I thought maybe you were wearing a "fascinator" attached to the back of your hair....like Deborah Kerr wore in the party sequence of "The King and I".

I wish it was but of everything it could be I know it's not that.

Hummm, might be. I think it's a balloon.

I know that picture was taken the day that my friend (the one I had lunch with the other day) retired from work.

Ya know, I hate it when my fingers can't keep up with my brain and I skip putting in a word. LOL!

I hate that when that happens... It happens to me frequently also!!

I'm downloading the old album FAMOUS MONSTERS SPEAK, featuring Gabe Dell as Dracula.

I'll have a cup of EmergenC right now, but that's it. It's partially allergies, too, but most of it, I'm afraid to say, is in my head.

Danise · « **Reply #125 on:** March 24, 2006, 11:38:50 AM »

I've never heard of EmergenC. Is that like Airborne?

Aint Eller promised to wear her fascinator, too, if Curly took her to the picnic!

How's the box office? Any special advertising promoting the appearance of the playwright? How did the other actor take his dismissal?

Enquiring minds want to know.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #128 on:** March 24, 2006, 11:51:15 AM »

Four more hours of work.

So here I am back again, and no posts for almost an hour.

Is it my breath?

No, DR WFO - it's Friday!!

No...

I was busy working on my notes for a paper I am doing for my class on Indians of the Plains. It is an anthropology class. I am pulling my History and Communications background into the paper. My topic is Native american images in film as seen through Native American and Euro-American lenses..

Lots of movie watching...

Cheyenne Autumn --- Not good in the portrayal of native Americans when it is applied to the Hoebel and Lowie interpretations.

Dances With Wolves has some merit as does Man called Horse and Little Big Man. Little Big Man has an interesting undercurrent as it refers to feelings regarding the Vietnam war.

I have watched Thunderheart....

I hope to in the near future view Skins, Windwalker, Powwow Highway and House Made of Dawn.

My paper is due at the end of April but it takes time to study, read and interpret. I have found several very good resources and information. I am also perusing a book on film theory to understand some things a bit better. Needless to say I am immersed in the world of celluloid images!

DR DakotaCelt - I used to tell students that term papers were called TERM papers because they were supposed to take a long time to complete - if they were supposed to be done at the last minute, they'd be called "cram-it-together-the-day-before-it's-due" papers. They weren't amused.

So true DR GINNY.....if begun at the beginning of the term, and even at one page a day - if would be finished by the end of the term....

"Information waitressing" comes from the title of a poem written by a co-worker. Would you like a copy?

Bruce!! Break legs tonight, stud!!!

(I, myself, will be at Kane Hall, trying to turn a no-lighting, no-set, no-tech-stuff-at-all, 3-count-'em-3 directors!-oy mish-mash into anything resembling an actual "show"...)(which opens, and closes, tomorrow night)

Oh well then. Friday.

So I'll do a TOD:

CD Player: I'm finally listening to the In Trousers CD that I bought some months ago, the OC starring our very own Alison Fraser--if you can believe it, twenty-seven years ago!

I know all the other Marvin/Falsettos scores through CD, but this is the first time I've heard IT, except for those songs which were transplanted into Falsettoland. And of course, "I'm Breaking Down" (cut but added to the CD), which I believe our very own BK rescued from oblivion on one or another of his classic Lost In/Unsung/Unwritten CDs.

Anyway, I just love William Finn, although he initially took some getting used to, and everything on this recording is infectious, even if I haven't the slightest clue what some of it is about.

I hear ya...

I had to pick my topic a month ago and submit my abstract for it. My professor was very impressed. It is a fascinating class. HE is loaning a copy of Powwow Highway. My paper is focusing more in the images of the Dakota (I know some of you know them as the Sioux but Dakota is the correct name) and the Cheyenne.

I shake my head when some come in and check out books at 11pm for a paper due at 8 or 9 am.

Actually, you have a better paper when you work on it bit by bit. A paper I did a couple of years ago on VRT preservation I worked on all semeseter and I got an A. The professor for that class was impressed and man I worked my butt off on it all semester.

I am now awaiting the Comcast Cable man to arrive and hook up the DVR machine.

MBarnum · « **Reply #147 on:** March 24, 2006, 01:02:57 PM »

...and I hope he is not sullen and crabby...

I once met a VERY nice cable man...but that is as story for another day.

William F. Orr · « **Reply #148 on:** March 24, 2006, 01:03:34 PM »

VCR: A time-shift tape for the new Dr. Who. I inadvertently missed the first two episodes last week, and so I recorded them last midnight (except for the first 7 minutes, as Joe said, "Weren't you doing to record... ?" and I ran to get the damn plastic off a new tape....)

So anyway we better watch those two before 8, when we will record the third episode.

And speaking of things British, we did see the new Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy last week.

Absurd that "Goodbye and Thanks for All the Fish" wasn't even nominated for an Oscar. I rather think it should have won.

But what do I know? I mean, I'm sure it's hard out here fo' a pimp.
