Well, you've read the notes, you were in your Sunday clothes when you read the notes, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently having a Sunday kind of love and they can't be bothered now.

I made the tragic mistake of taking a short nap late yesterday afternoon that turned into five hours of sleep... I am still wide awake at this hour...

Back to solving the mysteries of unmarked tape...

I do have to say one of the tapes was fun to find... Matt and Kevin on the same tape!!

A partial of episode of MASH with the charming as ever Monsieur Kimmel!!

And one program I am asking myself why I taped it.. It is some REALLY bad MOW!!!

I did find the tape I have been looking for that my friend Cassie had sent me from her personal tape collection.. Her hubby converted it from PALS to NTSC and it is an appearance of hte Chieftains on the Byrne show, A couple of episodes of a show called Ghlean Rua, and the Irish version of Wheel of Fortune.

One of my other treasures include Burgess Meredith performing with the chieftains....

A grainy copy of the St. Patricks day Parade in NYC in 02...

OR should my new book topic be:

The fine art of Fast Forwarding....

the elements of timing commercials and painful scenes or just down right rotten programs...

Includes timing exercises and exercises to improve dexterity,yes dexterity...

Man two VCRS and one DVD player at a single fell swoop and not miss a minute!!

Ouch, George. You sister is selling your house out from under you?

No...not out from under me. She had told me when I moved in that if I wanted to buy the house, she'd give me a real good deal, but actually, I don't want to buy the house. There's nothing wrong with the house (except that it needs a new hot water heater) but I don't want to buy a house...I hate yard work.

I don't want to do yard work, and since I'm old enough to make my own decisions, and I have a job and have paid off my credit cards, I can make my own decisions, which include deciding not to buy a house with a yard that requires yard work that I don't want to do.

So, eventually I'll buy a condo or something like that. But in the meantime, I have to clean the house because I haven't in a while.

So, we'll get the house ready and I'll probably get an apartment so that I can save some money for a down payment on something. My parents gave my sister the empty lot where she built her house, but that's all they have, except for the house that they live in. So, my sister said that after she sells the house, she'd give me half the value of the lot. That'll start a nice savings account for my down payment and it won't take as long for me to save some money. Well...that's the plan, anyway.

I have a couple hundred tapes and very few of them are marked. I'm not too worried about it. There are way too many that I've never even watched.

(I have a tendency to do that...tape or even buy something, then never watch it).

It's that old procrastinator gene, again.

I'm assuming that it's not just a case of another actor playing the role of the Doctor?

I thought about buying the new series one "Doctor Who" DVDs from England, but that'll cost a lot more than the US release, which will be released on Tuesday! I'm hoping Costco will have them.

Cool picture!

And on that note (low E-flat), I must go to bed. I have a lot of cleaning up to do (after I wake up later in the morning). Tonight, I'm going with my friend and her kids to a co-worker's house to see some fireworks where they live. It's supposed to be pretty spectacular and since the co-worker's neighbors pay for the fireworks, it's all free to me! Free is good.

I am waiting for the US release... I have a number of tapes from the classic series... The only doctor I do not have tapes of is the 6th doctor and I am not a fan of Colin Baker.

I found him arrogant after going to a SciFi fair in the Twin Cities and I met him there.

OOOHHH!!! Doctor Who comes out on TUESDAY!!!!

Uh, wait a sec... that means it comes out on July 4th, Independence Day. Like a lot of stores are going to be bringing out the new stuff then.

(But I should have Wednesday off, so we can head up to Borders and...

I'm going to RE-POT some herbs while I think about the word TROPE. Maybe a good idea will bloom.

Yesterday was Grandlad Alex's birthday party. He was (for the most part) well behaved. So was Mommy.

But they're here in Rehoboth Beach today, so they can watch the fireworks tonight. I'm not sure I want to go. I don't like crowds, and it's going to be a mob scene downtown. I don't like screaming, and Mommy is sure to do a lot of that. And I've got a very early start time at work on Monday.

Bleh.

(Speaking of which, I'm off to earn my daily whatever. Later.)

JMK - This trivia contest turned out to be tougher for me than the musical-oriented ones, but I submitted a guess. Like they say about Lotto, you gotta be in it to win it.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #29 on:** July 02, 2006, 06:06:44 AM »

Working today. NO try on the Trivia Question, yet! But I will work on it. Sounds intriguing.

I had a friend make a video copy of YOUNGBLOOD HAWKE for me, a movie that I love. I ran out of blank video tapes, and I thought I would be interested in some damned Debbie Allen movie about the Apollo Theatre or something, so I put that tape in....it had run about to the middle, so I thought I was at the END of HAWKE. Of course, I wasn't. So now I have a STUPID dance movie that was AWFUL and only half of YOUNGBLOOD HAWKE.

Maybe it will be on television again sometime.
