I just stood on my head in my cubicle, and darned if you aren't right!

That's hardly out of character, though, is it?

Back from lunch: Black-Eyed Pea soup, grilled Snapper, steamed veggies and herbed rice.

It was scrumdiddlyumptious!

Back from Costco. Wasn't as hellish as usual. Got some meat, some veggies, fruit, fiber-one bars and a bike helmet. (and other boring stuff)

Am I remembering correctly (or not) that Deep Discount has an annual 40%-off Criterion sale?

They have certainly had Criterion sales, but I'm not sure they do it annually.

DR TheVixter: It's not out yet. It is still in the proofing stage, I think.

Had a great afternoon of entertainment.

I began by finishing season 1 of NCIS. A very surprising denouement in the search for the terrorist. Took me completely by surprise.

Matt H. · « **Reply #160 on:** June 11, 2008, 01:29:12 PM »

Next, I watched ROBIN AND THE SEVEN HOODS. The movie has always been too long and sluggishly directed, but I sure like many of the songs in that score, and I watched "Style" twice just to enjoy the swinging melody of it.

The DVD looked quite wonderful. No age related specks to speak of and the color was wonderfully saturated. I watched it upconverted, and it looked worlds better than the muddy laserdisc I've been suffering with for many years. Mono sound, of course, but it's always been that.

Matt H. · « **Reply #161 on:** June 11, 2008, 01:31:29 PM »

I had some time left over in the afternoon so I watched some numbers from the musical version of THE PRODUCERS: "Keep It Gay" and "Springtime for Hitler." Yes, the movie is a slog, but it looks wonderful on DVD.

I understand there is a Japanese Blu-ray version of the film that plays in all regions of Blu-ray players, but I don't like the movie enough to want it. The used DVD copy I have is all I need.

Matt H. · « **Reply #162 on:** June 11, 2008, 01:32:32 PM »

I watched the Luke and Noah scenes in today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Eh. Go looking for someone else, Luke. That's my advice.

They were not in the previews for tomorrow.

Matt H. · « **Reply #163 on:** June 11, 2008, 01:33:07 PM »

No review copies in the mail today, so I have tonight free to hopefully watch at least two films plus THE MOLE.

Speaking of Iowa flooding: NBC News opened last night with a feature on Cedar Falls, which just happens to be where a gaggle of my cousins and my one surviving Aunt live (her late husband was dean of the Teachers' College there for many, many years). And lo and behold, there was my cousin Bob filling sandbags on the news last night! It was kind of cool to see him on the national news, but a sad occasion nonetheless.

It's another very warm for June day in Oakland CA.

I ain't go no Cousin Bob.

I do have a cousin-in-law named Bob, but it doesn't seem the same.

That reminds me:

Will singdaw be making it LA way?

Unfortunately, no.

Just a quick shotgun wedding trip to San Francisco and back.

DR MBarnum, this was my selection, but I'm not sure if I have the figure to pull it off:

Heading down now to put fresh sheets on the bed and then get back to more evening viewing.

I have been in the process since January of looking for a job (grown-up stuff-- Yuck). Days have been so much nicer without one (walks with DR Laura, etc). Dr Laura and DR Sandra and I went hiking yesterday (and also got doughnuts) However, it is time to REALLY hunker down and get a job. It would so much easier if I knew what I wanted to be when i grew up. I need an agent since I find it difficult to sell myself (well except on street corners under street lights)!

I need all your good vibes, because I have to do this, and this is always out of my comfort zone.

All good thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated.

~~~SUPER JOB FINDING (AND LIKING SAID JOB) VIBES FOR DR KERRY!!~~~
