TOD:

For traditional animation I choose BAMBI

For CGI, I choose either HOODWINKED or FINDING NEMO, both of which I enjoyed very much.

Mini-rant on Honeymoons:

An acquaintance was griping recently that he had to cut his honeymoon short because his boss required him to be back at work for a major deal in which he was a key player.

It is not feasible, in reality, to schedule a wedding around a potential "deal" in the making at work, since weddings are often planned a year out.

OTOH, I began thinking about "honeymoons" and their "intent."

Honeymoons were "invented" to give men and women an opportunity to become acquainted "away from" family and friends. It was the chance they needed to learn about one another. It was the chance they needed to become "intimate" without having to face knowing eyes and smiles every time they left their room to take a meal.

I then considered my acquaintance who had been living with his now-wife for more than two years before marriage.

Hell....he's HAD his honeymoon. All he's truly bitching about now is a vacation cut short.

It's not like some irrecoverable opportunity has been lost. That happened the first night they slept together!

Mini-rant over.

Wonder if DR SINGDAW still has his socks on?

Are you hoping he gets his socks off?

Or hoping to knock his socks off?

That "could be" a euphemism.

Of course NIGHTMARE is stop motion.....I couldn't think of the term.

DR MATTH - Fantasia puts me to sleep, too. And when you told the story yesterday about the SOUND problem, my heart stopped.....been there....and like you the first thing I think is: I broke it!

Yes, I thought the HARRY POTTER DVD had actually blown a circuit on the audio board because I had the receiver turned up too loud. Thank goodness it was a problem reasonably easy to rectify.

John Lasseter is now the head of ALL of Disney's animation divisions, so his name will be listed as Executive Producer on all Disney animation, Pixar or not. I'm sure he had input on MEET THE ROBINSONS. The studio's previous CGI work without him was not well received, and MEET THE ROBINSONS got much better reviews and did good (but not great) business.

Think I'll head down now and wait to see if anything interesting comes in the mail. My Deep Discount sale order shipped on Saturday, so I'm not expecting it today, but Amazon owes me a couple of things, and I should be getting the Blu-ray of SANTA CLAUS 3 in the mail. The SD-DVD came on Friday, but it's up next for viewing.

If Singdaw and I were to both enter a Puritan church, they'd never be able to purify it again.

I recently bought myself my Christmas (2007) present (I always give me the best present!!). It was a Canon SD 800 Elph digital camera.

I began reading the instruction books (!) yesterday (oy!), and was able to snap a few photos before becoming too overwhelmed with iconography and what it all means.

I stepped out onto my balcony and this is what I photographed:

DR elmore - Have a calm, cool, collective and constructive day and meeting this afternoon.

As for car rental companies, I usually go with Enterprise too. Their online specials/discounts are consistently pretty good deals in my experience.

They also usually upgrade me without even asking. When we were in LA for Sacco and Vanzetti, we had our pick of cars and since I loved the PT Cruiser even before they were on the market, I finally got to drive one. I chose a yellow one; it looked like a taxi. I love driving it but since I'm on my 4th Toyota Corolla and they're so reliable, I'll probably always stick with them.

When I met up with my partner Peter out there, he had chosen the very same yellow cruiser. (His kids chose it, actually!)

RE: last night's DANCING WITH THE STARS.

My favorite dances of the night were Helio's second dance, and mel's second dance.

I watched this for the first time last night. And learned a lot. Who else knew that Depeche Mode's "Your Own Personal Jesus" was a tango?

Good morning, good day, how are you this beautiful day? I was awakened from a dream - I'd just found an LP of the London cast album of Li'l Abner, in STEREO, starring Dan Duryea (presumably in the Howard St. John role). Of course, no such album exists - I really wanted to hear it, though.
