Today is my Little Puddin’s sixteenth birthday! As many of you may know, its so tricky buying something for a teenager—any teenager—because their tastes can be so varied. I’ve learned never to buy him clothes without bringing him along to the stores with me. What’s the sense in buying something he’ll never wear, right? I wanted to get him something special, something hopefully he could keep for a long, long time, so I selected a big chunky marine link sterling silver bracelet. Anyway, he opened it last night and he absolutely loved it. I was happy.
--------
I bought The DaVinci Code DVD on Wednesday and watched it and the special commentaries and behind the scenes stuff yesterday. For the most part the extras were boring EXCEPT for two:
1. “Codes in the DaVinci Code” which shows that director Ron Howard, along with help from the writer Dan Brown, slipped in some further clues in the film.
2. The “Magical Places” bit was very interesting too. Howard and the cast talked about filming in the Louve after hours. Wouldn’t that be an AMAZING experience—to have upclose and personal access to those pieces of art??? Also they said that the French government was very helpful in filming and granted them unprecedented access to certain places. The French were helpful—who knew?
The British government—not so much. Another cathedral had to stand in for Westminster Abbey and the set designer talked about making that cathedral look like W.A. However Ron Howard had nothing but praise for the English people because they had to shoot a street scene without blocking it off from the public. They were worried about the sounds, and people using flash cameras and mugging for the camera, etc. Howard said that everyone did as they were asked and were just very polite and cooperative.
Both Howard and Tom Hanks loved Scotland and shooting at Rosalyn Cathedral and said the people there were just lovely. I remember reading around the time they were making the film that there were some protests (mostly about the book itself, not necessarily the movie) so people working on the movie were pleasantly surprised with the people they met on each location.

An email I received
Emma,
Long time listener first time caller here.I don't know why I picked out one of Rag's comments, she's usually inconsequential, but she kept saying you started the fight with blu. I didn't have anything better to do until 10pm so I put all of Blu's and your comments in order. It started on November 9, a day that will live in infamy. They are in order but some seem odd because you both may be talking to other posters. This is also where we see Alex and Bly's love bloom.
Asst Tidbits NOVEMBER 9
He bought out an entire room at a restaurant so he and K could be alone.
With people like you watching his every move, do you blame him?
Comment by blu — November 9, 2006 @ 10:17
More importantly, Ed Bradley died. Allan, get on it.
Comment by blu — November 9, 2006 @ 12:24 pm
Yes, don’t you people get CNN Breaking news delivered to your inbox?
I was the first to know about Britney filing for divorce. And acting as any good manager, sent that CNN breaking news headline to my staff to keep them informed of the important events in the world.
Comment by blu — November 9, 2006 @ 1:38 pm
Bly can’t be bothered with actual numbers, Sheila.
Comment by blu — November 9, 2006 @ 2:00 pm
I broke down Sheila’s table further:Salary per person, taxes, %1,002,075 235,406 23%190,452 32,277 17%115,007 14,121 12%76,557 7,090 9%43,150 3,024 7%14,149 421 3%
Comment by blu — November 9, 2006 @ 7:19 pm
I’m just guessing but I would think that a person making $14,149/yr would miss that $424 MORE than that person making $1,002,075 would miss $230,477
Comment by EmmaWrites — November 9, 2006 @ 9:30 pm
I disagree. It’s all relative.
Comment by blu — November 9, 2006 @ 10:23 pm
Oh Bly, make up your mind. Rich or billions? You are presented with numbers of people who make a million that show they are paying more % wise than those who make less so now you up the ante to billions. How many people in the US are sitting on billions? And do you actually know how much they are paying? I did the taxes of an extremely wealthy man in Long Island who paid ten million in federal taxes a year. Is that enough for you? Nobody gets by free in this country besides those who refuse to work and reap the benefits of tax payments made by others.
Comment by blu — November 9, 2006 @ 10:50 pm
Bly, You’d love living in Cuba. Take Emma with you.
Comment by blu — November 9, 2006 @ 10:58 pm
Ole!
Comment by EmmaWrites — November 10, 2006 @ 6:13 am
Bly, Cuba. You can get there through Canada.
Tree, Yes. I agree with that to some degree. However I also side with people who got themselves to a substantial financial position and they should be able to enjoy it to the fullest extent without being penalized any more for it.
With attitudes like Bly “I would tax the billionaires until they were no more, and move down from there” there would be no drive for success and it goes against what America stands for to a certain degree.
For example, I am sure a man (once poor) I know who came from China to build a successful software company and go on to become a millionaire would have thought twice about coming here if leadership was of the Bly mentality.
Comment by blu — November 10, 2006 @ 10:36 am
–if you tax the rich they don’t pay more tax they just fuck off to another country taking their wealth them
Thank You Meme.
Comment by blu — November 10, 2006 @ 10:38 am
It’s not about “soaking the rich.” I’m talking about a simple concept: If you earn more money, it’s logical to assume that you would bear more of a tax burden than someone who makes less money. What’s so jhard to swallow about that?

