Does anyone want to go to work for me? It is really too cold to go out...

Here is an article from Publishers Weekly profiling 5 independent bookstores that specialize in mysteries - lots of author suggestions for DR Jeanne and others:

Booksellers Drop Clues

Thank you for thinking of me, Ginny. I love independent bookstores. BK and Jane will probably remember an old haunt of mine, Papa Bach.

Right now I'm enjoying Maeve Binchy--one of your recommendations. (not mystery)

We have been watching the Noel Coward collection. A friend purchased the set and has loaned us the discs. Some of them are quite wonderful, even the Joan Collins Repertory productions of Tonight at 8:30. She can actually be good when she's not being "Joan Collins"

Glad to hear the good report. This collection has been in my netflix queue for a while (along with QUITE a few other things!).
Thanks, Ben.

I always thought Joan Collins was/is a lot better than most give her credit for.

She can be effective in certain things, but she was WAY out of her depth in THE VIRGIN QUEEN. Everyone acted circles around her, and she was a most unconvincing Elizabethan.

I've liked her in all of the films I've watched in THE JOAN COLLINS COLLECTION. I still have a few to view.

Our lovely blue sky has been covered by a thick blanket of clouds. Still unbelievably warm outside, but it was looking like an early spring day earlier in the afternoon.

Last night I finished watching THE PICKWICK PAPERS, which was a wonderful BBC production filled with 3 hours of silliness and good humor leading to a very emotional and sobering stay in the Fleet Prison before everything reached its happy conclusion. i've never read the novel, but I thoroughly enjoyed the production and a wonderful cast.

More for the queue.

And she's very bitchy/vampy as Crystal Allen in THE OPPOSITE SEX. That's the kind of role she was made to play.

I've never read THE PICKWICK PAPERS either. One of those books I've wanted to read for decades and never found the time to get through it.

Hope you feel better, DR Ron Pulliam.

I suppose that many of the Bollywood films which the errant and truant DR MBarnum and I watch frequently would be considered exotic enough for the TOD.
I know that watching FOOL N FINAL last week introduced me to the beauty of Dubai.

Sorry to read that your hearing is going bad, DR strumclaw.

I watched another NCIS episode while I cooked and ate lunch. It was the one with the man stuffed down the chimney. Chilling ending and one of the best episodes in that box set.

Hey, I have an idea: Let's introduce DR TCB's bacteria to DR elmore3003's bedbugs.

Let it be a fight to the finish!

LOL.

Since the Disney Blu-rays were not forthcoming, I watched MARTIAN CHILD this afternoon. It's a lovely family film with John Cusak playing a widower who adopts a very unusual child (bright but emotionally damaged) who truly believes he's a Martian. A fairly stock ending, but otherwise, it doesn't take the easy road to audience acceptance, and I really enjoyed it. Teared up a couple of times during the movie. Some good payoffs in the writing.

Matt H. · « **Reply #141 on:** January 29, 2008, 01:13:54 PM »

There are a nice selection of bonus features on the disc, and I began with the deleted/extended scenes. There are 14 of them, none truly necessary to the film (wisely cut), but all gave a little added perspective to the characters so I'm glad they're on the disc.

Matt H. · « **Reply #142 on:** January 29, 2008, 01:14:34 PM »

There's an audio commentary and a couple of behind-the-scenes featurettes which I'll go through when I go back down.

Matt H. · « **Reply #143 on:** January 29, 2008, 01:15:11 PM »

I concluded my afternoon of viewing with today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Nada of interest to me. Nothing in the previews either.

Hmm... Just flipping channels... And I came across "Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee" on the Food Network. She was "inspired" by a trip to an Army Surplus store to come up with a Safari-themed dinner. Complete with decorations and a table-scape. And some sort of "costume" which continues to baffle me... which is the only reason I'm still watching. $:-\$

Glad that DR ELMORE is still able to be amused and entertained after all he's been through lately.
