The biggest thing to happen to me in 2007 was landing a critic's job reviewing DVDs at Home Theater Forum. I began in February with the Criterion account. Soon after, I was also given the Disney sDVD account. By late-summer, I had also been given the Disney Blu-rays. At the beginning of December, it was decided that I'd take over the Paramount account and let the Paramount reviewer have my Disney standard account. So now I handle Criterion, Paramount/Dreamworks, and Disney Blu-ray.

For someone like me who adores films and television and loves working from home, this has been a dream come true. I don't know how 2008 could be any better.

Just wanted to mention that Dan O'Herlihy was also one of the stars of FAIL SAFE.

He was a fine actor, a good friend and he is missed.

I didn't see anything on local channels for me tonight, but will look again for that Jerry Herman special which I really want to see.

Otherwise, I know I'll be watching THE NAKED PREY at some point today (if it comes in the mail as expected).

Nice to see new member Druxie! Welcome!

I love FAIL SAFE, too, but a critic acquaintance of mine (Bill Warren) simply despises the movie. I've never really understood why.

GOOD MORNING ALL!



I , of course, am not here as I am at work.  I have to work a full day and then we are off to our friends' home for an all night house party and "sleepover" with festivities to continue the following day. This is the first year in 20 years that this party has not been at my house and I am not sure if I am sad or relieved.




So I am afraid my E & T ness will continue until at least midweek
but I will be raising a glass to all of you and wishing you all

JOY, LOVE, HEALTH , PEACE and PROSPERITY IN 2008!!!!!

I reached godliness on a funky, wacky website filled with funky, wacky, delightful folks...
I got to see Cason play Zubrick in The Brain From Planet X on a NYC stage ...
I got to see Cason play the Emcee in Cabaret on an LA stage ...
I started my quest for a Master of Humanities...
I completed the first semester of my Master quest...
I completed the second (practicum) semester of my Master quest ...
I introduced 23 kids to the joys of writing and performing three original melodramas ...

New Year's Eve morning greetings!  We're having a very low-key holiday.  Tonight we have plans to double-date with Rob and Mary Linda to see Charlie Wilson's War and pick up Chinese carry-out for dinner.  Somehow, Chinese food and a show have been a recurring New Year's Eve theme for Richard and myself, since even before we were married.  25 years ago tonight it was dinner at Dish of Salt on W. 46th St. in NYC and an evening performance of Evita on Broadway.

Tomorrow, I'll make a crock-pot full of chili and we'll watch TV all day - Rose Parade, Capital One Bowl (Go Blue!), Rose Bowl, and the Jerry Herman doc at 9:30pm on our local PBS stations.

But for each of you individually may 2008 be one for the records in that it is the most successful and happiest year yet!

...(and that this post just happened to add one more post to bk's quest for record-breaking posting numbers is just a coincidence ...) ...

TOD - 2007 has not been my favorite year, what with DH Richard's shoulder surgery, DS Rob's mono, and the (mercifully brief) illness and death of my mother-in-law.  However, there have been some wonderful periods of travel with DH Richard:

-Our trip to Washington, DC, and NYC in June/July, when we spent time with DRs Elmore, Jose, Ben, FJL, Singdaw, MusicGuy, MBarnum, and Jason, saw Curtains, and were graciously received in Fred & Skip's home and in Karen Ziemba's dressing room.

-Our trip to Nashotah House in July/August, when I got to meet Richard's classmates and attend their matriculation ceremony.

-Our trip to NYC in September/October, when we spent time with BK and DRs Elmore, Jose, FJL, Singdaw, Cason, Miss Karen, Vixmom, WFO, Ben, der Brucer, SWW, Edisaurus, Cillaliz, Samantha, Julie, Noel (hope I haven't forgotten anyone!), saw The Brain from Planet X, Such Good Friends, and The Last Starfighter, and attended the Plaza rehearsal with DR Elmore.

But, by far, the special-est thing that has happened this year is the introduction into our household of the lovely young lady Rob has been dating since early March.  She has been at his side through some tough times and is delightful to have around, both for festive occasions and for vegging out in the family room eating pizza and watching Jeopardy.
