Off to work.

Saturday morning greetings! Why am I up, showered, and dressed so early on my day off? Because I have to be at an online state board meeting at 9am - glad we're not meeting in person or I'd have been on the road for an hour by now!

I'll be back later, but here's something to keep y'all busy in the meantime:

FreeRice

It's an addictive vocabulary quiz that a co-worker introduced me to yesterday.

What lovely photos, Ron! Please keep 'em coming.

Maybe it's because I'm a little kvetchy this weekend, but I'm reminded that WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING gave me a slight case of the creeps. Without giving away spoilers, I found the actions of the Sandra Bullock character to be sick and sad and almost indecently self-centered in light of what was going on in the plot, and that kept me from enjoying what what really a well-made film.

And yet I'm reminded that I really liked JUST LIKE HEAVEN, with Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo, which is similarly based in a sort of obsession with someone the hero hardly knows, maybe because of the tone of the film.

FJL · « **Reply #95 on:** January 05, 2008, 05:50:33 AM »

That two "I'm reminded" posts in a row. I must be getting old-farty and kvetchy.

Only one in the house! Good morning to me.

Good morning, fellow Dear Readers.

I hope California saves some rain for us!

DRs TCD and Edisaurus - thank you for your welcoming me to your high ranks!

DR Sandra - happy belated Goddess!

Thanks for sharing all those photos, SR Ron -- The one of your mom's backyard is especially beautiful. Your family looks very happy to all be together.

Julie · « **Reply #99 on:** January 05, 2008, 07:16:58 AM »

Hope you're feeling better today, Jennifer.

Thanks to Cilla for sharing all about the caucus - very interesting stuff - and you must be exhausted. At least the air waves have now been returned to you!

Welcome back to Vixmom!

Groundhog Day.... Still a fun film after all these years

It's one of the few films that I can watch over and over again without getting board. Whenever I'm flipping channels and it happens to be on, I cna just start watching it at any point and get absorbed into it very quickly.

Julie · « **Reply #102 on:** January 05, 2008, 07:27:55 AM »

DR FJL - why are you feeling so kvetchy?

DR Jose - I think that Liz is playing only Friday night and Saturday night. I can do either, but have a slight preference for Saturday. Can I interest you in the Saturday night show (the 12th)?

Anyone care to join us to see Liz Callaway at the Metropolitan Room?

FJL · « **Reply #105 on:** January 05, 2008, 07:32:43 AM »

It must have been something I ate. I'm having digestive issues beyond the usual stuff. Really nothing major, just making me a litttle kvetchy and krabby.

Hmm, maybe a "But Alive" parody should be in the works, but APPLAUSE is over a month away.

Julie · « **Reply #106 on:** January 05, 2008, 07:36:11 AM »

I'm sorry you're not feeling well. Hope it improves quickly.
Are you staying in this weekend?

Julie · « **Reply #107 on:** January 05, 2008, 07:41:10 AM »

Good morning Dear Reader Laura.

Julie · « **Reply #108 on:** January 05, 2008, 07:42:19 AM »

And good morning to DRs Matt and AMB!

Matt H. · « **Reply #109 on:** January 05, 2008, 07:42:41 AM »

Good morning!

Another cold morning but it promises to be a beautiful day when the sun starts warming things up. Into the 50s today and into the 60s tomorrow. Good times!

We'll see how well Arnold M. Brockman knows the score to Whoop-Up, re word of the day.

Enjoyed the photos, DR Ron Pulliam. Thanks for sharing.

Matt H. · « **Reply #112 on:** January 05, 2008, 07:47:09 AM »

I've liked all of the film comedy suggestions so far. I especially love the Christopher Guest mockumentaries BEST IN SHOW (his best) and WAITING FOR GUFFMAN. Am also a big fan of WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING and FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL.

I liked RUNAWAY BRIDE a lot (and Julia Roberts' other hit film comedy that year NOTTING HILL).

I thought SIDEWAYS was wonderful.

And let's not forget those wonderful Pixar animated films like FINDING NEMO, TOY STORY 2, CARS, and RATATOUILLE.

Matt H. · « **Reply #113 on:** January 05, 2008, 07:48:57 AM »

Today I'll likely continue with BONES episodes while I cook and eat lunch.

Tonight, I'd like to watch CON-AIR on Blu-ray and since it's less than two hours and there don't appear to be a huge number of extras, I'll probably watch either CHILDREN OF MEN (sDVD) or OCEAMS THIRTEEN (Blu-ray).

Matt H. · « **Reply #114 on:** January 05, 2008, 07:50:48 AM »

I'll be heavily concentrating on TV DVD sets for the next week or two. I have OSWALD'S GHOST (the PBS Lee Harvey Oswald documentary) and SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH Season 3 coming up next, and yesterday I received review copies of seasons three for both THE ODD COUPLE and HAWAII-FIVE-O. I have A LOT of TV watching ahead of me!

brian · « **Reply #115 on:** January 05, 2008, 07:55:24 AM »

Fave Comic Flix-SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE, HOT FUZZ, SHAUN OF THE DEAD, GALAXY QUEST< LOCK STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS, and TREMORS(if it's in that time frame)

Julie · « **Reply #116 on:** January 05, 2008, 08:01:18 AM »

Other comedy movies I just end up watching and loving even from the middle are Moonstruck, Sleepless in Seattle, and the old Goldie Hawn movies, such as Seems Like Old Times and Foul Play.

I feel kvetchy

I feel kvetchy and krabby and krass
And you know full well
That sure as all hell
The last line will end up with "ass"

Dear lord, how could I have forgotten HOT FUZZ, one of the best comedies I've seen in a long, long time.

I also loved GALAXY QUEST.

Matt H. · « **Reply #119 on:** January 05, 2008, 08:17:31 AM »

I guess I should head down now and straighten up the bedroom a bit before checking the mail and then deciding what's for lunch.
