In my DVD player? Every day it's something different. Because I have 400+ DVDs containing movies I've never seen but want to see, my New Year's resolution for 2009 was to see a movie every day. Thus, I just finished watching a week of Dustin Hoffman films, including John and Mary, Midnight Cowboy, Papillon, Wag the Dog, Mad City and Outbreak. I also watched a week of George Sanders movies (and I have enough in my queue for another week for both thespians).
-
DVD - last viewed was "The Orphanage" (everything that "The Others" was not!)
CD: Rebels Without A Cause: Compilation of songs by the likes of Troy Donahue, Sal Mineo, Ted Cassidy, Sally Fields, Jayne Mansfield, Dwayne Hickman and Mamie Van Doran.
Yes it is a Commercially produced CD and would no doubt be of interest to a few DRs.

Good morning, all! after lying awake from around 5:30 am, I decided to get up, attend to my usual morning apartment chores, check my bank balance, and plan my day. This morning, I've got a trip to Toyland to drop off some edits, then a jaunt to the post office to send out several packages, and a stop at the market. After that, it's back to Mr Loesser and his fantastic score.
TOD:
DVD: several operettas (NIGHT IN VENICE, IM WEISSEN ROSSL, and BETTELSTUDENT), a couple of Netflix items, Teahouse of the August Moon
CD: Guy Haines, Enchanted, Liz Callaway, Elizabeth Futral singing operetta, Babes In Toyland
VCR: anthropological studies

I'm listening to the 1920s Radio Network. Laundry tonight after work. Visit with a friend tomorrow. Anthony's preparations for Wisconsin continue apace.
That's all the news from Chelsea

Amy, loved the hat site

Welcome back, Bretty. Hope you're around for a while!!!

Jrand - Our videos have become associated with each other on youtube! The "related videos" that come up when I went to one of my videos included, very high up on the suggestion list, your SPANG video.

LOL...DR FJL.....the wonderful world of technology.

MR BK I am so sad that OSS 117 did not play in any of your DVD players. Sometimes the homegrowns are like that. I would suggest you play it in your computer, but then you might get Greek subtitles.....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

TOD:
DVD - GOG a movie wherein 2 giant Roomba vacuum cleaners are programmed by Russian space ships to take over the world, one scientist at a time.
CD - Shakespeare on Broadway featuring Mr Guy Haines

I guess MR BK will have to spring for the official OSS 117 release.

Here's a link to the NY Times article on the John Williams composition and its performance. It's an interesting article. I think it was a very smart solution, and I remember thinking, how canyou wear gloves and play piano? I couldn't imagine how they played so well in that cold.

TOD:
I'm watching a few of my favorites and a few guilty pleasures: Pleasure of His Company, L.A. Story, Fanny
CD's are some I found stacked around, so I shall listen to a few on my computer and a few in my car as I do errands:
Liz Callaway: The Story Goes On
Dear World (OBC)
Evil Under the Sun (soundtrack)
Three versions of "Follies" (OBC, "The Complete Recording (Revival at Papermill Playhouse- some of which I love, some of which I find strangely lacking), "Follies In Concert," and the London Cast Recording)
I shall check back later-- I need to get cleaned up and do a few early errands I have been putting off.

TOD:
It seems to be a Bruce Kimmel day in my cd player(s):
Emily Skinner/Alice Ripley - Raw at Town Hall - brings back so many wonderful memories of a great night, not to mention a great weekend in NYC
Rodgers & Hammerstein STATE FAIR Fox Classics containing both soundtracks.
DVD:
SPEED RACER - Gosh it looks great! Eye candy forever, but, is there actually a movie in there? ? ? (I've watched only the first forty minutes)
SAAWARIYA - looks great upconverted onto the 52" screen. . .(or however many inches that is).
BOOK(S):
Heller with a Gun - Louis L'Amour, basis of the George Cukor/Sophia Loren movie HELLER IN PINK TIGHTS.
IMPLANT - F. Paul Wilson - NOT a "Repairman Jack" novel, but a taut medical thriller.
DEEP AS THE MARROW - another not-"Repairman Jack" novel from F. Paul Wilson, but a political thriller.
THE DISCOVERY OF HEAVEN - Dutch novel which reminds me, in a GOOD way, of THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING and the works of Umberto Eco.
-
Good morning!
I am looking forward to a sunny day with highs in the 50s. It has been bitterly cold for SO long, and while I like cool weather, this cold snap we've had has not been fun.

