Oh no!!    ROFL    Help!  Save me!!!

Annie,
I LOVE you.  I absolutely LOVE you to pieces! 

Merry Christmas! 


(Email me, baby!)

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but can you use Linux on your system if you also have Win 98 on there??  I mean, oh hell, I don't know WHAT I mean.  Can you have both operating systems on your computer and switch back and forth between them?  Also, obviously all my software runs under Windows - would it run under Linux?

 

...when he was talking to Catherine, I was suddenly aware of how very different a character Bramwell seemed.  His whole attitude and manner of speech were so different from Barnabas - it was really wonderful having a chance to watch him in a different part!

THAT scene was definitely the highlight for me of both those shows yesterday.  JF was so hot.  VERY provocative.  What a good performance!  And that face - and the expressions!  So handsome.

Jeez....the dumb things that go on around here because of DS!!
After we watched the tape (and that particular scene more than once) LAFB was in her room and I barged in there to borrow a pillow.  She immediately asked (in a slightly accusatory tone) if I was planning on lying on her bed - which she did NOT want.
I told her no as I grabbed the pillow and said, "You just want me off your property 'cause your jealous that Bramwell wants ME, and not YOU!"  And we proceeded to argue over him.  LOL  Oy vey.
(She claims he wants her 'cause she's a "sweet young thing.")

What a load of crap!!!

(Am I ever gonna grow up?  Nope, probably not)

In all seriousness, it hardly seems appropriate on a DS forum to assail the man's reputation as a businessman.  Let's stick to the topic at hand, which I believe is his public appearances and performances.

Well, I suppose the only difficulty with this is the fact that during his public appearances he talks about his real estate ventures and his success as a businessman.  LOL

But seriously folks.....his performances.....hmm......
Maybe I'm crazy, but from where I was sitting during Return To Collinwood, I could have sworn I saw a cell phone attached to the waistband of his pants.  Did anyone else see that, or was it something else?  ROTFL  (really added to that "Collinwood aura")
Actually, although I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to him (I think y'all probably know who I was focusing on  ), I recall his performance as pretty damned good.  I also noticed that his voice has not changed at all and it helped add to the DS realism.

Ya know, I had a little bit of a problem with that - the realism.  I think maybe because of all the humor in the play and DS was played straight.  BUT, something hit me maybe around 3/4ths of the way through.  All of a sudden I'm there watching Selby, Parker, Pennock, KLS, Karlen, et al, playing their characters after 35 years and tears started coming to my eyes.  Kinda corny huh?  Did that happen to anyone else?  I sort of had to get control of myself for a minute.  I dunno....maybe because unlike some folks, I didn't start re-watching until about 1999 - didn't even know it had been on throughout most of the 90's.  Dark Shadows was just a fond memory from waaaaay back a couple of lifetimes ago, buried somewhere in the recesses.  I still haven't seen about the first half of the series since it originally aired.  So it was like this huge nostalgic rush or something.   

But ANYWAY, I've drifted way off the topic at hand.
Mr. Davis.  LOL
It seems like he brings out the "I don't know WHAT" in people.   
This is the silliest thing:
I mean, I don't even know this guy, have never met or spoken to him, BUT.....On Sunday at the Fest, I was on my way out, sort of strolling down the hall with my kids, and Roger Davis was coming down the hall in in our direction - moving very quickly, looking like he was going somewhere real important.  Anyway, when he was almost upon us, I blurted out, "Oh my!  It's Roger Davis," for no apparent reason.    (And in a sort of a sarcastically, bored voice)
He said "hi" very quickly and kept moving.  LOL
(I dunno.....LAFB seemed to find it slightly amusing)
I was sort of scratching my head afterwards, thinking, "What the....why in HELL did I do THAT?"  I would never do that at someone I don't know - especially any of the actors! 

Yes, Roger Davis is indeed special.  Only he could elicit something like that from me.  I don't know....it's all a mystery to me.  A baffling mystery.

    

My son treated me to my favorite restaurant, which was gorgeously decorated for Christmas, as well as a complete spa treatment (hourlong massage, too) and my husband, who gave me a dainty diamond tennis bracelet, drove us through whiteout snow conditions!

Wow.  Now that's a NICE birthday.  (Especially the massage!)
It's nice to be reminded you're cherished, isn't it.
Happy Birthday, Robin

love

How do we know that it wasn't written yet?

The thing about Parallel Time is that  many things may be identical to our own band of time, but many will also be different. Who's to say when a particular piece of music was written or even by whom?

Well, I happen to be very familiar with that particular piece.  The small snippet we hear is from a Chopin Ballade, Opus 52 No. 4.
He wrote it during the summer of 1842 and it wasn't published until 1843.     (Hey, but who's counting.)  LOL

According to the timeline provided by (URL), he didn't begin writing it until 1841-1842.  More's the pity that it doesn't state if this is RT or PT.

Wow.  Can you imagine if there really were a whole body of work written in parallel time as well??  Chopin died at such a young age that I've always wondered what wonderful stuff we could have had, had he lived longer.
(Oh, but wait.....ya never know.  His parallel counterpart might have ended up being someone like Bruno Hess or something)

      

...That's like saying my parents had.....well, you know.  They would've never've done that!

Gerard,
I know what you mean.  MINE would never have done that either.  I CAHN'T see it.   

Footnote:  Years ago I asked my mother how she managed to "have 4 children with that man."  (Nosy, aren't I!)
She shook her head with a rather dazed look and said, "I don't know."
