q at the end of Scrabble

[Jane]

Starting The Boys in the Boat.

The film vs the book?

If you can find an I, you can make QI.

That word could come in handy!

When my family plays Scrabble®, we have our own house rules:  everyone gets a printout of all the two-letter words, and you can look up words at any time to see if the word you're thinking of is a real word.  No one challenges the validity of words because we can confirm that they're real.

  The film vs the book?

The film.

[singdaw]

I was glad I didn't know the story beforehand.

[singdaw]

The film wasn't Chariots of Fire, but it wasn't too bad.

No glasses call. No call about hardcover, however, I got an email from the shipper saying it will be here tomorrow.

Had a Stanley's salad for food - Amy's Grapefruit salad: butter lettuce, shredded chicken, sesame seeds, cashew nuts, and avocado. Same dressing as the Chinese chicken salad - very good. Later, did a Gelson's run for she of the Evil Eye was out of a few things - I got some fresh chicken noodle soup for a snack, came home and ate it - very good.

LOL, great idea.

The book was wonderful.  I'll let you know if I think the movie come close, when I eventually see it.

Yup.  We're not hardcore players.

My favorite two-letter Scrabble word is ai. It's a type of sloth.

Lightning and a little rain tonight. Most welcome for the plants.

I bought something too disgusting to pass up today and, well, disgusting is the appropriate word: Cheeseburger ridged potato chips. They taste mostly of mustard powder mixed with the choose from blue box mac and cheese with some sugar (sweet pickle? ketchup?)

[John G.]

The other limited edition flavor was pepperoni pizza roll ridged potato chips.

Now watching Story of Floating Weeds, a silent Japanese film from Yasujiro Ozu about an acting troupe on vacation. It's lovely and sweet and bittersweet. He would remake the movie 35 years or so later as simply Floating Weeds. Both films are in the box set.

[singdaw]

And how were they?       

[singdaw]

  The book was wonderful.  I'll let you know if I think the movie come close, when I eventually see it. 

Appreciated.

[John G.]

So, we have Hitchcock and the two versions of The Man Who Knew Too Much. And we have Ozu with two versions of Floating Weeds. Anybody else remake his own work?

[John G.]

And how were they?       

I didn't buy the pepperoni ones.

Right. Why use more letters, when two will do?

[singdaw]

One more.
