I also watched all of the bonus features which included video interviews with three of the featured animators and a very interesting split-screen view of one of the features showing the animatics and storyboards for the short.

We're obviously very much on the same reviewing page on this one--I singled the split-screen extra on "Abigail" out as the best extra. Just curious--was one of the two you didn't care for "Tyger" by any chance?

Two creatures were fighting in my back yard....it scared both me and Dog Bosco...I have never heard such horrible screaching in my life...I knew it was not a cat or a dog...and when I went into the back yard, in the dark (isn't that what they always do in the horror films?), the fight broke up and the horrid screaching stopped...but I could see two eyes looking at me in the darkness over by the tree in my back yard....it was very spooky...

...the screaching sounded like someone was killing a pig with a vulture...but I suspect it was either racoons or some hugantic rodent...or both...fighting over the food in the squirrel feeder.

I made Freddy come inside so he wouldn't get eaten.

Vixmom and The Vixter both look lovely!

I am excited that the Vixter is appearing in so many plays and such! What fun!

Possums, MB.

I had never seen a possum before I moved to the NW. I was living in a little house in NE Portland and we had a garden out back. My girlfriend at the time looked out the window and said, "There's a dog in our garden eating the vegetables." I went running out there to scare it, got up next to it, saw it was a GIGANTIC RODENT (WHICH HAS HISSING AT ME VIOLENTLY) and I turned around and screamed like a girly-man, beating a hasty retreat to the house.

It was lot of fun. There was a DJ (one of the kids) and dancing, some of the kids did some songs, as aprt of the "Ed Sullivan Show" there were 2 skits , one of a Honeymooners episode and one I Love Lucy and a recreation of some of the news stories of the 50's, The beginning of the Korean War, Sputnick, Polio Vaccine, Brown vs Board of Ed, Nixon's Checker's speech, the Giant's winning the Pennant are a few that come to mind

We had a 50's trivia game (our table won so we all received a free Rootbeer float or ice creamcone from the icecream parlor)

The dad of one of the kids is a professional singer specializing in songs of the 50's & 60's and he did a set for us. The we finished up with Kareoke and dancing.. it was a wonderful night .. all this for aonly $5 a head--- and it included soda, chips, veggie platters, water, coffee and cake!

I hope you remembered to strip down to some scanty underclothes before you went exploring - that is an important element in horror films

When the Vixdad and I were first married we lived in an apartment that was the ground floor of a splt level and our landlord, a young single man , lived inteh rest of the house. We were being overrun by stray cats which were mange ridden and nasty so the landlord decied to get a humane trap and catch a few of them and relocate them.

Wewer woken early in the morning by the girly man screams of said LL when he realized he had caught a possum. By time Vixdad wnet out to see what teh ruckus was all about LL had started fillinga garbage pail with water, intending to dropped the trapped possum in a drown it

Vixdad objected strongly and offered to relocate the possum... he lined the back of our Hyundai Elantra with heavy duty trash backs lifted the a cage with a couple of dowels and transported Mr. Possum a few miles away to a large , extremely wooded state park

LOL Vixmom, that was the same thing I thought when I read the post.

Don't think I've told you how proud I am of your weight loss....proud and a little jealous

so do we get a photo of you looking lean and lovely?

Back from The Brain. A fantastic audience - loud, boisterous, and howling with laughter throughout, except for the times when certain cast members got sloppy or inaudible (if the audience can't hear the line they won't laugh - pretty simple). I'm all about consistency in performance and I'm not necessarily fond of when people change up something that works into something that clearly doesn't. I've given note after note about it, but, you know, it's the end of the run and I'm done.

I must now write some notes.

Today, I ushered for a local ballet school's end-of-year showcase. There were some good dancers, and a LOT of family members.

There was an older gentleman who asked if I knew a certain person from high school...I did. It turns out that he was my friend's father! I don't know how he (the father) recognized me, but he did! Tom (my friend) was there, but I never got to say "hi." When I saw him come into the theater, the show was about to start and he and a woman that he was with went right upstairs. I was ushering in the orchestra level. I don't even know if he saw me at all. After the show, he left too quickly. Oh, well. And I don't know if Tom's father will tell him that he saw me.

George · « **Reply #204 on:** June 01, 2008, 12:10:05 AM »

After ushering, I came home for a short bit, changed my shirt and went to a local production of Lips Together, Teeth Apart. I knew three of the four cast members, the director and the assistant director. It was good. Not incredible, but well done.

One real problem with LTTA was that they didn't seem to be used to laughter. $:-\$ The audience would laugh (appropriately) at what was happening, but the actors would just plow right through the dialogue. Lines were lost throughout the show because of that.

George · « **Reply #206 on:** June 01, 2008, 12:15:24 AM »

After that, I came home and watched yesterday's episode of "Good Morning America." I don't remember why I recorded it.

George · « **Reply #207 on:** June 01, 2008, 12:17:27 AM »

I'm a goon...they were supposed to have some behind the scenes stuff from "Lost." They showed alternate occupants of the coffin from the end of the episode.
