Well, you've read the notes, the notes took their sweet time, and now it is time to post until the cows come home - they're taking their sweet time and have been for the last five years.

Well, vacation is over. I'm due back at the office today for the first time since November 25th. I'm eating my oatmeal and typing on the laptop in the living room. Ah, the benefits of wireless.

It's been a good vacation and I'm not entirely excited about going back but I do have a bonus check waiting and there are people at the office I enjoy seeing so it won't be all bad.

Oatmeal with fresh strawberries, a banana and raisins.

Ben · « **Reply #5 on:** January 05, 2009, 02:26:55 AM »

And I'll wash the bowl here at home instead of in the office.

I'm all alone in the HHW world so I will tune out and go read some of the New York Times.

When I was recruited to this here site, it was with the understanding that there was a lot of sparkling conversation about a multitude of things concerning film and theater by a diverse group of sparkling members.

One thing I discovered very quickly was that there was great diversity, not to mention cult devotion to some genres, among the members. As the years have passed, there have been shifts among the members and their major interests and, subsequently, the topics of discussion herein.

Many express a curiousity about things they have not been exposed to and often find pleasures they had not heretofore known, while others express disappointment over films or books or play about which much has been said in a positive manner.

All of that being now said, I urge you all to rush out and rent "The Red Shoes" if you have not seen the film. Even if you dislike it (

!!!???!!!???!!), you really should be able to say you've seen it!

I, too, am due back at the office where there are "some" people I enjoy seeing. My vacation has only been since December 13th, but it has been enjoyable and I'm totally not excited about the return, although I am wholly appreciative I have a job to which I "may" return.

It will not, however, happen today. No.

As has been true the past five days of my vacation, I will also remain home today coddling my chest cold and attending to the expulsions of all "the pleg-ma....what gets stuck in da tubes..."

Blunter I cannot be in that regard. I hate that this "thing" got hold of me. I also hate that it has not yet run its course.

The way I feel today, everything is going to be liminal by popular demand.

I am back at my desk. I have already disposed of some work that needed attention. I don't have a pile of work to be done so I'm not swamped.

I almost forgot one of my passwords. In the words of one of my colleagues, that means it must have been a good vacation. I sat at the log in screen for over a minute while I racked my brain trying to think of the unique combination of letters and numbers known only to me (and the IT folks) which would allow me to begin disposing of the aforementioned work. After some struggle, and one wrong attempt, it came back to me and I'm now truly back at the office.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #11 on:** January 05, 2009, 04:28:43 AM »

So, if I feel so bad, what am I doing up at this hour?

Simple.

Ernestina Simple.

No...I am "in between" dosages of my "...breaks up and thins congestion..." medication. I got up to expel some of what had been thinned and broken up. It was truly a throat- and chest-wracking ordeal, after which I discovered I was congested to the point of feeling sinus pressure, so I've taken something to relieve "that", too. And...I'm sending an e-mail to co-workers 'splainin' why they won't see me today.

Last night, I watched "Mamma Mia" on Blu-ray disc.

It was fun. It was beautiful. It made me happy.

I watched the extras, too. Especially a hoot was the music director's comments about Pierce Brosnan's voice.

Totally a hoot!

I recorded "Cold Case", "Desperate Housewives" and "Brothers and Sisters."

I may watch one or two of them later today.

Aww, Ron. I hope you feel better soon. I am glad, though, that you didn't get sick while at "home' with your family.

Thanks, Laura. I'm glad of that, too. I was "sick" during my visit a few years ago, and it wasn't fun. I'll never know at what point I was exposed to this bug. I haven't been around anyone visibly sick, but then I did pick up a bunch of mail at the office and the post office. I handled it all, and who knows "who" had been handling it before I got it!

Oh, and I'm not like a picky kid who won't try something they think they won't like. I'll try almost anything! [Food and otherwise].

I know The Red Shoes is a gap for me, and I even own it!! I've just never found the time to take it down off the shelf and watch it.

TOD: Hmmmmmmmmmmm......by actor, I am assuming we are listing actors of the male gender....so...

Jerry Lewis in The Nutty Professor and The Errand Boy - two separate movies, but a great title for another film.

Cary Grant in My Favorite Wife and Monkey Business, another great title when combined.

W.C. Fields and the Marx Brothers....in all of their movies....but especially You Can't Cheat an Honest Man for the former and Duck Soup for the latter.

Spanky & Alfalfa......

I forgot to mention (since such things are often debated herein) that I am breaking in new pillows. They are the hyper-allergenic kind, of course, and they are very "loft"-y.

The "replaced" pillows are well-deflated and highly scrunchable. I love scrunch in a pillow...it allows me to mold the pillow to meet whatever pressure-point needs I have when I'm going to sleep.

There is no scrunch in these new pillows.

They do, however, sleep well.

The old pillows are on standby, but probably won't be recalled to duty.

I am enjoying oatmeal with raisins.

However, since it comes in a styrofoam bowl from the cafeteria, I shall refrain from washing said bowl.

And for the record, I do feel like I'm missing all the fun.

singdaw · « **Reply #26 on:** January 05, 2009, 05:26:32 AM »

I wonder if there is a measurable scrunchiness rating factor for pillows.

I am beginning to have glimmerings that the emergency tooth repair that my dentist kindly performed on 12/24 may not last. I fear that darned wisdom tooth may have to come out. And I need to hold onto as much wisdom as I can!
