I just watched a very nice movie, RAPTURE, of which I previously knew nothing.  Now I shall read Julie Kirgo's notes on it which I know will be enlightening.  This brings me almost up to date on the Twilight Times I've acquired, which is most of them.  The only one here remaining to be seen is DESIREE, of which I also know nothing.

DESIREE.  You either love it or you hate it.  Kind of like how you feel about Marlon Brando.  But it does have Jean Simmons.

Back from my talk to the Sherlock Holmes group.

It went well...and i sold several Basil Rathbone books.

 

Congrats!

I'm packing for my flight to Madrid, Spain later today and where I'm sure the weather will be better than it is here. I usually fly British Airways but for a change I'm using a budget airline but paying a bit more for a better seat.

SAFE & EASY TRAVELS! 

I wish I was going to warm Spain.  I've never been there.

Well I've never been to Spain,  but I kinda like the music

Have you been to Oklahoma?

Well they tell me I was born there
But I really don't remember

Apologies for mundane snapshot:



I wish I'd had time to drive around there at night and take some decent pictures.  I was so impressed with the lovely Studio City, more than ever before.  It was always a neat place, but I never quite properly appreciated it back in the day.  Anyhoo, I thought Ventura Blvd. was absolutely great at night, and Art's (and Du-par's, and more) look extra fine when lit up.  A beautiful place, BK.

 



Ah, yes, sunny L. A.

My Papa's  ham casserole recipe

Egg noodles, cook al dente, drain, toss with butter, 

take quart of sour cream reserve a 1/8 cup - mix and egg into the quart, mix in with the egg noodles

stir in the mince ham, put the whole thing in a well buttered casserole dish

top with sour cream (like icing)  sprinkle with seasoned breadcrumbs and paprika  dot with butter

bake at 400 until brown and bubbly

serve with more sour cream on the side

you can always add broccoli or asparagus if you like but we like it plain


it si also wonderful fried up the next day with a couple of eggs

Did Papa have a dairy farm?

When my Dad was a boy my Papa was the live in gardener at Estate on on the North Shore - they kept chickens

By time I was born the estate had been sold, he big house and the garderners house torn down and a surburban neighborood built


Papa bought a small house with a big kitchen on a 1/4 acre and planted a vegetable garden over more than half the backyard, planted  cherry trees,  and peach trees.  He was a wonderful chef - rendered his own lard, ground his own beef, made his own preserves, relishes, pickles...

I miss  him

I'll Be Home For Christmas (if its done right) will make me weep

O Holy Night (if its done right) makes my spirit soar

[TCB]

Well, I've finished watching all 14 episodes of "Firefly."  Great show! 

Too bad it didn't last longer than it did.

Yup.

Now, I'll watch the movie, but in a little while.  My sister's boyfriend is here to record a laserdisc to DVD since he doesn't have a laserdisc player and I do.

Are you talking about SERENITY?  I will be interested in hearing what you think of it.

[TCB]

We got to the place early, so we strolled around the mall; stopped into a pet store.

Met a very friendly cat that wanted us to take him home.

 

Not sure if I ready to give my heart to another pet yet.

 

I don't know, Druxy.  If the cat picked you, it might be inevitable.

[TCB]

Vixmom, I have a question about your casserole.   Do you not put any salt or pepper, or onion, or celery, or anything else?

[ChasSmith]

So, Ms. Gozzi only made a handful of films, and nothing after 1973.

But she's in Leon Morin, Priest, a Criterion I just acquired.  Guess I know what I'll be watching next.

[TCB]

LOL!  The quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs is named Matt Cassel.  Every few minutes they will say that Cassel did this or Cassel did that; and I keep thinking they are saying CASTLE.

[TCB]

Oh, I guess Vixmom has left us.

The one thing I am having trouble getting used to with this laptop is the fact that if you leave the cursor sitting on something, it will automatically click it for you, and if you aren't careful, it will do it more than once.  But then, just when I expect it to click something for me, it just sits there and stares at me.  Weird.

I would think that that's a setting that you could change.

I will.  Larry is recording the interview show from yesterday, "Firefly 10th Anniversary: Browncoats Unite."  He's going to put it on a Blu-ray for me and I'll put it with the Blu-ray set that I just watched.

Well, you must get Sundays and Cybele, which is available on DVD (you have to import it, but the transfer is great - don't be fooled by the bootlegs - talk to me before ordering).  That's Miss Gozzi's best film.

[bk]

Many thanks for the song suggestions, several of which I've decided to do in our show.

[Jennifer]

I am hungry. Is it too early for breakfast?

I finished choosing and assigning and now I'll gather the sheet music.

Would it be this Sony one from Amazon UK?

Never!

Never!

Poutine!

And no, I'm not saying anything naughty.

Sure.

[John G.]

Me want poutine. And I ain't saying anything naughty, either. Except it's not on my diet.

Curse of the Cat People is quite different from the original Cat People, except the cast is the same. And it's quite wonderful. What a great double feature. The first was horror noir and the second is great melodrama.

That's the one.  Great film, and one of the greatest child performances in the history of movies.

I am just wondering............

Was Barbra Streisand the first artist to use MY FAVORITE THINGS on a Christmas album?

Well, I guess if she can sing SILENT NIGHT in Central Park in July, she can pretty well do whatever she wants, but I am still wondering.

She also sang Sondheim's "I Remember" as a Christmas song with a new verse (written by Sondheim).  I don't think that it worked.
