Thinking of going Blu-ray? Hold on for the holidays.

The bad news is that the economy is in a tailspin. The good news is that it might result in plunging prices for consumer electronic products during the coming holiday shopping season, especially for Blu-ray disc players that show movies in high-definition. "There's talk of Blu-ray players hitting $200 pricing or even $149 for older models or less-known brands," said Ross Robin, analyst for NPD Group.

The $149ers probably won't have BD-live, an Internet hookup for downloadable games, IM chat and other online features designed for Blu-ray. But if you care only about watching movies in high-def on your HDTV, you can skip the newfangled online stuff.

AT $149 - I'm in!.

But we are NOT replacing all our DVDs with the Blu-Ray editions.  New stuff, OK, I'm fine by that, but the old titles will remain as they are.

So there!

I was in and out of the 5th Avenue Apple Store in about 20 minutes. Apparently, there was something wrong with the cooling fan circuitry. It booted up fine at the store, and once I get home, I'll start the Time Machine back-up/restore.

*And, yes, I had another dark-haired, blue-eyed Mac Genius today... :)

After I left the Apple Store, I stopped into Patelson's to browse the sheet music bins - it's been a while since I've done any sort of sheet music browsing and/or shopping. I did have a few items in mind, but they did not have them in stock. However, they did have the new-ish editions of the piano music of Claude Debussy. I have read about these editions, but had not held one in my hand for personal inspection. Well, it's a very handsome edition, and price-wise, they're actually cheaper than some of the "Editions Originales" still on the shelves. And if I buy them through the music store I used to work at, well...  In short, I think I may have found my Christmas gift to myself this year. :)

Technically, you just did observe it, and noted the occasion.

Celebrated?  That's something else entirely.

I thought of several DR's today when I was loading footage from "Rhythm on the Range", featuring Frances Farmer. She was so beyoootiful in that.

And I thought of a few more while watching Li'l Abner and Leslie Parrish.

We have the opportunity to interview Abner, who lives in Florida and apparently has some Mercer stories.

TOD: Favorite egg dish: The quiche at Le Pan Quotidien
I cook eggs at home almost every weekend, and usually fix them scrambled, with sauteed onions and tomatoes from my garden, fresh basil, feta and a little tabasco, rooled up in a whole wheat tortilla.

Now that tomato season is over, I will make them with a little non-fat cheese and some mole made by Zolcalo, here in Atlanta. (They sell their mole at the outdoor market near our house.)

I also love eggs florentine!

Favorite egg song: Mercer's "Steal Two Eggs".

Re:  collecting.  As my ever-tolerant DS Betsy will tell you, we have a houseful of FF memorabilia which I've spent more money on than I care to think about, especially in this economic climate.  I do have some very, very rare items, though, including FF's original passport, tons of personal letters and other correspondence, contracts, scripts for several films as well as her own typewritten (with handwritten annotations) scripts for her television series, and on and on.  And that doesn't even include the "standard" stuff like photos, pressbooks, lobby cards, etc.  I really don't know what's going to happen to all of this stuff when I shuffle off this mortal coil, I doubt that any other human other than perhaps JR would have the slightest interest in it.  :)

The list of side effects was sort of scary though.

It is rather disconcerting.

Here we fill out a form that asks if you are allergic to eggs (how appropriate today) and if you are you can't get the shot.  I'm not sure if there is anything else that might cause an immediate reaction.

After complaining for years I add to wait at the allergist office & then experiencing a severe reaction, I would say the wait 15 minute policy is a good one.