I did watch two more episodes this morning. In one, Linda Day (before she became Linda Day-George) and Harold Gould were among the guest stars.
In the second, Gene Hackman was the principal guest star and also on the show were John Randolph and Wayne Rogers.
-
I also enjoyed last night's UGLY BETTY. DR Elmore your friend was good. And reading other comments i had to go and find out who alec mapa was. That storyline was very good and surprising!

There was a lot i liked, and some i liked less. I must say i'm not thrilled about the people on the island jumping through time so often. Most of the off-island stuff was quite fascinating. I liked watching jack and ben together plotting how to get back to the island.
One interesting pairing is sawyer and juliet. I'm enjoying watching their scenes together. And i liked watching kate with sun. I also love desmond and penny. I'm curious who that woman was at the end with ben??? Televisionwithoutpity says she's Mrs. Hawking. But that doesn't mean anything to me. And only 70 hours??

I'm still catching up.™ We finally got around to watching Wednesday's L&O last night and it was fun to see Tony Torn in a little role. Tony was very kind when my Uncle Pat died. Rip had been slated to do the eulogy but, IIRC, was in LA filming Larry Sanders and couldn't come, so Tony came and read a very sweet eulogy that Rip had written.

Re being spied on through email, phone calls, etc:
Is anyone surprised? I expect every communication we have might be intercepted. Even in our own homes.
Now, I don't say this because I'm paranoid, but "they" did bug our local Serial Shooters' apartment to get evidence to catch them.
And I believe that email and cell phones just make it easier.
Personally, I am not worried, because I wear my aluminum foil hat, so it keeps the radio waves out (an Even Mecham reference that probably only Cillaliz and Kerry would remember).

What bothered me about the time-shifting was that it seemed that they stopped indicating the shifts with the flashing lights. After the last known shift (when the hatch was still intact and Daniel spoke with Desmond), we had the flaming arrow attack and then Juliet and Sawyer attacked by the brutal military types--did those events all occur within the same time or were there jumps in-between? That would be even more frightening for the islanders but it's confusing for viewers.
Aside from all that, how many of you thought that we had another Nikki/Paulo on our hands with that Neil guy? LOL!

I say we have a HHW Chocolate Pudding Wrestling Match to resolve the dispute.

So....I've been sworn in as a juror. Today is "dark" for our courtoom and the trial begins bright and early (9 a.m.) Monday.
Two days (count 'em TWO) of interviewing. To seat 12 jurors and 2 alternates, we endured the lengthy questioning procedures of nearly 70 people.
They dismissed 48 people from our original group to get 12 and called in another 60 to find the two alternates they require. Fortunately, the alternates were picked from among the first 6 interviewed. So there's a mercy.
We've been told to expect to begin deliberations sometime on Thursday. The judge does not anticipate we should need more than Friday to come to a verdict.
We shall see.

For what it's worth:
I was amazed at the diversity of backgrounds and the levels of higher education the preponderance of the prospective jurors have. On our jury, there are three PhD's.
There is also the owner of a digital animation studio who does work for a variety of studios, including Pixar.

But, seriously, my brother who puts together computer systems for a living is dealing with a lot of the "havoc" that this latest virus has created.

One of those dismissed was the husband of a woman who is making a documentary on a well-known local lawyer.

Just to be clear, I don't know that I've ever had a problem with my Mac other than the first laptop's (the Powerbook) hard drive dying and having to be replaced. I've never had any problem with the MacBook Pro. The problem has been with the wireless router and the modem. They also tell me that if they change the frequency of the router that I'll never have this problem again. However, if they do that, then the router won't work for the Powerbook, which I still use for all my Garage Band recording and a few other things.

