My sentiments EXACTLY!

Happy Birthday, Tom!

The recycled greeting may seem cheap, but the sentiment is real!

Thank you, Ron Pulliam, the sentiments are greatly appreciated.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TCB!!!

In the odd mac and cheese department--we took the kids to a "Noodles" restaurant the other night where the only thing even approximately kid-friendly was the Mac and Cheese. Well, guess what? They made it with Dijon mustard. Even I couldn't stand it.

Thanks a lot, JMK. Please do not send any mac and cheese!

Back from a particularly scrumptious lunch:

Minestrone zuppa

Orzo con salsiccia (Chicken/basil sausage, cherry tomatoes, broccoli florets, zucchine sauteed in a garlic-based olive oil on a bed of orzo).

It's a gorgeous, partly cloudy day here in Oakland CA.

There's a nice breeze. Temp is about 75.

Looks like rain...but that won't happen. We don't get rain from May through October.

What kind of cake?

I think we should all eat some cake in honor of Tom (aka TCB).

It's the least we could do.

You're missing one of THE GREAT entertainment events on television -- PROJECT RUNWAY! A new episode every Wednesday at 10 p.m.

As I've mentioned before, apart from AMERICAN IDOL, I don't watch competitive reality shows. I get too caught up in the drama and make myself miserable. Half a year of IDOL is quite enough for me.

I very much enjoyed THIRD MAN OUT this afternoon. I was afraid with this TV-movie appearing on here!, they would have no budget, and everything would look like it was filmed in someone's backyard.

Couldn't have been more wrong. Looked like TV-movies I've seen on Lifetime, A&E, and other cable channels. MURDER IN GREENWICH is what it most reminded me of. To give it a noir-ish look and feel, the color was desaturated somewhat, but the transfer was widescreen enhanced and very sharp. Good Dolby 5.1 sound.

Having read Agatha Christie's THE BODY IN THE LIBRARY, I had a jump start on solving the crime which I did before it was revealed. Still, well done, nice acting from the principals, and one I quite enjoyed. I'll be looking forward to getting SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM whenever it gets released to home video.

There was a behind-the-scenes featurette on the disc that I also watched. Good information and nice to hear the actors out of character talking about their work and the production. That was the only extra apart from a trailer.

Then I watched THE HOURS. I've been meaning to watch it again for months, and I'd just never gotten around to it, but with two hours left in my afternoon slot, I put it on and got swept up into it again.

I went to Amazon.com to order it and they had a "Better Together" suggestion of "Third Man Out" with "Adam and Steve." I was interested in both movies, so I put both in my cart, but then I thought that I should compare the prices between Amazon.com and DeepDiscountDVD.com and guess what...for the two titles, it's $13.60 LESS on DeepDiscountDVD.com than Amazon! That can essentially get me another DVD for free! DDD charges no tax and just has cheaper prices (in most cases)! DDD got my order.

Good shopping! I think you will enjoy both films, DR George. Let me (us) know your reactions once you finally watch them.

Funny story:

I pre-ordered "This Island Earth" via Amazon.com several weeks ago.

Yesterday, I visited my "Account" to verify that it was in the process of being shipped. To my amazement, it had an "estimated" shipping date of August 24th, with an estimated arrival of August 28th.

What you need to know is that I have their free shipping with 2nd-day delivery plan (it pays for itself in about a month for me).

I visited the listing and satisfied myself they did, indeed, have it in. In fact, they were promising it by today if anyone used 1-day ordering to obtain it.

Have gone round and round with them on previous pre-orders that took more than a week from date of release for them to ship to me, I duly cancelled my pre-order.

I then simply ordered it again. It shipped last night.

And it arrived 35 minutes ago!

Ain't that the shits?
