I began my viewing tonight with ALL OVER THE GUY. I was flipping around my cable channels, and noticed that HBO was showing the film on one of their channels. It was already about 30 minutes in, so since I had the DVD, I put it in the player and watched the whole thing. Always enjoyable.

Next I put in MRS. SANTA CLAUS. I hadn't watched this special since it first appeared on CBS-TV almost ten years ago. At the time I was disappointed in the Jerry Herman music and story.

I have to say on this second hearing, the songs are more tuneful and lilting than I gave them credit for being when I first saw it. The story is still kind of all over the place, but for lighthearted holiday entertainment, it's fine.

I watched the commercial VHS tape I was given as a Christmas present and had never watched until tonight. I think I will probably find a used copy of the DVD to buy for myself so I can have it with a bit better quality.

I finished my evening with two CSI: MIAMI episodes from the fourth year set. The first found the three young CSIs coming to different conclusions based on the same evidence. The original CSI did an episode like this a few years ago that was very successful, and this one was, too. A favorite from last season.

The other episode was the very frustrating one in which Horatio is framed from the murder of a woman by his arch nemesis Walter Resden, who is allowed to walk by a vengeful judge Horatio lowered the boom on in an episode the previous season.

So, with many of my favorites preempted tomorrow night, I'll have only DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, BOSTON LEGAL, and DEXTER to watch/record. That will leave most of the day for OH WHAT A LOVELY WAR and anything else I happen to get a craving to watch. Should be a fun day tomorrow.

Good night!

I was watching the Spanish language version of Universal's 1931 DRACULA, the version filmed with the Spanish speaking cast, but doggone it if'n I can only get the English subtitles for the hearing impared to come on rather then just plain English subtitles...so not only does it give me the English traslantion it tells me when something creaks, when someone laughs, giggles, screams, ect.

It was most annoying so I turned it off. I wanted to watch it because I will have the opportunity to meet it's star, Lupita Tovar, when I go to L.A. as she is being honored at a Motion Picture Arts and Sciences event that I plan to attend...I am hoping her daughter Susan Kohner will also be there!

This morning I went to the arboretum for a walk. Although I left the memory chip for the camera at home, the camera has an internal memory that holds a very few pictures. This is what I saw:

Lovely picture Laura!

TOTD:

We did not really have department stores on the same level as NYC or LA.

The first ones I remember  would be JCPenneys and Sears. We also had a local department store called Norbys and Griffiths. Both Norbys and the Sears store in Fargo had escalators. It was the first time i had ever seen an escalator and I was 8 yrs old.

I fondly remembering visiting rellies in Winnepeg and going to Eatons and to the Bay. I love the Winnipeg Bay store. It had a waterwheel in there to pay tribute to the history and heritage of Winnepeg. It  was on the fourth floor and it had fantastic little restaurant. I cant remember but there was also another large deparment store on Portage avenue in Winnepeg but I cannot recall the name of it at this time. It is connected to Portabe place.

I remember going to the old Dayton Hudson stores in the twin cities. They were later bought out by Marshall Fields and they are now owned by Macy's. Sad in a way to see the loss of those old regional department stores.

Back from a really long day giving a tour of the city, dinner, and watching a movie.

Speaking of a movie, tomorrow I'm seeing Dreamgirls.

I bought the laserdisc of "Mrs. Santa Claus" on eBay a few years ago.  I've had the CD and enjoy it...don't love it, but I enjoy it. :)

I didn't watch the shows from the DVR that I wanted to.  I was flipping channels and "White Christmas" was on.  I was just going to watch for a few minutes, but I ended up watching the last 45 minutes.  "Easter Parade" came on next and I kept that on while I went downstairs and made dinner (frozen organic enchiladas...very good).  The Marx Brothers' "Coconuts" is on now, but I'm not really watching it.  I got sidetracked by the Broadway.com clips of all the show openings and anniversaries, especially the 10th anniversary of the revival of Chicago, and Brent Barrett (the World's Sexiest Man Alive, in HHW lingo ;)) and his blond hair. ;D

I can't wait to see this!  I hope it's good.  I've really enjoyed the few clips that I've seen.

BK, have you heard anything about it, yet?  Good?  Adequate?  Horrid??
