I called my 86 yr old grandmother to wish her a happy birthday! Yay!
Can't wait for some warm weather.
Hear, hear. We've turned the corner, tomorrow is March!

2011 "Jane Eyre". My favorite is the 2006 version with Toby Stephens (son of Dame Maggie Smith), but this one has its merits.
-
If you can, see 'MARWENCOL'. It's an amazing documentary.
Saw "MARWENCOL" yesterday. Thank you for the recommendation. I think it was a good decision by the writer to slowly reveal what triggered the attack on the subject. I will be doing some searches to see if there are any updates on him.

'Amour'
It's not for everyone as it deals with death and dying, but it is worth seeing.
Have read wonderful reviews about "Amour", still undecided about seeing it because of the subject matter.
Saw "Side Effects" yesterday. It was good, not excellent. Good cast and some strong performances. Catherine Zeta-Jones as gorgeous as ever. Pieces of the plot have been done many times before and done better in my opinion.

My new ride, from Wal-Mart, the Huffy Cranbrook Cruiser
Nice. I like the color. Enjoy your rides!

So a good news/bad news situation. Good luck, keep up posted.

When I'm done updating what I'd like to in the forum, I'm going to start in on Seaweed Salad, some Brown Rice California Rolls and top it off with some chocolate that has been making my mouth water in anticipation since I received it.

I received a wonderful old-fashioned handwritten letter in the mail from a friend. The first reading made me happy, and the second, third, fourth.......

The crab cakes Black Dawg posted look so good.
Just in case any Americans think CP is referring to marijuana consumption, 13 stone = 182 pounds. I'd translate Mrs. CP's but I've always felt it impolite to discuss a woman's weight...and age.
Strider, you are a wise man.

I've seen "The Shawshank Redemption" mentioned here a couple of times, If you love that movie you just might like "The Count of Monte Cristo" too. Dam James Caviezel is almost as good looking as me.
I enjoyed that version of "The Count of Monte Cristo", what an excellent cast. Also liked the the 1975 version starring Richard Chamberlain. As you probably know, the novel played part in an amusing scene in "Shawshank".
Just noticed, "I've been going to the movies". I guess mine is more the movie is coming to me.
Same here, usually.

In honor of the blizzard conditions outdoors, songs that have snowy lyrics:
I listened to "Immigrant Song" from "How the West Was Won" while walking my dog.
And now "No Quarter" 4/28/1977.

Before my power goes out for good, wanted to wish everyone in Nemo's path well (planted, Anjin-san, SuperDave, The Chase, and anyone I've missed).

Happy Birthday to forum members and relatives.

ebk - what is this all about?
I am just kidding of course. It's all we've been hearing about for the last few days. I stop at a market after the gym most weekdays, and I'm there early enough that there are maybe a handful of customers and one or two cashiers working. This morning the market had the same number of cashiers but lines of 10+ people with overflowing carts. The madness has begun.
Thanks for thinking of us!

^I agree. Cheers for Planted!

redrum, that does look good. I've just added it to my Netflix watch queue so I don't forget about it.
"The Shawshank Redemption" has been on AMC this week. I can't count the number of times I've seen it and have read the Stephen King novella, but it's one of those that I don't tire of.

Macaroni & Cheese. Coconut sorbet for dessert.

Almost done with Season 2 of "The Wire", just the final episode to go. I'll probably not be able to get to it until next week and wanted to post while I have time to say thanks to forum members who recommended it. I'm sure this will not be my last post about this series.
My mind has been changed about a few of the characters in one way or another. True to life, everyone is flawed, albeit some have major flaws. One can guess the reason for some of the characters being the way they are (envrionment, for instance), but some of the backstories, e.g. McNulty have not yet been revealed - perhaps it never will?
I don't need to talk about all of the interesting plots and little things that make me laugh or gasp (literally).
To date, some of my favorites, good or bad: McNulty, Prez, Freamon, Bunk, Bubbles, D'Angelo Barksdale, Wallace, Stringer, and of course Omar (wow). The relationship between Hauk and Carver is great, they are like a couple who have been together for a long time.
I did not care for Ziggy at first, but now I understand and feel for him. At first I was drawn to Stringer Bell...very intelligent and always trying to better himself. Now I'm "off" him.
This is my second time trying to post this, I lost my first draft in some sort of black hole, so I'll end this now.

Thanks Deborah, I never tire of watching JPJ interviews. For a "quiet" man, he is very expressive with his face and body. Yeah, I think he's a cool one too.

Darn, I should have held off on my little story, it was a few years back & I'm well over it. Sorry April_lynn this should have been about you. On the bright side, sounds like you are in good spirits and won't be hurt too much financially. Good luck with it and your sale.

Thank goodness my daughter's dance class was canceled this evening.
Was it cancelled due to the weather or for other reasons? Trying to decide if I want to drive to an event or not tonight.
Thanks.

Replaying my videos from last nights 'Heart' concert at The Hanover Theatre in Worcester, MA.
'Alone' made me cry. Not only because I love the song, but Ann's voice was spot on.
'Crazy on You' gave me goosebumps. Nancy can really play her guitar. For real.
Two of their best in my opinion, glad you had a great time.

a surprise visit from 3 old school mates. i hadn't seen 2 of them in 30 or so years .... thanks again, facebook!
It's starting to happen for you then! I remember a conversation between several female members about this a few weeks back. Great news.

april_lynn, I am sorry to read this. Something similar happened to me a few years ago. Two incidents in a span of three months. I learned a tough lesson about leaving items on the floor in the basement. I won't list everything I lost, but since this is a music forum, I will mention I lost most of my vinyl.
Best wishes, it will get better!
