Vibes for a Finian move, for sure.
And warm vibes for all dealing with the cold. I may have to start wearing yet another layer of clothing in the house to stay warm. And I already have on three or four. The fire in the fireplace this afternoon went out too quickly. And I could only eat so much of the winter vegetable soup I made. Now "Another Winter in a Summer Town" is playing on the stereo, and it's just, well, cold. So, stay warm, all.

When it's really cold, a fireplace will suck the hear right out of the house.  You have to be careful about that.  I really need new windows.  Hopefully I can get them next summer

I'm actually supposed to get my fireplace cleaned tomorrow morning (the HOA wants everyone to get theirs cleaned at least every two years), sometime between 9 am and noon.  I've only used it twice in three years, but there could be animals or bugs in the chimney. :P

oh, I guess Agnos was Sheriff for part of the time.   Interesting, from Godbehere to Agnos(tic)

Though I have no discs pressing to get done, I know I'm going to be getting that SIMPSONS Blu-ray set next week (and FAME is coming out which I may or may not get to do), so I think tomorrow I'll start on CHANTAL AKERMAN IN THE SEVENTIES, five films of the French director in the latest Criterion Eclipse line. That's going to take me a good two days to finish and probably three days.

Signing off to watch the second half of the BCS championship game.  I'm not sure I'll make it to the end, but we're snowed in, so why not stay up late?

'night!

Looks like I'm going to head downstairs now, do one last push on the treadmill, and then go to bed.

Good night!

Cooked dinner for the DP and I this eve.  Shake and Bake pork chops (which I had never done Shake and Bake before), Rice-a-Roni (using Olive Oil instead of butter) and steamed string beans in a bag.  Very good dinner.

it was, scary & wonderful.  i was frightened of being knocked down by a dog before the accident, you can imagine how i feel now.  i can trust keith to watch out for me.  it will be better once i finally have use of my right arm, though i have no idea when that will be.

I'm glad it went okay.

Do all the dogs walk without leashes when people hike?

I guess it's sort of remote. but I know i hate it when people have their dogs loose on the bike path (it's a walking path too).

First time I've checked back here in a couple of days. Thanks for the warm welcomes, all. I'm just now starting to play catch up as college makes me very busy.

That last sentence didn't sound right, but I know I can't write as eloquently as BK. :P

Welcome to newest DR Basil!!

Do you like ice cream?

I'm not sure if that's supposed to be rhetorical, but yes, I do enjoy my ice cream. Especially with butterscotch sauce.

Hello, Basil.  Glad you're among us.   What's your handle at FSM?  Are you "Basil" there, too?

Yes, I go by the handle "Basil" there as well. I was previously "Blue_Kirby2". Great to see you here.

WELCOME BASIL!!!

It is a pleasure to meet you.

Be sure to stop in on your birthday.

Hm? Did you find out my birthdate from somewhere, or something? ;D

...Now that I'm thinking about it, I forgot I had mentioned my birthdate already on my very first post. Silly me.

Listening to our new master, which sounds amazing - this had a previous CD release, but this sounds 1000 times better, plus we've got about ten minutes of bonus material.

Sounds fantastic. Can't wait for the first Kritzerland release of the big 1-0!

Back from lunch and shall now write.  A package that was supposed to be here today won't be here until tomorrow because UPS screwed up (what else is new).  Also, I've now heard the film tracks in question, and right now I'm of the opinion they're just not in good enough quality to make a two CD set that costs 29.98.  We're going to try one other thing and see if I'm happy, otherwise, it will be the LP presentation in great sound and four or five bonus tracks from the film itself.

Aw man, and here I was anticipating a fantastic 2 CD set. I guess it shall be a fantastic 1 CD set instead. :)

I've been tired all week and nearly falling asleep in class (which is bad). I need to get some more sleep.

And I got a CD in the mail today - Wind / A Whale for the Killing by Basil Poledouris. It was supposed to be here before Christmas as it was a gift from a person I know on FSM, but naturally the post offices were flooded with mail.

However, there's a glitch between tracks 4 and 5 (a two-second gap of silence mistakenly inserted between two tracks that are supposed to join together seamlessly), and now the CD is being repressed by the manufacturer. Thus I have to get a replacement copy.