I suspected about the pre-recording, since at one point I heard string vibrato, but saw that the hand on the bridge wasn't producing one.
Still, like DR DtM said, it was a lovely arrangement and seemed to match [and/or enhance] the tone of the proceedings.

I'm awake, at work, and waiting for the "Geography Bee" to conclude so I can get on with my classes. I'm very excited for the day to be over as I was sent a txt recently saying there would be SOUP for dinner, and that is SO EXCITING!
Tomorrow, I have a rehearsal for a production of Into the Woods in which I'm covering brass and WW's on a synth. Scary thing is that it will be a foreign keyboard (as I'm very comfortable playing on my synth) and I'm a picky bitch when it comes to sounds and such, so I'm hoping that it all works out. Or that I can just walk in, do my job and leave without really caring.

DR Ron Pulliam - Does your jury duty happen to "work" with your current workload at work? Will it be easy to catch up on things once you return?
It's no different from going away on a two-week vacation. They let things that can wait build in my inbox and they get agency assistance for things that can't.
I've pretty much given them all a pep talk and told them they CAN figure things out if they get used to the idea that I'm not here to tell them/show them how. It's like that in every work place. I don't like it when folks say, "What will we do if you're not here?" I never tell them exactly what I'd "like" for them to do, so I encourage them to experiment with different means of finding ways of handling stuff.

As an "Oh! By the way":
I have still not recovered form this malady of chest cold hell. While I do feel, most of the time, a whole lot better, I still have some rather unsettling moments where I feel sweaty/clammy, nauseous and desperately in need of air and a lie-down.
I had a rather bad 30 minutes in court yesterday after lunch during which time I was fighting to keep my head up and my eyes open along with feeling clammy and nauseous. This was relieved by a short break as the judge met with one prospective juror and the attorneys in her chambers. I was able to get some water, stand up and stretch and my sense of well-being was restored.

Re being spied on through email, phone calls, etc:
Is anyone surprised? I expect every communication we have might be intercepted. Even in our own homes.
Now, I don't say this because I'm paranoid, but "they" did bug our local Serial Shooters' apartment to get evidence to catch them.
And I believe that email and cell phones just make it easier.
Personally, I am not worried, because I wear my aluminum foil hat, so it keeps the radio waves out (an Even Mecham reference that probably only Cillaliz and Kerry would remember).
Yeah, but it didn't work for Mecham, they still intercepted his brain waves. :)
I've seen intecepted communications in court and in discovery files for years. They can't always get them into evidence, but it doesn't mean they don't have them. I also know that in some of our courtrooms and public buildings there are mics in places and they can be monitored if they want to. I don't know if they do, but they can. I don't assume anything is private anymore,

dR Jose was kind enough to post a story about a new PC virus...and taking, yet again, another opportunity to express his delight that he has a MAC.
I'm forced to point out, however, that in all the years I've posted to this forum, I've had NOWHERE near the kinds of problems that our MAC users have posted about.
So....there it is.

So....I've been sworn in as a juror. Today is "dark" for our courtoom and the trial begins bright and early (9 a.m.) Monday.
Two days (count 'em TWO) of interviewing. To seat 12 jurors and 2 alternates, we endured the lengthy questioning procedures of nearly 70 people.
They dismissed 48 people from our original group to get 12 and called in another 60 to find the two alternates they require. Fortunately, the alternates were picked from among the first 6 interviewed. So there's a mercy.
We've been told to expect to begin deliberations sometime on Thursday. The judge does not anticipate we should need more than Friday to come to a verdict.
We shall see.
Enjoy DR Ron, I think it would be very interesting to be on a jury panel, but alas, I don't think I will ever be selected

I think electronic intercepts are much like some forms of interrogation - balancing the admissibility of trial evidence against the intel value of the data obtained. At times, losing conviction opportunities is a price worth paying for the intel.

