Jul. 5th, 2007 11:50 amSo, how did I spend my 4th of July? Well, I'm glad you asked!
First I did a little grocery shopping. After I ate some lunch, I went to a Dunkin' Donuts because I had a coupon for a 99 cent soft serve ice cream cone.
I walked to Nordstram rack because there was a sale going on. I ended up getting a top for $27 and a head scarf for about $5.
I knew that I wanted to get dinner from somewhere because it was the 4th of July, so I went up to this place called Heaven on Seven which claims to serve authentic New Orleans food. I'd never been there and I wanted to see if they were still open. They were, so I walked home to deposit my shopping bag and get some money. I decided to call in an order from there than walk to pick it up. I got a Cajun Burger with fries and gumbo and bread pudding. The bread pudding was...well...disappointing. I mean, I've definitely had better. Of course, it's hard to do better than Commander's Palace.
I came home and got all excited because 1776 was coming on Turner Classic Movies. So Robert Osbourne was introducing it:
Him: Now before they released the film to theaters, Warner had a private screening...
Me: With Richard Nixon.
Him: ...with his good friend Richard Nixon...
Me: Made him remove Cool, Considerate Men
Him:...who objected to one of the film's songs. Warner removed it and trimmed a few other scenes Nixon objected to. Well, don't tell Mr. Nixon...
Me: O.O! OMG ARE THEY GOING TO SHOW THE ENTIRE FILM?!?!?!
Him:...but we've inserted these scenes back into the film for tonight's viewing.
Me: *parades around apartment*
Seriously, though, I was so excited because Cool, Considerate Men is one of my favorite songs from the stage show. Also, seeing some of trimmed scenes made some of the continuity much clearer.
