I can't tell you all how good it feels to have all this yard work done already. I usually put it off until about May and by that time it's so overgrown I can't really clean things out. Now, I'm all set to clear out the flower beds along by rock wall and plant flowers and plants. The back yard is about to become a really great place to be

I've never heard of Green & Black's. What are they (he asked without bothering to look it up himself on the inner-web )?

DR George - Green & Black's

Thanks, Jose! They look really good! And according to their website, the local Fred Meyer has them. I guess I'll check it out.

You're welcome, George. Green & Black's is definitely "premium" chocolate. It's meant for nibbling, rather than snacking and devouring.

Finally back. Rehearsal was as nutty as I knew it would be. Nothing but HUGE scenes and musical numbers today. We finished all but three of them, and added one hour to the schedule for tomorrow - IF I can get them done in an hour, as the three that are left are also HUGE. But I was very pleased with the minimal little staging things I did on the two biggest numbers - just some moving around, formation changes, and buttons.

RE: last night's UGLY BETTY

Quote from: Matt H. on April 01, 2010, 01:18:53 PM
Before I left for lunch, I had time to watch UGLY BETTY. As the show winds down, the writers are slowly changing the character of Betty. When the show started, she was really interested in fashion and wanted to be a part of that scene. Now, however, she's not into such surface pursuits as fashion and looks. She's more about important environmental issues. Kind of left me a little cold with her rising nicely at MODE only for us to find out that's not what she wants at all. Confusing to say the least.

Justin's story was sweet, and it was nice to see characters back who were regulars in years past. Don't like the storyline with WIllie really doing terrible physical and psychological damage to an alcoholic who needs help just to satisfy her sick dreams of power. They had been tempering her character over the last year or so, but now she's worse than ever.

Again, I don't get it, but with the show only on a couple of more weeks, I guess at this point it doesn't matter.

It's funny that you sound like you didn't like last night's show. I thought it was one of the best this season. I absolutely loved watching them in london. And it was so great to see christina and geo (sp?).

You read correctly. I didn't like it much.

I spent a fair amount of my time this evening leading up to prime time TV watching the remaining special features on the ALVIN Blu-ray. A couple of the features were tongue-in-cheek featurettes where the human actors are pretending the chipmunks were there and they're giving interviews about their egos, etc. I found those tiresome. The features geared to show a little of the work behind the magic were interesting but might have been shown in greater detail.

Since the disc was past street date, the BD-Live stuff was active, but it was only a trailer and a couple of deleted scenes. Of course, there were also contents there for a host of current or upcoming film and Blu-ray releases, too. THE SOUND OF MUSIC is one of those.

I skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Reid was on (no Luke), but his scenes were about his impending suit for malpractice. He was also in the previews for tomorrow but once again, there didn't appear to be any Luke in any of those scenes.

Matt H. · « **Reply #188 on:** April 01, 2010, 08:00:45 PM »

Oliver had some nice scenes in today's ONE LIFE TO LIVE which I also skimmed. Too bad Kyle couldn't have been there with him with him holding the baby for the first time as her "official" father. (He did hold her earlier during the failed rescue attempt of her mother.)

Matt H. · « **Reply #189 on:** April 01, 2010, 08:03:01 PM »

Then I watched tonight's BONES episode. A pretty interesting case and some further developments with some of the characters.

Of course, I did hate Dr. Sweets' proposal to the irritating Daisy. Not that I don't wish him every happiness, but this means she's going to stick around as a character since she'll be tied to him, and she is BY FAR my least favorite intern that is used on the show.

Matt H. · « **Reply #190 on:** April 01, 2010, 08:05:16 PM »

GREY'S ANATOMY came next. Again, involving cases and (for me) disposable personal stuff with doctors who're so eager to have children (or not). I did enjoy seeing Alex's brother, and it's too bad he's not sticking around. It would give Lexie or one of the other unattached females someone to hop into bed with since the pool of male candidates available for them seems to be shrinking.

I wasn't too keen on the whole AA ruse the writers came up for Wilhelmina either -Yes, she's supposed to be ruthless, but the writers could have chosen a less "personal" way. It actually made me uncomfortable.

Looks like I'll be taking Friday and Saturday off if nothing comes in the mail tomorrow that requires immediate attention. If that's the case, I'll watch RIDE WITH THE DEVIL on Sunday (I've never seen it). This is the (very long) director's cut which runs almost 2 1/2 hours.

Matt H. · « **Reply #193 on:** April 01, 2010, 08:23:30 PM »

Now I guess I'll close up shop in the office and head downstairs to bed.

Good night!

For those DRs who are fans of "The Amazing Race", you may want to check out their Online Trivia Contest:

It's kind of fun, and you could win $7,000.

Listening to the new Kritzerland master - it sounds really good now, although there's still a little editing work to be done.

I hear your sister graduated from Home Depot's Advanced Home Repairs Course and has received her IKEA Master Assemblers Certificate - all to honor the day.

Sometimes they get put with the "baking chocolate". Does Fred Meyer have a "gourmet" aisle? They could be there. Or maybe they're just not available at your Fred Meyer.

And... You're Welcome!

I didn't think about the gourmet aisle...or the baking section. I'll try that later.
