Having a weird few weeks ...

Ask to evacuate the house on Monday with the Noreaster with 6 inches of rain and 60 MPH gusts .... We were OK though the River didn't get as high as we feared ...

Saw a fun play in Bar Mills .. .

Also been feeling miserable (lack of a job doesn't help) ...

Going to a job fair...

Thanks - the idea was a blessing and it has been amazing to work on!

Also Jujubee is hot. And "Jujubee" is fun to say.
hotcurry:
LA is wonderful right now.

And sadly I bought the items on sale and they were too big. But because they were on huge sale they were no returns. frown

I really wish SG would give you SOME warning both on your account and on your e-mail that you are going to be auto-billed ...

I was lucky there was money in my account or I could have had a very expensive bounced check.

Please for the love of god its time for companies to learn this.

Especially when your main client base is in...

( ) ***** .. but have never seen the movie where many of the numbers like "Just a Little Girl from Little Rock" and "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" are from .. See it with Monroe and Jane Russell at there best ..

Also the genius of Howard Hawks and the joy of old Hollywood ... Make sure you catch this if you haven't before ...

saw Zodiac last weekend, was good, not spectacular. Also saw Breach recently which I liked. Cant wait to see shooter, the book by Stephen Hunter was great, but did they make wholesale changes for the big screen.

In unemployed land again ... a scary and frightful place ...

6 month temp assignment ended on Thursday and had a very fun weekend at the sci-fi writers con .. Boskone ... Really enjoyed the gaming room and would recommend "Apples to Apples" highly.

Also had a chance to see Pan's Labryinth which was a unique, beautiful and often scary film ... very well done...

So found out yesterday that my temp assignment of 6 months ends next Thursday ...

Hopefully the late winter provides a new opportunity.

Saw "Children of Men" ... One reviewer called it "gloriously depressing" which I think is somewhat accurate... The movie moves very quickly, has an amazing visual style and is quite post-apocolyptic ...

Closest movie might be the brilliant "28 Days Later" (*****)...

anyone else notice Idol is making a whole bunch of odd choices this year ...

I barely spent much time in Lewiston/Auburn, but I think that it's safe to say that I'm much happier here than I would have been near the banks of the Androscoggin. smile

My favorite bond is definitely Connery ... I thought Brosnan did a great job .. and actually getting my Mom two Brosnan gifts ... Remington Steele season 1 and the movie "The Matador" ***1/2 .. Which is fun and very, very arch .. Extremely well performed by Brosnan and Greg Kinnear

I heard Jayne had a very high I.Q as well,
its been said the whole dumb blonde thing with her was a huge act, but that she become obsessed with the whole self publicity thing to keep herself in the headlines.
Really tragic what happened to her.
I think if she had played her cards right, she could have done better quality stuff down the road
hellomrworld:
I saw the new Bond Casino Royale *** ... Daniel Craig's early bond is extremely diff then the other bonds .. much much more rough and tumble ..

I thought the accountant was extremely cute, but didn't did the hispanic woman early in the movie at all ...

Wil Wheaton called it the best bond ever in its blog .. It was OK but prefer Pierce Brosnan so far ...

Favorite Bond for me by far and away is Goldfinger ***** .. .That's the bond you need to see if you have not already .. Odd-Job and the hat .. Goldfinger, Pussy Galore, etc .. A really wonderful film.

One of the greatest directors of all time Robert Altman passed away today...

I was lucky enough to see him live discussing film with Buck Henry and a moderator at the DGA Theatre in Manhattan ...

I somehow got invited to this as part of the "VIP Club" from Vanity Fair magazine .. There was even an after party with free booze and nibbles up...

It was terribly english... I even had mushy peas! (Not on purpose though, I don't really like them mushy.)

The beef was fantastic, the potatoes and veggies were even better, but my yorkies didn't rise. They still tasted good though. smile
