And another shot from the new transfer, which is so orange and yellow that it's like a cartoon.  It should not look like that.  It looks like Ward Bond has jaundice.
John Wayne and Ward Bond on The Simpsons, perhaps?

Today the producer I'm working with on the gold museum documentary and I met with a potential composer. I've never used him before, but he has a nice demo and is an old Marietta boy. When I worked at the country club 30 years ago, his family was one of the few that treated me like a person, not like "the help" or that I was "beneath" them.

It was so rare to be treated as an equal that I remember everyone who did! And I remember this guy as a 12 year old skinny kid.

Now he's a 6' 4" skinny adult with grey hair and several kids!

I have a question for those of you who watch the Food Network.

There is a show here that just started airing on the Canadian Food Network. The Next Iron Chef.  I was wondering (without giving any spoilers) if anyone knew how long ago this show originally aired.  I've seen one episode and i really like it.

Thanks.
Three episodes of six have aired here in the States.

The composer came from a family of dentists and had a very lucrative dental practice but decided to give it up, move to a smaller house (Alton Brown bought his gorgeous, immense old house) and just compose music.

He's eager to do some film scoring (so far he's done a lot of gaming music). He sent me his demo package, which has a huge book on midi scoring that he wrote. He said that I could use it for a doorstop if I like. I liked his attitude, so I hope he'll agree to our measley budget!

I've an early call to work tomorrow... I start at six in the morning!  So I'd better get to bed.  (Fletcher needs someone to cuddle with upon!)

I began my evening tonight by watching the first 100 minutes of WYATT EARP. I've always been a fan of the film, and I'm enjoying the new high definition transfer quite a lot. When I finish, I'll put in the SD to do some A/B comparisons. While the Blu-ray looks very nice, I wouldn't say it's as dimensional as newer transfers that I've seen lately, but it is better than others.

The supplements are exactly the same as those on the SD version. In fact, they've just ported them over from the SD. None of the supplements are in HD at all.

The sound isn't an upgrade either. Standard Dolby Digital 5.1 (though the bitrate for it may be high than on the SD disc. I'll have to check that later.)

Me too, I was a Tuperware lady myself  for a few months about 20 years ago... I also gave Avon a shot... I am  really not a good salesperson though... I found it hard to tell people that they should spend too much money for crap they don't need

DR edisaurus - A free meal is always nice.  An unexpectedly free meal is VERY nice.

*And, yes, I've had my meal "comped" before by someone else.  I've also treated some friends at another table before too.  And I remember one time where the people I was treating ended up treating me too.  :)

Next, I watched ABC's entire line-up of the evening starting with PUSHING DAISIES. This will be my last episode of the show. For what it is (a fantasy with mystery elements), it's well done, but I'm just not getting with the program. So, that will free up an hour for me.

I will hate missing Raul Esparza when his character returns to the show, but I'm going to let this one go.

Oh, FJL I have a story for Skip...

I asked Vixter the other day what she wanted for dinner... she said she was really craving fried chicken but woul;d settle for pork chops... I replied I would be happy to make her some fried chicken and she said. "Not to be mean Mom, but really. when it comes to making fried chicken, you're no Skip Kennon"

PRIVATE PRACTICE again had interesting cases (I guessed about the black girls early on) but absurd stuff with Addison this week. Falling out of bed three mornings in a row having sex dreams? Someone gets paid to write this?

I have really become very fond of Paul Adelstein on the show, so I'm sticking around for him and the interesting patients.

DIRTY SEXY MONEY moved some of the characters forward quite well tonight, so I'll stay with it another week, too.

I did record CSI: NY and LIFE, both of which I'll watch tomorrow along with finishing up with WYATT EARP.

I didn't want Boo to eat it, but Callie is hiding out tonight and Boo found where I set it and she ate it. I didn't have much in the dish, so I'm sure it won't hurt her. Heck with her stomach issues, maybe it will help.

Callie hasn't been eating at all. I'm guessing that the medicine is bothering her stomach. Since she hasn't eaten, there's really no reason for her softener tonight. So I'm going to give her the night off. It's the only bed time med. So I'm going to cut her some slack. Hopefully here appetite will return tomorrow.
