Well, you've read the notes, the notes were very 2010, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they assure me they will be home in 2010.

And the word of the day is: BEATIFIC!

I'm feeling very 2010. I had a sip of champagne. I hear fireworks in the distance.

bk · « **Reply #3 on:** January 01, 2010, 12:06:20 AM »

I hear voices on the street.

There were a few fireworks that I could hear going off from my back window, but not many...and now it all seems to be over.

People are just getting "old."

Well, I am not getting old. I am not a WUSSBURGER.

I just went to write the title page of my new book and I was determined to write the first couple of sentences - then suddenly I was on page four. So, I'm off and running and should be able to finish the introduction tomorrow, and then move right into the prologue.

A great way to start a new year!

Had a nice text message from the darling daughter.

George · « **Reply #14 on:** January 01, 2010, 12:51:26 AM »

I've never sent a text to anyone. Other than automated texts from my cell phone carrier, I've only received two texts...and they both were from a friend of mine. It's just something that I've never gotten into.

George · « **Reply #15 on:** January 01, 2010, 01:01:27 AM »

And now, I must be going to sleep. I can barely keep my eyes open, and that's not a good thing. So, good night, BK and guests!

But before I go...

Well, DR Edisaurus, you couldn't have gotten a better year, weather-wise, to do the New Year's Eve In Times Square thing!!

DAW · « **Reply #17 on:** January 01, 2010, 01:47:29 AM »

Thank you for the astrological predictions, DR JRand59!!!

Friday morning greetings and Happy New Year! I made it to midnight EST last night, but just barely. The rest of my family is still sleeping, but I've been up long enough to get a hash brown potato crust baked. Later, we'll fill it with ham, cheese, and eggs, bake it some more, and have a nice New Year's breakfast.

!!!!!!!!!! Happy New Year, Everyone !!!!!!!!!!
Good morning, all! The neighbor and his company arrived home shortly before midnight, dropping things, sliding furniture across the floor, and talking rather loudly. Then, to this cacophony, there arrived about 15-20 minutes of the Central Park fireworks,none of which amused me since I had been trying to sleep .

So, at 6:30 I awoke and decided to go back to bed for another hour. I am now up and moving slowly around the apartment. I have a holiday gift to wrap and around noon I will head down to Ben and Anthony's. I don't believe I have any other plans today, and that's fine with me. At some point over the weekend Joshie and I have to do some arranging for a singer/songwriter's act.

BK, I hope things progress smoothly with the Hofstetter producer; it would be nice to get a series based on the books and for you to derive a nice little income from it.

TOD:
DVD: the netflix items still sit here. Oy!
CD: Caroline O'Connor, Guy Haines, Liz Callaway, Jacques Offenbach, Carmen
VCR: pure unadulterated smut

Yes, indeedy, DR JRand1959! Thank you so much. Since I'm born near the cusp of Libra, I always check that out as well as Virgo, and I'm much more a Libra, I fear.

Friday media report:

Well, it's a TV day here. In a couple of hours we'll watch the Rose Parade on HGTV. Shortly after that's over, we'll begin an overlapping line-up of Brian Boitano's Skating Spectacular, the Rose Bowl (Go b-b-b-b-Bucks - that's not easy for me to say), and the Sugar Bowl (Go Bearcats!).

Maybe tomorrow I'll get around to watching the DVD I got for Christmas - Every Little Step - or listening to the 4 new CDs:

Michael Feinstein & Cheyenne Jackson - The Power of Two
White Christmas cast recording
Bryn Terfel - Scarborough Fair: Songs from the British Isles
Joshua Bell - At Home with Friends

DR Elmore - please give New Year hugs from me to DRs Ben and Edi and to Anthony and Greg!

Good Morning and Happy New Year!

It's another gray day here, cold, too, but supposedly the clouds are going to go away by the late afternoon. We'll see.

Matt H. · « **Reply #24 on:** January 01, 2010, 06:05:45 AM »

I got no USPS mail yesterday (not a great way to end 2009), and, of course, we have no mail delivery today. Rats!

Matt H. · « **Reply #25 on:** January 01, 2010, 06:09:01 AM »

With my day so undecided at this point, it's hard for me to summon up any enthusiasm for watching anything. I have THE MARINE 2 on Blu-ray as a work project, and since it's not especially long (a little over 90 minutes), I should be able to finish the movie before I head out to pick up my friend at the airport (that is, if he takes his scheduled flight and doesn't opt for being bumped off it.)

I am a very regimented person in my habits and in my schedule, and although days like this don't happen often, I find them SO irritating when they do. Oh, well, might as well accept the inevitable.

Matt H. · « **Reply #26 on:** January 01, 2010, 06:11:14 AM »

Friday Media Check:

CD - SCROOGE soundtrack

DVD - THE MARINE 2 (Blu-ray)
GLEE - Season 1, Volume 1: The Road to Sectionals
VAN HELSING (Blu-ray)

DVR - last night's THE MENTALIST rerun (I hope it recorded at 3 a.m.)
last night's SUPERNATURAL rerun (one of the funniest shows of the season)

Right before I dropped off to sleep last night, I heard far in the distance some firecrackers (It was about 11:25 p.m.) If there were any other fireworks around midnight, I slept right through them.

Matt H. · « **Reply #28 on:** January 01, 2010, 06:35:22 AM »

I just realized that one thing I didn't get for Christmas this year was a page-a-day calendar for my desk. So, I just took advantage of an Amazon gift certificate and bought a JEOPARDY one for this year. (The last three years have been PEANUTS, THE WIZARD OF OZ, and I LOVE LUCY. I didn't see any of those for reduced sale at Amazon.)

Matt H. · « **Reply #29 on:** January 01, 2010, 06:36:16 AM »

Now I'm going to head downstairs and get ready to face the day ahead with whatever surprises it holds. I am planning of going to my usual ATM/grocery store stops today. Thankfully, the store is open.