Comment by EmmaWrites — November 10, 2006 @ 12:50 pm
You know nothing about my attitude nor what I do about the less fortunate Emma. I do know that your rich sister donated her Lexus to you and will be paying for your son’s college tuition. Perhaps you should redirect that to the poor? Or perhaps she should be taxed so heavily so she wouldn’t be able to do that? I was previously sticking to the figures presented which you either didn’t review or seem to understand, so now let’s make it personal.
Comment by blu — November 10, 2006 @ 1:08 pm
By the way Emma, the Marc Jacob’s bag your sister gave you would easily cover a couple of tax payments for the poor. Why not do that?
Comment by blu — November 10, 2006 @ 1:11 pm
Oh hush Allan.
And Emma, I agree that the rich should be taxed at a greater %. Find me a post where I said I didn’t. The problem that I have with you is that you automatically jump down my throat when I stated that the rich are already paying a greater %. Yet you don’t get my attitude about the poor? Fuck off, Emma. You obviously have some gripe against me and are becoming such an annoying fucking bitch saying and arguing ANYTHING I post - ANYTHING. Perhaps some were right about you.
Comment by blu — November 10, 2006 @ 1:20 pm
bluwhat my sister or friends give to me or my son out of their own generosity, has nothing to do with you. . . unless you count to contribute to your pettiness. I give plenty to the poor. That’s not even the point, but you take personal jabs. So be it.I’m not saying that the wealthy shouldn’t enjoy their money or belongings, but you just don’t get that, do you?
Comment by EmmaWrites — November 10, 2006 @ 1:46 pm

Comment by blu — November 13, 2006 @ 11:03 am
Why should they? Everyone in this world doesn’t have to agree with you, Bly. Disassociate yourself from organized religion. Elton chooses to be a victim of prejudice. How many people are really that impacted by religious crackpots if they choose not to be?
Comment by blu — November 13, 2006 @ 4:15 pm
Beann, That’s what I was thinking. Bono’s done some wonderful things for this world. I like his music too
Comment by EmmaWrites — November 13, 2006 @ 8:42 pm
I disagree about Bono. Why do people expect him to live in sackcloth and ashes? He’s a multi millionaire and works hard. Let him have a mansion or two..he STILL donates his time, his celebrity, and his money to causes he believes in.Does anyone expect him to give ALL his money away? I sure don’t.
That’s a cop out to say “well Bono still has millions and mansions so why should *I* give my money to worthy causes?” He’s brought more attention and money for the AIDS problem, and lack of clean water, in Africa than almost anyone else you can name. I say you can have celebrity AND money and STILL be a do gooder.
Should Angelina Jolie forego all her money and give it all to build orphanages? Well, I guess it would be nice but it’s unlikely.
Comment by EmmaWrites — November 14, 2006 @ 10:21 am
I thought we were taxing millionaires until they were no more?
Comment by blu — November 14, 2006 @ 10:27 am
well, shame on him and his accountants. maybe that 5% saw its way to Africa. Evidently tax laws need to be rewritten. But IMHO Bono has done a world of good. One slimy thing done by his tax accountants does not negate all the good he’s done and the attention he’s focused on some of the poorest nations of this world.
As far as Sparky’s comment—the world is full of middle class do gooders, and I’m sure they don’t mind the celebrity do-gooders hogging all the glory. Thank God do-gooding isn’t restricted to famous people.
Comment by EmmaWrites — November 14, 2006 @ 11:02 am
Ohhhh! So in Bono’s case, she blames the tax accountant? LOL.
Emma, did you just not say a week ago that the rich should be taxed far greater than the poor? Are you now adding in an extra clause - saying if they donate some of the money, they should be exonerated from taxes, period?
Comment by blu — November 14, 2006 @ 11:25 am
—Does anyone expect him to give ALL his money away? I sure don’t.
Bly does. Ask him.
Comment by blu — November 14, 2006 @ 11:29 am

