Had a good work session, and shall now go do an errand or three, then be on my way to Hollywood High to judge something or other.

Condolences, DakotaCelt. Losing one's parents is one of those horrible rites of passage we all go through (and many of here have already), so know you're surrounded by the support of people who at least know approximately how you're feeling.

For long-time DRs: JMK, WEL, WFO, Jane and François

ex DR Allan Wood (Bournemouth UK)from the old board, lost his partner to cancer on Saturday. John was a lovely man - DP Colin and I would never have met John nor Allan had it not been for the HHW World.

A reminder of the friendships generated by a visit to BK's "living room".
Allan and I have corresponded regularly (very) since the days of the old board. People may leave HHW but friendships remain.

Good Morning! Good Afternoon!

I'm up, I'm up... And I guess I had sort of a lazy morning. When I got up around 8:00, I decided to do some reading. Well, more like recipe-browsing from the recent issue of Gourmet. Then I started finishing up some articles in other magazines (New York, Time Out New York, etc.) that I had ear-marked earlier in the week. -Most of these I had started reading on the subway, but never had a long enough commute to finish them. Then I dozed off for about another hour, then once I got back up, I took care of my morning ablutions at my leisure.

Sounds like a great day to me!

Back from lunch: Meatball Soup (yum)! Followed by a decidedly delicious portion of Chicken Picata with steamed vegetables and seasoned rice.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Oh dear, it's worse than I thought:

Venus is at the end of Libra and makes a frictional 135-degree link to revolutionary Uranus in Pisces (exact at 1:54AM PST tomorrow). This type of sky pattern can either give you new dynamism in a love connection or jolt you with a shocking turn of events.

Which can translate into "Wow! I didn't know he was into that!"

Season 7 of "Will and Grace" arrived in today's UPS shipment (while I was at lunch)!

I watched most of the first part of "Tin Man" last night, and I have to say I enjoyed it a great deal.

It owes a lot of its darkness to other films, IMO...but the production design is splendid, the music underscore is quite wonderfully dramatic and supportive, and the acting is very good.

Neil McDonough makes a wonderful "hero"!

What a nice comment, though I'm sorry about the circumstances.

Last night's "Chuck":

[size=8]SPOILER[/size]

Not my favorite episode, I have to admit, but I liked many parts of it, including the Christmas party at the store, and that final directive from the Air Force senior officer telling John that Chuck would soon be expendable and that he'd have to take him out.

Dramatic as it was, I don't believe that would EVER happen, though. Iit seems to be unrealistic blather (Hollywood phoniness) to make the military look bad, as is the general trend among writers with infantile grasps on reality.

DR MATT H-

THE HAPPY TIME is a delightful movie-Charming and engaging with a wonderful score by Dimitri Tiomkin and a very excellent Kurt Kasznar repeating his Broadway role.Add to that mix-Bobby Driscoll(suprisingly good)A young Linda Christian,Charles Boyer,Louis Jourdan,Marcel Dalio. It amost makes the thought of Winter disappear . It's really a Springlike Movie.

Thanks for making it happen

My pleasure. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

Deep sympathies to DR Dakota. When my father passed away, I was so grateful that he went in his sleep and was spared further suffering that I couldn't feel all that sad. Yes, I knew I was going to miss him, but his peace meant more to me than my feelings. Sounds like you have similar feelings about your father's passing.

I watched two MURDER SHE WROTE episodes this afternoon.

The first one had a large cast of Angela's cronies from her movie days: Margaret O'Brien, Jane Withers, Betty Garrett, Janet Blair, Marie Windsor along with Earl Holliman and Max Baer Jr.

"Heroes"

[size=8]SPOILER[/size]

In general, it wasn't nearly as good as it should have been. Claire was irrational. The reappearance of Noah to "handle her" was a bit overwrought. The antics of Silar were too predictable/convenient for me to care. I don't think the character is that interesting.

The Niki-Micah segment was very good and moving, I thought, as was the final scene with Nathan, Parkman and Peter at the press conference.

I LOVED how Hiro handled Adam! It was INSPIRED!

I hope they can retool the writing to get this show back on track. Volume II, for the most part, is a bust.

I hope the kitties haven't all ordered wings by the time we get home!

At just what heat level do the kitties like their Buffalo wings? Just make sure they throw out the bones!

Matt H. · « **Reply #142 on:** December 04, 2007, 01:22:35 PM »

The second had another guest cast with many familiar faces: Roy Thinnes, Phyllis Newman, Gregg Henry, Max Wright.

I really enjoyed both of these episodes, among the best from Season Seven.

"Life"

[size=8] SPOILER [/size]

A very interesting show with the always-terrific Damian Lewis as Charlie Crews. Part I of a two-parter didn't seem, at first, to be heading toward any kind of conflict that would merit a second part. But the writing is always deceptive and it was the ongoing subplot of Crews' private investigation into whose time "he" served for 12 years...and who really killed his friends...that never fails to hold my attention.

I'm totally anticipating tomorrow night's episode!

Matt H. · « **Reply #144 on:** December 04, 2007, 01:25:10 PM »

Next, I watched CHUCK. Good episode, a hilarious moment when the rocket went through Chuck's legs. The romantic attachment between Chuck and his handler is rather tedious at this point; I wish they'd just drop it and let them work together as teammates instead of all these jealousy and hurt feelings angles that get really old after awhile.

I did adore the cliffhanger with Chuck on the potential hit list.

While I'm not a coloratura whose husband took French leave with the payroll, I think I could probably find work in a kitchen watching dishes or something.