I especially loved the music that was tracked from the season 4 final episode. Each season, composer Michael Giacchino has turned in superlative work on each episode...and each season's motifs seem to become more complex and driven. The new season 5 opener was amazing, IMO. I still have trouble imagining that the folks on the island have been time-shifting for three whole years, although they haven't made it clear yet whether it has been three years "on" the island. Remember that the freighter's doctor was alive and well on the freighter shortly after his body washed up on the island, so something was amiss even before the island began shifting. Hopefully, the resolution will be that those on the island never had to deal with the actual 3-years of time since the island could have shifted sufficiently in the future for them to have experienced only a few days since the freighter exploded while those who were rescued actually lived out a three-year period. At this point, I'm not worried about making sense of everything since the show always "catches me up", so to speak, on new episodes and perspective is given in some way or other that clarifies past mysteries. I, too, wondered as did Dan (the Man) who those folks were who fired fire arrows at the islanders and whether they were the same people, in the same time, as those who had British accents and held guns on some of them as they threatened to chop off Juliet's hand. Vicious bunch, they.... Both Faraday and Charlotte had previously been on the island. I'm wondering how old Faraday "really" is, actually, since he was working there when Ben was a boy...and he looks much younger than Ben. As for Charlotte, I have to wonder if they are going to kill her off or if Faraday will find a way to save her. Overall, I thought the show was as incredibly intense, intelligent and mesmerizing as it has been at any time in its five years. I'm always amazed at how they sustain everything about the show and that it continues to be stimulating and MUST-SEE!

Some "Lost" spoilage follows:
I agree. What is logic in science fiction anyway? It's simply a writer's device to make you believe something not currently possible is actually plausible before you see it happening. In "Lost", the reverse applies. The illogical happens and folks scramble to figure out why....meanwhile, there's a terribly unsettling cabin that's there one minute and not there the next -- and Horace built it, but you know Horace is dead -- and folks who are visited there may or may not be living on the earthly plane.
I LOVE IT!
Some day, I hope we'll get some answers as to who Jacob is and why he took over Horace's cabin.

Obama Hopeful Congress Will Pass Stimulus Plan Despite GOP Resistance (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/01/23/obama-hopeful-congress-pass-stimulus-plan-despite-gop-resistance/)
...
Many Republican lawmakers say the $825 billion package is too costly, and that too much of the spending is for long-range projects that won't aid the economy quickly.
…
Democrats tried to mitigate the impact of a Congressional Budget Office study that questioned administration claims that the money could be spent fast enough to reduce joblessness quickly.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said there was "significant discussion about the CBO numbers."
He said Obama's budget director, Peter Orszag, who recently headed the CBO, told participants that the study analyzed only 40 percent of the pending stimulus bill and that Orszag "would guarantee that at least 75 percent of the bill would go directly into the economy within the first 18 months."
...
Let's look at this for a moment:
If we are going to go burden our children with long-tern debt for this program, than we should try to spend the funds on long-term infrastructure improvements from which our children will benefit.
Funding "shovel-ready" projects will rapidly move lots of bucks into material procurement and labor, without waiting for a lengthy design process.
Even "shovel-ready" projects have performance schedules that last for 3-7years (and some, like mass transit, even longer). A project that spends 75% of its funding in 18 mos is probably a 24-30 month program - so forget about bridges, dams, highways, power-grids, non-fossil fuel power plants, power-grid improvements, mass transit, etc.
In other words, projects that spend most of the funds in a short up-front burst are NOT the projects we want.
However, once long-term infrastructure programs have guaranteed funding, they will immediately kick off private enterprise projects that will ride their coat-tails. (New commercial and residential centers, etc.)
Neither side is thinking clearly!

