I have to go buy more little envelopes to ship the Kevin CD in.  If the orders suddenly come pouring in I'm going to have to find a much cheaper place to get them than Staples.  There I'm paying about six bucks for twelve envelopes, which seems ridiculous on the face of it or even on the feet of it.
'

If you are going to be buying a "bulk" of envelopes, be sure to check to see that Staples is extending their "bulk" price to you.  Sometimes you have to ask for it, it won't automatically ring up when a certain amount of supplies gets scanned at the register.  I used to buy the supplies for the music store I worked at, and we always had to make sure we always got the corporate pricing.

Another girl in our office - carrot-stick's best friend, as a matter of fact - is from Richmond, VA, and is trying her best to be the best little northern liberal she can be. Everyone is a racist homophobic Bush-loving religious prude in her estimation if they're not "fabulously gay" or a drunk or if you live south of Staten Island.


From Richmond, VA, you say.. Hmm... I wonder if I know her?

I have not seen any trailers for that yet.  Who is directing it this time around?  \

Watch the Harry Potter Trailers Here

The director is Mike Newell (Young Indiana Jones, Four Weddings and a Funeral)

As for Prince, he must be older than Noah now.  He might not be able to hear very well!

JoseS must play EXTRA loud for him.

First of all, he's not that old.

:)

Secondly, with the voices that came in the room today, let's just say, I had to VERY supportive.   And it was thrilling and chilling at times!

OK  - I need to head back into midtown.  A little later on, DR Jason and I will be trekking down to Magnolia to fix a banana pudding fix, and then most likely a movie too.

I didn't flip for the third film as much when I first saw it, but in the additional viewings I've had since that first viewing, I've come to really love it.

Mike Newell is directing the newest one.

In talking about Garbo's ROMANCE a little bit ago, I meant to mention how generally good this 1930 film looked on TCM. Yes, there was some print damage, but on the whole it was a FAR less grainy picture than the DVD of ANNA KARENINA I viewed the other day.

I love I WANT TO LIVE! The first time I saw that movie, I was on the edge of my seat.

I still think WEST SIDE STORY and THE SOUND OF MUSIC are among the most cinematic of all Broadway-to-Hollywood musicals.

And DR td and I will never lose our attachment to STAR!

I'm off to clean the hallway and bedrooms now.

Then, I shall finish up with Garbo's ROMANCE (only about 15 minutes of this clunker left), and begin MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE.

Alas, I did not extend that invitation.  He was listing his upcoming projects - including some talk he was giving this afternoon - and I just knew he would not have been able to make it.

;)

He was probably hinting, hoping that you would extend the offer.

Was there some personal bias that kept you from exploring the beautiful Pacific Northwet Northwest?

Okay, I feel like such a moron- I just made this connection.  Not that I am a religious viewer of House, but I never realized that the lead actor, Hugh Laurie, is the dad from the Stuart Little movies.

I have an internal IMDB in my head for current film/tv stars and usually make these connections... just ask Rodzinski who has had to sit through countless movies with me rattling off a history of tv shows the actors have guest starred on. :)

And I do thnk the world would stop if you didn't say, "Well dear readers..."  I don't think we should take that chance.

I agree- I was watching some science fiction program the other day where Malcolm McDowell was a psychiatric patient convinced that if he did not carry out a series of bizarre ritualistic behaviors, the world would come to an end.  His psychiatrist doped him up so that he would calm down... and the world did indeed get pretty screwed up.

I would stick with Well dear readers if I were you... we wouldn't want to take any chances!  ;D
