Or creation of. IDEK. Once upon a time, back on LJ, and in my early days in the Doctor Who fandom (and before that, Buffy), I used to write post-ep entries that tended to have crazy speculation in the early parts of the season/series. The start of a new season/series is always a time of […]
Looking at my current bank of vacation time (125 hours, I shit you not; but if you know me, this also shouldn’t be a surprise) plus the fact it’s an odd year, and I realize it’s time I started thinking about planning a big vacation. Not quite Epic Iceland 2015 caliber, but…something. Big vacation is […]
Recently I ate at the City Tavern with visiting family and had some of the DELICIOUS Indian Pepper Pot Soup. I decided that, hell, let’s see what kind of recipes are out there. There’s a bunch. This is nothing like the Tavern’s soup and a bit of a mish mash of various recipes. Basically, it’s […]
Aside from my trip up to the ‘burbs to hang out with Steph on Saturday and experiencing horrific traffic in the city when she went above and beyond and drove me home because SEPTA fucked up the train schedule and the next/last train wasn’t leaving until 11:36 pm, I spend most of my long weekend […]
Originally posted on emerysanborne.com on March 11, 2013. Also the first, and only, blog post to earn me an internet troll comment. Yay? FYI, I’ve still never watched Vernon and Irene Castle or The Barkleys of Broadway, and I’m not sure that I ever will. I managed to fit two more Astaire and Rogers flicks in for the […]
I was doing so well there for a couple weeks. While it’s not Monday, a late post is better than no post at all. Spent a week in Michigan for vacation this year. It was good spending time with Mom and other family. The weather was mostly hot. You didn’t used to have to run […]
Originally posted on emerysanborne.com on March 10, 2013. Well, Astaire and Rogers time. After a year and a half lapse, I’ve resumed working my way through the Astaire and Rogers ouvre. Last weekend was Roberta, Top Hat, and Follow The Fleet; this weekend has so far been Swing Time and likely followed by Shall We Dance […]
Originally posted on emerysanborne.com on October 10, 2011. Continuing with my Astaire and Rogers (re)watch, next in line was The Gay Divorcee, their second film together and first time as leads. This one I had seen before, a few times, and still found it enjoyable. And in addition to Eric Blore who pops up in […]
But it seems to be the type of books I’m drawn to at the moment. Yes, I’ve been reading actual books again. All Everest-centric. It started with Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer, which I’d been meaning to read for ages. I’m a sucker for a cold-based survival tale, like my Northwest Passage and Franklin Expedition […]
Originally posted on emerysanborne.com on October 8, 2011. I finally broke down and bought the two volume Fed Astaire and Ginger Rogers collection (much cheaper than the complete collection of all the movies together, go figure). I’ve seen six of their ten films, first on AMC when it was American Movie Classics in more than […]
