I was able to watch three more episodes of LOST this afternoon, all fascinating and mesmerizing episodes. Even though I saw every one of these when originally aired, I'm still caught off guard by certain things that I had forgotten about. What a great show.

I noticed in this week's ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, Stephen King rates LOST as the best show on television for 2007. I love lots of shows, but I'd have a hard time disagreeing with him.

When I go back downstairs, I'll be beginning episode #19. I should be able to finish with the episodes tonight before JOURNEYMAN.

I just read that the next MGM musical box from Warners will be released in April and will contain 9 musicals:

Hit The Deck, Kismet, and Deep in My Heart, three 2-disc double feature sets: Broadway Melody of 1936/ Broadway Melody of 1938 and Born to Dance/Lady Be Good, Nancy Goes To Rio/Two Weeks With Love.

I'm a Hainsie, JMK. I can eat ANYtime, ANYwhere.

That very topic is covered in the HHW tribology manual under the chapter titled:

"Fish, Levains, Monkey Cake, Ranch Dressing, and Other Food Stuffs" where you will find research by the renown foodcologist Guylius K. Haines, the great-grandfather of the infamous. I mean, famous Guy Haines. His theory, with years of documenation, was "a true HHWer can eat any time, any where, any place." So DR RonnieP was just paraphrasing old Guylius...

I didn't have anything that was too chewy. A (thinly sliced) smoked turkey on a soft, freshly baked croissant.

I just found out I'm reviewing this for DVDTalk. So to save time, please email me your review without your byline.

Seriously, we loved the third season (maybe aside from the Nikki & Paulo ep, LOL), and I can't wait to explore the new DVD set. DVDTalk seems to be a little behind HTF (probably because of their recent sale--screeners have gotten shipped all over the place by mistake), so hopefully mine will be here before February when the new season starts.

Back from a fantastic barbecue lunch - this place is really the berries. Cason and I discussed LACCTAA business mostly and a good time was had by all.

TOD:

Back in my JR High days my buddy Dave and I had quite a curiosity about silent films, and thanks to PBS we found opportunities to see a few.

If I am not mistaken, my first was CABINET OF DR CALIGARI.

Next time we're out in LA we'll have to go. We're BBQ fans and always like to compare regional BBQ to what we have here in the homeland.

As for favorite silent films THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND and THE TEN COMMANDMENTS are favorites.

Does anyone else find it interesting that DR SINGDAW is able to post extensively while at work, but while his DP is attending a conference, he cannot? Vacation, I can understand. Perhaps someone should enlighten me. Then again, perhaps not.

We need to check with JRand on this one, but it has something to do with the HHW time/space continuum (probably something to do with Uranus retrograding or bumping into Mars or something) and how it creates that phenomenon where when you're logged on at work us HHWers are exciting, beguiling, stimulating, interesting, and hypnotically magical, whereas when you log on while on vacation we appear boring, stale and old like yesterday's news.

Yep, that SingSong Phenomenon is covered in the tribology manual, too:

Who knew? Old Guylius was a renown physicist AND astrologer, too (a real renaissance man). In the chapter titled "Uranus and Black Holes: Their Impact On the HHW Time Space Continuum," Guylius discussed his theory of "The Relativity of Interest" which found, "That when you're bored at work, you'll find HHWers fascinating as hell, but if you're having fun on vacation, well, you'll find HHWers boring as hell (i.e. work)."

Back from a couple of errands. The mail at the mail place STILL hasn't been put out, because the USPS delivers it later and later every day, even though, being a mail place, they're supposed to get it first thing in the morning.

Sleepy from the sandwich and beans and fries. Oh, and I tried the sweet potato fries this time and they were beyond delicious.

Plus, you know how sometimes you'll have a great meal at a new jernt and then the second visit is frequently a disappointment - no such problem here.

LOL! The review is already well on its way to be written even with five episodes left.

BTW, the DVDs look wonderful, but I have to admit I was disappointed I wasn't sent the Blu-ray version review copies instead of the sDVD. Ah, well.
