  1. I would call it a waste of film. But I guess waste of pixels is more accurate.
  2. If not, Alternatively: Might pair well with a Grand Cru.
  3. Wait, is that the soundtrack to this movie?
  4. So all the straight guys at the gay club were AI?
  5. R.I.P. Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee. https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/watch/longtime-congresswoman-rep-sheila-jackson-lee-dies-after-battle-with-cancer-215318597909 Fuck Cancer!
  6. Yummy! Even if there isn't any Irish Cream Liqueur in that tea.
  7. I forgot how sultry Suzanne Pleshette's voice was. Right up there with Kathleen Turner.
  8. I loved making mixed tapes, and would tape every album I bought, to try to preserve the original vinyl. But it wasn't the greatest medium. Then MiniDisc came along and revived my love of making mixed 'tapes'. And much easier to carry with you. But all the things I liked have been improved even more as far as portable mediums go. Nostalgia is fine, but I don't really care to go backwards.
  9. I hope for his sake that parking lot isn't on route to the leather bar!
  10. Not open for breakfast, but Marvin's Breakfast Club in Novato is only 4.5 miles from me, and the menu looks good.
  11. I think so, but haven't driven further North to see how close. I'm actually on Lucas Valley Rd. Just about 1 mile off of Nicasio Valley Rd. I think about 4 miles North of the turn off from Sir Francis Drake onto Nicasio Valley Rd. Just looked it up. Looks like I'm 1/4 - 1/2 mile South of it. Is the food any good there? Always looking for a good breakfast place.
  12. That's exactly what it looks like.
  13. That's a great quote! I think my favorite character from the show was his secretary, played by Carol Kester.
  14. I haven't mentioned it before now, because it's been a bit of a scramble, but today I signed a lease on a new apartment. I'm going to miss my current place, but my landlord's Father is getting too old to care for himself completely, and he's going to move into my apartment, so that he can still have some sense of self reliance. But Sheri can better help him out. My new apartment is 20 minutes West/Northwest, in a sleepy town called Nicasio. I use the term town loosely. I'm in the middle of giant Redwood trees. And I do mean in the middle. It's absolutely gorgeous! Maki will have 5 big dogs as neighbors. The landlords are dog softies and have foster failed with each one. Though Maki will have her own fenced yard. And this apartment has a doggy door, which is phenomenal. It's a bit smaller than my current place, but does have a sizable deck overlooking the forest of giant Redwoods, and much more kitchen cabinet space for my abundant kitchen appliance collection. Maki can bark all she wants, and I can crank the music as loud as I want. Currently my apartment is below a house, and that keeps it quite a bit cooler than the house above me. This new place is below a garage with a concrete slab floor, and the trees block out a lot of direct sunlight. So it should be even cooler than this place. It was quite comfortable at 4:00 today. I've had the heater vent blocked since the day I moved in almost 7 years ago. And will never need the heater in the new place. Still have my Alaska blood. Should be in on the first. Will take some pics after getting situated. Nate, do you remember the hike we went on last time you were out here? It's just a little further up the road from there, and very similar surroundings. The only downside is no in-house washer/dryer, but that's not the end of the world. It has two large closets with hanging rods, where my current apartment has none. And as a gay man, I do have an adequate clothing collection. I threw out about 20 pair of old shoes today. So only about 80-90 pair to have to move. Norm Abram would covet my plaid collection. Haven't counted but at least 40-50 plaid shirts alone. 50-60 hats, etc... You know, a perfectly reasonable wardrobe. I did slim my T-shirt collection considerably today, and have about 50 to take to Goodwill/Salvation Army. My 50-60 pair of boxer briefs and 100-120 pair of socks will remain intact. I get nervous with less. I will most likely be thinning my crazy audio cable/adapter collection soon. Will post to give anyone an opportunity to claim any unwanted items. Only 20 minutes from Compound Bedecarre, so Al, Claire and Dorothy won't easily be rid of me.
  15. Those are questions that I'm also interested in.
