Did they let you go because you were well-behaved?

"Well behaved" is one description of me I haven't heard this week.

What sort of steak shall I have? And what about the fixins?

Filet, smothered in mushrooms?

Well... Since "Grey's Anatomy" has started... And since I'm watching it... I guess I'm still on my "break".... $:-\$

DRLaura-WOW! One doesn’t see a chicken every day.

Jeanne-My memory refuses to jog, if there is one to jog. I just can’t imagine I never noticed the house before. I will ask around & see if any of my friends remember it.

My friend took me to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse a couple of weeks ago. I had salmon.

Salmon sounds much better than steak smothered in butter

No...I only know the Atlanta puppeteers. We try to get together once a month for "Puppet Beer Night" at a local bar.

Somehow, the idea of a Puppet Beer Night strikes me as quite funny.

Jeanne, I did not know you were a puppeteer at one time....I am intrigued.

Except for a very brief stint in college I was not actually a puppeteer. I enjoyed the brief stint immensely--the making of the puppets and then of course the performance. I met Marcia and Mallory later. We were all part of a food co-op, where I met the most interesting people. Mallory made animal puppets, which were very life-like. Marcia did some puppet shows and also wrote children's songs. My landlord at the time, Mel Helstein, taught puppetry at UCLA. And that is the end of my puppet connection!

The salmon was very good. I was studying for my cholesterol test at the time.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #258 on:** January 11, 2007, 07:53:43 PM »

Ah...the cholesterol test.

Yes.

It's almost time for "Ugly Betty" to start.

My baked tater is about done...and my steak is primed and ready to be grilled.

Ah.

The fancier hotels are not always so accomodating!

I wonder if the "dopey" in the "other white house" knows that accommodating has two "ems"?

There's a joke to be made in here somewhere...about puppeteering not having anything to do with the "show" with "Puppetry" in its title.

And don't forget the Dolly reference:

So I put my hand in here

I began my evening of viewing finishing THE LAST SAMURAI. It didn't end as I expected, and I ended up liking it very much. Like all movies that feature battles (even masterful movies like THE RETURN OF THE KING and not so masterful as STAR WARS III), I feel directors just have them run too long, at least for my comfort (I'm sure those who enjoy such things would prefer even longer contests). The battles throughout the film are extended to the breaking point (how many arrows do I need to see piercing throats?). The climactic battle sequence is about five chapters long on the disc.

Still, I never stopped admiring the HD quality video, and the DD+ audio (Blu-ray doesn't call it Dolby Digital Plus, but that's what it is) was extremely immersive.

Next, I watched the Disney two reeler BEAR COUNTRY, another wonderful True-Life Adventure. Love all of these classics (this won the 1952 documentary Oscar for two reel films). Again, Disney did major clean-up on this. I didn't notice a single scratch or speckle though the photography was occasionally softer than in some other features. With a film more than 50 years old shot in 16 mm, I guess they did all they could with sharpening it up.

Matt H. · « **Reply #265 on:** January 11, 2007, 08:31:15 PM »

I still had about 50 minutes before the start of UGLY BETTY so I began HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE. Always forget how much information this first film gives us that seems much clearer once one has seen additional films in the series (and read the books). The transfer of the first film is a mixture of good and bad imagery. Much of it looks almost HD in sharpness and color richness. Other shots are grainy and seem desaturated for no good reason.

Matt H. · « **Reply #266 on:** January 11, 2007, 08:32:40 PM »

UGLY BETTY - a wonderful and surprising episode in the continuing drama. I was so sorry for some of the things that happened.

(spoiler)

Will there be a job for Betty back at MODE? No time for this issue to be addressed this week.

GREY'S ANATOMY had the first of a two parter with various turning points in the lives of the show's major characters. Edge of your seat fascinating for me.

Matt H. · « **Reply #268 on:** January 11, 2007, 08:36:18 PM »

I finished the evening watching tonight's SUPERNATURAL an hour after it was originally shown on the network. Exciting show, and the show is going in a sort of different direction this season. It certainly holds my attention, but I hadn't started to tire of the "monster of the week" scenario yet. Maybe they'll go back to that next season.

Matt H. · « **Reply #269 on:** January 11, 2007, 08:37:23 PM »

BTW, I had feared that the DVR would record CSI: NY after it had started and thus not allow me to see the whole show. As it turned out, the timing was wrong, and the show started before the DVR began recording. Thus, I deleted it without watching.