Many Republican lawmakers say the $825 billion package is too costly, and that too much of the spending is for long-range projects that won't aid the economy quickly.
…
Democrats tried to mitigate the impact of a Congressional Budget Office study that questioned administration claims that the money could be spent fast enough to reduce joblessness quickly.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said there was "significant discussion about the CBO numbers."
He said Obama's budget director, Peter Orszag, who recently headed the CBO, told participants that the study analyzed only 40 percent of the pending stimulus bill and that Orszag "would guarantee that at least 75 percent of the bill would go directly into the economy within the first 18 months."
...
Let's look at this for a moment:
If we are going to go burden our children with long-tern debt for this program, than we should try to spend the funds on long-term infrastructure improvements from which our children will benefit.
Funding "shovel-ready" projects will rapidly move lots of bucks into material procurement and labor, without waiting for a lengthy design process.
Even "shovel-ready" projects have performance schedules that last for 3-7years (and some, like mass transit, even longer). A project that spends 75% of its funding in 18 mos is probably a 24-30 month program - so forget about bridges, dams, highways, power-grids, non-fossil fuel power plants, power-grid improvements, mass transit, etc.
In other words, projects that spend most of the funds in a short up-front burst are NOT the projects we want.
However, once long-term infrastructure programs have guaranteed funding, they will immediately kick off private enterprise projects that will ride their coat-tails. (New commercial and residential centers, etc.)
Neither side is thinking clearly!
der Brucer
The Republicans managed, in the course of 8 years, to get us into this fiscal mess. Whether anyone is capable of thinking clearly or not has yet to be proven. But I sincerely hope we don't actually need more commercial/residential development. For pity's sake, renovate and restore that which already exists and stop ruining the land with developments that will wither and die in a decade.
-
I agree about the need to restore the infrastructure, though.
-
GAW-geous, DR Ginny! Thanks for sharing those photos!! :)
-
Boy, I can't wait to watch this week's "LOST" this weekend so I don't have to keep skipping all the spoilers!
Never watched it, never hope to!
I'm with you DR Elmore.
Then you're both on a dead-end road.
I hope neither of you ever has the opportunity to be riveted to your seat episode after episode. It's certainly much more important to have a couldn't-care-less-attitude toward an unknown quantity than it is to invest any energy in enriching your lives. ;)
I bet ya can't say that again!
Actually, spoeaking realistically, we're all on a dead end road. i need neither a tv show I have no interest in watching nor critics of my decision to remind me. I have a clock and a calendar, both saying you're heading down a dead end road. That's fine as long as they don't tell me repent for the end is near!
-
I agree about the need to restore the infrastructure, though.
I need to restore my infrastructure; that's for sure!
-
And no, it was not DR BrettySpaghetti.
I wouldn't invite him either!
-
Last, but not least, the flower arrangement my aunt sent for birthday/retirement:
Couldn't you have just asked them to send money?

This kid is beat! The packers come yesterday. Two women--and were they fast! I worked, too, deciding what to take to California with me vs what to put into deep storage. I dislike packing even for a simple trip and having to choose what to have with me for the next six months is far worse. Ugh! Enough of my complaints.
The movers came today. They did a great job, too. What a difference it makes! I've had a couple bad moves and am grateful that this has done smoothly so far.
Of course, there WAS glitch. Yesterday afternoon I noticed that the house was rather chilly, but thought at first that it was because the packers had the front door open. A few hours later I realized I had no heat. People unfamiliar with my house often confuse the emergency switch for the boiler with the light switch over the stairs to the basement, so I checked that first. It was on--no problem. I checked everything I could think of, then phoned Matt. He told me what to do, but I couldn't get the front panel off the boiler. It really takes some muscle. Matt promised to come by early this morning, and since the forecast for overnight was 32 degrees, I wasn't worried about my pipes freezing. I spent the night without heat. It was pretty chilly this morning, but Matt arrived right on time. The problem wasn't what he thought it was, but he was able to fix it. A blown fuse!!
You must all be tired of my Marvelous Matt stories by now. But he really has been a Godsend.

So now I am camping out in what used to be my house, on an air mattress, and with no furniture whatsoever. Tomorrow I will give the place a MAJOR cleaning and also try to toss more of those boxes of stuff I've kept, but refuse to pay to store and move. This is Dante's Hell for the pack rat.

Hi, Sing.

