Will we never get to page eleven?

Not for the lazy?

Well...I don't know if anyone has been turned down, but I think that it's supposed to be for people who really need it.

Oh, and DR George - Is there a PARADE in town, London town, that is? ? ?

And I also just got the French movie (16-track) soundtrack to Disney's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" from an Amazon Marketplace seller.

Well, I need to go. There's a condo board meeting tonight at 6:00 pm, and I'm still here at work. Until later.

Ron, the other one I'd really recommend is a two-fer of Herrmann's Hitchcock album (Phase Four - this is the best of all the remasterings), with a brilliant Ernest Gold theme collection from London Records, conducted by Gold. Fabulous sound.

I got this one after you raved it about it several months back!

Ron- I'm not obsessing, this one is for Dakota.

Bryan is currently flying over South Dakota.

Is it on schedule over South Dakota?

I think it is very nice. If Keith's brother weren't there to take my mother-in-law to the library I don't know what she would do. It is too far for her to walk anymore, especially carrying heavy books.

Well, there's the Amazon kindle...holds 200+ books and magazines, delivered wirelessly, and the font size can be increased for better readability!

I did hear heavy snow fell in Seattle, not long after his plane departed.

Holy moley on rye, I mis-added - in fact, I wrote over ten pages this day - which I think is a record in my novel writing.

Ron, don't read this...

Bryan's plane landed, after circling for half an hour, so now I can turn off the computer.

What about Naomi?

It's a terrible thing to admit about a very fine actor, but every time I see Morgan Freeman I think "...and what about Naomi?"

Good Ol' Easy Reader

Well I think I may wander back out to join Vixdad in his viewing of all the goodies contained in his BladeRunner Briefcase... one of his Christmas gifts from his loving wife

I spent the early part of the evening watching THE GAME PLAN again, this time in standard definition. Close-ups fine, medium and long shots soft and a bit smeared. Color OK, but the ballet sequence, which really pops on Blu-ray, was flat and drab on sDVD.

The Blu-ray has a commentary missing on the sDVD, and there are 9 deleted scenes instead of the 12 that are on Blu-ray.

I had about 30 minutes before my TV for the evening was to begin, so I took out the 1998 Olympic Figure Skating DVD which I hadn't watched in awhile. I wish they had done the complete performances of Lu Chen but they only showed very brief highlights of her and Maria Butyrskya (hopeless). The only complete female performances are, of course, by Michelle Kwan and Tara Lipinski, but at least they do show both their long and short programs, and you can use the angle button on the remote to see alternate camera renderings of the programs.

I watched the second episode in TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES. Good show; exciting without the constant attack/destroy of the premiere episode. Looks like it's going to be more like THE FUGITIVE.
