Good Afternoon!

Well... I'm taking a little break right now. I just started "de-Nick-efying" my room around Noon, and just kept going. I got most of his stuff stashed away and/or hidden, and I just have to clear out his CDs and DVDs from the desk. -There are a lot of CDs and DVDs crammed in there. And then I'll set up my shelves, and then...

However, in the meantime, I've been having a great time hanging out with my roomies. We're all still in our pajamas with our laptops nearby. And I've also been continuing to take hourly snow pics. And even a few of my roomies. Fun!

Our street is more of a side street and doesn't get plowed as regularly, so I guess some folks needed to ski!

That's my new nickname! Side Street[/b].[/i]

Just stepped out to pick up some movies at Blockbuster (more of a Bust, if you ask me), and snapped a couple of pics...

This is the path leading up to our front door...

-Exciting, huh?

And a car parked near my building.

And this is a pic of iron gate that is our "back door". I took this pic at ground level... I need to be careful the next time I open the doors to take a pic... The snow might start falling in.

Jason · « **Reply #129 on:** February 12, 2006, 12:31:53 PM »

LOL...Jose, you should just set up a tripod and do a time-lapse type of deal.

And as DR FJL noted and someone requested, here's a pic of me and my spiffy haircut:

OH!!! And I did bring up my portable mini-tripod... Hmm...

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #132 on:** February 12, 2006, 12:33:40 PM »

OOHH!! I guess I could put together a flip-book too of all the snow pics!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #133 on:** February 12, 2006, 12:34:57 PM »

OK... I think I'm gonna go ahead and clear out the desk since it really shouldn't take that long...

Laters...

I remember The Big Snow. DR Sandra was in second grade. It melted the second it touched the ground. But that's the only time I have ever seen snow in Phoenix, Arizona.

Great photos, snowdwellers! Glad you're enjoying yourselves!

I have spent a leisurely afternoon watching DVDs and doing laundry.

First up was the MARY TYLER MOORE episode with Nannette Fabray as Mary's mother. In 1973 when this show was filmed, Nannette was still young looking and in great shape. What a shame SHE didn't get the movie of MAME if they weren't going to give it to Angela Lansbury. Of course, neither of them had the name of Lucille Ball, but did Nannette ever tour in MAME?

Next up was a CSI/DVD episode concerning a death by Kodiak bear.

Matt H. · « **Reply #138 on:** February 12, 2006, 01:22:52 PM »

Another CSI episode featured two women covered in tar buried on top of each other in a story involving Russian mail order brides.

I next watched Agatha Christie's THE PALE HORSE, an enjoyable mystery with the murderer fairly easy to spot.

Matt H. · « **Reply #140 on:** February 12, 2006, 01:26:36 PM »

To bring me up to 4 p.m., I watched DADDY LONG LEGS on the Fox Movie Channel. If this is the transfer used in the DVD that bk mentioned the other day, the color was indeed de-saturated. Why would they master this film with color toned down to such inhuman levels? Everyone needed a blood transfusion and the rest of the color was likewise unbearably pale.

bk · « **Reply #141 on:** February 12, 2006, 01:32:45 PM »

Um, if you go back and read my thoughts on the Daddy Long Legs DVD, you will see that I did not, in fact, say that the color was de-saturated - I said the opposite, that it was one of the best scope/color DVD transfers ever - it's incredible and obviously whatever the FMC showed was not the transfer on the upcoming DVD.

I guess I was thinking of BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S with the weak flesh tones. Or did I get that wrong, too?

bk · « **Reply #143 on:** February 12, 2006, 02:08:00 PM »

No, Breakfast is very problematic in my opinion (IMO, in Internet lingo). Naturally, Mr. Robert A. Harris has said it looks perfect. I do think he's lost his marbles or has other motives for saying things that he has to know are not true.

COUNT THREE AND PRAY, or it's alternate title: COUNT THREE AND MARRY THE GIRL YOU THOUGHT WAS 14 FREAKIN' YEARS OLD UNTIL THE LAST FIVE MINUTES OF THE MOVIE WHEN YOU FOUND OUT SHE WAS 18—HOW CONVENIENT.

Joanne Woodward, said youngster in an overripe performance. Van Heflin pretty likable. Raymond Burr dripping evil, along with the nasty Allison Hayes, quite a bitter lady! And lo and behold, the guy who plays Asa Buchanan on One Life to Live in a role of substance.

Best moment: Alison and Raymond, stuck together and defeated, she puts her hand on his hand, and he looks down, then at her like, "What are you doing?"

I prefer it in black and white.. Loved Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday.

Philip Carey.... I like him as an actor....

Good Afternoon!

I still need to attend to the desk drawers and CDs and DVDs... Instead, my roommate Megan heated up some bried, poured some strawberry preserves over it, and opened up a box of melba toast... YUM!!!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #148 on:** February 12, 2006, 02:26:03 PM »

Oh, and the final pics of the day.... since the snow has finally stopped... for now...

4:00PM
