Then I watched CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC. Well, comedy is something for individual tastes. I was hoping for a light, fun little romp, and I found it to be heavy-handed, clumsily directed, and rather lame in terms of humor. What a fabulous cast has been assembled for this, but it just didn't work for me for much of it, and the story's manipulation of a "cure" for her and turning down her dream job (and one she would have been perfect for) just didn't ring true.

I did like the "living mannequins," thought that was a bit of inspired surrealism, and Hugh Dancy did his best to play straight man to the ridiculous lunacy going on around him. I was very disappointed in Isla Fisher who was just so frenetic in her desperate bid for laughs. And the character just made me mad owing $16,000 and rather than becoming responsible, just decided to be creative in the ways of dodging her debt (like the people she owed didn't need the money or have their own bills to pay). I didn't find that funny.

The movie wasn't very long, so I had time to watch all of the bonus features, not that there were a ton of them.

There were some productions featurettes about some of the production staff like costume designer Patricia Field. None of them were very long (most about 2-3 minutes each), but they were the only bonuses in HD.

There were three music videos. There were a couple of minutes of bloopers and four deleted scenes. That was about it for bonuses.

Then, I watched another episode of THE CLOSER. This was the one with Brenda's father having the heart attack. It was the first episode back when the season was split in two.

TOnight I'll likely watch BUTCH CASSIDY in Blu-ray. The movie has always looked soft on home video, so I'm not expecting miracles with the HD encode, but I'll be curious to see how it looks.

DR Ben - with the pace you've been keeping lately, I'm not surprised you've come down with something. Hope you feel better soon!

I have returned from a teleconference with my grantwriter friends - today's topic was appealing, but the presentation was weak. The longer I'm away from the nonprofit fundraising realm, the more I wonder if that's where I'll find my encore career...

Matt H. · « **Reply #100 on:** June 19, 2009, 02:04:59 PM »

I must hop off-line now and get some writing done. Then, it'll be back downstairs for a full evening of fun viewing.

I'm home sick today. I could feel Wednesday evening that I was coming down with something. I suffered through yesterday at the office because I had a meeting and other things that needed to be done but I woke up this morning and decided there was no way I was going into work. I called in sick and have spent most of the day in bed. I feel better and I have Saturday and Sunday to recover also. I will be back to work on Monday I"m sure.

I'm glad it didn't happen earlier in the week, what with the Gates and Luce presentation.

I bet you caught something on the train! Feel better.

Got back from an estate sale which was way, way, way out south in the country. Boxes and boxes of junk. Everything 1970s era. Not pretty.

This was taken in Tallinn, Estonia on our 40th anniversary.

It is fun to see my avatar, taken on our 32nd anniversary, next to our 40th photo.

I with you, BK. A pox on bush trimming. Let them flow free and natural.

If we couldn't get Bush trimmed in eight years, I don't think there is much chance it is going to happen now.

Good morning, all! I slept in and I feel good. I'm getting my laundry together and that will begin shortly. After that, I have some gospel writing to do and a trip to the NYPL.

Christine Andreas is a wonderful lady. I don't see her often enough to consider her a friend, but I am quite fond of her.

DR Ginny, who is this Mr Shafor and how did he get involved with the company I started eons ago?

DR JRand 58, I found a remaindered copy of the Brummel book on Amazon yesterday while I was looking for a picture of the DVD. Thanks for your kind offer to find me a copy.

TOD:
DVD: several Mary Martin and Jean Arthur movies
CD: Liz Callaway, Guy Haines, pirated tapes of McGlinn's DUBARRY WAS A LADY and ONE TOUCH OF VENUS
VCR: Cheap porn

Gospel writing? Aren't you afraid of lightening?

TOD - DVD: can you believe that I realized the other day that I have never seen Breakfast at Tiffanys? It came from Netflix and that will be our pizza movie tonight.

A wonderful date movie. I hope you enjoy it!

I cry so many times during that movie!

I have no idea, DR Elmore. Remember, I gave up the stage when Richard and I got married, which was only a couple of years after you left town. I went to the 10-year anniversary of that company and they acted like I was some dinosaur. The Aug. 15 event will be interesting...

A Ginnisauros?

Well, I've been at work, working away and now I must leave. Tonight, we're having a birthday party for my mom, who turned 67 on Tuesday and I have to help. It'll be the first time that my parents see the inside of my sister's new house.

Until later!

re: So you think you can dance

I know a lot of it is popularity. BUT I just feel bad that some people got so popular simply because of their exposure before the Top 20 started. I just don't find it fair.

Why would it be fair? It is a television series, not the Panamanian free elections?
