Got all of my various Sunday evening chores done (bathroom cleaned, laundry put away), and get settled earlier than usual in front of the TV. That allowed me to get a lot of things watched.

Page Nine Dance!!!

I did get the last three episodes of JAG watched. Of course, the season ended on a cliffhanger, and the star had to quit the Navy to go rescue his lady (even though they've stubbornly resisted the attraction they obviously feel for one another).

The set had a 3-minute gag reel. Not all that funny as these things go.

Next, I watched the last episode on disc 3 of MOONLIGHT. This is the episode that ended the Corraline story arc. I was glad to see her go, but it did end with Mick finally eating food after 50 years, and even when I saw that the first time, I could almost taste all those wonderful looking things he was eating and enjoying so much.

Makes me a little sad, though, since there is only one disc left in the set, and then no more episodes of MOONLIGHT. Oh, if CBS had ONLY had more faith in the show catching on. One year away from the vampire rage of TWILIGHT and TRUE BLOOD.

Next, I took out the Blu-ray of THE UNIVERSE and watched the first episode. It was on the Sun, and was quite fascinating. I've always loved astronomy, but haven't kept up on reading about it for many years, so this offered so many facts about the Sun I either had forgotten or didn't know about at all.

Only disappointment was that the Blu-rays are presented in 1080i rather than 1080p. A small quibble and might not have made any difference in video quality, but why do this?

Next, I watched DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. Some OK plots (a couple of surprises), but I wanted to slap Lynette and Tom silly for acting like five year olds.

And I ended the evening with toniught's BROTHERS & SISTERS.

Ryan and Rebecca getting together so quickly? Argh!

I think I'm finished with my viewing for this evening.

Good Evening!

So... I believe I am officially brain dead right now. Well, at the point where my brain has shut down - or should shut down. I just came from a "brief" recording session which ended up lasting about four and a half hours. I was thinking, hoping that it would last only and hour. Ah, well... And then it turned out we were doing two songs. And I also had to teach the backing vocals for both of them. Oh, and I had to play too. OY! I was cringing during the playbacks listening to my feeble attempts at trying to sound "groovy" and "funky". Thankfully, I think - and hope - that the tracks I recorded were mainly used as a "scratch track" for the vocals. The recording engineer did "help me out" in a few places, and I do know that the composer/mix-downer will also be sweetening the track too. In any case...

Whew!

DR JoseSPiano - you had more patience with that rude, selfish woman than I would have had. Sorry about your jacket.

Thanks, DR DAW. I'm just glad that I took my wallet, keys and ID out of my jacket pockets before I placed it in in the overheard bin. However, I also "lost" a pair of 180s - those wrap-around earmuffs. Thankfully, it does seem that Spring is most definitely in the air, and since I'm heading to Charleston, SC, on Wednesday for six weeks...

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #252 on:** March 08, 2009, 09:02:17 PM »

...Yes, I will be heading down to Charleston, SC, on Wednesday for about six weeks. -Yes, six weeks. I will be music directing and conducting a production of The Producers for Charleston Stage. I am looking forward to working down there, but I'm not looking forward to all the STUFF I have to get done over the next two days. Lots and lots of stuff!

*And after looking at the projected forecast and temps for Charleston over the next couple of weeks, I will definitely not need a heavy jacket.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #253 on:** March 08, 2009, 09:02:34 PM »

DR vixter - Thanks for checking in.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #254 on:** March 08, 2009, 09:03:41 PM »

And I know there were a few other posts that I wanted to respond to, but... Me not able to think right now...

Goodnight.

I just read that the ratings for the season finale of BURN NOTICE on Thursday night broke its own record and will rank as the highest rated series on cable for the week.

As I said, if NBC had a brain in its head, it would make plans to run the series on the network next season and not on USA. Even on USA, it garnered those record ratings while airing a show opposite NEW episodes of ELEVENTH HOUR and ER on CBS and NBC.

TOmorrow I'll be workingf on the next Criterion Blu-ray release: THE 400 BLOWS. I love this movie, but I haven't seen it in quite a long time. I think there is a fair amount of bonus material, too, so I don't know how much prime time TV I'll get to watch tomorrow night, apart from '24,' that is, which is a must-see Monday night event.

Matt H. · « **Reply #257 on:** March 08, 2009, 09:08:49 PM »

Oh, my! It's after midnight, so I must head down to bed.

Good night!

Jose - Did they leave out the detail that they had booked the studio for four hours? Or was it in someone's home studio?

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #259 on:** March 08, 2009, 09:26:46 PM »

Glad to see that you have returned safely from your travels Jose...

I am so close....

Finished the notes, which took over an hour to write.

bk · « **Reply #262 on:** March 08, 2009, 10:40:09 PM »

Now I'm listening to bossa nova, baby.

Sam · « **Reply #263 on:** March 08, 2009, 11:44:07 PM »

if BK's notes took an hour to write, I better get up extra early to read them.

Thank you to everyone for saying welcome to the site. Thank you to everyone for helping me figure things out.

Circuit City: I always saw their prices as higher than most of the other stores around here. For Dora the Explorer: just out of interest I asked a mother and daughter what they thought, and both said they will switch to another show. And both said Diego was much cooler anyway.

Dear Cillaliz, Van Morrison brings back great memories of driving Pacific Coast Hwy during the summer vacations of high school. Really good memories. I will probably always like his music from those years.
And still do listed to his cd, Still on Top-The Greatest Hits.

Now, I must take a shower and get dressed (oh, I also did laundry last night so that I can go to my sister's house. We're all meeting there before we head up to Seattle and The Manhattan Transfer!

Have a good day, all!

I got back from the concert and watched tonight's episode of "Brothers and Sisters." Their plot really doth thicken!

Anyway, the concert was great! They did about one hour and that was it. It may not seem like a lot but they were very good. For dinner, I had a Caesar salad with marinated organic chicken (sorry, no picture) and it was pretty good. And the best part was that my sister said that it was my birthday present! I don't have to pay her back. Of course, my birthday isn't until May, so it was a very early present. Fine with me.

Dear George, I took the easy way and had someone come over and help me with my avatar, so I did cheat a little.
