Anthony is looking at new cameras and will probably get a Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS. It's easy to use and the picture quality is very good (for a point and shoot). The two things he doesn't like is the power source is a rechargeable lithium battery and it doesn't come with a memory card, you have to buy one along with the camera (it does come with a battery charger though). The Canon PowerShot A1000 IS uses AA batteries (supplied with the camera) and comes with a 32mb memory card (ahh, the days when 32 megabytes was considered huge) so at least you can take some pictures right out of the box.

Yes, I used to tell me people that I was a 32 megabyte memory card, just to get dates.

Your dance card must have been really scary.

My rant would be about prosecutors never keeping their word. You reach an oral agreement, talk to your client, act on the fact that you have an agreement then when you get it in writing it's completely different and the response is always, well, yes, I agreed with you but my supervisor said we can't do that. The latest one was the supervisor telling me over five different times he'd join in a motion I was filing. I filed the motion and a week later he said "just wanted to give you a heads up that I won't be joining the motion after all" . It drives me crazy!

i had no idea that went on, at least on a semi-regular basis. it doesn't seem right.

Oh, it goes on all time. Sometimes things turn out ok...the one that was driving me the most crazy when I posted this turned out ok today. Actually better than ok.

I believe I've determined definitively that one cannot live on Crunchberries alone.

Of course, I still miss "Boo Berry". But I do love my Crunchberries. Alone.

As in sans milk or you like to eat them when no one is around and you are all alone?

Did anyone watch Men of a Certain Age?

(The TV show, that is...)

Not sure what I think. I could either love it or not depending on where it goes from here

Couldn't take more than 5 minutes of COMMUNITY. Switched to Universal Sports to watch ski jumping and cross county skiing.

Thanks for the update. I'm still shaking my head

I am going to spend the next three days trying to make a major "life" decision. At the moment I am very seriously considering quitting my job, after twenty-six (+) years.

Laura · « **Reply #248 on:** December 10, 2009, 05:59:23 PM »

Wow. Prayers and vibes for you as you make your decision.

Can you retire after 26 years?

After my appointment and errands, I came home and changed into winter clothes--jeans, cotton turtleneck, wool sweater, and socks--then turned on the space heater in my room (borrowed from another roommate who is out of town). I'd consider longjohns, except mine are, of course, in storage, as I didn't expect to need them in LA.

My other roommate, the owner, not only does not want to turn the heat on very often, when she does the thermostat is at 58. She also opens many windows at 9 or 10 am. I like fresh air, but this is ridiculous!

where is the owner/roommate originally from that she likes the cold so much?

Proofed the new booklet and packaging and that's ready to go in for approval. And I've decided that when we announce that (probably Christmas week, just for fun, I'll also be offering a second release, a budget-priced CD for 12.98, limited to 1000 copies, and my way of saying thanks to everyone who's ordered CDs from us this year.

tcb, decision making vibes. i'm sorry you want to leave, it seems the job should be a rewarding one. is the thought of retiring now prompted by your sister's retirement?

Ginny · « **Reply #257 on:** December 10, 2009, 06:24:53 PM »

DR TCB - when Richard was retired and I wasn't, he kept telling me "you'll know" every time I agonized about whether or not to retire. I did, and you will, too. Vibes...

Tonight I watched HISTORY OF THE WORLD PART I. I hadn't seen it in some time, and I had forgotten how truly episodic it was, really without any pretense of telling a story. Just a series of blackout skits, musical numbers, and extended sketches with lots of suggestive humor. Funny but not much of a film.

Matt H. · « **Reply #265 on:** December 10, 2009, 07:15:17 PM »

Sorry to read that about Gene Barry. I have lots of wonderful memories of his Bat Masterson and Amon Burke.

Matt H. · « **Reply #266 on:** December 10, 2009, 07:16:27 PM »

I got through all of the bonus features for HISTORY OF THE WORLD, too. There really wasn't that much: a featurette on Mel's music writing, a making-of documentary, a trivia track, and the trailer, along with the isolated music track and Brooks trailer gallery.

Matt H. · « **Reply #267 on:** December 10, 2009, 07:17:41 PM »

I plucked skating videotapes out of the drawer and watched Sarah Hughes' gold medal performance in 2002 and Tara Lipinski's in 1998. Nice to see those again.

Matt H. · « **Reply #268 on:** December 10, 2009, 07:19:36 PM »

Then I watched tonight's episode of BONES. It was a lovely Christmas episode, very beautiful last few scenes. Emily's real-life sister Zooey was a guest star (not very effective, I must say) playing her cousin. But the rest of the episode was very entertaining and a surprise identity of the guilty party.

Matt H. · « **Reply #269 on:** December 10, 2009, 07:19:59 PM »

I also had my first egg nog of the season tonight.
