...go over the edge of the world to Page Three!

Happy Thanksgiving to our DRs in Canada.

Is your Thanksgiving Day much like ours? Curious minds want to know.

Thanks for the link to the Streisand Achives. I will go there presently.

Well, we had some girl-on-girl action on HBO's ROME last night. Sad to say, no comparable activity on the male side, but there's always room for hope, I guess.

Matt H. · « **Reply #64 on:** October 10, 2005, 01:02:17 PM »

Lunch ran two hours, however, so ROME was all I've had time to watch this afternoon. I had to do grocery shopping this afternoon as well since I had the houseguest yesterday morning and couldn't go at my usual time.

I'll catch up on the other shows this evening before regular prime time television begins.

Well, that's bizarre... I'm having the same problem uploading pics to Photobucket.com as I had this morning submitting posts through the Reply page on this here site. I am suspecting some kind of network filtering skulduggery at my end.

Hence, no visuals for the Page Three Dance.

Slow news day.

Looking like rain here on Columbus Day - but that's okay.

Great TODAY SHOW pics!

ROPE is a good movie, DR JASON....but I would suggest COMPULSION and SWOON as well.

Just to wake everyone up. Here is the Allison Hayes Picture of the Week!

Supper: filet mignon, baked potato with butter (no sour cream) and bacon, asparagus with hollandaise sauce, apple pie a la mode.

I have very simple tastes.

Ah, yes - the peasants' simple supper:

Filet Mignon
Asparagus with Hollandaise

(but with Shaved Truffle substitued for bacon on the tater)

...he had no idea of what an orchestrator does...

An orchestrator submits invoices for which he expects prompt payment.

Of course my favorite dinner would be with a special friend in Rome, Italy, Europe.

My goodness, we're veering very close to bitch-slapping time. I am merrily packing books.

Matt H. · « **Reply #73 on:** October 10, 2005, 02:05:09 PM »

Thanks, DR Dan (the Man) for the link to that Streisand archive. What terrific information on that special! I didn't take the time to read the write-ups on her other specials being much more thoroughly familiar with them, but I did finally find the listing at Amazon for the boxed set. More than a month away! Argh!

Matt H. · « **Reply #74 on:** October 10, 2005, 02:06:29 PM »

It has never reached anywhere near 70 today. Low 60s all day long (rained off and on all day), and it's the first day things have really felt like fall. I wore jeans for the first time since putting them away in the spring. It was great!

I'd love the temperatures to stay just like this for a long time.

Matt H. · « **Reply #75 on:** October 10, 2005, 02:24:17 PM »

Off to give the dining room the once over and then on to some more of last night's TV offerings.

bk · « **Reply #76 on:** October 10, 2005, 02:48:10 PM »

This is becoming nauseating. Columbus Day isn't a REAL holiday, you know.

Halfway through the packing - arduous. Filling out the labels, signing the books, stuffing the envelopes (with the book and the sparkling something-or-other) and then filling out the delivery confirmation tag.

Well catching up didn't take long today.

If I come back to three posts, I'm telling you here and now and also now and here that there will be a bitch-slapping to remember.

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #79 on:** October 10, 2005, 02:51:52 PM »

This morning I went for a walk, but I didn't get any decent photos.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #80 on:** October 10, 2005, 02:57:51 PM »

We watched an interesting programme on the Studio Ghibli last night. Is there any news yet of a release of "My Neigbour Totoro" in widescreen format etc.
I have most of the Miyasaki films.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #81 on:** October 10, 2005, 02:59:48 PM »

I added the DVD of "Allegro non Troppo" to my collection this week as well. I've not seen it for years.
I'm looking forward to the Bozzetto short films included as extras.

BK or Elmoore question

Whose idea to was it to quote the ET Flying Theme in the instrumental break on the track You Can Fly/I'm Flying on the Peter Pan CD?

elmore3003 · « **Reply #83 on:** October 10, 2005, 03:03:57 PM »

I've heard from Nurse Jane. She could use some good travel vibes. She's currently in Denver. I think, with an 18-24 inch snowstorm. She was waiting on a flight to San Francisco, thence to Oregon.

Bruce and Tood Ellison thought up the ballet music; I just scored what I was given. My only addition was the piccolo during the "Over the Rainbow" reference. I'd been watching the terrible film HOOK to hear "When You're All Alone," and there was this wonderful John Williams cue with little flashes of piccolo, which I promptly stole and added to the reed part before the session began.

Travel vibes to DR Jane...what the heck is she doing in Denver. She didn't get non-stop flight I take it.

MBarnum · « **Reply #86 on:** October 10, 2005, 03:14:45 PM »

I am worn out. I think all the excitement of my NY trip has just now caught up with me.

MBarnum · « **Reply #87 on:** October 10, 2005, 03:15:14 PM »

Pat Boone (I think) is singing FRIENDLY PERSUASION on the radio at this very moment.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #88 on:** October 10, 2005, 03:24:38 PM »

"Arms have I strong as the oak" - most likely is Pat Boone DB MBarnum.
More an Arnie S line!

Bk, I'm not recalling, but are you handwriting the mailing labels? Why not print them out on your PC printer? If you have Word you should be able to do a merge print on most label sheet formats.
