George, have you seen TAKE ME OUT? I think it closes tomorrow.

I'm going to see it tomorrow at the last matinee.

George · « **Reply #183 on:** June 16, 2007, 02:31:10 PM »

Well, I must be going, also. I have to go to Costco to get some polish hot dogs and buns and some frozen raspberries...if they have any. If not, I need to go to Fred Meyer, right next door. Have a good day, all!

Hey! I resemble that remark!

Good morning!

I have finished Michael Tolliver Lives!, and am envious of those who have it all before them.

Hope it arrives soon. DR DungFling. I'm really looking foward to a Mouse in the House.

I just finished Season Two of THE CLOSER, and what a great series! My friend Conan as Detective Ross was one of the bumblers brought in to take over Malik's murder investigation during Brenda's leave of absence. It was also nice seeing Father Paul from THE SOPRANOS as a treacherous CIA agent and XANADU's late James Carpinello as an unlucky CIA agent. Great shows. I can't wait for the start of Season 3, so I may have to drag out Season One now.

A litte technical glitch, DR Tomovoz. My new region-free DVD player was having a problem formatting blank discs. So, it's going ino the bedroom, and the old trusty is going back into the den. Your package will go out next week!

singdaw · « **Reply #188 on:** June 16, 2007, 02:51:18 PM »

I'm going to DVR The Closer's season 3 while I try to catch up with I & II on DVD.

There's a great [if brief] interview with Kyra in the newest issue of The Advocate.

DR elmore3003, did you decide to go see The Second Tosca tonight?

Thanks for the support, DR td!!!! Such abuse around here...

I am starting on the latest Russell Quant mystery by Anthony Bidulka. Has anyone else read any of these?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #192 on:** June 16, 2007, 02:58:40 PM »

No worries DR SlingBack! I think I can wait for "Spring Awakening" though Winter mornings are a little chilly and the garden is looking a a little grey (Yes I've just drawn back the curtains).

Well, who can begrudge the neighbors a little thrill now & then, eh?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #194 on:** June 16, 2007, 03:07:39 PM »

They would need more than telescopes around here. The neighbours are not that close. 5 and 2.5 acre blocks are the norm.

Lucky you! Well, the birds might see...but they won't tell!

We're the only ones in the jernt!! And I hate to leave you alone, but I do need to go take care of a few things...

Enjoy your Sunday, DR Tomovoz!

Tomovoz · « **Reply #197 on:** June 16, 2007, 03:16:15 PM »

Sunday shall indeed be enjoyed. Thank you.

No. I thought it would be fun to go with DR Jose, but he's busy tonight. Since he doesn't seem interested. I may see it during the week unless it closes for want of business.

Got a little warmer and muggier this afternoon. It was a sure sign that summer is rapidly approaching.

It begins THIS Monday night, so we won't have long to wait!

Similies and metaphors are both types of figurative language and both involve comparisons of unlike objects.

In the simpliest terms (because there are variations of each type):

Similes use the words "like" or "as" in their comparisons:

The boy ran like a deer through the forest.

Metaphors state that one thing is the other thing without the use of words "like" or "as."

The boy was a deer running through the forest.

I likewise enjoyed the remaining CLOSER episodes from the Season 2 set. I started with the death of the teenager who was going to testify at a trial to free a man from an unlawful prison sentence.

Matt H. · « **Reply #203 on:** June 16, 2007, 03:43:39 PM »

I followed that with the death of a mob boss's wife and an FBI agent which seemed to be the last episode of the season.

Matt H. · « **Reply #204 on:** June 16, 2007, 03:44:21 PM »

But TNT surprised us with a two part CHristmas special that REALLY wrapped up season 2, and that's what I was watching when I shut the system down to get on-line.

Matt H. · « **Reply #205 on:** June 16, 2007, 03:45:41 PM »

Tonight, I'll finish that CLOSER episode, and then watch DAYS OF GLORY from Algeria.

Holy moley on rye! I've been out in the garage rearranging and looking through a goodly number of boxes. It took about five hours but things are much more organized now - and I found the two boxes I was hoping to find. Now the Kritzerland inventory is easy to get to and very clearly organized.

I found over 100 cassettes and DATS to transfer - including all the instrumental mixes from every solo album I've produced.

Heading down now to get a start on the evening's viewing.

I love Saturdays: no cleaning - my one day off!