But I sincerely hope we don't actually need more commercial/residential development. For pity's sake, renovate and restore that which already exists and stop ruining the land with developments that will wither and die in a decade.
I was thinking along the line of development that pops up around stations when new mass transit lines are built, or development associated with the building of a major power plant in the boonies.
And, at times. new construction makes more sense than rennovate/restore. Where we live there is a major influx of new families which required additional high school space. It turns out it was more cost effective to bull-dose the old school and build a newer, bigger one than to refurb and expand the old one. Also, it is often cheaper to raze/rebuild than it is to rennovate to newer "green" standards.

Back from the post office; I had to mail to my publisher in Los Angeles the 8.5x11 reduction of the manuscript I had Fed Ex'd from Miami University Library this week and the original manuscript back to the library's Special Collections. The piece is finally being engraved and a lot of the proofing I had done on the piece four years ago has mysteriously vanished. I want to get the score satisfactorily engraved because my next goal for the piece is to do an arrangement of the original Men's Chorus version for mixed chorus of sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses. I have a professional chorus in Houston interested in premiering the new arrangement.

I've just noticed my Australia T-Shirt pic is a year old this weekend.

So....I've been sworn in as a juror. Today is "dark" for our courtoom and the trial begins bright and early (9 a.m.) Monday.
Two days (count 'em TWO) of interviewing. To seat 12 jurors and 2 alternates, we endured the lengthy questioning procedures of nearly 70 people.
They dismissed 48 people from our original group to get 12 and called in another 60 to find the two alternates they require. Fortunately, the alternates were picked from among the first 6 interviewed. So there's a mercy.
We've been told to expect to begin deliberations sometime on Thursday. The judge does not anticipate we should need more than Friday to come to a verdict.
We shall see.
Avoiding returning to the office too fast vibes for DR Pulliam!

More seriously, re: keeping track of television programs
There are a lot of shows on television that are wildly popular which, for one reason or another, I have never watched. Seinfeld was one of them, Friends another. I've never watched an episode of 24, although der Brucer has recently discovered the show.
All the same, I try to have some kind of awareness of what these shows are about, if simply so that I don't look like some kind of dork when someone else I know professes a love of a show. I personally would be very uncomfortable condemning a show I've never watched - it would make me feel as if I were condemning anyone who was a fan, and that would be unseemly. Yes, I've slipped up on this stance on occasion. I'm not comfortable with that.
When it comes to the particular, yes, I do watch Lost, or try to. There are times, like last Wednesday, when I end up too tired, and fall asleep. What do I do in cases like this?
I CHEAT!
You heard it here first, kids. I actually seek out the spoilers, in order to find out what has happened, and get a general idea on how to keep up. When I get the chance to actually watch the show, sure, I know what's going to happen in general, but I figure this gives me the chance to watch the actors and listen to the dialogue more closely.
It's not a solution that would work for everyone. But it sure works for me.
(Politely bows to the audience, and steps down from the soap box.)

Hmmm...I wanted to say something smart assed about the Bush Twins' letter to the Obama Girls, but what they say is actually kind of sweet.
Sorry I can't provide a link.
Yes it was.
Well, here's a VIDEO (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/01/23/bush-twins-read-letter-to_n_160318.html) of Barbara and Jenna reading the letter.
Thank you. I had only seen some of the letter.

Tower Plaza is gone now; it is a strip mall with a Wal-Mart. Thomas Mall is gone too; it is a strip mall with a Target. Chris-Town is gone, too. It is a strip mall with a Wal-Mart and a Target.

Last time I was in Phoenix, nothing looked the same. It was weird. It was all strip malls....even some of the former strip malls had been replaces by new strip malls....

We love new stucco buildings out here. Who needs historical buildings when you can tear them down and replace them with stucco?
I'll have to go downtown and take some photos of the nifty new light rail that runs down Central Avenue.

Hi folks!
I'm at Thelma's so I can't use the computer for as long as I do at home but I wanted to pop by and let you know that I'm still around.
I had to empty the entire house by myself but I finished it today. My sheds are full to the bursting.
Sheena had to be put in the dog kennel for the month. With as cold as it has been, I really had no choice in the matter. I couldn't leave her in the cage.
I'm still scared to death and can't wait for this all to be over. I have no walls in my house now. It's totaly bare. I felt a little better when they got done in the kitchen and the bathroom and were able to say that they really were not in that bad of shape.
There are only a few copper pipes that they may have to change out. Other then that, everything seems to be going ok. I just won't be good about it until I'm home.
I'm already somewhat home sick.
I hope everyone here is doing well. I won't have time to read all of the posts and I'm sorry that I'm not up to date on what is going on.

