You made a forceful point though, how could anyone prefer the one to the other?

 

I'm sure we'll hear plenty about THAT soon enough.

april, its too funny! im speech class we were talking about Communication as usual and the subject of communication between males and females came up and my teacher had a slide show going and he put this picture up there of a couple kissing to show us how every argument should end (in his opinion) and i just said, "aaawwww! thats so cute!" and i didnt mean to say it out loud and he looked at me with bug eyes and said, "there you go class, its cute!" we all started laughing, it was too cute!

That's so funny! I like your teacher, he's very wise.

yeah he's a fun teacher!

If you're interested-

 

I looked on Ebay and found someone selling a copy of it for $24.99. It's region free, which usually means that someone has made a copy, but it comes with a keepcase and artwork. The seller has a really good rating too.

 

I'm always very careful when I buy DVDs on Ebay, but I got a copy of The Glass Key from them in a similar situation and it's a really good transfer, and it all looks very profressional. It's a good fall back if you know something isn't likely to be released domestically anytime soon, but you'd like a good copy that you don't have to pay a fortune for and that someone hasn't just copied from the TV.

 

I hope the link works.

Minya,

 

I am under the impression that this version on E-bay is from Grace McKee of vintagefilmbuff.com. If so, her stuff is generally excellent quality.

 

I don't have her SEVENTH HEAVEN, but I would be interested to see what it looks like, and compare it to my own program that I worked on. I don't know her personally. but I was very pleased with the prints of UNDERWORLD, and CITY GIRL, that I bought from Grace web-site.

[Minya]

*I don't have her SEVENTH HEAVEN, but I would be interested to see what it looks like, and compare it to my own program that I worked on.*

 

Are you able to do that as well? I'm hopeless when it comes to anything like transferring movies, which is why I love having DVR capabilties-a little button pushing and I'm set.

[FrankGrimes]

a little button pushing and I'm set.

 

That sounds about right.

[Minya]

*That sounds about right*

 

Cripes, what were you doing-lurking?

 

I think you need to be very kind to me right now. I found out today that the red dress is in fact NOT forthcoming. I had to cancel the order. I'm feeling very sorry for myself.

 

I would have liked to yell about it, but the people at the place have been unfailingly professional and apologetic about the whole debacle. So I spent part of the day listening to tragically loud music instead. Sigh.

 

 

I'll bet you feel bad now, huh?

[FrankGrimes]

[Minya]

Thanks.

[FrankGrimes]

So what's "Plan B"? A green sweater? The Lady Godiva look?

[Minya]

*So what's "Plan B"? A green sweater? The Lady Godiva look?*

 

I'd love to wear a green sweater-I'm really more of a sweater girl anyway. Lady Godiva not so much-too much Virgo modesty. And also I don't look like Angelina Jolie, so I don't think that many people would be impressed.

 

No, I will wear the dress I wore on my birthday, which is a perfectly nice dress-just not the one I'd wished for. Luckily everything I got accessory wise will still work with it. I'm bummed, but I tried to look at it this way-if this is the worst thing that ever happens to me, I'm coming out way ahead. I still get to be there and have fun with all my friends (especially now that I finally booked my hotel and flight) and I still get to be a bridesmaid for my best friend's wedding. It's all good.

[FrankGrimes]

And you've got a red bike. Hmmmm...

Try it and see.

You're supposed to milk the sympathy. Since "it's all good," I''ll return to my gentlemanly ways. Did you get the swashbuckler suite with the trashy dame terrace?

[Minya]

*You're supposed to milk the sympathy.*

 

I know! I'm not very good at it. I don't really groove on being the center of attention.

 

*Did you get the swashbuckler suite with the trashy dame terrace?*

 

If only! I'm afraid I can't afford to stay at the kind of places that cater to that type of whim. I'd say "One day, though!" except that I don't see myself ever going back to Las Vegas unless it's for something like this. It's not my favorite place in the world. No, I'll just have to win the lottery and build that type of thing for myself.

[FrankGrimes]

Whatever you say, Plungey.

Who knows, you may strike it rich and land your very own swashbuckler in Vegas. The city would hold greater meaning to you then.

 

How is your friend's father doing? I know how your dad is doing: Huskies and Lions, not good.

[Minya]

*Whatever you say, Plungey.*

 

It wasn't my fault!! Sniff!

 

*Who knows, you may strike it rich and land your very own swashbuckler in Vegas. The city would hold greater meaning to you then.*

 

I fear they would be along the lines of Bronxie's bottom pinchers from Florida, or they would have really bad taste in music. Like they'd listen to Huey Lewis or something. I couldn't even type that with a straight face.

