~~~Continued Vibes for Everyone Who Needs Them (especially TCB)!!~~~I'll vibe to that!
And the word of the day is: NYCTOPHOBIA!
AARRGGHH!! Well, late last night, I had "connectivity issues" AGAIN with my cable modem. I called Comcast AGAIN and the guy said that he could see that my modem had reset itself more than a dozen times yesterday! Probably the only thing that I haven't tried so far was to swap out the modem itself, so that's what I'll do tomorrow. THIS had better be the fix for my Internet issues...I hope.
I watched WATER FOR ELEPHANTS last night.
I enjoyed it.
Makes me think it might be fun to have my own pet elephant.
::)
Naw!
Too much shoveling.
;)
Sorry for the news DR TCB.....but hopefully at least the pain injections will work.
DR MBARNUM - I am seriously considering ordering the Science Fiction Dance CD.....most entertaining. Did your DVD of the Invasion of the Planet of Women work on your system?
ASK BK #1
I being reading the West Side Story threads on HTF and getting a good chuckle with most of the comments that are coming. But there is one word that keeps cropping up.
Can you explain what moire is?
ASK BK #2
I asked this last week and I did not see an answer.
ASK BK
Is it necessary these days to have this blurb (or any variations) before a movie starts on DVD or Blu Ray? Some movies with just the movie with no extras, no commentaries also have it.
THE FOLLOWING INTERVIEWS AND COMMENTARIES ARE FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY. THE VIEW AND OPINIONS EXPRESSED THEREIN ARE THOSE OF THE INDIVIDUAL SPEAKERS AND NOT NOT NECESSARYILY REPRESENT THE VIEWS AND OPINIONS OF __________(Fill in the company name) OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILTES OR EMPLOYEES.
Is this to protect from a law suit of some kind?

TOD: Where on the Kritzerland.com home page will we be able to find Peter Filichia's column on Fridays? (I ask because I can look right at something on a website and not see the button I'm supposed to select. I have the same affliction when driving down one-way streets while looking for something that's also supposedly in view. )
Speaking of visiting Mom, I watched last week's AMERICAN HORROR STORY yesterday afternoon. If Zachary Quinto wasn't out before, he sure is now. :) (Yes, I know he's out--that's a joke).

I watched the first two episodes of AHS. I think it's as badly written as GLEE (same producer), but I like the character played by Jessica Lange. She is this show's Sue Sylvester.

I guess I better check this out before it gets cancelled.

Not to worry. It's already been renewed for a 2nd season.

My two favorite new TV shows: "Once Upon A Time" and "Grimm".

OK, but kind of 'meh' IMHO. (http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Water-for-Elephants-Blu-ray/25406/#Review)
Zach completely cracked us up with this comment:
If they make a documentary about Morgan Freeman, who's going to narrate it? :)
Today is Wednesday, November 2, 2011.
Today, Occupy Oakland has called for a citywide strike appealing to everyone to stay away from work and/or school.
I am at work.
Sue me.
Just read Robert Harris review of My Fair Lady. He worked on its original restoration, but he is disappointed with the Blu Ray release, This is another disappointed of a major film classic and Academy Award Winner for Best Picture. First there was West Side Story and now My Fair Lady. These were two films I was looking forward to getting, but now I will forgo getting them.
I'm also disappointed that the re-relase of West Side Story to theaters next week will be reformatted. I will like to know what that means.

Today when my sister Molly visited, she found a Monarch butterfly (I think it is a Monarch) on the sidewalk out front.
It could not fly. She picked it up, and it decided it wanted to rest on her ear for quite sometime.
Page Four Molly's Doggie Dance. ;D

DR Michael S - I know that you trust the "authorities" and their opinions, but couldn't you rent the Blu-Ray discs of "West Side Story" and "My Fair Lady" to see for yourself just how bad and "disappointing" they are to you? And then decide if you'd like to buy - or not buy - a copy for yourself? Yes, the Blu-Ray transfers may not be "ideal", but there's probably something about them that may make them a worthwhile investment.
DR JRand - Is DD Molly a French Bulldog or Pug? -I can never remember which is which.
Good morning. We are out of oatmeal.

It may seem that I bitch about thinga, but I do look into other ways of seeing it before hand.
I would love to rent them first. But I have found that it's difficult to do that where I live.
There are no video rental places around me anymore. Blockbuster and Redbox rental kiosks don't have them. If you have any other suggestions how I can rent a blu ray first please let me know.
Good morning. We are out of oatmeal.
Well, I didn't touch it.

Is Netflix an option for you?

Or maybe a reviewer could send DR Michael S his/her review copy for a few days? Or offer him the disc at a highly discounted price? ;)

Good morning. We are out of oatmeal.
I've been getting inquiries about recording the Appalachian show, and the answer is a qualified yes. I believe that when we retrn from Hilton Head, there will be a recording made of some of the numbers for use as a promo CD to attract investors. We're still regarding this South Carolina production as a tryout to see how the show plays before an audience, what they like, dislike, etc. Before we can do anything major with it, we have to deal with clearances from publishers for some of the songs, and we may have to rethink things in the piece So many things are serendipitously falling into place that it's a little scary.
DJ, who's been developing the book with me, came up with a wonderful, subtle job for our returning Prodigal Son/Joseph character that makes a great reference to Joseph's biblical employment as a carpenter, and there's a wonderful musical moment from the ensemble when the miracle occurs inside the "Cherry Tree Carol" that moves me to tears.
Time for me to head out, too. I'm meeting my friend Margo at Red Robin for dinner. After that, I'll go home and install my new cable modem!
Until later!
Just discovered that they posted a couple of our songs from the All America Band concert on Youtube. The video is terrible but the audio is ok; It was a western themed concert so we're all dressed up like cowboys.
