Hello, everyone.

I have been sick for the past week and am still not quite over it. Dear Doggie has been sick, too; I had to take him to the vet in my rather wobbly state.

However, I have been enjoying the PEACE and QUIET immensely! And control of the thermostat, although I haven't quite figured it out yet. (It's not one of the simple variety. NOTHING in this house is simple.)

The SITHENCE is wonderful.

The "luxe" movie theatre turns me off, too.

Here's a photo of last night's performance of the "Appalachian Carols" at Town Hall. The "Love Lives On" quilt in the back is the Chorus' AIDS quilt with 148 stars on it representing deceased chorus members.

Lovely photo. I'm sure the concert was just as lovely.

The answer to the question "Does anyone still wear a hat?"

Love the folksy feel of that ad - makes you come across as very easy to talk to, which I expect means a lot to clients.

Yes, friendly and approachable!

Ginny, if it's any consolation, it's quite grey and cloudy here. Rather bleek, actually.

And I have work to do, despite the addled state of my brain today.

TTFN.

It is indeed gray out, hence I am not going to jog.

Printed out orders - very interesting on these two titles. Lots of people are only ordering one or the other, so I'm really glad I did them together. Then some people are ordering both and some others are ordering multiples of both. I won't say it's our fastest sellers but they're moving pretty well, especially considering we've only been live since six this morning.

I've already done several errands and whatnot - including picking up the Empire of the Ants booklets for the composer to sign.

I'm up (but about to go back to bed) and the new Kritzerland titles have been announced.

BK, in the pictures of the LP Jacket Storybook for "Rhapsody of Steel," one of the pictures is shown twice. Just thought that you'd want to know.

Before I left for lunch, I watched another episode of THE MENTALIST. This was the one in which a very average looking man was a lady killer that all the guys were envious of. When Patrick fixes up Cho to become a lady killer, well, WOW! He is one HOT man!

Hey! I don't know if this has been mentioned, since I can't read the posts at work. However, I jumped in my car this morning to go to work, and Brent Barrett magically appeared on my radio. At first I thought I was listening to CHIRSTMAS MORNINGS, but actually it was Sirius Radio's On Broadway playing CHIRSTMAS TIME. After the song ended they announced that they would be airing an interview and music with Brent at 9:00 p.m. EST on Christmas Eve; and that the show would air again on Christmas Day at (I believe) 6:00 p.m.

Cool! I don't suppose that anyone could record this for those of us who don't have Sirius Radio??

When I got in from lunch, I watched (500) DAYS OF SUMMER. Almost completely captivating bittersweet romantic comedy. Lots of originality and with actors who seem closer to real people than one usually gets in movie romantic comedies.

I heartily recommend it. Definitely one of the best films I've seen this year. If it weren't for the a bit of a too slick ending, I would have totally flipped for it. I guess it was the film's concession toward being a crowd pleaser, but I was totally pleased without it.

Matt H. · « **Reply #137 on:** December 21, 2009, 01:09:49 PM »

I began looking at the bonus features. I sampled the commentary (OK but a bit drab), the deleted scenes (9 of them), the making of documentary, and the director's impressions of the film's Sundance reception (which was ecstatic).

My trip to the post office was successful - mailed a few packages and got the distinct impression that they will, indeed, be delivered in time for Christmas. Then I went to Kroger, where I only managed to forget 2 of the things that were written on my list. Oh, well, nothing we can't live without.

Rob calls this my "holiday head."

Haven't gotten to read posts but we did work our way to the end of the film. I'm exporting a QT to see if we still like it and then catching a cab for my long flight home. I have a layover in Charlotte so I will wave at Matt H's house!

Thanks again to DR Jose for his kindness. I tried to track down Larry after FINIAN'S RAINBOW last night hoping to meet Niece Charlotte but didn't get there in time.

Hope to see folks when we get back on NYE for a few days of being tourists before our big meeting with the producer!

DR FJL - I love the phrase....washing and irony.

All of the children away from school and shopping and Dollar Tree and Wal Mart gave me "holiday head" DR GINNY.

I tried to say that many different ways, but it always comes out slightly blue.

My nephew and his wife and two children were returning from Africa and were stranded at a New York airport Sunday as well. I think they are on their way home now.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm......I got the SOUTH PACIFIC Blu Ray today - I may watch it this evening.

DR Edi - vibes for a smooth trip home without any delays. I am jealous that you will be in NYC for NYE - Richard and I were there from Christmas Day evening to New Year's Day 27 years ago. We didn't go to the heart of Times Square for the revelry, but could see the ball drop from in front of our hotel at 7th Ave. and 53rd. And there were just enough partiers in the street to make it festive. Be sure to look north, toward Central Park, to see if they still do fireworks at midnight - that surprised us!

Wouldn't you know I'm back to working today, or I'd try to hop out to the airport to say hey! (I live on the same side of town as the airport.) A shame.

I'm going to hop off-line now and do some writing. Then, I must bound back downstairs and continue watching the bonus features on the disc. I should be finished in time to watch THE CLOSER tonight before I come upstairs to finish writing up today's work project.

Oy! My afternoon has been tied up with a draft of a report on the past six months to the Institute. I think it's pretty good now. DR Matt H, here's a photo for you:
