I was wide awake at 5:30, and after tossing about for an hour, I decided it was time to move. I am pondering breakfast at the moment.

Post by: elmore3003 on January 06, 2016, 04:11:09 AM: I really want to get back to recording, and I believe i could record a better NIT than the one McGlinn recorded in 2001.

Luckily we found him after a couple hours of searching in the dark. He had heard us calling and ignored us, as cats do. He came out from wherever he was and sat on the block wall when he was ready to come back inside.

Post by: singdaw on January 06, 2016, 10:40:21 AM: My television set is HD, but very old. It only has one HDMI port! Nowadays, there are lots of devices wanting to plug in to your TV. I have a ROKU stick that I won in a contest that I have never been able to use because I didn't want to deal with unhooking the Blu-Ray player.

Well today, I ordered an HDMI port. It plugs into the TV, splitting the one port into 5. Should be mighty convenient.
Title: Re: TEARDOWN IN THE RAIN
Post by: ChasSmith on January 06, 2016, 11:05:30 AM: Do you have a receiver? If so, can you plug everything into that, and let it output (or, in less elegant phraseology, put out) to the TV through the HDMI?

Post by: bk on January 06, 2016, 11:30:43 AM: I'm up, I'm up. These cretins were out there at seven knocking down the final bit - so loud and shaking my house - at that point I'd only had five hours of sleep. It began to rain hard and they seem to stop altogether - maybe the rain broke their equipment or maybe they just finally gave up the ghost and went home to stay dry. So, I fell back asleep until eleven, but have a headache now - just took two aspirin.
Title: Re: TEARDOWN IN THE RAIN

Oy!

When I want to watch some of the news/information/entertainment video clips on Comcast (my Internet provider), they have a string of videos, but you have to watch a 15 or 30 second ad in between each one, and they usually have the same ad in between several clips...and lately it's usually been this one! :P

Post by: elmore3003 on January 06, 2016, 01:42:41 PM: I believe there is a USPS delivery truck driver whose attitude is, I'm making no deliveries. Today is the second day got an email from Amazon saying that the US Post could not deliver another package. That's one for Monday and one for Wednesday. So I just gave the post office and Amazon.com Customer Service a lot of grief about two packages I have not received through their mutual incompetence. The driver, who's supposed to leave a notice of a delivery attempt, is foinf nothing. I think the sonofabitch is ripping off the Postal Servicer and I want him dead. Now.

The situation is ridiculous. I've asked amazon to issue credit and to have the items returned to them. I also told Customer service that I will no longer order from them if the US Postal Service is going to screw up deliveries.

But when I pick up my held mail after travelling, I always check each piece before I leave the post office. I find mail for other people almost every time.

I gather that, in regard to this amazon mess, the packages do not come to my branch post office but to a main PO where they are put onto trucks. After this ass makes no delivery attempt, the package is then taken to my post office for me to pick up. Well, I'm not limping over there to cart two cartons of God alone knows what size home. The driver should have left the packages in my lobby. The fact that he has left no notice of attempted delivery makes me suspect it's the same driver for both days and that he's a lazy schmuck who isn't doing his job.

I want him dead. Along with the bitch at the post office who assured me the package from Monday would be re-delivere yesterday.

Thanks for the advice, though!

We are in a Mercury retrograde until January 25, so there will be problems with electronics and motor cars, and delays in communication.....

Winter is here! It was in the 20s this morning and even colder yesterday morning. But the temps warmed up during the day. 40s expected for the next few days.

It's supposed to be 72 here tomorrow.

Post by: John G. on January 06, 2016, 07:48:24 PM: Starting to watch Eric Rohmer's Marquise of O..., which I haven't seen since high school. It was one of the movies that made me a film fan and a Bruno Ganz fan. I later read and loved the novella. I wonder if I'll still like it.

This was no play, and it had a couple of the "techniques" that BK hates about modern movie making (as do I, and others)...the perpetual shaky cam and whispering ALL THROUGH THE MOVIE were the worst offenses. :P Also, there were three credited screen writers in addition to Shakespeare. I don't think that there were any improvements to the story, or storytelling. I couldn't really follow what was going on.
Title: Re: TEARDOWN IN THE RAIN
Post by: George on January 06, 2016, 10:25:16 PM: The movie was just under two hours, but there was a LOT of silence within those two hours and (again) a LOT of whispering. On the plus side, I thought that the cinematography was beautiful. It seemed to be very much a historical look for the setting. They were not clean, there was a lot of blood (some gratuitous, some not), they were outside in tents, and the shots inside actual buildings and the costumes looked period, for the most part.
