I don't see as many films now as I used to (throughout my teens it was at least twice a week plus any festival/revival, plus a film club once a week), so can't say I notice much how well someone is doing an accent. But what I do notice, and it bugs the heck out of me is, is the un-necessarily put on foreign accent. What I mean is this: an American film (or sound track), taking place, say, in Italy. And *everyone* speaks funny English. Why on Earth? The Italians don't sound funny to one another, when they talk; the only time funny English in translation would make sense would be if a foreigner visited in Italy and spoke Italian... - Tamara P Duvall mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Lexington, Virginia, USA Formerly of Warsaw, Poland To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[lace-chat] :) Fwd: Dead cat.
Speaking of accents... :) From: J.F. A small boy told his teacher that he had found a dead cat behind his house. How did you know the cat was dead? asked the teacher. I pissed in his ear YOU DID WHAT??? How did you do it? I lifted his ear, put my mouth really close and went pssst and he did nothing - Tamara P Duvall mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Lexington, Virginia, USA Formerly of Warsaw, Poland To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace-chat] Secret pal thank you
Dear Secret Pal: I got the package today and was very impressed at how early you were! I mean, it's only the 11th and here is August's package (ok, so now you have a clue about how totally confused I am). How did you know we would be on vacation the first week of August! I was so impressed with your ultra-organization. And, even though I thought it was for August, I ripped into it. Ate the candy immediately, will bathe with the aloe/cucumber soap (the whole package smelled of it, so lovely), will bathe Sunday in the green tea bath salt, will have to put my glasses on to put the tiny Mouse Trap game together (and not drink coffee for a day so I have steady hands), quickly put the lace roll away to use someday when I actually have enough lace to roll up, have found some GREAT instructions for preparing poppy plants by freezing the seeds and then starting them (which is good because my very kind and hardworking gardener keeps clearing away my poppy starts) and to top it all off, the goddess pendant was a bonus. If you can easily get another, that would be lovely because my son appropriated it. That is when I realized this package was a not-so tardy July package. Your special spot for tatting is beautiful and looks much cooler than we have been today. What a treat-- unanticipated presents. Poor memory and organiz- ation has its benefits.
