No it's only her career that's on life support.

That's what I was thinking.

Busy day at the office, but productive. I woke up at 3:00 Am terrified that there was something I hadn't done in time for a client. Turns out I still have 2 weeks. Whew~! I do hate not getting enough sleep, but I'm starting to get used to it. I'll sleep again when I get used to all the new stuff I'm doing.

So, if I'm so important that I should be in Who's Who, why don't they list my entire bio for free....I've always thought it was sort of a scam and usually say no to them, but today I said yes. Oh well, it's tax deductible and the plaque will look good on my waiting room wall.

Better get back to work

A very hot day outside and miserable anywhere except indoors with A/C running.

Again, I wanted to mow the lawn, but it's not going to happen tonight.

I still did not get my copy of the Blu-ray 300 today. I did get three other Blu-rays, but I guess 300 will get here tomorrow.

No time to watch it now anyway. When it comes, however, it'll go on top of the immediate "fun" stack of movies.

MBarnum · « **Reply #156 on:** August 02, 2007, 01:16:45 PM »

I have the DVD of 300 SPARTANS...I guess I should someday watch it...and if I like it maybe I will see 300...but I am afraid of the gore.

Matt H. · « **Reply #157 on:** August 02, 2007, 01:22:03 PM »

After I got in from lunch, I put on WILD HOGS.

I didn't see this in the theater, but it's a thoroughly mediocre, predictable comedy very much in the Disney tradition (e.g. hot marshmallow flung onto a tent, burning a hole in through the tent, dropping onto bedding inside which starts a fire and then one character trying to douse the fire with gasoline).

Nice to see Jill Hennessy, John C. McGinley, and Marisa Tomei in OK roles, but Ray Liotta plays the leader of a rough biker gang, and the entire time I'm watching him (trying to be tough and scary), I kept remembering him as a truly scary creep in SOMETHING WILD. In this, he's about as frightening as a slug.

From what I've read (I haven't seen it either, but the director did such interesting things in SIN CITY that I wanted to have this; plus, the men are HOT), the gore quotient is very high.

Matt H. · « **Reply #160 on:** August 02, 2007, 01:26:28 PM »

I restarted WILD HOGS to listen to the director and screenwriter's commentary track. Of course, it's a love fest between them, their cast, crew, etc.

There's a making of documentary on there plus a featurette about how to persuade your wife to let you buy a motorcycle. There are also deleted scenes/outtakes and a separate section of bloopers. So all those features should keep me occupied tonight until MAD MEN comes on. (I'll record BURN NOTICE so I can see it tomorrow with no commercials.)

My HD DVD of "King Kong" (through Amazon.com marketplace at a VERY good price) arrived today!

I did end up having to trek over to LACC for a brief meeting - I'm just not going to know anything for a couple of weeks, but we're proceeding because there's nothing else to be done until we sort it all out.

True, but that's too bad. Better thicker grass than me in the hospital with heat stroke.

Back from driving about halfway to Milwaukee and I'm proud to report that I found both of the places that I'd Mapquested before leaving Ohio

At the Lang Factory Store, I bought little gifts for several family members and, for myself, a Reading Angel. At the Lands' End Inlet Store, I found some sleepwear and a pair of my favorite old-style (before they started having them made in China) khaki pants. I'm a happy shopper.

Went back to our apt. for lunch and to dress up a little for today's Evening Prayer service, at which DH Richard and his classmates will matriculate (not sure exactly what that means). Afterwards, the school is throwing a Matriculation Celebration Dinner for students and spouses, so it must be something pretty special.

Matt H. · « **Reply #166 on:** August 02, 2007, 02:13:00 PM »

I started a chapter in HALF BLOOD PRINCE that I didn't get to finish this afternoon while waiting for my ride for lunch, so I'll head down and do that now.

I cleaned the bedroom before lunch, so that chore is taken care of.

WBBL.

BK: I find it amusing that MMM (at FilmsScoreMonthlyMessageboard) is extolling the joys of "Ignore" when it is he, more than almost anyone, who needs to be "Ignored."

Seldom has anyone posted at FSM Message Board with so few clues about tact and approach. That he presumes to tell people how and what to think is intolerable (and I've tasked him for it, and am sure I am on his "Ignore" list because of it), but I will never "Ignore" him because whether he wants to read my posts or not, I'm still gonna give him what-for every time he deserves it!

Good Afternoon!

Back from SoHo... I met up with DR Jason, and he did some shopping at Uniqlo, and then we had lunch at the Spring Street Natural Cafe - at least I think that's what it was called. A very good lunch. We almost had lunch at 'wichcraft... We almost had lunch at Balthazar... But then after walking around a bit, we settled on SSNC.

Then for dessert we headed over to Dean & DeLuca where I picked a "Sweet Basil" Doughnut from the Doughnut Plant. I was just so intrigued by the "Sweet Basil" that I had to give it a try. And it was good. Just enough herb flavor to balance and complement the sugar glaze. And the green tinge to the doughnut and the glaze was actually sort of pretty too. And DR Jason liked the couple of crumbs I gave him also.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #169 on:** August 02, 2007, 02:37:49 PM »

And we even spied Ms. Kelly Rippa heading into some storefront/apartment building too while walking around SoHo. Alas, her husband, Mark Consuelos was not with her. -However, I usually spy Mark at the Time-Warner Center at Columbus Circle - I believe he goes to the Equinox Gym there. He looks good sweaty.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #170 on:** August 02, 2007, 02:40:15 PM »

And speaking of the Time-Warner Center... After heading back uptown, Jason headed to work, and I headed to Whole Foods to pick up some groceries. They have some pretty good sales right now on some of their organic produce. The organic strawberries were actually cheaper than the conventional ones. In any case, I bought blueberries.

And thus concludes my trekking around NYC for the day. Well, for now at least.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #171 on:** August 02, 2007, 02:40:43 PM »

DR Ron Pulliam - Thanks for the "head" vibes. I think.

Congrats to DH Richard on his pending Matriculation!

I am missing SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, but since the judges have already decided that Doofus Danny will win, I am not sorry about it.

This week, they will probably let Dominic go.....the votes are manipulated, DR JENNIFER.....watch the disclaimers at the end of the program.....

And that left wing red pinko show they had last week ended it for me.

I liked last night's show. However, I think "Doofus Danny" really did not get the Hip-Hop routine at all. But, again, it's not up to me, so...

And did Mia's faux-military jacket and Wade Robson's "Peace" solo really cause that much "outrage"? I haven't read any of the boards, so...

Nigel Lithgoe's "apology" sort of caught me off guard.

However, I am loving the Entertainment Weekly recaps and comments by Adam B. Vary.

*And it was also nice to read the "American Idol" non-top-12 finalist Sabrina Sloan has landed a record deal. And her first record will be duets will fellow "AI" contestant, Sundance Head. Should be interesting.

DR Jrand re: SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE

I am surprised that you think Danny is a doofus. I think he is the best dancer on the show.

I am still really confused about what you say is going on with the voting.

The judges don't have any say anymore. But i find it so hard to believe that the show could get away with not having the actual lowest vote-getter go home. Wouldn't word get out?
