Had a nice lunch and it wasn't quite as warm out then as it is now. It's gotten hot again. Ugh!

Got a PBS review disc in the mail today (on Muhammad Ali). Also got an Amazon order with two Blu-rays I didn't have in my collection and wanted, both on sale (one from the Gold Box which subtracted another dollar from what was the sale price).

I finally got around to finishing THE MOLE from Monday night, and the person I thought was the Mole was eliminated, much to my utter surprise and amazement. Wow! Guess I'll have to start at square one again.

I skimmed through yesterday's AS THE WORLD TURNS. No Luke but the previews promised he'd be on today.

I skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS, and sure enough, Luke and Noah were on and talking about making love for the first time, Of course, the talk went nowhere with lame excuses about waiting, etc. These guys are SO different from the way I was when I was 18 involved with my first love. WAY DIFFFERENT!

I spent most of the afternoon watching THE SCORPION KING on Blu-ray. Since I had watched the movie again over the weekend, I immediately turned on the U-Control (picture-in-picture) feature, and, of course, I much prefer this way of doing commentaries for modern action movies as opposed to the voiceover type of commentary that seems more appropriate for more serious films.

In this, you get commentary from many peoduction personnel, behind the scenes footage, storyboards, but it's not constant. And the neat thing is that the movie was done in DTS-HD MA sound, but when the pop-up windows came on that had audio, the main channel sound would subside and the sound for the window would take over. Then, the full strength DTS-HD MA would come back when the pop-up was finished.

The movie, of course, is a shallow popcorn adventure film. Nothing wrong with that for 90 minutes of pure action and fun. Certainly something like RAIDERS combines the popcorn appeal with something a bit more challenging and in-depth in terms of action, stunts, and characterizations, but I spent 90 minutes in a lot worse ways than THE SCORPION KING.

I also had time to watch a WILL & GRACE episode. This was the one with Kristin Davis as Vince's close friend Nadine. Funny episode, one of the best. The B-story was Karen coming to work with Jack at Out-TV which was also filled with laughs.

One of the best episodes of Season 7.

Well, I hope that bk's plane has taken off already, although, the JetBlue site still shows the plane on the ground.  -And the info from JFK still lists it as "Delayed".

I'm leaving work.  I can't stay awake and I'm feeling very nauseous. :-X

I'm going home and will try to get a little sleep.  Pray for Rosemary's baby. :-\

And sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well.   I wonder if lack of sleep has anything to do with it?

Feel better soon!

Though he wasn't my first choice, Derek made an infinitely more inviting Danny than Max Crumm to my eyes. Looking forward to reading what you thought of him.

I'm going to drop off-line for a bit to write up THE SCORPION KING, but I'll be back in a little while to see what's going on and to sign off for the afternoon.

Hello again... But before I head out the door...

It looks like bk's flight departed at 1:43 (instead of 12:30), and is due to land at  9:47 (instead of 9:06).  :-\

"Try"?  There is no "try".  "Do" or ... well, I refuse to consider the consequences.

So...you just run off to Florida.  You leave us in the lurch...you don't write, you don't call.

Pardon me if I pout just a bit.

 ;D

Ah, is this the Ron Pulliam version of BK's famous bitch-slap?

Actually, I left word with DR Singdaw, so that if anyone was concerned about something untoward, he could alleviate such fears. I guess I'm used to keeping a low profile.

So, my dear Ron, I'm BACK!!!

 ;)

But DR Ron Pulliam waited to express any such fears until you had already returned!       :-X