 

*How is your friend's father doing?*

 

He's soldiering on-he's tired of course, from the latest round of chemo-but he keeps moving. I'd love it if medical science could finally find a way to combat cancer without injecting you with something that will almost kill you. Anyway, we're trying to get him on the same flight as me and a friend so he has someone to hang out with until we get down there.

 

*I know how your dad is doing: Huskies and Lions, not good*

 

Yes, it will be another grim Thanksgiving 'round here.

[FrankGrimes]

It wasn't my fault!! Sniff!

 

Those are not the wise words of a vamp. You're out of practice.

Nothing is worse than a Huey-Lewis-listenin' bottom pincher. Those sensitive ponytails are looking mighty fine right about now.

Sharing a flight with you is a good thing? The loss of your red dress is finally setting in. You are starting to lose all of your senses and what little mental capacity you had left.

 

Yes, it will be another grim Thanksgiving 'round here.

 

You better bake lots of peanut butter cup chocolate chip cookies.

[Minya]

*Those are not the wise words of a vamp. You're out of practice.*

 

I know. I'm all messed up.

 

*Those sensitive ponytails are looking mighty fine right about now.*

 

Bite your tongue! I would have to be quite desperate for companionship indeed.

 

*Sharing a flight with you is a good thing?*

 

Yes! Well, as long as there's no turbulence. Then it could get bad. I think I mentioned that the last time I went to new York with my dad, he had to hold my hand almost all the way from Chicago to Albany. It was very bumpy.

 

*You are starting to lose all of your senses and what little mental capacity you had left.*

 

I'd like to argue this point, but I just can't. I'm too sad.........

 

*You better bake lots of peanut butter cup chocolate chip cookies*

 

I couldn't get away from that even if I wanted to. I have to send cookies to Japan this year too- I have a friend who is stationed in Okinawa.

[FrankGrimes]

I know. I'm all messed up.

 

Much, much better.

 

Those sensitive ponytails are looking mighty fine right about now.

 

Bite your tongue! I would have to be quite desperate for companionship indeed.

 

You'd have to be at your most desperate with a Huey Lewis fan.

Yes! Well, as long as there's no turbulence. Then it could get bad. I think I mentioned that the last time I went to new York with my dad, he had to hold my hand almost all the way from Chicago to Albany. It was very bumpy.

 

Holding your hand would be plenty turbulent for any guy. Are you going to wear your pirate hat to the wedding?

 

You are starting to lose all of your senses and what little mental capacity you had left.

 

I'd like to argue this point, but I just can't. I'm too sad.........

 

Oh, no. You're "Butterscotching" me. I'm defenseless against sad girls.

I couldn't get away from that even if I wanted to. I have to send cookies to Japan this year too- I have a friend who is stationed in Okinawa.

 

Fortune cookies! Now are those good fortune or bad fortune cookies? Well...

[Minya]

*You'd have to be at your most desperate with a Huey Lewis fan.*

 

So long as he wasn't a sensitive ponytail man.

 

*Holding your hand would be plenty turbulent for any guy. Are you going to wear your pirate hat to the wedding?*

 

By turbulent I'm certain you mean exciting. I will probably not wear it to the wedding (too bulky to get into a bag) but a friend is having a Caribbean themed birthday party this weekend and I have promised to wear it then.

 

*I'm defenseless against sad girls.*

 

I knew I'd find a weakness sooner or later.

 

*Fortune cookies! Now are those good fortune or bad fortune cookies? Well...*

 

My cookies always bring good luck.

[FrankGrimes]

Holding your hand would be plenty turbulent for any guy.

Ohhhhhhh, sure, that's what I mean.

 

Are you going to wear your pirate hat to the wedding?

 

I will probably not wear it to the wedding (too bulky to get into a bag) but a friend is having a Caribbean themed birthday party this weekend and I have promised to wear it then.

 

More themed parties? Ugh!

 

I'm defenseless against sad girls.

 

I knew I'd find a weakness sooner or later.

 

I think you know quite a few.

 

Fortune cookies! Now are those good fortune or bad fortune cookies? Well...

 

My cookies always bring good luck.

 

But don't you think a guy would prefer the bad fortune cookies from a trashy dame? Not me, though. I'm a gentleman who likes nice girls.

I'm _truly_ sorry to hear that. I wish I knew some fashion folks in LA that could make you an original. But all I know are lawyers - and unemployed actors.

 

If it helps any, I will tell you that tomorrow is "fire-pit" Friday.