I think I did pretty good getting 30 years worth of stuff out of that house in just 6 days. I told the guys that this isn't 2 Men and a Truck (a local company) this is 1 Woman and a Dog and the dog is management! :)

Don't worry about us, DR Danise! Take care of what's yours for the moment and check in when you can so we know how you are.
-
Great to see you, Danise! Give Thelma a big hug from us and thank her for us for taking care of you. We'll be glad to see your photos when the house is done!

Hi Danise, how nice to see you. I'm impressed with your moving abilities. I hope everything stays safe.
Will you be out of the house for a month? I thought it was going to be less time.

I saw Revolutionary Road tonight. It was pretty depressing. Not sure I'd recommend it to anyone.
-
Darn, Danise is already gone. I'm glad she stopped in with a report. :)
-
Tomorrow I want to see Gran Torino and then on Sunday some friends are coming to town to see The Reader and Slumdog Millionaire. This is nice. I really need some intensive movie therapy and 4 movies in 3 days ought to do it
-
And I may watch In the Bruges tonight. I got it from Netflix
-
Hi, Danise! I sent you a DVD of Obama's Inauguration Concert. I hope you wanted it. :)
-
DR Danise - good to see you. Hope the work goes quickly and smoothly

Was that a Luhr's Building or Tower? One of those? Or around the corner?

Will you be out of the house for a month? I thought it was going to be less time.
Well, things changed a bit. I didn't know the extent that they were going go into. I was told I should be able to move back in after 3 weeks.
I'm just not sure if the 3 weeks counts with this week because I basicly was holding them up on doing what they could do.
I couldn't help it--like I said, I was only 1 person doing all that packing. I didn't have anytime to do anything with a rhyme or reason. It was just stuff garbage bags as full as I could and take them back to the sheds.
I have no idea what is in which bag or which shed they are in. Well, maybe a rough idea.
-

I will and I already have. I don't know what I would do without her!
-
DR Cilla thanks for the movie report. I'll try & avoid it. Please let me know what you think of Bruges. We should be receiving it from NetFlix soon.
-

Well, the administrative offices were in the Luhrs Building. We were in the Luhrs Central Building...the 2 story that was attached to the parking ramp across the street from the ECB

The Luhrs buildings are still there. Seems like they are about the only old buildings left downtown.
-
Hi, Danise! I sent you a DVD of Obama's Inauguration Concert. I hope you wanted it. :)
Thank you, Dr George. I haven't had much of a chance to see anything. I've very tired and Thelma's husband likes to go to bed around nine so I've been going as well--and not really haveing a hard time going to sleep.
I'm just sorry that I'm missing Lost and Battlestar Galatica.
-
Danise did you take the week off of work or do this after hours?
I hope Bill is doing well. Make sure you rest now while the contractors do the work.
-
Can someone please tell me real quick how Dear Vixmom is doing?
-
I'm hoping to see Slumdog Millionaire tomorrow. Of all the movies currently out it is the one I want to see the most.
Last night we watched the original THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL. It is difficult to image the remake is as good, I'm expecting greater special effects with less depth to the story. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.
For tonight we have:
NORTH & SOUTH, disc 1
WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE, season 2, disc 3
BONES & BURN NOTICE

He seems to be doing well. I did take this week off. There was no way I could have done it otherwise and Lord only knows how far back it would have pushed the complete date. It doesn't take them very long tear a wall down. I had 1 day to get everything out of the kitchen and was working on the living room and they were caught up with me in a half a day.
It was a very rough week.
-
DR Cilla thanks for the movie report. I'll try & avoid it. Please let me know what you think of Bruges. We should be receiving it from NetFlix soon.
Well, both of Kate Winslett's movies, "Revolutionary Road" and "The Reader", are far from being "happy, feel good" movies. I think "The Reader" is the more tragic of the two, but "Revolutionary Road" is more sobering.
*And as I mentioned before, the closing moments of "Revolutionary Road" do a wonderful job of summing up the main issue of the movie.

