WEL: Here it is the norm for 20 minutes of previews and ads before the movie. It would be good to be able to avoid those but then the better seats (for me) would be taken. At least my yes get a chance to adjust to the size of the screen.
We watched the 2003 "Royal Command Performance" last night. A dreary night and I don't think Her Majesty would have been that thrilled with the acts. Featured was an "Osmonds" reunion. Dame Edna was without a doubt the star. (Dressed as a Scotch Thistle).

[ Robert Redford was in one trailer and he looked at death's door. Of course when I shots of him at Sundance this year he also looked pretty bad. Age or illness?

My theory is that Redford (and Clint Eastwood) have had "work" done. Which makes both of them look embalmed. One of the great things about Eastwood was that his face always - even when he was young - had that lived in look. Now there's this unnatural smoothness around the eyes. As for Redford, a good-looking man, (although not my type)-- had he been allowed to age naturally, he would have become an older good-looking man. Now he just looks really bizarre - and, as you say, ill.

Ya know, in my new health conscious state, I fear I must ask—Bruce, if we’re keeping the home fries burning, what are we keeping them burning in? I hope it’s a low fat oil. On the other hand by keeping them burning, we risk catching the site on fire because oil catches fire so easy. Hummm.

Jane, I hope that works for you! I bought a bottle myself but I can’t bring myself to inhale the stuff. I feel like I’m drowning when I do.

JRand, I'm dressed for Valentines Day--Do you approve? It's not to late to change.

TD is the hospital is keeping your Dad's sugar level under control now?

Jane, thanks for asking.

Yes, they are. Normally, he does his own sugar check first thing in the morning, then around five pm, before dinner. The hospital is actually taking his count every three/four hours!

I'm actually encouraged since this is the same hospital that both dad and i bitched to high heaven about during mom's countless stays there this past summer/fall/indian summer and winter.

Jane have you tried eating some horseradish for your cold? ? ? You don't have to eat it grated, there are some very good Horsey sauces on the supermarket shelves. . .or, just open a jar of horseradish and take a very, deeeeeeeeeeeep breath.

Jay · « **Reply #94 on:** February 07, 2004, 06:24:44 PM »

Since you don't like horseradish, Dear Reader Jane, (are you sure you're Jewish?) I should send you some of the mustard from Phillipe's in downtown L.A. to clear your sinuses. I just happened to have lunch there today, and enjoyed the wonderful pleasure of a lamb dip sandwich slathered with that wonderful mustard. It quite literally brought tears to my eyes.

Jed · « **Reply #95 on:** February 07, 2004, 06:30:13 PM »

DR Jay, your mustard post has made me hungry. Loves me some good tear-inducing mustard, and, unlike DR Jane, I can't get enough horseradish. Culinary masochist, I guess.

Spent much of today at a regional high school vocal contest, just for something to do on a sleepy Saturday afternoon. Didn't hear anything too impressive on the male side of things, but a couple VERY nice young sopranos. No 17-year-old should be able to sing Gounod's "Juliet's Waltz" so effortlessly... wonderful.

Jane · « **Reply #96 on:** February 07, 2004, 06:41:05 PM »

I’m such a fussy eater. I don’t like mustard either.

My mother was English & I think of horseradish as something served with Prime Rib and Yorkshire Pudding. Silly because we did have horseradish at Passover, which I passed on. Any other food suggestions, one I might have in the house? I do find breathing my mint toothpaste helps a bit.

Danise you look lovely dressed for Valintine’s Day.

TD it is a shame how often hospital staff need “prompting” to take the proper care of patients.

Jane · « **Reply #97 on:** February 07, 2004, 06:43:36 PM »

Jed I didn't see your post. Are you going to eat horseradish & eye watering mustard together? If so I'm sure glad I can't see you.

Panni · « **Reply #98 on:** February 07, 2004, 06:45:04 PM »

Chamomile tea with honey and lemon. It's probably too late for it to do any good - but it won't hurt.

Jennifer · « **Reply #99 on:** February 07, 2004, 06:46:18 PM »

DR Danise love those hearts!

Just watches the dvd Swimming Pool and am now reading the spoiler sites so somebody can tell me how it ended.

Btw, re: ads/previews at movie theatres

I have enough trouble sitting through the entire movie. For some reason I have no patience to sit through ads and previews. They just bug me. I can handle 3 previews, but that is my max.

What I started doing, is going to my seat early but then once the ads start i get up (obviously this only works if you have someone with you saving your seat). I get up, walk around, use the bathroom. And when I return the previews will just have started (or I"ll get to see the last few).

Jane · « **Reply #100 on:** February 07, 2004, 06:48:05 PM »

I think I will turn off the computer for the evening. Have a good one.

Jennifer · « **Reply #101 on:** February 07, 2004, 06:53:30 PM »

And in my CD player (it arrived in my mailbox yesterday and I didn't get it until late):

Our Wedding: The Musical
written by our very own Noel Katz and starring our very own Noel Katz and our very own Joy Dewing (Katz)!!! I've only listened to about half of it (the first half) and it's great! I have to go to work today and will listen to the rest of it. Thanks! (In case anyone didn't know, you can get your very own copy at www.weddingmusical.com.) I highly recommend it!

George - so thrilled to hear your reaction.

And here's a trivia question (anyone may answer)...

Did you notice what it has in common with the other CD you were listening to, the Witchita production of Honk?

Laura II · « **Reply #106 on:** February 07, 2004, 07:14:49 PM »

Michael Lavine was music director for both HONK! and your wedding! Pretty cool...and I got both CDs within just a few days of each other. Small world, isn't it? (a Sondheim reference)

I always thought those stripes were not straight. Now I know the reason. Of course "not being straight" is not a problem in my world.

Matt H. · « **Reply #114 on:** February 07, 2004, 08:15:54 PM »

The production of SHE LOVES ME which I auditioned for and wasn't cast in has now opened and been reviewed: pans across the board. I take no great pleasure in this. (Well, maybe a little). But it does make me think I was fortunate not to be chosen. BTW, the fellow who got Sipos got a fairly positive review in one paper and wasn't mentioned at all (the only principal who wasn't) in the other paper.

Things usually seem to work out for the best I've always found.

Home at last, and now dealing with my new galley, which I've just started going through and which, maddeningly, has stuff fixed, new stuff wrong, and stuff that didn't get fixed. Please, keep the home fries burning and I'll be back on after dinner.

I burnt my home fries for you, BK, I hope it helped.
