Going with the fam out for Indian tonight at a nice spot in Vancouver. I’ve been informed that a stop at a record shoppe is included for me.

That sounds like fun!  Vancouver, Canada or Vancouver, Washington?

He certainly isn't driving down here

[Jane]

THREE!

BC Canada, I shall report back. Vancouver WA is closer to Jane.

We have snow, and probably, ice here.

That IS interesting!  So the two Vancouvers are nowhere near each other!

Nope.  When we told people were moving to Vancouver we could tell by their reactions if they thought we were going to B.C.

[Jane]

"Oh, it is beautiful there" or "I love Vancouver" meant they thought we going to B.C.

[Jane]

When traveling people tend to ask where you are from.  It is confusing when we say Vancouver and we have to explain which makes our response a bit long.

Next trip, we are going to simply say Vancouver without an explanation.

DR Freddie if I drove to the 2nd Vancouver (we were first) and left now, it would likely take 5.5 hours to get there from my address.

[Jane]

We know some Vancouver, WA travelers who say they are from Portland.  But then they often get asked Maine or Oregon.

Skip just reminded me - when his show HERRINGBONE was done at a theater called Vancouver Arts Equity Theatre, it was right across the river from Portland, and Skip flew into Portland.

And you'd pass right by me on your way.

Very true.

I never knew Vancouver, WA had the name first!

We can see the airport from our back window.

When Skip came here we were still in Ashland.

Fort Vancouver, which I would have suggested Skip explore had I know about it, is near us.

Fort Vancouver was established in 1825, before the city was incorporated.

[Jane]

Fort Vancouver was named after Captain George Vancouver, a British explorer and sea captain. The fort was built in 1824–1825 by the Hudson's Bay Company as a headquarters for their fur trade in the Pacific Northwest.

[Jane]

Vancouver, B.C. is also named for George Vancouver.

Keith & I don't really do anything for Valentine's Day anymore.  Just being together is enough.

[Jane]

I expect we will have a video chat with a special little girl to watch her open our birthday gift.

[ChasSmith]

I leave the Valentine's Day activities to my lovely housemates, but here's a regular Friday kind of TOD:

Last night I watched Brian De Palma's BLOW OUT (1981) - which always seems like it should be hyphenated, like BLOW-UP (1966), but I digress. I have a like-hate relationship with the earlier so-called "Hitchcockian" thrillers of his. There's a lot to like, but their similarities and certain things he can be guaranteed to indulge in eventually get to me and I can go a long time between viewings.

I like BLOW OUT more than some of the others. The Philadelphia setting is interesting, I like the piecing together of audio/video evidence (the basic idea being borrowed from BLOW-UP), and I think Travolta is great in it. I like Nancy Allen, but isn't she kind of the same character in all of these? Maybe not, but it sometimes feels that way. John Lithgow is a surprise (nowadays) as the bad guy. So it was good to see it, and good to watch De Palma's very sixties early experimental film MURDER A LA MOD (1968) that's included on the Criterion disc.

My question is about the end of the movie DR JOHN G so I'll wait until your get it all over with to ask.

It’s over. Ask away.

[ChasSmith]

I finished up some stuff, so I'm about to put on a McGlinn CD (haven't decided which one yet) to listen to while I bring some order to the Music Room. I've actually wanted to hear some recordings of his lately, anyway, so time to get into it. I also need to fix up those turntables, because what I'd really like is to put on the Book of the Month Club album.

Exciting news from Criterion! These two films actually make up the complete novel Les Trois Mousquetaires of Alexandre Dumas

[elmore3003]

I don't know if this is real, but if so, something's got the soiled panties of the Fat Orange Felon in a bunch!

I'm up, I'm up - nine and a half hours of sleep.

Spent the last ninety minutes getting everything ready to send to the publisher and getting everything to Doug for the flap copy and blurb on the back cover - he'll also do the pre-order page.

Cool!  I remember my sister and I watching these on TV when we were kids.
