Welcome home Elmore. I didn't wish you vibes on the web, but was certainly sending them to you...

DR Jennifer, about VERONICA MARS:

First off, the characters of Jackie and Duncan are done on the show. Their characters are not supposed to figure into next year's storylines at all. Also, Kendall Casablancas (will not be a regular and may not make many appearances at all next year.

Next year, there will not be a season long mystery arc. Instead, there will be three mystery arcs that will run for 1/3 of the season each and then wrapped up only to have another begin. I believe the producers feel the show hasn't caught on more because if you miss any episodes along the way, the season-long mystery is lost to the viewer. This way, if you miss one episode or even one whole mystery arc, you won't be lost for the rest of the season.

Well, Lucy plays "Lucille Ball" in the film BEST FOOT FORWARD, but I certainly think she's better in something like FANCY PANTS or even DUBARRY WAS A LADY (even though she doesn't sing for herself except in "Friendship" at the end of the film.)

I got a new piece of video equipment today, so I wanted to test it with what I consider the best DVD transfer of a recent movie I could think of - CHICAGO. It looked just wonderful.

Next, I put in BATMAN BEGINS since it has so many grays and blacks as part of its design. It, too, delivered everything I could hope for in video quality.

FInished out the night's viewing with CONVICTION on NBC. Not very interesting cases this week, and with all the inter-office dating and romances going on, it's a very crowded, exhausting show. I don't suspect it's going to be renewed, so there will only be an episode or two more to go.

Winner of the Cheesiest DVD packaging for Emmy Consideration: I kid you not - the DVDs for the TEN COMMANDMENTS mini-series arrived today. Each of the 2 DVDs is embedded in a faux-tablet like Moses brought down from the Mount. Oy!

While I was watching CONVICTION, I noticed the sound wasn't quite right. At a commercial, I did a sound check of my speakers, and sure enough, the right front speaker was dead. So, I had to go through the arduous task of crawling back behind the receiver to check connections. They looked OK, no wires were sticking out or looking obviously unconnected. I brought in another speaker and swapped it out with the one currently being used to see if the speaker itself was dead. Still no sound.

So, I once again I got behind the receiver, undid the right speaker connections and then reattached them. Did the test, and NOW it worked just fine.

But it was SO much trouble getting back there with that tangle of wires. You gotta love this stuff to endure these problems occasionally.

I've read that wireless surround systems are on the way. They can't come fast enough for me (though I'm sure the price will be prohibitive at first.)

Back from Staples - had to make some more copies of the new play - it's going out to two theaters on Monday.

Ran into my Russian masseuse whilst there.

Ouch! I hope no one was hurt!

No get out of the blue funk and into the purple passion or at least the lemon Joy.

Back from the gym. And finished watching HOT SUMMER NIGHT...starring my interviewee Ms. Colleen Miller...she is so pretty in this film. It co-stars James Best who is such an interesting actor...and he really played some scary characters in his early career.

Since nobody has danced yet, let's let pretty Colleen Miller of Beverly Hills, California have the honors!

Good evening all. I have spent the last three hours watching the end of season one and beginning of season two of Alias. It makes me feel sad about how much the show has gone downhill since then.

TPunk · « **Reply #163 on:** May 12, 2006, 09:11:35 PM »

Rodzinski is out with his buddies. If anyone sees him, tell him it's time to come home.

As for me, I'm heading off to bed.

Not just sad. Tragic. A tragedy of epic proportions.

I know producers need to make 100 episodes of a series to hope to make their productions costs back via syndication, but this show was never meant to run five years, at least not when it took the turns it took early on.

Matt H. · « **Reply #167 on:** May 12, 2006, 09:29:03 PM »

Heading for bed myself.

Good night, everyone!

Bored. Tired, but not tired. Hungry, but don't really want to eat (I had a very small dinner).

Sleepover so far.... picked up my niece, discovered one girl had a dance class rehearsal and one had a swim team practice and neither could join us for dinner,so the niece, the Vixter & I went out to a little Italian place where I had chicken marsala and they had pizza

That's what they ordered!! They coulda had an entree!!!!

Collected the other two girls and off we went to Barnum. The Vixter and I had quite a few friends in the show and although it could have benefitted from a more charasmatic leading man, it was fun and it ended very well... the energy , the colors, the performance really left on a wonderful high note.

Home again for a chocolate fountain fondue with strawberries, blueberries, marshmallows, orange slices, pretzels, apples and bananas for diping , then smoothies with the aforementioned fruits and vanilla icecream and milk.

The the girls played "Nigtmare" the video board game in which they had to complete a board game within the one hour time fromt he video staring and the "Gate Keeper" keeps suddenly appearing on the screen and yelling at them and telling them to do things . It was a lot of fun watching them scream everytime he suddenly appeared.

Now they are making jewlwely and calming down intheother room....since its just about 2 AM I think I will give them a 30 minute warning to finish up and get to the bedroom so I can finally join Vixdad in bed upstairs ( he went to bed ages ago... but not before suddenly appearing inthe livingroom wearing a scull mask while the girls were playing Nightmare... I suspect we woke the neighbors with the sceaming that ensued)
