I just remembered that I got "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" from Netflix.  I'm watching it now.

Jake is definitely nice to look at. ;)

Re:  PAINT YOUR WAGON.  I have very fond memories of a number of films that a lot of people hate (or at least dislike) simply because I remember my eldest sister taking me to the theater to see them.   I still can remember seeing things like SCROOGE with her, especially when we lived in Seattle.  I still remember coming out of the theater in downtown Seattle where we saw SCROOGE and finding that there had been a huge snowstorm while we were watching the movie and the entire city was coated in several inches of snow.
And I have a great memory of seeing SCROOGED at one of the midtown Manhattan movie theaters that seemed to seat thousands. The snow was gently falling on the city as we left that.

I have posted a series of four videos on Facebook, memorializing Miss Dixie Bell's  cemetery walk.
Sorry to hear about Miss Dixie Bell.

Finally caught up for the day. But just for the day.

Watching Alice Faye emote in "Fallen Angel." Not exactly a pretty sight.

Went to a soup party tonight where six soups were served. None was hot. Most needed salt and not a shaker in sight. Five were loaded with starches that I shouldn't be eating. Am I complaining?

It was also a pumpkin carving party. Though I didn't do a jack-o'-lantern, I did bring home the seeds, which I've toasted and topped with a great Chilean spice called merken. Just realized why I like the spice so much: tastes like hot dogs.

A friend talked me into joining her in a dance routine for an upcoming holiday show. I couldn't make the Wednesday rehearsal, so I showed up today. She didn't. I learned the entire routine with someone else. When I got home, I found a voice mail from her saying she wasn't doing the show any more. Agh.

The day has been quietly frustrating, to say the least.

got a bit more work to do tomorrow, but I'm hopeful to find a couple of hours to watch "South Pacific." It's kind of like a reward for getting at least one article done. And my essay for my grad school application.

Well, the ending of "Fallen Angel" has somehow redeemed the movie. And I really like the theme song, "Slowly," which was co-written by an old acquaintance, Kermit Goell.

Someone else might have to do it. I'm headed off to be. Night, all.

Both of these are fun.  But should anesthesiologists really be singing about how hard it is to wake up??

My art dealer pal has left the premises - we ended up doing a little trading - he got some stuff I had in the garage that I really didn't care about that much, and I got two incredible pieces in return - one of them is by Edwin Georgi - a story illustration for Redbook, I think - magnificent and I have the perfect wall for it.  Then another wonderful piece from Better Homes magazine (I think that's what it's called) from 1954 - very 1950s, a story illustration, and the model for the woman is instantly recognizable, I must say - Tippi Hedren.