I've read THE READER which helps when you are comparing them. Night before last we watched "You Don't Mess with the Zohan" Thinking about it makes me smile. I think I should only watch happy movies from now on ;)
-
And wasn't this supposed to be the last week of her treatment?
Yes - I believe her last [and therefore most difficult] chemo treatment. Not sure about how long the radiation continues. But she has been posting here and in very good spirits. :)

Greetings to all my friends and family here at HHW. And wow, Bretty Spaghetti is alive and well!
Sorry I have been E & T. We open in one week. I am totally exhausted and have decided that my next theatrical event will be after I retire, or when I go Equity.
Tonight, is our last night off of rehearsal. So, to celebrate, I am climbing into a warm bed (with my kitties) and my script. If you have forgotten that I was doing a show check here.

Mrs. Verrinder-Gedge : Jill Goodman
And Joshua Anderson who plays Cosme is the very same Josh Anderson who directed and music directed Reefer Madness! The Musical! that I was just in! ;D

Tomorrow morning I'm planning to see Gran Torino. The morning matinees are only $5 so I'm planning to take advantage of that.
My wrist is almost completely healed, so if I'm feeling up to it, I will finish hanging the wall paper, maybe prime the bathroom and move everything from the room that will be carpeted to another room or the garage.

According to TVGuide.com, Bionic Woman To Join Doctor Who (http://www.imdb.com/news/ns0000002/) (it's about two-thirds of the way down):
Former The Bionic Woman star Michelle Ryan has landed another sci-fi role - she is to appear in an episode of iconic British TV show Doctor Who.
The actress, who lost her role in the U.S. series after it was axed last summer, will make a cameo appearance in Doctor Who alongside current Time Lord David Tennant.
And the part could reportedly lead to a full-time job on the show when new Doctor, Matt Smith, takes over from Tennant in 2010.
Ryan says, "I'm a huge fan of Doctor Who and very excited to be joining David Tennant and the Doctor Who team.
"It is such a fantastic show and I can't wait to get started."
Executive producer and writer Russell T Davies adds: "Michelle is one of the most sought after young actors in the country and we are delighted to announce that she will be joining the team."

I watched four more episodes of THE INVADERS. I think I've watched 15 episodes now and the first little bit of the 16th episode. That will leave 10 more episodes to go. Don't know if I'll get finished with it tomorrow or if not, Sunday morning.

Pet Spider
Your own pet spider.....gives me the creeps!
Click on the site below, boy will you ever get a surprise. Read instructions below first.....
Poke and prod the spider with your mouse, also 'grab' one of its legs with your mouse and drag it around the screen. Tell me it's not alive!
Also, anywhere on the map put the cursor and then hit the space bar and it leaves little bugs. Watch the spider go after them and when she catches them they disappear; this is totally crazy and creepy too!

This is great! My DH loves it! And it is creepy!

Had some good guest stars in this latest batch. Kent Smith has joined the show as a regular member of David's combat group. Anthony Eisley was in two shows but the aliens finally got him.
In other shows, Carol Lynley was a guest in one, Sally Kellerman in one, and Karen Black and Laurence Naismith in another. I'm thinking this is the youngest I've ever seen Karen Black look.

I ended my evening by watching GHOST WHISPERER, but the first 20 minutes were a very frustrating experience. The local affiliate kept switching back and forth between HD and SD (so the screen would go from 16:9 to 4:3 back and froth every few minutes. Maddening. At one point, I lost the sound and had to turn on the captions. At the 23-minute mark, things were finally normalized and the rest of the show played well, but that first section was god-awful to watch.
As for the show, wonderful. Very involving and kind of beautiful at the end (which, of course, ended about 10 seconds too early for complete audience satisfaction).
