The DP has regulated me to the couch today so I can recover from a cold I've had all weekend. It was a three show weekend, also, so there was not much rest. The audiences seems appreciative of The Full Monty which is nice, although, I think we have had some walk outs. The show is really good. People should see it. The message is stronger now than it was in 2001.

We leave for Walt Disney World after we close the show next Sunday. The DP has never been. I basically booked the trip and told him he was going. I'm thinking that's why he won't let me leave the couch today as he wants a healthy partner for the trip.

~~~~~GET WELL VIBES TO YOU~~~~~~

*And you'll be down in WDW for the Epcot Food & Wine Festival. Soooooo jealous.

Thanks for the get well vibes, DR Jose. The DP is SOOOOO excited about the Food and Wine Festival. Last year, my mom and I had a great time, but I know the experience with the DP will even more exciting. I'll post pics on Facebook, stay tuned!

TOD: That time on COPS when they thought the nice elderly gentleman killed his wife and they dragged him in for questioning and told him they knew he did it because of the blood stain on his shoe so he should just cooperate, and then the lab technician told them the "blood" on his shoes was really strawberry jam and they decided it was an intruder who killed her.

Feel better, Matthew!

By the way, do we know your DP's first name? I can't think of it.

So...

Any thoughts on last night's season premiere of "Brothers & Sisters"?

Interesting set up for the season.

I thought so, too. I watched this before I headed out to lunch and enjoyed the drama. Yes, the Nora/Holly squabbles were as predictable as five day old sour milk, but I'll follow the Kevin/Scotty story and the Kitty/Robert story with great interest. Now to see what else the writers have in store for the other siblings.

Right before I left for lunch, I received the SNOW WHITE Blu-ray/DVD set.

A word of caution for Blu-ray buyers: the regular DVD of the movie is actually the FIRST disc in the case. (Usually the DVD is relegated to the side or rear of the case with the Blu-rays front and center. Not so here as you have to flip the leaf of the disc holder to get to the two Blu-rays. Also, there's no Blu-ray strip across the top of the case. You have to READ to see that it's a combinations DVD/Blu-ray package.

Matt H. · « **Reply #98 on:** September 28, 2009, 01:30:48 PM »

The picture quality was not perfect (quite a few out of focus frames or frames where focus on the edges is softer than in the center). Still, 90% of it looked magical and quite glorious. I had it my head that SNOW WHITE was more pastel than later Disney efforts, but that really isn't true. Some of the backgrounds do appear to be softer watercolors, but the Technicolor is definitely primary for many of the characters and their clothes. Lots of deep reds and blues.

The soundtrack is DTS-HD MA 7.1. They don't have many opportunities to use all seven sound channels due to the antique recording techniques, and often you can tell it's a mono signal being fed to the speakers, but there is occasional spread to the surrounds in the main title and in other music passages.

I guess things DO happen for a reason. I still have the entirety of the second Blu-ray disc to get through before I can file my review, so it's good I won't have HEROES tonight to distract me. If I do have some time left over, I have last night's MAD MEN and DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES I can watch.

Laura · « **Reply #100 on:** September 28, 2009, 01:35:06 PM »

I hope you feel better soon, Matthew, and that Eric doesn't get sick!

DR MBarnum - In case you happen to get home in time to watch today's "Oprah", Bollywood couple Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan are on today's show.

And mine (of the classic ones).

Of the modern ones, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME would rank the highest.

I must hop off-line now and start writing up as much of SNOW WHITE as I can before heading back down the finish disc one and then watch the second Blu-ray disc.

Hoo and Ray - I just woke up from a nap, during which I dreamed we'd just moved into a house with 2 kitchens. Where we actually will be moving - well, for 5 days next month, at least - is the apartment 5 floors above David Letterman's marquee!!!

HHW vibes work, once again. Thanks, everybody!

It transcends explanation...and yet....

Still, they're cousins,
Identical cousins and you'll find,
They laugh alike, they walk alike,
At times they even talk alike —
You can lose your mind,
When cousins are two of a kind.

DR Jennifer - You can drink water today, can't you?

I don't think so. We don't drink anything. Not sure if others do.

I had a pretty easy fast. Was just feeling a tiny bit weak by 5:30pm. But other than that it was pretty easy.

re: last night's THE AMAZING RACE

Quote from: JRand59 on September 28, 2009, 08:09:37 AM

I enjoyed TAR last night. I liked it that my two least favorite couples were in danger within 10 minutes, and I am happy with the first team that was sent packing.....not so much the second team.

I don't like the lawyer and his partner or the old people (why are the OLD people on TAR so damned annoying?) - and I don't like the lying poker players.

So it is shaping up to be an interesting season already. No clear favorite yet for me, although I like the brothers and the Christian couple - and to a point Miss America and her husband.

I did like that they had to do a challenge at the starting line. But i did not like that the last couple got eliminated. It left me with a very bad taste throughout the first half. It's not that the couple eliminated looked that interesting. But i just felt so bad for them.

It does look like it will be a very interesting season. I also do not like the old people (annoying) or the lawyer who yells all the time (very annoying).

I like the team of friends (one guy with aspergers), the team of blondes (that finished the first leg first) where the girl was very athletic, the gay brothers, and i love the poker players. They are so funny!

So far i do not care for the christian couple (not good competitors) or Miss america (she is okay but i was getting sick of her hubby yelling at her).

The duck herding challenge was fun. I did like the idea of them going on a japanese game show. But thought the actual roulette challenge was stupid.

DR Laura i will vote for donny osmond for you tonight!

Oh and for DR Laura and other Donny Osmond fans:

His number on Dancing With the Stars is (it's the same every week):

1-800-868-3405.

Here the show is on from 8-10pm. So you can vote anytime between 8-10:30pm eastern.

I thought maybe DR Laura would want to vote even if she isn't watching.

Thank you, Jennifer.

Back from the comping vocals session - took a little longer than I expected, and we've still got one more to go, but Brent sounds fantastic and now the engineer will get his mixes done and I'll come in and finesse them and do my thing.
