I had an e-mail from my designer with the cover of the CD that follows the one I'll announce tonight, and it made me laugh out loud - it's quite brilliant and I know our genre fans here will buy this JUST because of the cover.

I am having a very nice day - I slept in much later than usual, cleaned up the kitchen and am relaxing with the girls (my two cats Callie and Boo). Callie seems to be having a second kittenhood - she's been playing with toys she hasn't been interested in for years. Pretty cute to see

thanks for asking td & vixmom. yesterday morning was pretty rough, proceeded by a very painful night. so far today is much better though terribly painful. i've decided i'm going to double my wee morning pain meds and see if that helps. i need it the most then.

I just reviewed ANGEL HEART's new BD release. I've always rather liked the film and feel a lot of what is obvious to today's audiences was more surprising when it was first released--at least it was to me. I almost always guess "twists" right off the bat, and ANGEL HEART surprised me quite a bit when I first saw it. I was very pleased with the picture upgrade of the new BD.

I'm thinking about baking this afternoon, just not sure what I want to make....cookies or treats of some sort. Anyone have suggestions on favorite holiday cookies/treats?

I heard singers today singing in the keys of Z flat, Q sharp and J... often simultaneously. The musicians accompanying them played in P minor.

Good afternoon everyone.

More holiday cd's for me today. Brent Barrett Christmas Mornings, Andrea Bocelli My Christmas, Yo-Yo Ma & Friends Songs of Joy & Peace, White Christmas soundtrack, Sting If on a Winter's Night, Christmas with the Rat Pack, Mannheim Steamroller Christmas Extraordinaire.

I fluctuate between being spiritual and agnostic but still love the music during the holidays. It makes me happy, that next year will be ok.

Who needs AVATAR when we have all of these great movies to revisit?

So, who needs new American Musical Shows when we have those great Rogers and Hart shows to revisit.

It's starting to cloud up after being so pretty for most of the day. It's very cold (my washer-dryer are on the back porch which isn't heated, so I could tell how cold it was!s

I need to take my DVD off the shelf and rewatch the movie to see if I can live with the transfer I have or if I must have the upgrade. It's not a movie I revisit that often, but I like it just enough to want a better copy if the one I have isn't very good. I honestly don't remember what it looked like.

If we're talking SHREK or NINE TO FIVE, you're right. There may be something else coming in that's more appealing. To be judged on a case by case basis. AVATAR (though I haven't seen it) doesn't seem to be for me if its trailer is to be indicative of its allure.

Still addressing customs forms - what a drag that's become - it used to be so much easier with less than an ounce overseas packages - now it takes twice as long - ridiculous. And interestingly, no overseas countries have to do it for packages coming here.

I spent all afternoon with some crackerjack mysteries. I started with disc three in PERRY MASON, Season One, a set I opened months ago but am only now getting to disc three. I watched four episodes in a row including one that I watched while I ate lunch.

Matt H. · « **Reply #80 on:** December 06, 2009, 01:18:53 PM »

Of the four cases, I guessed two murderers correctly. I missed one flat out and as for the fourth, there just weren't enough clues to be able to arrive at a conclusion since the corpse disappeared after being declared dead. That was the best plotted mystery with a very excellent conclusion.

Guest stars include many typical 50s actors: Peggie Castle, Pierre Watkin, Paul Cavanaugh. I especially enjoyed seeing James Anderson (who played the redneck semi-literate Bob Ewell in TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD) playing a journalist, slimy but definitely not a redneck.

I ended my afternoon watching HERCULE POIROT'S CHRISTMAS on DVD. This is one of the few Agatha Christie books I ever managed to guess the murderer before Poirot unmasked the culprit. It's a locked room mystery, but I caught on to the author's "trick" so early that it was fun seeing her drop tiny clues in the rest of the book. Seeing the filmed version, the murderer seems even more obvious and so do those small hints toward the identity of the guilty party.

There doesn't seem to be much going on with the internet this afternoon, so I'll close things down here, go clean my bathroom, put away the already folded laundry, and then head back to the home theater for more viewing.
