I drank a bottle of mineral water today. I poured it into a plastic drinking vessel. It was good.

I then ironed two shirts and two pairs of trousers. I used steam to facilitate the ironing. I watched "2010" while I ironed. It holds up well.

And now.. "Eye of the Beholder"!

One of the greatest of the series' five years on the air.

Oh, I just had a slight belch. Tasted a bit like lunch which was more than 7 hours ago.

FJL, I didn't mind the links. I just looked at a little of The Apartment - not very HD looking, which means it's probably just an upconverted transfer - Irma La Douce looked the same way - however, The Fortune Cookie did look like HD.

What I really hate (yes, HATE) is when movies are shown on HD channels that are full-frame but stretched to fill the screen! How rude is that!

It just goes to show that even though HD has been around for almost a decade, some channels still have not figured it all out yet. It's maddening.

QVC is on the telly right now.

I turn it on QVC when I want to do something "other than" watch TV.

Next I watched that FAMILY GUY special Blu-ray release: it's a parody of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. Like all Seth MacFarlane stuff, some of it was hilarious, some of it was lame, some of it was tasteless, and some of it laid an egg.

But overall, it was pretty good. I got the disc to review, but as it's TV related, the Fox TV reviewer at the site had first dibs and claimed it. He declined GLEE which is why I am getting to do it.

Next I put in THE BAND WAGON. You know, some of the Warners Ultra-Resolution remasters of classcs are just splendid (MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS, EASTER PARADE to name two), but this one isn't quite in their same league sharpness and color-wise. Seemed a bit grainier than I remembered it, too.

I didn't quite get to the end. "Triplets" is the next number in the line-up, but I haven't gotten to it yet.

PennyO - do a little experiment right now - respond to this post by hitting the word "quote" up there in the right-hand corner. You will then get a response window to type your response to my post. You will see my post. If you have to, scroll down until you see the final use of the word quote (in brackets) or end quote or whatever it says in the brackets of the very end of the post that's being quoted. Type your response AFTER the bracket that says end quote or quote - NOT before it - AFTER it. See if that works.

It was sunny and 68 with nice clear skies so we could see all the mountains that circle Phoenix. We went for a short hike.

Wanna swap weather??? I will take 68 over -25 any day...

I'm going to close up shop here and head downstairs to bed.

Tomorrow I get to start on the GLEE box set. Sometimes there are compensations for suffering through the likes of WRONG TURN, THE MARINE 2, and other such stuff.

Good night!

Finishing up Anatomy Of A Murder. Eight pages of book today, which was fun. I'm struggling a little with the Prologue - not sure how detailed I want to be about certain events, although they're all part and parcel of what leads to the book proper.

DR Dakota, can you tell the difference between -25 and -40? That's actually a serious question. Once it gets that cold, I'm not sure I can tell the difference

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #352 on:** January 01, 2010, 07:57:16 PM »

Jrand are you familiar with Numerology? I have played around with it and it is interesting. I am fascinated wtih Astrology

OH YES!!!

With no wind, -20 is frigid and bone chilling and your car will start if you have heet and stuff in the tank

.... -40 is dangerous and you get cold faster...Buildings dry out faster and cars tend not to stop. Also you see a LOT more exhaust hanging close to the ground..

What is neat is taking a cup of boiling water outside and throwing it up ni the air and it comes down in flakes...

I have seen people hammer with frozen bananas...

Congrats to bk on his new lofty plateau... What a way to start the New Year

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #356 on:** January 01, 2010, 08:05:20 PM »

the actual air temp of -40 usually means that cars will be very challenged for starting

Cillaliz · « **Reply #357 on:** January 01, 2010, 08:06:04 PM »

I've done the boiling water thing. That is really cool. We're going to -20 tonight but it will also be windy. I won't be going outside

Cillaliz · « **Reply #358 on:** January 01, 2010, 08:06:45 PM »

I"m glad I have a garage. It helps with the car starting issues
