I need a screw hook.

What size? I have a lot of them...just stop over and I'd be happy to give them to you

Knowing you and all your skills, you'd probably wallpaper the kitchen, re-paint two rooms and refinish the cupboards!!!   :>)  As a matter of fact, fly out here-- DR Laura and I both could use your help!!!!

If Vera Bradley married Mr. City, she'd become VeraCity.

...and she'd be in SPASM.

[DAW]

I think DS Gabe's exploits have his father in SPASM today.

I hate it when that happens...

You plan it when that happens.

Has anyone had a yellow watermelon?  I was shocked when I discovered the inside was yellow.  It just doesn't seem right.  Of course if there was a sign that said the watermelon was yellow I never noticed.

DVR:
Eureka

DVD:
Jim Bowie (tv series)

Last night we watched SON OF LASSIE.  That Laddie kept bringing tears to our eyes.  It was my favorite of the Lassie movies & I hadn't seen it in, at least, 30 years.

Yes, I have!

Tastes just like a regular "pink" watermelon.  There are some "candy cane" ones on the market now too - dark pink and white/very light pink on the inside.  -Like some beets.

[DAW]

I wanted to be a percussionist, but I didn't like beets.

[Jane]

Of course you have DR Jose

I would not say it tastes exactly like a regular watermelon so maybe it is a bit off.  It is somewhat mushy.  I think it is weird.

Ah, so that was a sonic boom - I thought my darling oafs next door had dropped a tree on my house.

Session ended right at three, then Chris Denny, Brent, Brent's bf, videographer David Shine, and I toddled over to Genghis Cohen, where we had a splendidly splendid meal and stuffed ourselves silly, and had the best time.  I then came back to the Valley, picked up two packages, came home, addressed all the packages and put the CDs in them, so that tomorrow all Cason has to do is put postage on them and fill out customs forms, while I prepare the bigger dealer orders.  So, tomorrow should go fairly quickly.

I am pleased to be doing the last of the martial arts films on Blu-ray today: ZATOICHI. This one is Japanese instead of CHinese, so I'm assuming it's going to involve samauri rather than the kung fu I've seen in the three previous Hong Kong-based films. It's 116 minutes, too, so I hope being two hours it has some substance to it rather than just a lot of fighting. There are a couple of bonus items with it, but they don't appear to be lengthy.

Unless I am mistaken this is the blind Samurai/Masseuse character that Vixdad enjoys watching on Saturday mornings.   Was this an American or Japanese production?

Friday morning greetings!  Our household is up early today to see DS Rob off for his first first day of school.  Richard and I also have earlier-than-usual errands and obligations, so it all worked out.

There are 2 things occurring in our family today that I think are apropos to the 8th anniversary of 9/11.  Rob is starting his EMT training this morning, a fulfillment of his desire to "give back."  I think this desire of his was fueled, in part, by having those horrific events take place 4 days after his 16th birthday.

And then, tonight, we'll be going to the Franklin High School football game for the marching band's halftime tribute to John, former band director and firefighter.

 I hope that both events went well and they each bring  comfort to you r family

I spent most of the afternoon with THE BLIND SWORDSMAN: ZATOICHI, today's work project. By far my favorite of the films I've watched this week, it was funny, poetic, exciting, but very, very bloody (the director who also wrote the script and starred as the title character seems to love blood sprays for there are very many of them during the film's almost 2 hour-running time.)

 the ones Vixdad watches are in black & white and they are subtiteled - not dubbed and there is no blood (people just fall over dead)

I wonder if he would like the one you watched

[Matt H.]

My wireless keyboard has been giving me fits tonight. I guess the batteries ran down, and I put in freshly recharged batteries, but it's still acting dead. Bah! I hooked up my one other USB keyboard and am using it now, but I don't like the touch of it much. (I have about 10 PS2 style keyboards, but I don't have an adapter to plug them into so I can use the USB port.

I began my evening by watching another NCIS episode. It was one of those NCIS vs. FBI episodes which are never really my favorites. This one was OK, but there was a lot of tedious slapstick with Tony dropping drink in his lap due to bad karma of not returning change mistakenly given to him in a drive through.

[Matt H.]

Then I watched the CASTLE pilot episode from the forthcoming box set. Very entertaining from the first episode on. I'm going to go through these episodes slowly (if I can practice some self-discipline) because I want them to last a nice long time.

[Matt H.]

Next I watched the next in the Lex Barker set of Tarzan movies - TARZAN'S SAVAGE FURY. I don't believe I had ever seen this one before (with a new Boy and Patric Knowles as a quasi-villain.) I have only one of the Barker/Tarzan movies left to watch.

[Matt H.]

I was next going to watch MONK, but for some reason, it wasn't recording, and I didn't notice until 10 minutes into the show, so I just set the DVR to record the showing later this morning.

[vixmom]

Ginny I am so sorry that the tribute was dropped at the last second like that - surely you would have thought that someone would have noticed the date when it was first planned

[Matt H.]

So, I instead watched last night's PROJECT RUNWAY broadcast. I had NO problem with who was sent home, but BOY did I disagree with the winner. In fact, my favorite designs were in the middle "safe" group rather than any of the top three (though I did like the one that finished second).

[vixmom]

Elmore - thank you for your saavy shopping advice - I was able to get the Avenue Q CD (on sale at teh theatre for $25) brand new and factory sealed from a Dealer on Amazon.com for under $10 delivery included - and it arrived yesterday - only 2 days after it was ordered  - I was also able to order the "furry" book that was selling at the theatre for $30 for uder $6 shipping included - it has not yet arrived but ut is also advertised as brand new - 

[Matt H.]

No new review copies arrived today, so that clears the way to a complete weekend off. I am thrilled to be at liberty. I must choose some really fun things to watch with this free time since I'm expecting another battery of releases next week from Fox (all after street date, of course).

DR vixmom, a wonderful gift arrived today! Thank you so much!

My eyes ahve been bothering me a lot lately, I keep getting headaches.  Tonight I finally I went to the eye doctor for an chceckup - I explained about my recent radiation treatment and my theory that as it had taken some of my hearing I suspected it had worsened my eyesight as well- 


"Not so" said the optomertrist. " your eyes have actually gotten better due to the radiation treatment!" 

The problem is that my current prescription is now too strong!

The shop was closing so I didnlt have time to shop fpr a new pair of glasses but I will look over the  weekend .  I am also toying with the idea of contacts-- the Dr gave me a sample set to wear home and I quite liked them - the only problem being that although I can see perfectly well at a distance with the contacts I couldn't read unless I held  the paper at an arm's length f- so I would require reading glasses if I wear comtacts -

When I wear my contacts, I have to wear reading glasses, too. Regular glasses are bifocals, so that explains why I have to do it.

[Matt H.]

And speaking of eyes, mine are feeling very heavy so I'm heading down now to bed.

Good night!
