I'll head downstairs now to gather up clothes for the laundry and then start fixing some lunch. I have a silent movie to watch!

Of course, since I was down in Virginia the past couple of days, I had planned to go to the grocery store this afternoon... And now with the snow coming in, well... We shall see. However, since I'm heading down to Birmingham on Wednesday, I don't have to do any major shopping, but I'm just wondering if there will be anything left on the shelves for me to shop.

I'm like Matt H. - the only time I'll use my zoom function on the tv is when the film is not anamorphically encoded.
Disney's HERCULES is another one which has not yet been released in a proper transfer, come to think of it, neither has Disney's BLACK CAULDRON.
I just watched a Bollywood film, from 2006, which was not anamorphically encoded(!) and in the 'scope format, but I couldn't zoom in on it because the subtitles were placed in the bottom black bar. . .JODHAA AKBAR was the movie, and it was lovely to look at, but, with a scope aspect in the center of the screen it was just maddening.

Greetings from Houston. As I got off the plane I could smell Texas style BBQ and after the past 4 days I was hungry for beef! So I stopped at the BBQ place on my way to the gate and it was very very good

Pam's flight to Omaha via Atlanta was cancelled. She left for the airport at 4:30 AM and was still there when I left. They told her she'd have to go tomorrow and she didn't push the issue for awhile. After she finally tried to get another flight, the told her she could have been on a flight through Salt Lake, but it was too late now. Anyway, she's on standby for a flight through Atlanta that should just be leaving New Orleans. Hope she made it on. She won't get to Omaha until 9:00 PM.

On the other hand, I left the hotel at 6:45 PM and assuming this last flight is on time, which so far so good, I'll get to Omaha about 1:45 PM. Vibes she made it on the plane, but in all honesty, I'm glad it wasn't me

I am so glad to be going home. I enjoy traveling, but not as much as I used to. I'm ready to be home and away from the smell of Bourbon Street. It's such a nast smell and I have a feeling everything in my suitcase smells that way. I'll be doing laundry tonight

The worst part for Pam is they blamed it on the weather, so if she can't get out of New Orleans until tomorrow (there aren't that many flights out of New Orleans and all of them seem to be full) she'll have to pay for her room and everything else. I think they can give her discounts on hotels, but they didn't do that. I think I would have tried harder to get out of there on another airline if not on Delta

Jrand, as MattH correctly said, on a widescreen TV Academy ratio films should have black or gray on either side of the image (reverse letterboxing), which should be in the middle of the TV. Just as film purists always wanted their films letterboxed to the correct ratio (widescreen/scope) in the pre-widescreen TV days, film purists would never watch an Academy film modified to fit their new widescreen TV. As you know, non film purists always wanted their 4.3 TVs to have a full-screen image, even if it was pan-and-scan.

How was the signing, DR DRUXY?

Not the best. Not the worst. Several old friends showed up to get a book and say "goodbye".

Parking for the bookstore is a nightmare, which is probably one of the reasons that they're going out of business.

DR DRUXY, which bookstore is this?

I'm on a regional jet from Houston to Omaha. I hate being in the commuter part of the airport, It's a total zoo here.

Thanks, I don't see a text from her, so i don't know if she made the Atlanta flight or not.

You said "hornpipe".

It was entirely intentional!

I wish it weren't so, but I fear that there will soon be no mom-and-pop bookstores left in LA and environs - there are only a few now, less than a handful, I think, and they are all in danger of closing, save for the Iliad in North Hollywood, which is, perhaps, my least favorite bookstore of all time - I loathe the people who run it.

I'm listening to Walter Scharf's lovely score to The Geisha Boy.

FJL, it just means that the message was not read "immediately" It went through and was received in the person's mailbox but they didn't read it until the time noted.

That wasn't very humble, was it?

It's the quiet ones you always have to worry about.

Happy to oblige. I just break out in smiles thinking about him and his sister Riley. She's still too young to have a formed personality as sharp as Jayden's.

Here he is with his beautiful mom yesterday!

I just got back from my walk; it's a very crisp, chilly day, and there's some snow falling very lightly. I wanted to walk in Riverside Park but it's too cold and windy down there but i bet it's quite beautiful.

Now listening to Walter Scharf's marvelously marvelous score to The Nutty Professor.

So far, it's strictly been a "me" day.
