Notes from the Golden Orange
EppsNet at the Movies: Breakfast at Tiffany’s
19 Jul 2010 / PEMy wife loved this movie. She says Audrey Hepburn is the most beautiful woman who ever lived. She loves “Moon River.” She wants to move to New York because it looks so wonderful. She gives the film five stars.
“What’s your rating?” she asks me.
I was going to deduct a star for George Peppard’s mediocre performance, but after hearing her rave review, I couldn’t do it.
“I give it five stars too, honey,” I said.
EppsNet at the Movies: Bend it Like Beckham
12 Jul 2010 / PEIn keeping with the World Cup theme, we rented Bend it Like Beckham last weekend.
My wife liked it a lot. I liked it too, although I thought the subplot with the soccer coach was baloney.
My favorite song, “Nessun Dorma,” is featured in a key scene.
Two thumbs up!
Happy Birthday, Deborah Harry
1 Jul 2010 / PEHere’s some information that will ruin your day if not your entire life: Deborah Harry is 65 years old today! How is that possible?

- RT @thesulk: In the guy from Your So Vain's defense, that song is about him. #
Aging Boy Bands
29 Jun 2010 / PEA Facebook friend posted some photos from the Backstreet Boys concert in L.A. last weekend. Most of the “boys” now have worse hairlines than I do.
Shouldn’t bands named Boys or Kids be forced to retire when they start to go bald?
Or at least change their name from, say, New Kids on the Block to Old Guys on the Porch?
President Nero
10 Jun 2010 / PELast weeks jobs report tanked the stock market; the president took weeks to assert control of the oil spill that threatens doom on the Gulf Coast — but at the White House the Gatsby-like parties roll on as if happy days were here again.
Quote of the Day
3 Jun 2010 / PEIt’s a little oily, I’ll grant you that. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to present an award to Sir Paul McCartney. Let’s rock!

EppsNet Love Song of the Day: Bargain
31 May 2010 / PEI’d gladly lose me to find you
I’d gladly give up all I had
To find you I’d suffer anything and be gladI’d pay any price just to get you
I’d work all my life and I will
To win you I’d stand naked, stoned and stabbedI’d call that a bargain
The best I ever had

Don’t Underestimate Me
30 Mar 2010 / Lightning EppsNow, each of us has his own special gift
And you know this was meant to be true,
And if you don’t underestimate me,
I won’t underestimate you.
My owner and I took a walk tonight and we saw a woman we’ve seen many times before. She is about 40 years old in human years and a little bit chubby.
Tonight she was playing with a volleyball in front of her house with her kids and another girl. She was very good! She was bumping and setting with aplomb!
“I underestimated her,” my owner said. “She looks like a chubby housewife but she’s also a good volleyball player.”
That happens to me a lot too. As you can see in the photo, I’m not very big compared to some other dogs but I have the heart of a much larger animal.

Chungking Express
10 Jan 2010 / PEIt really takes off about halfway through when Faye Wong shows up. She also sings a charming cover of the Cranberries’ “Dreams” (in Chinese) on the soundtrack.
Delightful!
