~~~~Computer VIBES for MATTH~~~~~~~

The Vixter's team got shellacked by the opposing team yesterday - but I understand from Vixdad that she played well nonetheless - theother team was just bigger and better

The Vixter is off at church - I am now officially staying out of all crowds until my immune system gets back on track sometime in February

vixmom · « **Reply #63 on:** January 11, 2009, 07:51:45 AM »

I have nothing else to report

VIBES to all what needs 'em

OH! Dan - I loved your answer about the citizens of Christmasvillagetown!

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And it's sunny in Richmond.

-Just spent the past hour watching "This Week with George Stephanopoulos". Quite a good round table this morning (I think). Just sayin'.

DR JRand - So... Retrograde until February 1? Really? -I guess that might explain, well... We shall see...

Matt H. · « **Reply #68 on:** January 11, 2009, 08:27:56 AM »

Good morning!

And welcome back to me!

I'm telling you, folks. When you get used to seeing a bunch of friends every day, and then they're no longer there, it's very upsetting. DSL just had a major burp, I guess, and the connection was so slow that pages would time out before they could load. I could access my AOL e-mail, and thanks to those I wrote who lent a sympathetic ear to my plight.

And just to let you know about my priorities, the first place I came to when my full DSL signal was restored was not my place of business but my place of friendship: HHW.

As is often the case with movies, I'll be in the minority here to say that I liked THE DARK KNIGHT very much, more the second time through. Like BATMAN BEGINS, I felt on first viewing that the pieces of the film seemed a bit disconnected from one another, but watching it a second time, I could better appreciate the construction of the film and its impact. I found THE DARK KNIGHT psychologically powerful, burrowing into my consciousness with a razor-like precision that was troubling. To be honest, there was really too much of the Joker for me and not enough Batman, but again, I understood the reasoning behind it, just not what I personally wanted.

The BD is pretty sensational. For those who don't know, the scenes filmed in IMAX have a different aspect ratio on the BD (the DVD retains the 2.40 ratio consistently) from the rest of the film, and they're so involving that they pull you into the movie, the sharpness so spectacular in those scenes that they make your teeth hurt.

Being without the internet for most of yesterday, I was able to get 12 episodes of WALKER TEXAS RANGER watched. I really would love to finish it today, but with the evening so full of TV shows, I doubt I'll finish it until tomorrow making my deadline by one day's grace.

Matt H. · « **Reply #73 on:** January 11, 2009, 08:39:46 AM »

And thanks to those who wished my DSL/computer hookup a swift recovery. Thankfully, it happened!

Matt H. · « **Reply #74 on:** January 11, 2009, 08:40:52 AM »

I also watched PSYCH yesterday. A good enough episode though not enough of Shawn's "psychic" stuff to suit me. I agree with DR Elmore. The case wasn't all that special.

Matt H. · « **Reply #75 on:** January 11, 2009, 08:41:24 AM »

Now, I do need to check my work site and then head down to get the laundry ready for washing and start fixing some lunch.

There's not a lot more to do in Austin this trip.

We've got an appointment at Direct Buy today in the early afternoon to see what they have to offer, then unless wife Sandy wants to set up a couple more appointments with vendors on Monday, we're pretty much finished.

Sorry, I read that as useless wife Sandy. LOL!

Today will be a busy day for me. I'm working backstage at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts for the tour of Moving Out. I'll be helping the wardrobe people. Tour shows are more often scheduled during the week (and I have to use vacation time from my regular job to work on them), so it's nice to have one on the weekend when I don't work. Here's the poster:

It sounds like fun. Will you also get to see the show? I loved it.

For anyone wondering why DR MattH hasn't posted since early Saturday, it's because he's having internet woes.

I'm sure he'll return to us as soon as he can log on and download this here site.

I was wondering & thank you for the update.

Internet woe vibes for DR Matt H!

Sunday morning greetings! We're off to Cincinnati for Richard to officiate at morning prayer. It's entirely possible that I will be the only one in the congregation, as Rob and Mary Linda are at a retreat in Indiana with another church group.

I hope there are more people in the congregations than DR Ginny!!!

Since DR MattH is not here i will say that tonight on tv:

THE GOLDEN GLOBES.

And before it the Red Carpet Show.

Also new DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES and BROTHERS & SISTERS.

I'm rooting for Kyra and THE CLOSER! She needs some good luck after being cleaned out by the Ponzi scheme!

And, IMHO, deserves it.

An excellent idea! I doubt you feel like going out into crowds anyway.

I'm pleased to see my vibes were late & unnecessary. How nice we got you first.

George, hopefully some of the male cast members will have quick costumes changes that you will be able to help them complete.

Well, I remember that during the Broadway run, some of the dressers were on "sweat" patrol. They stood in the wings with towels ready to wipe people down - especially arms and necks - due to all the partnering work they had to do. No slippage!

Welcome back, DR MattH!

*And I'm guessing programming new programming against the "Golden Globes" is not a new thing is it?

TCB - Wanted to check if you saw my post last night on $35 hotel rooms in March (at Imperial palace) and at times $59 in March (at the wonderful - IMHO - Bally's) right in the middle of the strip.

Glad MattH is back among us - such an important part of this here site.

I'm up, the sky is bluer than blue. I didn't go to bed until two, which I must stop doing, but I think I got enough sleep.
