Good news.

I just got a brief e-mail from Dad.  He said I got to him in time, and sent his thanks.

YAY for DR Woody's Da!

Yeah, we got stickers in the last general election but none today.  When I asked about them, the poll worker looked at me as if I had just got off the ship from Mars.

Maybe you should re-consider wearing those blue headphones out in public.

I got a sticker on Sunday that says, "I Made a Difference - So Can You - VOTE," and have worn it both yesterday and today.

I'm not a huge fan of war movies either and I'm assuming when we're talking war we're talking like WWI or II, modern warfare...not necessarily historical films about wars...like the Civil War or Revolutionary or some ancient European war.  Nor films that depict civilians on the homefront or soldiers on leave.  I assume we're talking about soldiers in engaged in battles and modern warfare.

Of that ilk, however, I do have some that I'll watch over and over again:

PATHS OF GLORY
THE GREAT ESCAPE
THE DIRTY DOZEN
LAWRENCE OF ARABIA
GRAND ILLUSION


I forgot Grand Illusion. One of the great films of all time and is my father's all time favorite film. Brilliant on all levels.

I love it, too, but it was the topic of discussion around here the other day when several DRs including bk did not express a liking for it.

I got a sticker when I voted two weeks ago that said "I Voted -- Early." I didn't expect to get anything.

I set the DVR to record CSI: MIAMI last night. I don't know why actually since I haven't been watching the show all season, but maybe I just wanted to see if the regulars were the same or who had been added.

David Caruso is as ridiculous as ever with the sunglasses and terse patter. Thecase wasn't too bad actually, and I didn't guess the murderer's identity though I probably should have suspected this person.

Then I began watching SUPERNATURAL. I watched four episodes from season 3, all in HD on Blu-ray. They looked very sharp and quite wonderful. The sound is Dolby Digital 5.1, so it's good but not a revelation.

As for bonus features, the first three episodes had little behind-the-scenes comments from someone on the crew connected to the episode. They only lasted 2-3 minutes each, but they were a nice little peek behind the cameras.

I should be able to get at least 6 episodes more watched tonight. There are 16 episodes for Season 3, so I should have no trouble finishing with them by tomorrow.

I just wrote a long paragraph about Facebook.  When I read it it just seemed "rude" so it has been deleted.

I just can't be bothered with most of the links etc there.  I have enough trouble keeping up with emails and HHW.  I do check facebook from time to time but am more likely to respond by email.

That said, I have taken the advantage of "chatting" with some people I don't find here these days.

I do appreciate the contacts but I don't know how people find the time.  I'm retired and I don't!

DR tomovoz - I just keep several tabs open, that way I'm on facebook while I'm on HHW while I'm at Scarlet Street while reading All That Chat.  It's not really a matter of time - ah!  a Vincente Minnelli reference!  - it's a matter of multi-tasking.  ;)

I guess fans of GREY'S ANATOMY have read that Brooke Smith who played Dr. Erica Hahn has been released from the show. This Thursday will be her final episode. Haven't read anything about this other than the writers didn't want to write for her character any more.

LOL DR td - it's not the contact or the sites that are the problem (I'm on a few "others") - it's just the add ons! I really can't be bothered even finding out what they mean - let alone how they work!

If you enjoy good voices  and pop music  - David Hobson's "A Little Closer" is a gem as is Grace Knight's "Willow"

Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!

So, I wondered if there was period of time today the cable guy was going to show and I called Time Warner; I was told my appointment was tomorrow at noon, which is not what the young lady told me on Saturday: today at 2 pm.

The next time to deal with this? Saturday 12-4. Goddam it.

Well, I guess you found your something new to rant about!

Caught up with Stephen Poliakoff's "Gideon's Daughter" last night. (It's taken so long to be shown on OZ TV).  I doubt there is a better TV writer/director out there.

Just another reason I loathe and despise Time-Warner. They are a scum-sucking unregulated monoply that provides service at a level below the most muck-filled sewer and if they went out of business tomorrow I, for one, would stand on a rooftop and cheer to the skies.

Just my two cents  ;)

Don't hold back, Ben...tell us how you really feel.
