I am so sorry - but I worked from 9am until 7:30 PM to day and then came home and told Vixdad and the Vixter the news and then I was calling all my family members I am exhausted - I will try to get on tomorrow and catch up



Have a wonderful night and a glorious tomorrow!!!

After a day that started at 4:00 AM and included driving a total of 7 hours and attending a seminar only to return to find something upsetting and unexpected at the office I am grouchy.  I was mad as hell, but rather than filing a reply and saying what I really think, I decided to sleep on it.  I've calmed down and am glad I waited.   Tomorrow I'll be much more professional about it

Tomorrow DN David, who had the heart valve replacement, gets his gall bladder out.  His heart is doing fine, but his gall bladder has been causing him all sorts of problems.   Vibes would be appreciated again...they worked wonders last time

Oh, and the Blu-ray looks just wonderful. My DVD of LICENCE TO KILL is slightly soft and has some processing problems, but this transfer is clear as a bell and rock steady with no aliasing or moiré to be seen, and there were plenty of places where it could have cropped up, but it never did.

Did they also have the unedited version of the film?

No. There is only the theatrical cut that was rated PG-13.

5. The Finale Song : The down-home feel of 'No Boundaries' set Allen up for a win. He knocked it out of the park because of his ability to really connect with the song's lyrics about overcoming obstacles and persevering.

The only thing he knocked out of the park was his own voice during that often strained and vocally bankrupt rendition.

I got the rest of the bonus features completed on LICENCE TO KILL. There weren't quite as many as with some of the other Bond Blu-rays. The "making of" documentary was the best of the bonuses (the recent one; the EPK one that came out at the time of the film's premiere is a puff piece extraordinaire.)

Next, I watched another episode from the Season 2 box set of NCIS. In this one, Tony inhales a powdery substance that turned out to be pneumonic plague which he contracts. A very tense and yet tender episode.

Next, I pulled out the SOUTH PACIFIC Blu-ray and watched the documentary on the stage and screen versions of the play. It is 90 minutes long, but it's in high definition, so I wanted to watch it.

Ted Chapin mentions that SOUTH PACIFIC won 10 Tony Awards. I don't think that's right. DOLLY won 10 which was the record for decades until THE PRODUCERS won 12. Seems like the last time I looked, SOUTH PACIFIC won 9, but maybe I'm misremembering.

And I ended my evening watching about an hour and a quarter of tonight's UGLY BETTY. Really loved the first episode tonight. It was sweet and romantic and filled with yearning and angst. I still have most of the second episode to go.

I got a bunch more review discs in the mail today, but the earliest isn't due until June 2, so I still have time to finish the pile I am currently working on.

It's been a long day, so I think it's time I headed downstairs and went to bed.

Good night!

I was going to do jail visits on my way to visit my parents on Saturday.  I'm thinking that maybe I'll just cancel it and take the weekend off.

Good Evening!

Greetings from the bus, Today's Bus, to be exact.

We're due to leave at 12:30, but that departure time always seems to have some wiggle room either way. However, this driver always manages to make the trip in under six hours... Wheeeeee!!!!

*I called my brother, and it turns out he doesn't have the kids this weekend... Well, not until Sunday night, so... :-\

Thanks DR Jose.  I'm going to.  I'm going to the lake and spend a few days with my parents.  The girls will have their usual sitter.  I'm looking forward to helping my mom get everything ready for the summer. We'll also go to an annual flea market and just hang out around the lake.

I guess "down-home feel" must be a euphemism for "crappity-crap-crap".

Thanks for the Vibes DR Jose.  Hopefully this will do the trick and Dave can recover.  Jhvw and his parents all have colds and are pretty exhausted.  It's been quite stressful for them all.
