Ghost Whisperer spoiler

Just odd that it wouldn't have occurred to Melinda that what she was doing was so public (helping to find the girl), but I see what you're saying, Jennifer

Good morning, all! I dreamed that a whole group of friends from the Kern-Herbert project and I went to a horror film and this dream became intertwined with a dream about a group of 1917 Kern musicals I was touring with as the musical supervisor. I remember little now of this megillah: talking on the phone to Sargent Aborn of Tams-Witmark about the production, riding in a car to the horror film and going to the balcony to look for better seats, talking to a young lady at the box office who was seeing the shows when the tour got to Egypt or wherever, trying to wash my hair with a shampoo that would lighten it because there was no other in the bathroom and wonderng why a friend had left it behind, and waking up because of mass murder in the theatre. Oy.

I suppose it was last night's PSYCH that brought this on; it certainly wasn't the bio I'm currently reading.

I have a Finale lesson at 11 and this evening, dinner and a visit with DR Ben.

I think I will take my walk, wander about the Upper West Side for a bit, pick up a treat for DR Ben's visit, and then come back and do a little Finale work before my lesson. I'm getting worried about this Finale 2006 program possibly expiring before too long, and if Josh doesn't take care of registering it, I'll lose it and have to find a used or program for 2006 sitting on a shelf somewhere. Does anyone know of a possible source if I need to handle this myself?

I am in that minority than does not love or obsess over granite countertops. Some are lovely, yes, and one friend who has them says they're indestructible, but I had Corian in my last kitchen and was really very happy with it. I did a lot of Indian cooking at one time and some tumeric stained the Corian. Matt did a little research and learned that Soft Scrub is a bit abrasive and took the stain right out, without any shadow.

I agree that lighter floors show less dirt than darker ones. In one house I installed a lovely dark cobalt blue tile in the kitchen, thinking it wouldn't show the dirt. It did. But the white tile I installed in the bathroom did not. Live and learn.

My oatmeal has been consumed, I drank my coffee, I washed my bowl and coffee mug, I went to the Post Office, I ran my virus scan and now I will shave. Later I will visit my dear friend Larry Moore (some of you may know him).

Oh, yes, I got an on-line Valentine from Anthony. I sent him a card and an on-line card as well.

My Valentine's Day is very nice so far.

AND I don't have to go to work on Monday!

Hi Ben.

When you're working with small spaces, as I was in my last house, you can often use pricier materials, because you need so little of them. When I remodeled the bathroom in my last house I used marble tiles for the countertop. Since Matt did all the work we were able to achieve a posh look at a budget price. In fact, the whole remodel was the price of the first cabinet estimate, ie cabinet ONLY.

I have a friend in my old neighborhood who buys house that really need work. He guts them, then does much of the work himself, assisted by a handyman who works very cheaply. Bart's houses always turn out very nicely. He is VERY budget-conscious, but he is also extremely talented artistically. You can indeed achieve a lot without paying a lot.

I have this great tile floor in my kitchen that hides an amazing amount of dirt. It was in the house when we bought it, so it's got some chips by now. I love it.

Some day we will all have to post photos of our floors, you know.

Laura, I had a carpet like that once. It had little specks of different colors in it. You could drop anything on it and it wouldn't show. You also wouldn't be able to find said dropped object again.

My question is what room were you enjoying Clint Walker in and how good was he?

Good morning!

It was raining lightly here this morning, but it appears the skies are clearing a bit as I type this. The forecast said it was going to rain all day, so we'll see about that. Temps are in the 50s.

"Last Dance" is my favorite ever disco song.

Other favorites: "It's Raining Men," "I Will Survive," "Y-M-C-A," "Stayin' Alive," "On the Radio."

Since I watched SHADOWS last night (but didn't write much of it up since I was working on finshing up the MURDER SHE WROTE review), I will work on the remaining bonus features on that Criterion disc before moving on.

It's obvious this is a simple reprint of an earlier Criterion release (2004?) of SHADOWS. There don't appear to be any new bonuses or a newly remastered transfer. The film is always going to look raw and grainy so I guess they just didn't bother trying to make it look any better.

Matt H. · « **Reply #57 on:** February 14, 2009, 07:36:32 AM »

Speaking of Miss Linda Purl, I meant to mention the other night after I watched it that Linda Purl did guest star on one of the episodes I watched in this 9th season set. As it turned out, she was the murderer. Funny because she guest starred in an earlier season episode (one set in the South with Barry Nelson as a Tennessee Williams-like playwright), and she was the murderer on that one, too. Though MURDER SHE WROTE recycled guest stars many times during its 12 season run, it's rare when the same guest star would be the murderer more than once. Sometimes they'd be the murderer in one episode and years later be the victim in another episode.

RE: GHOST WHISPERER:

Melinda isn't particularly intuitive at all about her own life; that's not her talent. She sees ghosts and can communicate with them. But she's not psychic; she doesn't have visions about the future. So, it didn't surprise me at all that she got caught on camera. As I said, I just saw no reason for her to be lying about being at the firehouse. It's a small town and an easy lie to refute. It was just dumb, and I think clunky writing on the part of the show's writers just to add some conflict between Melinda and Sam/Jim so he'd doubt whether he could get serious about a girl who'd lie so easily. Bah! I guess they have to stretch out Melinda's revelation to Sam about his true identity until the end of the season for the cliffhanger.

I hope to see my first episode of BURN NOTICE recorded from USA-HD today while I eat lunch. (I did see a couple of episodes from season one in HD recorded off Universal-HD a few weeks ago.) I'm excited to see it, and am SO happy that now MONK, PSYCH, BURN NOTICE, and LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT will be available to me in HD after such a long period of waiting.

Now, if my cable system would add FX-HD, I'd have to start searching around for something else to bitch about!
