Well, I was not logged in, I was at the synagogue rehearsing Rosh Hashanah music.  But now I'm here!  And now I'm going to bed.  Good night, all!

[bk]

Back from a perfectly perfect meal with Miss Barbara Deutsch.  We spoke of many things, of cabbages and kings.  I had the Buffalo wings and a barbecue chicken sandwich, with a teeny-tiny side salad - all was yummilicious.  We had a really cute, funky waitress.  She'd chosen the music that was playing - moon music from the 1950s - in describing it she kept trying to tell us about the weird-sounding instrument that was playing.  I told her it was the theremin and that I, in fact, had one, and I suddenly was the hit of the evening at the Studio City Cafe.

[bk]

I shall now think about watching something, and after I think about it, perhaps I'll watch something.

[George]

You know, all I'm trying to do is have fun - fun things on the board, etc.  It seemed people were enjoying it, but, you know, it can be gone with the snap of a fingers.  So, let's have a little poll and that will be that.  Yay or nay, dear readers.  It has nothing to do with numbers of posts.  In fact, I'll just make the decision now - no more game, how's that?  I'm totally jiggy with it.

I enjoy the initials game...not that I can ever think of as many names as BK or macchus.  It's just something fun to do each week.  I don't really have the same "issues" that others have had with regards to the rules or the breaking thereof.  It's not important enough for me to worry about.  I just say play if you want and don't, if you don't.

And that's my 2¢.

And on that note (F#), I'm outta here.

Until later!

RE: How The West Was Won

Will you watch the Smilebox version or the widescreen version first?

Definitely smilebox version first.

[Matt H.]

Had a nice, long evening of viewing pleasures. First I watched all of the bonus features on the Criterion version of THE EARRINGS OF MADAME de... Interesting, especially the author of the original story trashing the movie up one side and down the other. Funny that Criterion would include it on a disc that otherwise celebrates it as a great film, but at least they're giiving all sides an equal say in the matter!

[Matt H.]

Next, I decided to watch CAPOTE in HD from the free On Demand HD Channel. I do enjoy the movie so much, and I hadn't watched my DVD in quite awhile, so it was nice to see it in HD. I wouldn't say this was a major leap from the regular DVD, but it was naturally sharper.

[Matt H.]

Next I watched tonight's FRINGE. Folks are correct: the opening sequence was sensational. The rest of the overlong 90 minutes seemed padded to me, but, of course, the show will be an hour from now on. Looks like it's going to be an X-FILES type show with the "team" working against these other worldly scourges.











Mark Valley as a bad guy! Now THAT took me by surprise. And I'm assuming your friend, DR Jose, was the actor who played the guy and his twin brother whom they were trying to catch. He does a good amount of guest star work if that's the actor you were referring to.

[Matt H.]

THE SHIELD had another slam-bang action-filled episode. A very disturbing confrontation by a 13 year old "bad boy street thug" who killed some innocent white people in a car because he wanted to assert his authority. Scary.

[Matt H.]

Tomorrow it looks like I'll be watching THE LOVE GURU. Sounds like fun.

[JoseSPiano]

DR MattH - Yes, that was him.

*And to think I knew him when he was starring in an original musical in college wearing a costume that had a six-foot penis.

Re people taking a while to get back to an email:

Has anyone else been noticing long delays in delivering emails on some servers?  Sometimes we've been getting, for example, an email sent at 11 a.m. immediately and then a 9:30 a.m. email from the same person appears in the in box several hours or even a day later.

Sometimes if you're surprised than a crucial email has not gotten a response, it could pay to follow up with a phone call.

I've noticed that happening a lot more lately

[Cillaliz]

DR FJL - Yes, there do seem to be some hiccups from time to time in regards to e-mails and servers.  I've always noticed a "regular" lag time anytime anyone sends me email from a Yahoo! account.  Sometimes it's a few minutes, sometimes it's a few hours. -But then if they send it from another email account, it will be in my email-box almost instantaneously.

*I've also noticed that emails sent during overnight hours tend to get delayed due to normal site maintenance as well as the "traffic" from businesses and organizations.

THose are probably the emails that the government is reading  

[Matt H.]

DR MattH - Yes, that was him.

*And to think I knew him when he was starring in an original musical in college wearing a costume that had a six-foot penis.

 

Covered in all that goo tonight wasn't a great step up, but I'm SURE the pay was better!  

[Matt H.]

Well, my writing is finished for the day, so I think I'll head down now and get some sleep.

Good night!

[Cillaliz]

Well, I believe, bk, already stated that the Initials Game is gone.  For now.

In any case...

Yes, I was a being a bit of a stick in the mud about the whole thing the past few weeks.  I did enjoy it at first.  However, as the game changed... And the rules changed... As the list-keeping became something of a necessity for some DRs... Well...

And, basically, all those changes that bk listed bring the game back to how it started off.

*I think we also have to remember that the Game - and this board - was the started off by bk - and DR machhus.  We are "merely" - for lack of a better word (and I know there is one) - are just contestants joining a game in progress.  The only "work" any of us should have to do is to type a name and hit "Post".  -And if someone happens to post a name that was already posted, well, then all we need to do is indicate that in another post.  -With or without a snarky comment.  

I tried to have fun with the game, but I'm never on early enough to post a name that isn't on the list and it was pretty snarky around here if you tried to put up a name that was already on the list. So I just ignore it and page down and read whatever other posts are on that day. But if others like it, I'm very good at the page down button.

[Cillaliz]

I'm embarrassed!  And I apologize. Thank you all for letting me know this is untrue. That still doesn't mean I like the lady.

From what I've read people in Alaska said she never pushed her beliefs through her public office even though she was very honest about them.

AARRGGHH!!  I forgot about this. FORTUNATELY, it's being rebroadcast on Sunday night.  My DVR is set to record the hi-def broadcast.

I'm very full and very logey.

[bk]

I did buy a 24 pack of water and five big bottles of Safeway Flavored Sparkling Water.  I tried very hard to watch Moontide on DVD, but I really don't like it at all.

[bk]

Listening to Fred Karlin's really terrific score for The Stalking Moon, which I watched earlier.

[bk]

Welcome fourteen GUESTS.

[bk]

Seventeen minutes later, no posts, and still have fourteen GUESTS.  Go know.

[DERBRUCER]

EUReKA is on tonight!

Der Brucer wants to watch Fringe.  Der Brucer can record Fringe.  I have already threatened him with my version of Chinese cooking if he doesn't behave.

You can bet I recorded Fringe!

 It was a much better world without the Internet, politics-wise - not much, but better.

Well, yes and no. With the Internet it is possible to access sites that help you verify the truthfulness of an accusation - in the "good" old days the dirt was spread by word of mouth - hard to verfiy and hardier yet to follow up with more truthful accounts. Internet communities like HHW make it easy to spread a lie to many folks at once, but there are also many folks to refute the tale if it is not true - as we have just witnessed.