Comment by blu — November 14, 2006 @ 5:09 pm
blu, so shut up about it already. jeez. you sound like Sparky when he “doesn’t have time for further silliness” and then goes on and on and on.Over the online years you’ve given me and others A LOT of ammunition if I wanted to retailate and make a political or moral argument personal, but did I? No.I’m a Liberal and I believe in Liberal philiosophies. That’s me. It’s not you, nor do I try and convince you to break out of your crappy “What’s mine is mine” shell. I don’t care if you do or not. I just post comments and they can go in one ear and out the other for all I care. You take it like I’m personally going to come and take away all your money, force you to have an abortion, force you to vote Democrat, and force you to believe something you don’t.You’ve been spiteful and a wee bit of a bitch. Now I’m going to steal a line from that “Conservative” icon Stephen Colbert and tell you now, “You’re Dead To Me.”
Comment by EmmaWrites — November 14, 2006 @ 5:42 pm
Emma, If you don’t see the difference in your snipes towards me vs. the way you interact with Meme, then you are clueless. Simple clueless. You started this. And so now tough luck. Deal with it. And I don’t take what you say personally, you are not all that bright to have your opinions taken seriously.
Comment by blu — November 14, 2006 @ 5:54 pm

Are you kidding? Honey, go for it. You must have forgetten plenty you told me over the years. And that reminds me, no wonder you side with Clinton and his extra marital affairs.
Comment by blu — November 14, 2006 @ 5:57 pm
I have no dirty linen here that hasn’t been aired out in my own blog. I know who I am & what I have done in life and secure enough in both not to be worried. Yet when someone has the audacity to threaten me in that way, I’d like to remind them they are not perfect themselves and perhaps they should consider the fact that I have kept quiet on a few things.
Comment by blu — November 14, 2006 @ 7:36 pm
—take away all your money, force you to have an abortion, force you to vote Democrat, and force you to believe something you don’t.
I see you changed your post to add some more bullshit.
What money? Abortion? Show me one post where I stated I was against abortion. I am all for banning late term abortions unless for the health of the mother. That makes me pro-life all of a sudden? I never voted democrat? You talk so much shit about me and assume so much when I never stated any of these things. Just because someone doesn’t agree with all your liberal bullshit doesn’t all of a sudden make them a conservative republican. There is nothing wrong with being liberal. But you go around posting all this liberal bullshit just for the sake of doing it instead of basing it on any reasonability, common sense or intelligence. You’re unable to have an argument with anyone here or perhaps see someone’s elses point of view. When you come up against someone who has proved you wrong, you move on to the next post or in this case you had the audacity to threaten to use ammunition against me. Get real, Emma. And next time you try that, I will air your dirty laundry.

“I was always under the opinion that Blu and Emma had decided behind our backs to carry on warfare and laugh at all of us lining up on one side or the other- I never considered their comments that disparaged each other were serious”
222, I heard this happened on the old Boreds between. . .I’m not sure . . pairasocks chick or that diner waitress chick that Iago loved until he met her. But it may be an Urban Shelf legend.
But no…no collusion with blu..she’s just a crazy stubborn mutherfucker and DTM
Comment by EmmaWrites — November 15, 2006 @ 9:13 am
Emma, I thought I was dead to you? And why not direct your name calling towards me? When I call you a stupid cunt, it’s directed to you - not as a response to someone else’s post. Funny, Emma - I am certainly not on everyone’s favorite list but nor do I try to be. There’s plenty around here I can’t stand and I don’t hide the fact, feelings are mutual. But you sure kiss plenty of ass around here because your fan club is dwindling. Ever wonder why quite a few people think you’re an idiot? By the way, are you still meeting married men in hotels for sex?

