Paint it Red
I'm out of here shortly for a night on the town. I just weighed myself and I am down to 142 pounds (no wonder my pants are basically falling off of me!). That's like a thirty pound loss that I've had since November. Damn, I look good!
You kiddies be good now!

Congrats on the weight loss. Nothing else boosts your self esteem like that does. I am just focusing on maintaining my current weight until after the holidays (I haven't gained one pound and I am thrilled about that).
I will get back on the weight loss track after the New Year.

Hey, congratulations! I just started a diet and am trying to lose about the same amount that you are. I'll use you as an inspiration whenever I'm tempted to have "just one more" holiday baked good.

Singin' in the Rain
I watched Singin' in the Rain tonight - my absolute favorite movie of all time.
If you've never seen this movie - whether you like musicals or not - this is a must-see movie. It's funny, romantic, got great song and dance numbers, and of course, there's the irrepressible, irresistible Gene Kelly (who not only did the singing and dancing, but also arranged all the musical numbers and co-directed).
I just adore this film so much. From the unforgettable image of Gene Kelly standing in the rain, smiling so wide (he actually got really sick while doing that number) to Donald O'Conner hamming it up and running up walls for laughs. To Debbie Reynolds shooting Gene Kelly down in the care and Jean Hagen, so beautiful, but oh, so funny sounding.
I was looking at IMDB info for the movie tonight and I was shocked to find out Kelly was forty when he did it. Forty! I had no idea. I knew that Debbie Reynolds was really young, but she was only twenty when she was in it. Talk about an age discrepancy between the stars, but I never would have guessed.
So, yet again, just me waxing rhapsodic about another of my favorite movies.

I have heard a lot on Singing in the rain, but sad to say I have yet to see yet, despite the musical being staged in Singapore some years back.Now that you have reminded me, I will definitely make it a point to catch the movie version now! BTW, your site is great!

It's one of my absolute favorite films. :)

That's a great movie. I love the old musicals.

Easily my favorite musical of all time. I have the original DVD release and I've been contemplating trading up for the two disc version. I can honestly say I watch this one at least once every two months. Gene Kelly is one of the greatest entertainers of our time.

Singin' in the Rain has always been one of my favourite musicals. That, "Gigi", "An American in Paris", "King and I" and "Royal Wedding". Not in that order... it depends on the day which order they go into.

I LOVE Gene Kelly!

Of course, the most delightful part of the film is how they dubbed the dubber at the end. Although Debbie Reynolds played the character who dubbed Lina Lamont (played by Jean Hagen), in fact another actress dubbed Debbie's voice in the last number (a sort of cinematic joke of the director, no doubt). My favorite line (among many): "Why, I make more money than - than - than Calvin Coolidge, put together!" I still won't forget the vaudeville dancers playing Fit as a Fiddle or Moses Supposes. Oh, how I miss that movie. BTW, another hilarious music comedy I recommend is Hear My Song (Irish). It's the Irish Singin in the Rain. These kinds of movies are great mood picker uppers!

I love Gene Kelly - so handsome.. he could sing, dance ::sigh:: My girls, 7 and 3, love watching it with me. They giggle over Jean Hagen's voice and laugh out loud during Donald O'Connor's "Make 'Em Laugh" routine.
They don't make them like they used to make 'em.

Multi-Table Fun
Paradise Poker (where I play online) has recently started multi-table tournaments where literally thousands of players can play against each other.
They had a free one tonight and I had my best placing yet. Out of 2,113 players, I came in 138th place and won the princely sum of $1.00. Still, it's a pretty good finish and I'm pretty proud.

Happy Holidays From Texas
What kind of a holiday season would it be without having a White Trash Christmas?

Partying with the Cybertoad
This Saturday was Elaine's thirtieth birthday party and I was lucky enough to be in attendance for much merriment, margaritas, and piņata bashing (browse her photo album to see what I'm talking about).
What really amused me the most about the photo album were the two pictures I'm in. In the first one I look like some evil demon has possessed me. What the hell is up with that face? In the second one (with Mike) I look like a normal individual. Quite the dichotomy, huh?

I am glad you enjoyed yourself - and don't forget, we also host a New Year's Eve party... :D

I don't think I have ever taken a good picture in my life (even when I was younger and thinner). I try to avoid cameras at all costs.
I hope you are doing alright with all of your current crisises (sp?).
Posted by kdeweb at December 16, 2003 03:09 PM
Sounds and looks like you all had a blast! Hope all is going well on the "Cryptic Entry" front.
