I am still shopping for furniture and housewares. There were two boxes in the kitchen of housewares that I had somehow overlooked. They proved to contain lots of glasses. A LOT of planning went into this move, but I find myself puzzled at times over what I shipped out. More than once I've said, "Why'd I bring all this crap?" I'm sure I had my reasons.

What part of town are you settling in, Jeanne?

I remember Grants, McCrory's, Woolworths...

JMK's Montgomery Wards catalog made me think of my favorite lamps (which I stillhave thirty years later) which were from the Speigel Catalog...is that still around?

I started walkin' the 'hood the other day. It always amazes me how much more one discovers on foot than in a car. I learned that there's an Indian eatery, two Mexican jernts, two Chinese restaurants, and one pastry shop within walking distance. I thought of JOSE immediately, of course, when I spotted the pastry shop. And, depending on what you call walkable, DF&H's favorite Mexican restaurant, too.

Hi, Amy. I'm in West LA now and glad to be back here. It's very central for me.

That is sad about Zelda Rubenstein. I enjoyed her in the first two POLTERGEIST films.

I am glad that i decided to watch all of the 2 hour finale of LOST.

I realized that there was so much i did not remember since it was 8 months ago. Also I was so glad that they included those little green blurbs at the bottom of the screen. I find those extremely interesting and informative.

Ditto and DITTO!!

There is also going to be a one hour clip show next Tuesday leading into the two hour season premiere. I won't be watching that clip show either. After reviewing all five seasons on Blu-ray during the past two years (plus watching all five seasons of the show during first run and quite a few repeats), I think I'm well versed on everything they've shown us thus far.

Matt H. · « **Reply #199 on:** January 27, 2010, 07:17:50 PM »

With concentrated viewing, I managed to get through episode 19 tonight. That leaves three remaining episodes to watch tomorrow which should make for an easy day.

Matt H. · « **Reply #200 on:** January 27, 2010, 07:19:08 PM »

A lot of the episodes during the final season (2004-2005) have taken place in Iraq or Afghanistan when the war was at its height, so I'm not surprised they've drawn a lot of story material from the situations there.

Matt H. · « **Reply #201 on:** January 27, 2010, 07:21:44 PM »

I noticed that there was one bonus feature on the last disc, so I skipped ahead to it and watched the featurette called "The Final Goodbye." I was hoping to a tribute to the series, to the many fine actors who played regulars and guest stars on the show.

Instead it was 2 1/4 minutes of David James Elliott saying thanks to the cast and crew at the wrap party. One of the producers also trying saying thanks and got all choked up. But it was a bare minimum little vignette for the show, and I was disappointed.

Matt H. · « **Reply #202 on:** January 27, 2010, 07:23:03 PM »

I then skimmed through today's ONE LIFE TO LIVE. Yep, the boys were on and wonderful as always, together and apart.

The baby is going to change SO many things.

Matt H. · « **Reply #203 on:** January 27, 2010, 07:23:32 PM »

I skimmed through AS THE WORLD TURNS, but there was nothing of interest there and nothing in the previews for tomorrow.

When do you head West again, DR edisaurus?

Matt H. · « **Reply #205 on:** January 27, 2010, 07:24:50 PM »

And no late UPS delivery either, so I made up my mind with only three episodes left that I will finish JAG tomorrow even if WHIP IT arrives (as I fully expect it to do). One day later to get reviewed will just have to do.

DR Jeanne - Well, you could have also thought of me when you came across the Indian, Mexican and Chinese restaurants.

I saw that it going to dipping down into very cold weather again this weekend and that there is even a chance we may have snow on Saturday.

Oh I have a dream for JRand's interpretation -

I was at an auction - the autioneer was selling an old clock and the bidding between Dame Julie Andrews and HRH Queen Elizabeth II was fierce.

When Julie shouted out 10,000.00 she gave the autioneer a sly look and he very quickly shouted," Going , going, gone - SOLD!!"

I could see from where I sat that the autioneer had aready completed the billof sale with the purtchase price and Dame Jiulie's name as the purchaser before the bidding was over

Liz was NOT amused - she got up and stormed out, along with her large entourage. I asked Julie, "Aren't you afriad of offending the Queen? It seems she was quite upset."

"Oh HER!", said Julie dismissively , "She wants every clock in the kingdom - she has a million of them and this particular clock will mean a great deal to a special friend of mine; it belonged to his great grandfather."

and then I woke up

I enjoyed Emma on Masterpiece Theatre (I don't care what they call it - it will always be Masterpiece Theatre in this house)

I am not too happy with the way Big Love is going however - the second wife is definitely getting on my nerves
