Bronxgirl48 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 METEOR will fill your heart and soul with drek-delight, let me tell you. Brian has a Jimmy Stewart screech moment (but in Russian) and only speaks one phrase in broken English, something a New York taxi driver told him. It involves the Dodgers. I think Karl and Sean were wearing rugs, which actually makes a certain squishy scene near the end, in a tunnel, even more suspenseful, lol. The warhead missiles look VERY interesting. I leave it to your imagination. Message was edited by: Bronxgirl48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissGoddess Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Oh my goodness, Bronxling, 4:30 a.m.! I was actually awake at that time, I should have just stopped tossing and turning and jumped on the board. What a head I have today, I'd gladly turn it in for a new one. It is painful to turn on the TV to three of the most ravishing and ravishingly dressed creatures in Gene Kelly's Les Girls, when one is painfully aware that one looks like a piece of yesterday's liverwurst. I can't get over the gorgeous clothes in that movie. And how skinny the girls were. I am on a new diet as of this moment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankGrimes Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Oh my goodness, Bronxling, 4:30 a.m.! I was actually awake at that time, I should have just stopped tossing and turning and jumped on the board. What a head I have today, I'd gladly turn it in for a new one. Yet another night in the life of a champoo floozy. I can't get over the gorgeous clothes in that movie. And how skinny the girls were. I am on a new diet as of this moment! I thought skinny girls weren't natural. So... "They say from this valleeeeey you are leeeeeaving....I will miiiiisss your B.S. and BALONEY...." Those must be the lyrics from Snippy River Valley. From this valley they say you are going We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile For they say you are taking the sunshine That has brightened our path for a while Come and sit by my side if you love me Do not hasten to bid me adieu But remember the Red River Valley And the cowboy who loved you so true Won't you think of the valley you're leaving Oh how lonely, how sad it will be? Oh think of the fond heart you're breaking And the grief you are causing to me As you go to your home by the ocean May you never forget those sweet hours That we spent in the Red River Valley And the love we exchanged mid the flowers It is painful to turn on the TV to three of the most ravishing and ravishingly dressed creatures in Gene Kelly's Les Girls, when one is painfully aware that one looks like a piece of yesterday's liverwurst.

Bronxgirl48 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I like liverwurst. (on rye with raw onions) Didn't catch LES GIRLS, unfortunately. I love Kay Kendall.... I used to be skinny when I lived in Chicago, eight years ago. But of course I led a more pedestrian-friendly lifestyle. Here, it's jump in the car to mail a letter....I was a size 6, now I'm a 12, which maybe doesn't sound like that much, but to me it really does, and I'm very frustrated. I exercise like heck and really try to watch the carbs, but the scale doesn't budge.....of course the old hormones are kicking in, but I refuse to give in to this mid-life crap and am thinking of taking drastic measures: the Cosmopolitan diet, from the 1960's. Do you remember this one? (from the Helen Gurley Brown-run mag) Breakfast: one egg, any style, one glass white wine. Lunch: 2 eggs, one glass white wine. Dinner: small steak, finish the bottle of wine. Supposedly 10 pounds can be shed in less than a week. This sounds great to me, except for the wine. I get woozy just thinking about it. Speaking of tossing and turning, that's what I'm doing now. Only I'm awake, but restive and p.o.'d as heck getting ready for a definite tropical storm or possible hurricane here. We don't know exactly which way Fay will go. And I ain't talkin' about King Kong's inamorata or Missy's first (abusive) husband.

Bronxgirl48 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 A Virgo sweet and innocent? Behind their trademark chipmunk cheeks (astrology books actually use this phrase to describe this sign's idosyncratic facial features) lies obsessive-compulsive, repressed-sexuality madness. A lot of people will tell you that the unevolved Scorpio can be especially dangerous, and that's true, but an unevolved Virgo is truly a horror to behold. I had the misfortune to work for a Virgo boss many years ago in Manhattan. I was her secretary. I prided myself (and still pride myself) on being an efficient worker, but she nitpicked so much I finally wound up leaving. Example of her insanity which she passed off as perfectionism? If she didn't like what she had dictated to me (we had dictaphones in those ancient times) SHE WOULD TAKE THE PAPER OUT OF MY TYPEWRITER, TELL ME TO GET UP OFF THE CHAIR, AND TYPE IT UP HERSELF. I was there for a year, then I got lucky and found myself a similar position, but with a Leo boss, and he was terrific. Vain as all get out, and susceptible to flattery, which I of course heaped on him, lol. He was generous and loyal and funny and loved to give me advice. (even when I didn't need it) I had a fascinating experience with one of the other higher-ups in that office. Meeting this guy for the first time, I had a feeling I'd known him before which of course I hadn't. (I was still living at home in the Bronx, and he was an older man with an apartment in the city) I had read about reincarnation but didn't really put much stock in it. But when I saw him, he reminded me of someone in ancient Rome. All I said to him was that I thought I had seen him before many centuries ago, and I'll never forget his answer: "Was I a gladiator in ancient Rome?" I was so shocked I almost fainted. The little voodoo dolls in VOODOO ISLAND always give me a thrill but I don't think I want my last movie to be anything with Murvyn Vye. You mention Kevin and Tuscan sun one more time, and I'll send YOU back to ancient Rome. Without benefit of Mr. Peabody's time machine. I've got to go now and make last minute preparations for this storm/hurricane that seems to be inexorably heading our way down here. So if you don't hear from me for a couple of days (wipe that smile off your face) you'll know that's the reason, ma dearie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronxgirl48 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 The evolved Virgos (of which Grimes is not) are JOYS to behold. And you're one of them. Thanks! I'm already thinking of "creative" ways to use canned beans and tuna fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissGoddess Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 If only I were as good as Mr. Carmichael and could sit at Miss Bacall's feet.

Minya Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 *Thunderstorms are rolling right now. There is another system developing in the Atlantic, however. Weather forecasts are never hopeful during hurricane season.* I've been watching the weather forecasts more carefully since Fay made her appearance-it's good to know you didn't have to deal with a full on hurricane. I'll keep my fingers crossed about the new storm. I've always wanted to have a hurricane (not a killer storm, just one that gets a few headlines) with my name, but the best I ever got was a lousy tropical storm that no one really wrote about. My real name comes too far down in the alphabet to qualify. An unfortunate storm connection is that Katrina came ashore on my birthday three years ago.