Emma - Arguing with you is pointless. You are never wrong even when you are proven wrong. That’s just plain stupidity and I don’t have patience for stupid and stubborn people.

blu, so shut up about it already. jeez. you sound like Sparky when he “doesn’t have time for further silliness” and then goes on and on and on.Over the online years you’ve given me and others A LOT of ammunition if I wanted to retailate and make a political or moral argument personal, but did I? No.I’m a Liberal and I believe in Liberal philiosophies. That’s me. It’s not you, nor do I try and convince you to break out of your crappy “What’s mine is mine” shell. I don’t care if you do or not. I just post comments and they can go in one ear and out the other for all I care. You take it like I’m personally going to come and take away all your money, force you to have an abortion, force you to vote Democrat, and force you to believe something you don’t.You’ve been spiteful and a wee bit of a bitch. Now I’m going to steal a line from that “Conservative” icon Stephen Colbert and tell you now, “You’re Dead To Me.”

Emma, If you don’t see the difference in your snipes towards me vs. the way you interact with Meme, then you are clueless. Simple clueless. You started this. And so now tough luck. Deal with it. And I don’t take what you say personally, you are not all that bright to have your opinions taken seriously.

Are you kidding? Honey, go for it. You must have forgetten plenty you told me over the years. And that reminds me, no wonder you side with Clinton and his extra marital affairs.

I have no dirty linen here that hasn’t been aired out in my own blog. I know who I am & what I have done in life and secure enough in both not to be worried. Yet when someone has the audacity to threaten me in that way, I’d like to remind them they are not perfect themselves and perhaps they should consider the fact that I have kept quiet on a few things.

—take away all your money, force you to have an abortion, force you to vote Democrat, and force you to believe something you don’t.
I see you changed your post to add some more bullshit.
What money? Abortion? Show me one post where I stated I was against abortion. I am all for banning late term abortions unless for the health of the mother. That makes me pro-life all of a sudden? I never voted democrat? You talk so much shit about me and assume so much when I never stated any of these things. Just because someone doesn’t agree with all your liberal bullshit doesn’t all of a sudden make them a conservative republican. There is nothing wrong with being liberal. But you go around posting all this liberal bullshit just for the sake of doing it instead of basing it on any reasonability, common sense or intelligence. You’re unable to have an argument with anyone here or perhaps see someone’s elses point of view. When you come up against someone who has proved you wrong, you move on to the next post or in this case you had the audacity to threaten to use ammunition against me. Get real, Emma. And next time you try that, I will air your dirty laundry.

“I was always under the opinion that Blu and Emma had decided behind our backs to carry on warfare and laugh at all of us lining up on one side or the other- I never considered their comments that disparaged each other were serious”
222, I heard this happened on the old Boreds between. . .I’m not sure . . pairasocks chick or that diner waitress chick that Iago loved until he met her. But it may be an Urban Shelf legend.
But no…no collusion with blu..she’s just a crazy stubborn mutherfucker and DTM

Emma, I thought I was dead to you? And why not direct your name calling towards me? When I call you a stupid cunt, it’s directed to you - not as a response to someone else’s post. Funny, Emma - I am certainly not on everyone’s favorite list but nor do I try to be. There’s plenty around here I can’t stand and I don’t hide the fact, feelings are mutual. But you sure kiss plenty of ass around here because your fan club is dwindling. Ever wonder why quite a few people think you’re an idiot? By the way, are you still meeting married men in hotels for sex?

Meth Lab/Braces
Yesterday when LP and I were taking back videos to the video place we saw cop cars cordoning off a whole street block. It was about three blocks from here. The police were there the whole day. It seems that an unidentified man went into this guy's apartment and shot him dead. The police theorize that it was about a drug sale gone wrong.
I know this cop from work. He's said that meth labs are just rampant in the Midwest. If they close one down, ten more spring up. Evidently it's cheap to make. You can probably get the formula off the Internet. He told me a tell tale sign you have one in your neighborhood is that there is usually a very, very strong smell of ammonia in the area, since that's one of he components. A co-worker looked horrified and said in the summer when she was walking her dog, she got a whiff of a strong ammonia smell. She thought it was cat pee. "You mean there could be a meth lab in my neighborhood??" Chances are . . .

I took LP to his orthodontist last week. He gets his braces off in a few weeks and he's excited! They've been on for 2 1/2 years.

