I'm so glad you are feeling better, DR Matt H.

I spent most of the afternoon working on HERO, the Jet Li martial arts film (the first of four martial arts movies I'll be watching and writing abouyt over the next week).

Like many movies of this type, the story is based on some Japanese legend with fact and fictional elements and martial arts staged as fantasy sequences within truly stunning visual splendor. This kind of thing is really not my cup of tea, but I can see how it would have great appeal to others.

Good Afternoon!

Oh...

Greetings from Richmond!

-Yes, Richmond. I just wanted to check in with my parents before heading back up to NYC, and also give them a chance to check back in with me. I shall (finally) return to NYC later tonight.

Ack! Ack-ack! It's Tuesday, Sept. 8th, and I'm back at work after six (count 'em 6) days off.

Yucky!!!

Had a dental appointment this morning. My bi-annual deep cleaning.

Yucky!

My dentist is a hoot, though!

Thank you, DR Laura. For a while there, I was beginning to think I'd never be able to escape those constant aches and the persistent throbbing. Some stiffness is still present and will take time to work itself out of the muscles and nerves, but when asked today to rate my level of discomfort on a scale of 0-10, I could say 1 with such glee. (Last week it was a 6.)

Has anyone here heard of the new Barbie being issued called "Divorce Barbie"?

Matt H. · « **Reply #99 on:** September 08, 2009, 01:27:14 PM »

There were four bonus features on the disc, but none was longer than 24 minutes (most were much shorter than that), so I finished them with time to spare.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #100 on:** September 08, 2009, 01:27:18 PM »

"Divorce Barbie" is supposed to have Barbie with a new wardrobe and everything that every Ken has come with.

I did have time to watch two episodes of LEVERAGE before I left for the therapy appointment (well, actually 1 1/2). Really enjoyed seeing the one about the race horse again. Very clever scam on a very bad guy.

And I ended my afternoon skimming through today's ATWT (nothing of interest though previews featured the boys tomorrow) and OLTL (Fish in a minor role).

I remember seeing "Hero" when I was in L.A. for What If?. Like you, it's not my usual cup of tea, but some of those action scenes and scenic vistas were truly breathtaking on the BIG screen - especially coupled with the Dolby THX soundtrack.

The cloest to a normal night of sleep that I've had in two months. It was 7 hours (though the last hour was kind of restless). And I feel ever so much better this morning. I haven't even had the hand cramps in my right hand that I have endured the last week or so. I am very eager to tell this good news to my therapist today. COuld this be my last visit? I truly hope so!

Good news and good luck, Matt!!

The therapy session was super easy because I was basically pain free, so I got a deep tissue massage and some stretching and that was all. However, I go back next week, I suspect for my last session, I think just to make sure the "cure" is continuing.

If I were you and massages were part of my physical therapy regimen, I would try to continue those as long as possible.

Wasn't there a recent two-for-one sale with Barbies? You could buy a Ken and he would come with a Barbie. But Barbie would come only with G.I. Joe.

Back from taking my mother to Walgreen's, Kroger, and Seeger's (deli & meat market). We had lunch at Seeger's, but not until almost 3pm. For someone who eats like a bird, my mother sure buys a lot at the grocery store!

My music from 12TH NIGHT has been delayed again. May ship in October....they wanted to know if I want to cancel my order.

NO - I will wait - you have my money. Send my CD.

However...

According to the band's website, All About HEM, any pre-ordered CDs will be autographed "By who, I don't yet know, but presumably at least the songwriters, except obviously not Shakespeare!".

There's also lots of other information about the music and the recording session on the site too.

You can also see the cover artwork HERE.

While I ate my hastily concocted lunch, I watched the first of last night's CASTLE repeats. I'm looking forward to new episodes of the show. The cast works well together, and Nathan Fillion is such a dreamboat.

I loved that line in the season finale....Castle and the detective are arguing over his "having people" with connections to a mob family. The detective says, "Why does this sound like a Mamet play"? Castle protests that his connections are real, and then his face brightens and he exclaims with delight, "I keep fogetting that you read plays!"

It tickles me every time I see it.

Well, I must hop off-line now and get started on writing up today's work project. Then it'll be back downstairs for lots of leisure viewing tonight. I don't have a clue what I'm going to watch.

That's also why "Divorce Barbie" costs $375.00 instead of $19.95 like most of the other models.

However...

I thought this "news" seemed familiar, and after some Googling, I came across this... from 2004:

Back from a productive working lunch with Mr. Kevin Spirtas - got a lot done and have structured out the song order - I'm sure I'll make changes, but it's a very good start.

I had no packages other than some boxes I had ordered from USPS - the fact is, I ordered six cartons of various-sized boxes and only one arrived today, despite the fact they were all shipped at exactly the same time. Happily, the one that arrived is the one I needed, the box-size I was completely out of.

Did you get your fax?

elmore3003 · « **Reply #118 on:** September 08, 2009, 02:34:10 PM »

No word from George; if I knew another carpenter, besides Karen and Richard, I would hire him ASAP.

Also, no word from Jeff Saver.

bk · « **Reply #119 on:** September 08, 2009, 02:34:25 PM »

Got the fax - I spoke strongly to them about the fact that no one had told me it was there, nor had there been a slip left in my box to alert me.
