Haines His Way

In the words of a broken heart it's just emoticons that are takin' me over

Thanks Jose, sounds pretty funny to need closure with a veterenarian, lol.  But yes, I did. Actually, I think I could call him again if I have questions and he'd call me back. The door is still open and that is how I wanted to leave it

Birthday Dog Dixie Bell is also happy to hear news of DC Callie.

DC Callie is sleeping...perhaps dreaming of waltzing with Birthday Dog Dixie Bell

For anyone planning a trip to NYC, here's the latest batch of Service Advisories for the Subway system:

TD, SRK has been working out, hasn't he!

This might be a dumb question. But i'm very curious. What is ENCHANTED?

DR Cillaliz, who did you like tonight on DANCING WITH THE STARS?

I loved the group number.

My favorites are still helio and julianne. Although i thought it was slightly ridiculous that all the judges proclaimed him "back". I thought he was just as good last week.

I thought mel and max were good. But i'm really disappointed in her after samantha said they only rehearsed 6 hours this week.  They did well. And they lucked out. BUt to me, that is not enough effort. It just gave me a really bad feeling about her (although i did think they danced well).

I also thought jane seymour danced pretty well (for what she can do).  And again i found it slightly ridiculous that the judges got mad at her.  They love her slow graceful dances and they have been giving her way too high marks for those.  Yes they do suit her better. But i thought she put a lot more work and steps into the jive tonight.

I also thought jennie did well. Should be interesting to see who goes. I was disappointed in sabrina this week. Although she had a really busy schedule. And at least she tried to fit in as much training as she could.

I would put marie and jane in the B2. But i wonder how many fans sabrina had. Cause she could be in trouble if she doesn't have many.

I like 300 - although it is best taken as a fictionalized version of the event.

I am burning 13 episodes of MAD MEN to DVD to watch as time goes by.

I may be in the minority, but, I found 300 to be a fascinating film, from a technical standpoint alone it's worth seeing at least once. I also didn't find it to be severely homophobic as some others did.  300 doesn't try to be anything other than a graphic novel brought to the screen.

Exactly my thought. As a graphic novel put on screen, I thought it was fantastic. I also found parts of it enormously moving and the effects work was sometimes quite remarkable (I didn't think the CGI animals were great).

My only real complaint was that the battle stuff went on too long for my tastes. The first battles where the army acts as one were stirring. Later, when things get desperate and it's every man for himself, then it became repetitive, and I got antsy watching it.

And, on a purely personal note, there was quite a bit of eye candy there that I wouldn't have wanted to miss.

I began my evening by watching the remainder of the bonus features on the RATATOUILLE DVD. The other cartoon shot YOUR FRIEND THE RAT was entertaining, but it was done very much like a segment of the old WONDERFUL WORLD OF COLOR show.

The three deleted scenes were basically sketches and mock-ups, so they only got that far in the process (though the voices for the scenes were already done). And then there was a featurette where Brad Bird (director of the movie) and chef/cooking advisor Thomas Keller talked about how they run their various workplaces.

So, the two shorts were really the only features of real added value.

Next, I watched another chunk of GIRL CRAZY with John Fricke's commentary turned on. I'm up to the beauty pageant sequence.
