Vibes to TCB that everything goes well.
JMK, if you have a multi-region DVD player they automatically convert the PAL to NTSC.
In talking further to Zach last night, I overestimated his HUNGER GAMES score. He really did not like it, and evidently none of his classmates did, either. That said, I think they were all expecting that every little jot and tittle of the book would be in the film, which is never the case.
Bruce will be happy to know that I just purchased the book and I got it for $3.79 at the Sony E- Bookstore. I have a Sony Reader, not a Kindle so I was hoping it would be available there as well.
So, what's for dinner tonight?

FURNACE VIBES FOR DR JMK!
Busy all day but nothing done.
Watching the Lucy-Desi 1 hour shows. I must have seen them before but really don't remember some. The Tallulah Bankhead episode is the best, I would say.
Zach is 13. I didn't go to the midnight showing (Betsy did), but her take was there were actually more girls than boys there.
As mentioned, books will be here Monday afternoon and probably ship Tuesday morning. For those who've been waiting for the e book version, the Kindle is available now at amazon (and remember, you can download for free a Kindle app if you don't have Kindle) - it's only 3.99 right now, so check it out.

Some dogs just can't behave in public, Jane. Took me a few years to learn. ;)
I'm surprised the book isn't available at Barnes and Noble. It's usually the Sony store that doesn't have an e-book version.

That was great, John. Who was in the green dress at the end?
What was the book, Jennifer?
I just finished a book where i had an interesting problem.
I loved the book. It was really good and interesting.
BUT there was a reveal near the end that was a big reveal. But it was completely predictable right from the beginning. And the fact that it hadn't been revealed, yet was so obvious to me BUGGED THE HECK OUT OF ME FOR THE ENTIRE book. So i only gave it 4/5. If i had not known the reveal i would have given it 5/5.
Now i have no idea what % of people could predict the reveal. I am so curious about this. I did read some reviews that said they also knew the reveal. But did the rest not?
I know sometimes in books things shock us. And sometimes we think various scenarios could happen but we are not sure. But I was 99% positive that this thing would occur. And it made me enjoy the book less wondering if the author thought people could not figure it out.
I just wish so much that the author had not mentioned something twice in the beginning. Because when it was only mentioned once i really did not put everything together.
I just posted my review for the book above on goodreads. I sort of mentioned that some things were predictable and that it made me enjoy the book less. But i did not want to go into the rant like i did above. Because i know some people read reviews before reading the book. I knew if i said that the end reveal was obvious that then people would be more aware. And they'd probably surely be able to see the reveal coming.
That is also why i didn't name the book here. Although i don't know that too many here read popular recent YA books.
That was great, John. Who was in the green dress at the end?I was thinking it might have been Kate Smith. I wondered that myself.
Great minds, eh?That was great, John. Who was in the green dress at the end?
Kate Smith?
Speaking of Ann Miller, remember this classic commercial?Let's face the chicken gumbo and dance!

I saw another friend today who was stunned at how much weight I have lost. I figured it is about 35 pounds, but she thinks it is a lot more than that.
So, my friend Betzy and I decided that shopping for the recliner would be my first outing after rehab.

And, Ohio State's going to the Final Four - Go, Bucks (she said, reluctantly)!
Thank you, TCB, for all the posts.

Did you need to lose that much weight, TCB? I lost about 20 after my surgery, and I don't think I needed to lose that. I have put back maybe five pounds. I want to keep the rest off, though.
Trivia mavens of HHW. There is a seller on Ebay who insists that this is a photo of Annette Funicello. I know who is ISN'T (Annette) - but WHO is it? ;D

I don't want to write my paper tonight. So, I'm going to take a break. I don't want to write any of my papers now. Maybe tomorrow.
Bob Cole, who wrote A Trip to Coontown back in 1898, the first musical written by, starring and staged by blacks in the U.S. He revolutionized the way blacks could be presented on stage and he always appeared in the most elegant of tuxedos, which was most definitely not the style back then and could have gotten him lynched.I don't want to write my paper tonight.

And what is the subject for tonight's paper?
Once again, I have stunned everyone into not posting.
Good evening. It was a beautiful day here. I went to an estate sale and bought a radio like this. I paid a little more than you can get them on ebay, but it's in perfect conditions, no scratches nothing and the sound is great! It's a reproduction so no tubes etc. Will last longer and goes perfectly with my woodwork. I love itThat's nice.

So if my new thinner self was found fast asleep on the front lawn, what movie title would I be?
Last fall my yard guys cut the yard WAY WAY WAY too short when they were supposed to just be sucking up leaves. Now the part of the yard that the idiot who cut it short was working on is all dead. I watered it this afternoon and bought a bunch of grass seed. My plan is to wait until the next predicted rainfall and I'll put it down the night beforeMine just died in the drought last year. It's coming back somewhat, but most of the yard is covered in lush weeds. But, hey, they're green.

I've been watching lots of house hunters this weekend. I find it so relaxing, lolI have some friends, Doug and Lori Horn of San Antonio, who are going to be on that show. they were shopping for a vacation place in Connecticut.
DR John G, has the drought eased any?Yes. We had a really wet winter and spring has been good, too. So, things are lush and green right now.

Then I came home and watched Carnage. I'm about to watch the pilot episode of the American The Killing - the music for the show is playing over the menu and it's JUST like the music from the Danish version.

Instead of checking the movie "Miss Pettrigrew" out of the library, I checked out the book on CD.
Watching act II of "Into the Woods." That Sondheim guy's pretty good.
Busy all day but nothing done.
