Dan - I don't mean to question how great your place of business is, because i'm sure you and your co-workers must love it, but maybe someone in your human resources area possibly needs to look at what's being told to people about the job vs. what the person actually found when he got there.   I've had at least two jobs in my life where I knew on the very first day that the fit was no good, and I'd wished I had either the guts or at the time the financial security to just call up and say sorry this isn't working out.  But I stayed a while, one of those times to my detriment when the time finally came to leave, because had I left on the first day, my old job would still have been open and they would have welcomed me back with open arms (as they did several months and much tsuris on the "new" job later).  I just wonder if the job that person was promised was not what he found, the wonderful lunch notwithstanding.  :)

For those seeking a new kind of diet to lose unwanted pounds, may I recommend the flu?

My good buddy Dave who lives in Seattle is sending me a compilation CD (music of his choosing) each month during the year 2006...I received January's CD yesterday and am enjoying it as I speak.

This one has sort of an Oriental/Eastern European theme to it...Right now is the  song JAPANESE SANDMAN by Frank Chacksfield and his Orchestra (1957). Next is NIGHT-TIME IN OLD SHANGHAI by Whitey Smith's Majestic Hotel Orchestra (c. 1928)....I am loving it!

I am bound to find some new favorite orchestras and singers this year thanks to Dave!

Rodzinski, reporting for duty. A spare moment to say "hiya folks." I am doing much better today.


Have you been sick "again"?  Or has it just been toying with you and stringing you along all this time?

That's the joke of it. I totally DID get a flu shot. For the first time in a couple years. Well, it didn't work.

Happy Birthday wishes to DR Iris and Radio Star Ben!


Saw a VERY powerful film yesterday THE KING ( With Mr Bernal, of Bad Education fame! he was on the screen!!) and I recommend it!
Definitely NOT a traditional Hollywood film!

Did anyone here see the French film Irreversible?  I was reading about it last night and it sounds like one of the most disgusting films ever made.

I wrote three pages of the new short story, I typed up all my editing and time code notes, and typed up our first attempt at the Linda Purl order.

I am pretty proud of myself that I can actually ask that question and know what it means!  ;)

I can not actually prepare a powerpoint presentatin, that is something my 12 year old daughter is doing for a school project.  

She is doing a project entitled "Music of the American Revolution" and is showing how the lyrics were used as propaganda by the different sides, using the same tunes and rewriting the lyrics.

She has found some "ree and legally downloadable MIDI files"on line for  "Yankee Doodle", "Heart of Oak" and "Nancy Dawson" and wants to import them into the slides where the lyrics for each song will be shown.

Last night she how to do it and I just looked at her blankly.

 


Another neat song from that era Vixmom is Barbara Allen. One song that I like Froggy went a-courtin'

Didn't know they had a Todai in WLA.  I must go to the one near me - haven't been there in ages.

What is Todai??

Also continued broken leg vibes for Deceit...

Thanks, everyone, for your most appreciated birthday greetings!

I've been busy with volunteer work at various film festivals. Last week I worked the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. Had a chance to take in some very interesting movies--one of which terrified me and I wish I had not seen. Titled "Right At Your Door", it details multiple terrorist attacks on Los Angeles.  I enjoyed "Little Miss Sunshine", "Friends With Money", and "Stephanie Daley".

Tonight I'm working the opening film at the Santa Barbara Film Festival. It's a World Premiere, "Ask The Dust", based on the novel by John Fante. The director is Robert Towne, the Academy Award winner for writing the screenplay for the film "Chinatown". He is attending this evening, along with stars Colin Farrell, Salma Hayek, and Donald Sutherland.

Afterwards, I intend to celebrate with a large piece of chocolate cake topped with peppermint ice cream, my favorite.

Thank you again, all you Hainsies and Kimlets, for the kind birthday wishes!

Re: Commander and Chief

I don't watch it, but I heard ABC will show new episodes all February for Feb sweeps. But it will be on hiatus all of March. And it will return in the spring for the last episodes.  I'm sort of surprised since it has gotten good reviews and Gina Davis just won the Golden Globe for the show.

I am also disappointed that the show will not be renewed. I rather enjoyed it.

DakotaCelt--

Todai is an upscale all-you-can-eat Japanese seafood buffet restaurant, with 40 types of sushi as well as hot buffet items.
They have several locations in California, and other restaurants all over the U.S.--and they plan to open one in New York City soon.

Last night's VERONICA MARS was also entertaining with some nice surprises. I was fooled.

I have never heard of this show. I am curious....

It's featured in a song from the Broadway musical THE ROAR OF THE GREASEPAINT, THE SMELL OF THE CROWD--

On a wonderful day like Todai,
I defy any cloud to appear in the sky,
Dare any raindrop to plop in my eye,
On a wonderful day like Todai..............

Gee! I do hope that my post did not prompt you to mention that 2002 French film!

I swear I have nothing to do with that movie! Honest! I never saw it either!
Mr Vincent Cassel, son of Jean-Pierre Cassel, seems to have a tendency to play weird characters; actually, he's in a new film, he's also producing, that has just been released yesterday and that deals with some sick plot too!
