Excellent movie choices, most of which I've enjoyed. The one film mentioned that I hated beyond hate was De-Lovely.

Once again, we disagree.

Shall now go out and do a couple of errands, after which I shall return, pack, and then have the rest of the day and evening to my very own self.

Why is Jose's avatar so teeny-tiny - and no, that is not a euphemism.

Because new avatars added to the new board can only be 65 by 65 pixels at the most. Avatars from the old board could be up to 110 by 150 pixels. $:-\$

Now, I must leave and go to rehearsal.

Have a good day, all!

I watched SUPERNATURAL while I ate lunch. Excellent episode with really good performances, especilly Jensen Ackles.

That makes two of us.

Our Time Warner cable service has added MGM-HD to our high def service.

Today they were showing THE RED SHOES in high def. Several things wrong. It was a dirty print of the movie, slightly washed out. But the worst offense was that it had been matted to 1.78:1!!! It looked nice and sharp, but in the medium dance scenes, Shearer's feet are sliced off.

I also skimmed through yesterday's AS THE WORLD TURNS, but no Luke and he wasn't in the previews for next week.

Matt H. · « **Reply #103 on:** November 22, 2008, 01:52:12 PM »

I also watched the rest of IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME. I've always loved this movie.

All right. Heading back to the home theater now to watch WHITE DOG. It's 90 minutes, and there don't seem to be a ton of bonuses with it, so I might be able to squeeze in something for fun tonight, too!

It was cool and sunny today so I went and filled up on Indian food, then came home and tackled the rest of the leaves in the back yard and trimmed a bush or two.

Now I am showered, dressed in a kurta, and planning to flop on the couch with Freddy and LIFE ON MARS.

Very anxious to hear about the transfer of White Dog - the DVD cannot come soon enough for me and will, in fact, hopefully be waiting for me upon my return.

bk · « **Reply #107 on:** November 22, 2008, 03:36:20 PM »

Along with all the other packages and mail - none of which arrived today.

Gee, really, I'm the only one in the jernt? Really? I'm afraid this will NOT do and I am once again irked. In case you haven't noticed we're still on page four and on our way to the lowest posting day in the history of this board. And WHY? Oh, yes, I am irked, and there will be a reckoning, oh, yes, there will be a reckoning.

I'm packed - so much for packing light. I forgot to put underwear and socks into the box I shipped ahead - so that's suddenly twenty items I wasn't counting on packing. Plus the new jeans, a couple of t-shirts, a belt (also forgot to put in the box), my mini-backup drive, and suddenly the suitcase is jammed. Unbelievable. Coming back, it will definitely be lighter.

Ah, my hotel does have a full fitness center. So, I might try the treadmill there if it's too cold. Of course, I'll have to figure out how to USE the treadmill and figure out how to jog on it, but it's a good alternative, as is the exercise bike, which I know how to use, although it uses a whole different set of muscles. There's also a sauna bath and I'll use that for sure.

bk · « **Reply #111 on:** November 22, 2008, 04:19:45 PM »

So, if anyone knows the treadmill deal, tell me.

Good evening!

Well... I guess even I thought it was a bit on the "too cold" side this afternoon, so...

I just ended up talking a brief walk around the 'hood, and then stopped into a great little Mexican place, El Toro Partido, for a torta with pollo con chipotle. Muy delicioso!

Treadmills are easy. Most of the machines have instructions on them, so just read everything. Basically, just start off slow, then increase the speed as you get more comfortable. *And most machines have an emergency stop button on them too, as well as a clip that you clip to your shirts or shorts. If you happen to "leave" the treadmill, then it will stop the motor.

Busy busy day putting shades and blinds and curtains and drapes back into place over my new windows. Now I can once more feel free to walk around my house naked without embarrassment.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #115 on:** November 22, 2008, 04:42:53 PM »

I was going to make some comment about the how well the drapes "fell" but decided the expression I had in mind was not really suitable for a family site.

Dan (the Man) · « **Reply #116 on:** November 22, 2008, 04:44:13 PM »

Also cleaned away the magazines and catalogs that have already managed to clutter up the joint since September. The catalogs come unbidden through the mail, but where did all these magazines come from? REAL SIMPLE? COUNTRY LIVING? I don't remember buying these!

Tomovoz · « **Reply #117 on:** November 22, 2008, 04:47:21 PM »

Perhaps your visitors bring them DR DtM. They may fill in the time when you are playing with your new windows and appreciating the vista.

We've has rain at long last here. I wonder if it is wet in NJ?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #119 on:** November 22, 2008, 04:48:56 PM »

Magazines show up all the time.....they are no respecters of persons. At the end of last year, I had three copies of Family Circle or something like that - and two Knitting magazines.
