Glad to thear the show was a success and glad to hear we are gathering a half hour earlier.

I'm sore from yesterday. I'm about to make my oatmeal and coffee.

I'll see some of you tonight.

Later.

DR Ben - I keep meaning to ask you... My schedule is sort of open the next two weeks or so, so if you guys need more help stuffing baskets(?), well...

Freaky - in the hour and fifteen minutes since I've posted that post, I just got booked for three different projects covering eight days. 

But I still have some free time, so... We'll talk tonight at John's Pizza, DR Ben.

The grand total for the car repair and refresh was $168.70.  I got off much easier than other DR's this month.....car wise.

[Jrand73]

It's a sign of the times, DR JOSE.

It's a sign of the times, DR JOSE.

Well, with the way things have been going lately, hopefully, it's a sign of the times to come.  It's time to turn that downturn into an upturn(?).

I love the picture of Mr. Kimmel and Ms. O'Hara.

I think I may be the victim of a conspiracy:

The copy of Wall-E I ordered from DDD arrived today - but it is the 3-Disc Blue Ray version, not the 3-disc Special edition I ordered. (The shipping list shows the part number for the SE, and I was only charged for the SE).

Now, I either have to go through the hassle of a return, or…

It's a great picture!

The original cast album of Ahrens & Flaherty's The Glorious Ones is now available here.

True, but only as a download for now.  It won't be available as a physical CD (and booklet with notes and photos) for a while, yet.

Thanks for the link to the photos.    Now I can really cry at what I missed.

BTW, BK, you  look terrific!

[Dan (the Man)]

I guess I need to join Facebook to view the pictures.

Will I be obligated to be "cool" there?

Difficult, yes.  Took me a while to find the first disc--I thought I was ripped off.

Men.    Wearing Hats.    In Bed.    What would Miss Manners say?

I already know that a lady never wears colored gems before breakfast.  I wish someone had told me to take off my rubies before I ordered the omelette!

Vibes to Singdaw and DH.  Vibes to DRLaura too.

I finally joined after founding out I actually might know a few people and was assured that i didn't have to be a teenager.  I'm still adjusting to the 20th century, and this new century is too much for poor brain sometimes.  There was some leather event in Toronto last weekend that a friend sent pics of, so Facebook is turning out to be not too bad at all.

Unless something interesting comes in the mail today review-wise, I'll be stuck working on the latest TRANSFORMERS animated box set, 7 discs of cartoon episodes. This is going to take me days to get through these, one of the downsides of this job I usually enjoy very much.

DR Matt H - I meant to pass on my "condolences" yesterday when you mentioned this.

I'll talk more about it in a minute, but the problem with the show for me is that I'm watching episodes meant to be seen in daily bits over the course of a month or two instead of force-fed in three days. Thus, the battles all begin to look and sound alike, the good vs. evil scenarios are all formulaic, and the predictability of every episode is just a bit wearing. But, a job's a job, and everything can't be SINGIN' IN THE RAIN or THE MIRACLE WORKER.

New finale costumes for the Haynes sisters:

Betty


Judy



Phil & Bob

Jack---- those are just too real midwestern scary!

[Matt H.]

I watched some more OUR GANG shorts while I cooked and ate lunch. I remember the one where Farina was Stymie's "daddy" used to always make me so sad.

Well, after watching "Pokemon" marathons with my nephew, I know exactly what you're talking about.

[Matt H.]

I managed to get 9 episodes of TRANSFORMERS watched this afternoon. Just as I remembered them, but I can shave off about 2 minutes of each episode by skipping the opening and closing credits. When the battles start, I can fast forward through them and cut their running times in half. This is definitely helping stem some of the drudgery from watching this.

[Matt H.]

I did get another review copy in the mail from Paramount: AMERICAN TEEN, that semi-documentary that traces high school lives of five different "types." But it doesn't come out until the 21st, and since TRANSFORMERS comes out on the 16th, this was not a reprieve.

[Jrand73]

LOL DR KERRY......yes, there are people who dress like that in my neighborhood!

[Jrand73]

DR DtM - don't let anyone tell you that you are NOT cool.

I think you will find Facebook very interesting.

[Jrand73]

YELLOWSTONE KELLY is on the Westerns channel this month.  Clint Walker, Edd Byrnes, and Rex Reason.....one of many movies I saw at the drive in as a kid that I always enjoy watching again.

[Jrand73]

Except that now I want to watch the DVD of White Christmas....all this talk is driving me to it.

[Dan (the Man)]

Except that now I want to watch the DVD of White Christmas....all this talk is driving me to it.

I started watching mine last Saturday night.  Now I know that it's not the best of transfers, but I know that this last version I bought was the most vivid I had ever seen the film.  But as I watched it sat night, it looked terrible--like a copy that might have been shown on UHF during the 80's--all muddy and faded.

It took me a while to realize that earlier in the day I had pulled out all my cables from the back of my TV and I got lazy putting them back into place and I had just used the regular audio/video cables to hook up my DVD player and not used the S-video cable.  It did make an extreme difference.
