I'm thinking maybe a card inside the computer was knocked loose or something. I'll open it up tomorrow night and I think I can fix it.

Actually, I think I'll go open it now. If that's all it is I can fix it in about 5 minutes...Pray for Rosemary's Baby

THAT DARN CAT!!! Boo did some weird running leap, landed on the cords going to my desktop and I can no longer get on the internet from that computer. I was, and am, extremely irritated, but the fact I can get on here means the connection is getting as far as the wireless router which also goes into the desktop. So, I'll have to try to fix it tomorrow. I do have to admit the leap was pretty funny, it's like she wasn't sure whether she wanted to land on the file cabinet (too low) or the desk (too far to the right).

Sounds like something just got loosened during the leap. The easy fix should just be to disconnect everything for a few minutes, unplug the modem, then reconnect and power back up. Otherwise...

...and then wondering why my jaw ached the next day. Mary Janes would cause the same "problem".

If you took your Mary Janes (and the feet within) out of your mouth, your jaw would ache less.

Well, thanks to George and Jane talking about it, Tacoma is now having a mini-blizzard of snow. It arrived just before the deep freeze that is due to settle-in late this evening and last through the weekend.

Maybe I will be online during the day tomorrow - from home!

TA DA!

I disconnected, unplugged and did all that before. So I opened up the computer checked that all connections were tight. Closed it up...no dice...so I uninstalled all my network and ethernet cards restarted the computer and when they reinstalled it worked fine. I'm baffled why that worked, but it did

Boo is now back in good graces and we have played a quick game of chase the laser light around the room

I am now not in the mood to write a motion and brief, so I guess I'll get to work early and do it before I leave town at 10:00 AM

What a semi-disappointing night of TV. Ended up watching three reruns where I expected there to be only two.

I began, however, with the Blu-ray version of FLIGHTPLAN. I saw the movie on Starz! the first time (not in HD; our cable service doesn't offer Starz-HD), so seeing it so clear and sharp was a new experience. I did like the set-up but felt the film fell apart more and more as it progressed. Just too many coincidences to keep me from rolling my eyes a bit. I'll give it to Jodie Foster, though. She obviously believed very deeply in the film because she acts it as though it's a masterpiece of construction. I believed her even when the rest of the film was sort of disintegrating before my eyes.

I knew BONES was going to be a rerun, but it was from this season so I did watch it. As it turned out, it picked up with a serial killer character from the first season (whose episode I just rewatched a week or so ago), so I enjoyed the episode more this second time around since I remembered the character so clearly.

Matt H. · « **Reply #285 on:** January 10, 2007, 08:17:32 PM »

Next I put on VERONICA MARS, the rerun with Patty Hurst as a primary guest star. As the campus rapist story was coming to its conclusion, I thought I had it figured out by the time of this episode. Watching it again, I can see why I went in the wrong direction.

Matt H. · « **Reply #286 on:** January 10, 2007, 08:18:43 PM »

I knew THE KNIGHTS OF PROSPERITY were coming on after the Preident's address, and I flipped over to ABC just as the show was starting. I thought it was very funny tonight as the gang made a desperate attempt to get Mick Jagger's access code.

I know you would never hurt her. We all know you loved her from the very first day we heard about the stray cat you found outside your door.

Matt H. · « **Reply #288 on:** January 10, 2007, 08:20:50 PM »

I was all primed for MEDIUM, and wouldn't you know it? NBC changed its plans at the last minute and substituted a rerun from last season instead of tonight's scheduled new episode.

And I had just watched this episode from the MEDIUM DVD set last week (the one where she dreams about the male child she lost early in her marriage), so I turned it off.

Yeah, I'm a push over...what can I say

I went back to the FLIGHTPLAN Blu-ray disc and watched the special features on the disc, two featurettes about the construction of the model plane and also the interior design for the jet.

One of the things that selected Blu-ray discs have is something called "Movie Showcase" which isolates three reference quality video/audio moments from the film to short cut for friends if you want to show off the system but don't want to run the entire film.

There is also a five minute show piece called "Jet Stream" which is a high definition flight over banks of clouds to watch the sun set. In high def, it's pretty spectacular.

Oh, I went to get some coffee this morning and someone was at the counter ahead of me so I was looking around and saw a bowl of chocolates shaped like the world.

I looked up and noticed it was someone who is a friend, who I've been a little interested in, so I turned around, offered him one and said "Don't ever say I didn't give you the world"

I started to say I was joking but he said "You can't offer the world if you don't plan to deliver" So I put the world on my tab and we had coffee before work. It was a fun way to start the day

I ended the evening watching an episode from Lisa Kudrow's one season HBO comedy THE COMEBACK. How I miss this show! And I have meant to buy the DVD set during one of the various Deep Discount sales. I must remember the next time they have one.

Matt H. · « **Reply #293 on:** January 10, 2007, 08:27:49 PM »

I have cued up for tomorrow THE LAST SAMURAI on Blu-ray. It's a longer film than I thought, so I may not get to it tomorrow.

I am full...I went to my mom's today and she served up a nice pot roast for dinner. Then we watched the Audie Murphy / Susan Cabot western DUEL AT SILVER CREEK.

None of the characters had names...just Brown Eyes or Lightning or The Silver Kid or Johnny Sombrero...it got a bit silly after awhile.

I have been very good at getting to the gym this new year and I plan to stick with it. But boy am I sore!

Last night I got to chatting with one of the bodybuilder guys and his grandfather played in a mariachi band with Steve Reeves back in the 40s or 50s. He works part time as a trainer and we are going to meet next Thursday evening so he can show me a few things.
