And speaking of the movie Twilight, is anybody else excited about seeing it?

I am so excited (btw has anybody seen those "team edward" + "team jacob" tshirts?) i want one!

I don't think i will get to go till next tuesday. But i am very anxious. I just hope that the actors do the characters from the books justice.

DR Jose, now that I know the delicious looking doughnut is cranberry I don't want it anymore :)

Would you prefer "Roasted Chestnut" instead?


Maybe, I would have to taste it.

My 3 year old niece cried when my sister (her mother) said that she could not watch ANTM with us. She literally bawled.

Anyhow my sis said she could watch 5 minutes. So she picked her favorite.

Well when the show ended she was in her bed but still not asleep. So i went to tell her that her favorite had won. She pumped her hand and said "yeah!".

Then she turned to me and said, "what did she win?"

Good night.

I'm planning to get a large screen HDTV TV when I move to Texas in March

Because everything in Texas is large?      ;)

Actually, I have a 50" now.  Thought I might go up to 52".

[Boy, did I leave myself open on that one.]

 :D
Please feel free to send your old one to Long Island

Of course I will have to throw out the sofa to make room for it  - but we can sit on the floor

Sony® Blu-ray Disc™ High-Definition DVD Player
Quote
See the world in high-definition. Blu-ray delivers 1080p, which is sharper than ordinary DVD, and enhances the playback of standard DVDs by upconverting their video resolution to HDTV-compliant 720p, 1080i, or 1080p via the HDMI™ connection. Audio features Dolby® Digital/DTS® 5.1-channel output. Multiformat CD/DVD playback. Includes remote.


this is probably a dumb question, and I suspect I know the answer - is there any point in getting a bluray dvd player if I don't have a HDTV?

I jsut was notified by by credit card company that I have enough "points" to get the above Sony blu ray -  Matt H, what are your thoughts?

What model is that, the 300?

Anyway, without an HDTV, you'd see no real differences to speak of. The machine would be downconverting 1080p transfers so your 480i TV could display it. I don't see the point.

Better to save your pennies and get an HDTV. They're really quite reasonable now, especially last year's 720p models in smaller sizes. I priced an RCA 32" LCD HDTV last week for $399. Other brands cost more but there are deals to be had.

Thanks MattH,  I thought as much.  We can also get a free HDTV  with the points  but it is only a 19 inch and Vixdad thought it would be much too small

Dear Lord...

Jose - in a word "yes"  :D
DH Jed, who is a former HS music teacher, has always had a deep loathing of show choirs, and it is just because of this tacky, over-the-top quality.  Neither Jed nor I have any use for it.  It simplifies music in order to add cheesy choreography.  The sad part is that when schools have a show choir, most of the time it becomes the "top" group, and gets the best singers.  A chamber choir or jazz choir that could otherwise be very good, is left to suffer.  But don't get me started :)

Greetings to one and all. Not only  am I posting from the laptop, I'm posting wirelessly. The DSL kit arrived today. It took a bit of futzing but we seem to be up and running. The desktop is connected and I wanted to try the laptop as well. It works. I'm very happy. Now I have to shut everything down and turn it back on and make sure it's not a fluke. That's why I'm up past 10pm.

That's a good reason to be up late. Also I only have 4 more days in the RH!!!

I just found a clip on YouTube of Scott Bakula singing Not While I'm Around at the 93 Kennedy Center Honors Sondheim event.  This makes me happy.  I love Bakula, and I love the song.  The interpretation is interesting, though.  At one point they cut to a shot of Sondheim listening to this, and I'd pay good money to know what was going through his head.  He's smiling, true, but there's a definite thought behind there.

Some college in Texas did a Sondheim evening - he attended.  It was taped....used to be on A/E now and then.....lots of shots of him in the audience, smiling.....but you wonder.



Yep, I believe that was taped at Texas A&M, and was presented in conjunction with the school's own production of A Little Night Music.

Now I can't stop watching -

This one is a medley with Cell Block Tango and Mein Herr.  Mildly disturbing coming from high school girls...

the test very easy - just a lot of waiting - I got to the facility about 15 minutes early so I could fill in paperwork but they had it all pre-done since I had had my CT done at its sister facility  2 weeks ago

I had to wait about a half hour befoer I was called and thenI changed into my sweats, and they shot me up with a radioatic dye and then sent me into  a little room to wait.  I had a recliner and a TV and remote and a blanket if - they had only exchanged the quart of barium liquid I had to drink for a bottle of wine it would have been the perfect way to spend the day 

I actually ended up falling asleep - the tech  (an absolutely lovely woman)
very gently woke me and led me to the machine -

then I just had to lie down with my head in a "brace" so I couldn't move it side to side - and my arms to my side and they bound me with velcro - so I wouldn't move and started the test

the machine just made a soft humming noice - I had been envisioning the loud banging of an MRI (and I HATE loud noices) so I was pleasantly suprised

I am not sure how long the test took because I fell asleep again

they let me leave with a CD of the test and a promise that my doctor would have it tomorrow

On the drive home I received a call from  oncologist giving me thename if the radiation dr.  I have an appoinmtent with him for this Friday morning -  I had to arrange for a "referral" (for insurance) for 6 Dr visits and 40 radiation treatments---


by time this is done I won't be able to use the computer -  I'll probably make it go all wobbly just by walking into the room
