Ughh the time change!

Well i see i have a good 13 pages to catch up from yesterday.

DR Edisaurus i have a question about something you mentioned yesterday. You said that you try never to put spoilers in the promos.

This is really left up to you? I really despise when they give away stuff in the promos. Because either shows give away crucial plot points. Or they mislead like crazy.

Right now the only promos i watch are for shows like Survivor or TAR.

One other point, and maybe it's just me. I love The Closer. But man i wish there was something at the beginning that showed each actor's name with their face. Actually my real wish would be that they would also put their character's names. There are just so many different police people. And i've actually watched very show. But I feel so stupid sometimes. Ever other show i can keep every character name straight. But for some reason I am really bad with this show. If you showed me each actor's face i don't think i could give you very many names off the top of my head!

Good morning!

Another beautiful pre-spring day. When I went out to get the newspaper this morning, I marveled at how it was just like a spring morning ought to be: cool but not cold. Love this weather!

Both of my computers handled the daylight savings time move ahead with no glitches whatsoever. My DVD/VCR combo recorder also switched over with no help from me. I was very impressed with this adapting technology.

I don't have a clue what I'm going to watch this afternoon after IT SHOULD HAPPEN TO YOU. I'd like to start paring down that to-watch shelf by watching at least one disc on it a week.

I saw the DVR recording something last night, but I can't for the life of me remember what I programmed it to get. I know it's going to get AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH tonight.

Matt H. · « **Reply #35 on:** March 11, 2007, 07:42:40 AM »

I read that the daylight savings time move was done to save energy: more daylight hours means less use of light bulbs and other light energy sources. Makes sense to me.

We are going to see the Phoenix Theater production of "Guys and Dolls" this afternoon. One of my favorites.

Matt H. · « **Reply #37 on:** March 11, 2007, 08:27:50 AM »

Guess I'll head down now and make some decisions about what I want to watch this afternoon.

Tonight, new episodes of GREASE, COLD CASE, WITHOUT A TRACE, and ROME for me.

So far, so good here in AZ regarding clocks, computers, etc. etc (we don't need no stinkin' daylight savings times -- we've got plenty of sun to go 'round)...

Woody is blame for my regular use of the Quote funtion - DRs were constanly confusing what I was quoting with what was original thought.

After seeing how composed the auditionees were yesterday, my topic would be:
What is the worst case of stage fright you've ever had?

The absolute worst case I ever had was puzzling because it came out of no where. I was in college and we were doing WE BOMBED IN NEW HAVEN. I had a medium size role, I was an "old hand" in appearing before an audience by then, knew my lines and was completely confident about what I was supposed to do on stage. But the entire afternoon before opening night, I was a mess. I kept shaking, couldn't sit still, could barely eat, and seriously considered not even showing up. Every time I visualized being in costume and on stage, I would cringe and feel like I was just punched in the stomach. Somehow I manage to drag myself to the theatre. As I settled into the pre-show dressing room routine, with the other guys in the show joking and laughing as we put on make up and costumes, the feeling completely dissipated. I went on and had a terrific opening night. And I never had such an anxiety attack again.

I need to go out and buy a new home office chair today. I hope I find one that I like.

Good morning, H/Ks!

I never like giving up an hour for DST--always resent it--and today I am feeling particularly stubborn so I have NOT changed my clocks. My computer time and my watch match perfectly!

Marvelous Matt is here, sanding the guest room floor.

I am actually putting aside BOOKS to get rid of (yard sale, charity, whatever)! BOOKS! Oh, my!

Good morning, fellow Dear Readers. Time change? We don't need no stinkin' time change here in Arizona.

My parents are in Green Valley this month and have had an ongoing argument about changing/not changing the clocks. My dad just can't figure out how Arizona can not change their clocks. It's most amusing. Of course mother was right again

Cillaliz · « **Reply #51 on:** March 11, 2007, 09:38:41 AM »

I greeted the day by sleeping late and then opening a number of windows to let in the fresh air. I'm about to close the last one, it's a little too cold right now, but shouldn't be later. But man, do I love the smell of fresh air

Jeanne · « **Reply #52 on:** March 11, 2007, 09:39:33 AM »

From yesterday:

"Related to DR der Brucer's "Amazon" lament from several days ago: I am going to have to add years to my life to keep up with all the viewing, listening, and reading recommendations from the generous and wonderful people on this board. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!"

SINGDAW, I suspect that many of us have had this same experience. It's a good problem to have!

(OK, DR GEORGE or someone else, pls tell me again how to do a quote from yesterday.)

Time to go get Paul. Since we both slept through breakfast, we're doing lunch today. I'm thinking Da Kao. I'm hungry for some Vietnamese food,

DR JRand,
I'm most interested in your DREAMOMATIC. Is it customized only for certain H/Ks or can anyone use it? Can it be purchased anywhere other than late-night TV?

I presume you are not a Church goer.

Greetings from.... Atlanta! -Well, the airport at least.

DR edisaurus dropped me off here at the airport a little bit ago after taking me out for a wonderful brunch. -She had the ricotta pancakes with blueberry compote and maple syrup, while I had the sweet potato pancakes with caramelized pecans and maple syrup. YUM!!!!

...And since it took me just eight(!) minutes to get from the ticketing counter, through security to my gate, I have a bit of time to read, check up on things, etc... So...
