Congratulations to Singdaw!! Merry Merrry !

Thanks for all the good vibes. DRLaura predicted correctly that I wouldn't be released from the hospitaluntil it hit 113 degrees. I think it might have been hotter than that. I am indeed lucky to have such a dear friend. She visited with me before the surgery yesterday and stayed at the hospital thoughout the entire operation just to make sure I was OK (even I told her to go home--I didn't expect her to waste the whole day like that).

I am going to hop on down the hall and see if I can get some sleep. It's been a long few days!

Take care, Kerry. So glad to see you are well enough to be home and back with us at HHW

I have the windows and doors open, but it isn't nearly as cool tonight as last night. Maybe it'll cool off more in the next hour or so.

I began my evening of viewing by finishing the CLOSER episode which I had started in the late afternoon. This was the one I felt Sgt. Gabriel might hold against Brenda and end their friendship. So glad it didn't happen that way.

Since the Criterions didn't arrive today, I watched the next movie I had in my stack - STOP-LOSS.

A good picture about a military policy of reenlisting soldiers against their wills to continue active military service even when their contracts are up, it stars the very charismatic Ryan Phillippe. The script gets a bit bogged down in trying to direct focus on too many individuals affected by the Iraq war, but as long as the focus stays on Phillippe's character, the movie is very watchable. Directed by the same woman who did BOYS DON'T CRY.

There were only a few brief bonus features plus the commentary so I was able to get all of them watched this evening. Made me glad I took the afternoon off and just watched stuff for fun.

Gabe's b'day cupcakes

His grandma is having another party for him on Sunday, I bet there will be more cake then!

I ended my evening watching another episode of THE CLOSER. This was the one with the obnoxious bride and the always wonderful Flynn and Provenza. Their showcase episode is always great, and I really enjoyed seeing this again.

Matt H. · « **Reply #309 on:** July 02, 2008, 08:43:30 PM »

Oh, I also watched the deleted scenes and the gag reel on the first disc of THE CLOSER. There is one other bonus featurette that I'll watch tomorrow.

I think Ginny was partially right about why I got sick. I have been pushing myself SO much for the past couple months that I was exhausted and caught the bug that's going around. So I decided the next 4 days are no work allowed days. I am officially on vacation. Then I can return rested and ready to dive in again. I have a feeling I am going to sleep very well tonight.

Matt H. · « **Reply #311 on:** July 02, 2008, 08:56:14 PM »

Heading down now to read a bit and then go to bed.

Good night!

Cillaliz · « **Reply #312 on:** July 02, 2008, 08:56:34 PM »

I'm hoping to get up and get on the road fairly early, but I still have to pack and do some chores around the house before going.

It is good to have DR Kerry back at home. He hops around quite well.

The Des Moines Register site has "the best of" flood photos

I bet this pig was sweating....

Cillaliz · « **Reply #316 on:** July 02, 2008, 09:31:15 PM »

And here's a pig on a shingle

Cillaliz · « **Reply #317 on:** July 02, 2008, 09:33:05 PM »

Which tells you that even if pigs can't sweat, they can swim.

I don't think so. I know that it has the global "new and repeats" or "new only" options and "this channel only" or "all channels," but I don't think that it has a "this time period every week" option...I'm pretty sure. I'll check tonight.

George, there should be a "record as series" option for a tV series.

Today (July 3) is my Mom's 80th birthday, and we will celebrate with my Mom and Dad by going to New Jersey, which is where my brother and sister-in-law live.

The Vegas trip I had planned for my Mom for her 80th (we had gone on her 75th) will not be happening, though, not in July anyway. She's been having terrible arm pain and feels like she doesn't feel up to the five-hour flight.

I left the office at 12:15 am. I photocopied all orchestra parts for two players, 5 copies of Violin 1 & 2, 3 copies of cello, bass, and viola, and taped everything together. Not bad for 8 hours. I have yet to churn out Trumpet 3, Trombone 3, Tuba, Drums, Harp and Celesta. I might be able to finish if I don't go to bed. I just had a cup of rreally strong coffee, and I think I'll take a cold bath.

DR George, I have been peripherally involved with the ALLEGRO recording for the past year: at one point I was asked to make casting suggestions, and I got invited to several sessions in town that I didn't attend: I thought there was enough going on with recording soloistsand chorus that they didn't need extra personnel hanging aroun. The ALLEGRO was recorded at the same time as a complete SOUND OF MUSIC, which has yet to be cast. I hope both are big successes so that R&H will consider doing a complete CAROUSEL and OKLAHOMA!

Well, no one can say we didn't get to page eleven.

Mr. Sean McDermott, much to my surprise, is doing an elmore chart - Love Can't Happen

Of course, we're doing it with piano, bass, and drums.