Films I’ll watch over and over:
All That Heaven Allows--My favorite
Hannah & Her Sisters--Woody Allen at his best, before he turned perv. Michael Caine is lovely
East of Eden--Julie Harris is almost as fun to watch as James Dean
Maltese Falcon--Bogie. 'nuff said.
Young Frankenstein--it's Fraankenstein
Waiting for Guffman--Makes me smile just thinking about it
Best in Show--Ditto. I like the way Christopher Guest looks like his bloodhound
The Ghost & Mrs Muir--Escapism
Hud--Paul Newman shirtless. Oh my
12 Angry Men--Just great
Double Indemnity--Barbara Stanwyck is such a ballsy dame
Amelie--Audrey Tatou is just adorable
Broadcast News--Albert Brooks' flop sweat
To Sir With Love--Sidney Portier personifies elegance
The King of Comedy--Only Jerry Lewis film I'll watch. Rupert Pupkin's basement talk shows are genius
Murphy’s Romance--I really really like Sally Field in this one, and who wouldn't fall in love with James Garner?
Lost in America--Albert Brooks again.
Local Hero--This is such a wonderful fantasy film. Love the locations.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid--"The fall alone will kill you!"
Defending Your Life--Another Albert Brooks, this time with the wonderful Meryl Streep
Pillow Talk--Rock and Doris, but Tony Randall steals the show
Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner--I like Katharine and Spencer together onscreen.
Autumn Leaves--It's so bad that's it's good. Joan Crawford in a swimsuit and it still looks like she is wearing shoulder pads
Mildred Pierce--Joan Crawford again
White Christmas--I love Rosemary Clooney and Vera Ellen together. I'm always amazed by Vera Ellen's waist size. It's got to be less than 12 inches!
Moonstruck--I love Cher. I love Nicolas Cage, but watch it for Olympia Dukakis
North By Northwest--Cary Grant being in danger but still debonair. What actor today is debonair? Name one!
On the Town--Love the songs.
Disney’s Beauty and the Beast--One of my top two all time favorite animated movies, plus Angela Lansbury plays a teapot!
Pixar’s Toy Story--The other of my favorite top two all time favorite animated movies.
Funny Girl--It's all about Barbra. Swoon.
Annie Hall--It made me love Diane Keaton, and I still do.
A Place in the Sun--Everyone is beautiful in Black and White--even Shelley Winters
Giant--Rock. James Dean. Elizabeth Taylor.
The Quiet Man--Schmaltzy but fun.
The Player--My favorite Robert Altman film, and Tim Robbins is just so good.
The Sound of Music--Christopher Plummer is wonderful in this, plus I love the opening shot1
Electric Horseman--Jane Fonda and Robert Redford,throw in some Willie Nelson and go.
Coming Home--Is this the only war film I love? Yeah.
To Kill a Mockingbird--Peck as Atticus Finch. That's all.
The African Queen--Bogie with leeches, looking dirty and druck. What's not to love?
A Star is Born--Babs and the yummy looking Kris Kristofferson. "The black black widow is sitting in the middle of the web it's the fly she seeks..'
The Way We Were--"Hubble? Hubble Gardener?" It's the final scene that does it for me...the way Babs smoothes Redford's hair. I like second banana actor Herb Edelman in this too.

Blowhard Cop
I actually rooted against someone on Deal or No Deal tonight. The contestant was a blowhard cop who called the models "honey," and kept saying over and over, "That's what I'm talking about." He was trying to gain audience sympathy by saying he was shot at, that he wanted to win money for his family in case something should happen to him. Very manipulative. He was offered over a quarter of a million dollars and turned it down saying "I'm greedy." He ended up with $100,000, not too shabby but he could have left with more. That's what I'm talking about.
I saw Michael Chiarello make this the other day--maybe this is what I'll take to my sister's on Thanksgiving. It looked really good.

After the laundry and other assorted housework I was too tired to go to a movie. LP stayed the night with Jordan, he’s supposed to be home soon but I doubt he’ll want to go see Stranger than Fiction with me. BP’s out in California until the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. I gave him Bert and Verbie’s addresses, so expect him for dinner you two. Ha.
The week after Christmas I think my oldest sister, her husband, and BP and I are going to French Lick for a few days. Here’s the link: French Lick. They have revitalized this small quaint town (hometown of basketball great Larry Bird) and renovated the mineral spas and added a casino. It will be a fun two days.
