Those of you in places with trees -- I would love to see autumn leaf photos. We don't have trees with autumn leaves in the desert.

I'm looking forward to viewing that child star panel discussion on TCM tomorrow. It's actually recording right now.

I began the evening with JOHNNY GUITAR recorded onto a DVD-R from ENcore. I'm sure the R2 DVD is sharper. This print really seesawed with focus throughout. Perhaps Miss Crawford had them use filters for her close-ups. Whatever, it didn't seem as sharp as the screen captures on HTF.

The color, however, seems to be the same. All the primary colors were vibrant. So, I can certainly make do with this version until the rights holder sees fit to release it in Region 1.

Maybe I'll start packing tonight.

Yes, go for it!

I hope you have a wonderful trip, DR Cillaliz...enjoy NY and give a hug to you-know-who!

THE CLASS had a hilarious episode tonight with a range of stories , many of which made me laugh. I hate to keep harping on her, but the Andrea Anders storyline just doesn't go anywhere. Three weeks in a row now, and it's been an anchor to weigh down the much spritelier performances of the rest of the cast. The running joke with the hurricane reporting was hysterical.

We have an immense ginkgo tree that is stunning when it turns yellow. It will be a few weeks before it happens but I will post a pix when it does. Fall is very beautiful here in the mountains of North Georgia!

I really liked HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER tonight, too. Barney was funny rather than irritating, and the other stories were certainly involving and funny.

Matt H. · « **Reply #188 on:** October 02, 2006, 08:28:58 PM »

HEROES had another frenzied episode with many, many stories broken up into tiny bits. We're still trying to piece together how these stories connect (or if they do), but I certainly did enjoy the hour. I just love those two brothers.

I just got the last two episodes of The Closer to start working with. These will air in December. Just watched the first one...Matt, I think you'll like it!

Matt H. · « **Reply #190 on:** October 02, 2006, 08:30:52 PM »

I should probably start recording STUDIO 60 so I can turn back and catch some of that rapid-paced dialog that flies by while watching in real time. Great lines and the cast is doing a great job with their roles. I especially like Steven Weber, and Bradley Whitford had some good opportunities tonight, too.

So now I'll have to try to find some time during this week to watch WALK THE LINE. I have several hours of programming from tonight to get to tomorrow, so it looks like it's going to be later in the week before I can hope to get to it.

No hints, because I know you don't like spoilers! BTW, when I cut the coming up next spots, I try to make it a point not to give anything away, and in some cases, if the opportunity is there, to deliberately mislead the viewers about aspects of the case so they will be surprised when they watch it. Now every time I work on those I will be picturing you with your head bowed, holding your hands over your ears!

Good Evening!

I'm here! I'm here! In New York City!

I've basically been going non-stop since 8:30 this morning, so...

Now, time to catch up.

It was a lovely time and Jose's appearance was a wonderful surprise.

Jose has developed a special "super power" - he can teleport wherever there is an expectation of good company and dessert!

Well, knowing you're working on them, I may watch them! I really try to avoid previews of episodes, but this is kind of a special case since these two shows are special December shows apart from the rest of the season.

And I've discussed here before that sometimes, seeing the previews is unavoidable if you're waiting for the next show on the same network to come on.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #205 on:** October 02, 2006, 09:05:51 PM »

As DR elmore mentioned, I did make it to Artie's to sup with him and DR Ginny and her DH Richard. It was great seeing all of them again. And Artie's was busy-busy-busy for a Monday - then we realized it was filled with people breaking their fast after observing Yom Kippur.

And, yes, Edgar's Cafe was a perfect place to cap the evening off. My Brownie Cheesecake was more like a Brownie-Fudge-Cheesecake. Truly decadent and delicious.

DerBrucer, I could go with your traffic design...golf carts, electric delivery trucks for limited hours.

It has a flaw, however - there does exist a need to provide appropriate pathways for emergency vehicles (Fire Trucks, Ambulances, Paris Hilton Motorcades, etc.)

So...

My train ride up from DC was uneventful and on-time. However, due to some unexplained incidents the A/C/E trains were all messed up this afternoon. As soon as I got in, I headed back down to Chelsea to get my hair cut. -And I have to say, I got a real good hair cut today. However, since the A/C/E trains were still messed up, it took me about an hour to get back uptown to my apartment - it normally takes me 17 minutes. -Which thus made me a little late to meet the gang at Artie's.

And thus completes my transit adventures for the day. Exciting, huh?

Well, as I mentioned earlier, I've been going since 8:30, and since I'm playing auditions tomorrow for the upcoming Broadway revival of Grease - the one that NBC will be doing the "Star Search"/"Amercian Idol" competition to find Danny and Sandy - well... I need to get some sleep.

Goodnight.
