I watched the remaining 90 minutes of EYES WIDE SHUT. I have to say I was totally surprised by the ending. I thought it ending with Tom's character coming into the bedroom and finding his mask on the pillow. I thought his breakdown was the end of the movie. Imagine my surprise when it kept on going for two more scenes! They've always been there. I had just forgotten all about them.

Next, I watched all of the bonus features on the disc. The three interviews from the old SD-DVD were still there, but there were three new documentaries. All OK stuff but nothing special, and in one of the documentaries, the Cruise and Kidman interview excerpts were the exact complete interviews that are elsewhere on the disc.

Next, I tinkered just a bit more with the receiver to check out controls and then to program my universal remote so it could operate the new receiver.

To reward myself for the tedious work today of setting up the new equipment, I watched a Season 2 episode of THE CLOSER. This is the one with Brenda's traffic accident and the relentless traffic officer who demands her handling it properly.

I liked BROTHERS & SISTERS a lot. A very moving episode with some truths finally coming out, and the family pulling together in a crisis as they always do. Can't wait to see repercussions from some of tonight's revelations.

Oops...  Just checked my schedule, and "realized" I'm playing auditions in the morning.  -At least my day work is not affected by the strike.  So...

Goodnight.

I guess I'll do a little more writing and then head off to bed.

Good night!

That, and the fact that DotM still comes back, day after day, hour after hour - for what?  So we can talk about him?  It really does remind me of two years ago.

Well, DS Betsy and I already have our least favorite person on TAR:  Ronald.  Oy.  If I ever treat my children like that, may they cut me out of their will.  ;)

At the end of the show it sounded like he sort of got what he's doing, I'll give him one more episode to shape up or he'll be my least favorite too.

Okay, I'm packed andready to go. I will chill out, set the alarm for 5:30 am, and  watch a bit of tv. I need lots of good vibes, DRs, for both the flight and the week in Ohio.  Prayers are good, too.

~~~Super Vibes for Elmore!!~~~

Elmore:  Betsy and I cut a nephew out of our will (my side of the family) for his continued bad behavior, and we made that exclusion quite clear in the will itself so that there could be no mistaking it.  We had the attorney put in a codicil saying that if anyone contested the will, the entire estate (beyond what our kids get, which is most) goes to charity.  I know how certain members of my family think.  ;)

That's a good idea. :)

The Manhattan Transfer recorded a song called "The Quietude."  I remember one time in concert, they said that someone thought the song was called "The Quiet Dude." ;) It's from their CD called The Offbeat of Avenues.  Here are the lyrics:

THE QUIETUDE (Encuentro de Animales)
Music by Chuck Jonkey
Lyrics by Alan Paul


[English translation of Aymara narration]:
In ancient times great fear arose among the inhabitants of Tiahuanacu, the Spaniards were coming into their lands. The Indians retreated to their houses in great fear and closed themselves in total isolation without food or water. They sat down in great sorrow with knees bent and heads bowed (they are called Chullpas) and died. They were buried in this position. Others froze to death in a standing position like stone monoliths (monolitos). The Indians who live there today are very poor – no clothes or food. They seek a better life and move to the cities where they learn to read, write and do any kind of work. They earn money and don't want to return to their homelands.

[Sung]:
Night calls through the air
reaching for its solitude
Dusk lures like a lyre beckoning
the quietude

In state of constant commotion
full of rage and heartless devotion
There's a need that burns within to
fly away, just fly away

Soft winds kiss the land
silent and in gratitude
Children hand in hand
comprehend the quietude
Through a maze of fear
and compulsion
There's a race for the power
and fortune
Still a need within cries out to
fly away, just fly away

People rush, people flee, they
move so fast that they cannot see
Work all day, up all night, they
push and hide all the joy inside
Like a wave that breathes in
the ocean and the mountains
peak with emotion
There's a need that calls within
to find a way, just find a way

Time to leave and fly away,
to take a leave and castaway
To leave the worries and the dismay,
it's time to go,
it's time to play it's...

Time now to fly away,
take leave and castaway
To fly...
The moon it guides my way,
winds blow to show the way
To fly...

Dawn breaks, day descends
With a calming attitude
Shadows fall and bend
Welcome in The Quietude

AARRGGHH!!!  My DVR DID NOT record this show again!!  It didn't record it last week, either!  AND I checked it to make sure that it was set to record. >:( It did record "Brother & Sisters" afterwards (but not last week's episode), and when I got home after rehearsal tonight, there was a message on my TV screen from the DVR saying that it was full and something needed to be deleted!  BUT THE DVR IS ONLY 57% FILLED!!  WHAT'S GOING ON??
