Well, you've read the notes, the notes were very whitty, and now it is time for you to post until Dame Cows come home.

Hey, Barnum,

I gave you a bit of incorrect information yesterday. The starting time for the Bollywood music program is 12 noon on Friday, not 11am. If you're not going to listen live it doesn't make any difference but if you want to listen live it's at noon.

Good morning, all! Last night was the first night in several that I had no allergy problems so I took no medication to help me sleep. I spent most of yesterday working about the apartment in a drowsy haze. Outside of the idiot above me carrying on several times between 12:30 and 2:30 am - no sex last night, just occasional clog dances and a few loud thumps as something heavy landed on the floor - I slept quite well.

Today, I have some WIZARD OF OZ edits and little else since I'm taking a couple of days off from the two Victor Herbert scores. Now that I'm off ONE LIFE TO LIVE, I may spend some of the afternoon on the last disc of Season Two of BONES.

TOD:

I think it would be easier for me to pick out the Pixar films I like the least, namely MONSTERS, INC and CARS--I don't respond to these two as much on an emotional level as I do all the others.

Favorite song would still be Randy Newman's "You Got a Friend in Me".

I am already liking TOY STORY 3, based on what I see in the trailer...

I have only seen a handful, or less, of Pixar movies but at this point I would pick FINDING NEMO as my favorite.

Ohmigod! I actually agree with DR MBarnum on something.

RE: the TOD

I can't say i've seen that many PIXAR films: i've seen Wall-E, Up, and Finding Nemo. I liked them all okay.

Yeah tonight we have a lot on tv to choose from. Even though THE GOOD WIFE is a repeat, we still have a new LOST and the premiere of GLEE at 9:28pm-10:30pm!

TOD: "Ratatouille" was my favorite of the Pixar movies. Also enjoyed the two "Toy Story" movies, so I'll be seeing the third. And I thought "Up" had some great moments. I don't remember many of the songs from the films, other than Randy Newman's fine work on the "Toy Story" movies. Of course, there were the Jerry Herman bits in "Wall-E," and it's always pleasant to hear his music.

Off to visit my folks next week. I'd better make sure I can bring my own, if theirs is on the fritz. One more thing to add to the packing list. I know they have no cable and no Internet access. They don't really even understand what the Internet is.

Good morning!

It got up to 80 here yesterday, and it's supposed to be close to that today. Should be a beautiful day. It was certainly a cool, crisp morning.

No walk this morning; I mowed my front yard. Not even halway through April, and I've already had to mow my grass twice! Argh!

I haven't seen ALL of the PIXAR films - but I do like Toy Story and Finding Nemo.....

Well, at least my parents do have internet access, and high-speed cable at that. -So, I can watch whatever shows I miss tonight tomorrow on my computer. It's not the end of the world. *And, if worse comes to worse, my DVR back in NYC is still running.

Former DR EVIL KURT is finding a nice place for a pre show dinner for Friday evening for the mini Midwest HHW meeting.

Sad to say, my DVR/cable box had bit the dust. I worked with the service rep on the phone this morning for fifteen or twenty minutes, and it was just no go. I wonder what the odds are that my cable box would go out of commission the very DAY a new channel configuration would go into effect?

At any rate, after talking with the rep, I got cleaned up and drove to one of the cable company offices to switch out my old box for a new one. I could have scheduled for a technician to come do it, but I didn't even ask how many days that would be. I knew I had to have working cable for LOST, GLEE, IDOL (with Adam Lambert) tonight.

Matt H. · « **Reply #20 on:** April 13, 2010, 07:12:22 AM »

But I lost the two hour BROTHERS & SISTERS which I'll have to find on the net, I suppose (ABC doesn't have On Demand on my cable system).

And I lost last year's Tony Awards which were still on the DVR because I hadn't taken the time to put it on a DVD-R and edited the commercials. Maybe one of you nice folks out there who records and keeps the Tonys can offer a replacement?

I lost GRAN TORINO, too, but it'll be on again. No big deal there.

Matt H. · « **Reply #21 on:** April 13, 2010, 07:14:17 AM »

I really am excited about the return of GLEE tonight. I understand from reading some reviews that some of the outrageously awful plotlines from the first 2/3 of the season are now resolved and the show is heading off in more sensible directions. I can't wait to see that!

I will watch GLEE tonight even though it'll be 11 p.,m. before it's concluded. I can't wait for tomorrow to watch it.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #22 on:** April 13, 2010, 07:14:51 AM »

As for the Topic of the Day...

"Finding Nemo"
"Toy Story"
"Wall-E"
"Up"

And even though it's not the greatest movie, I did have a wonderful time watching "Monsters, Inc.". I was doing a show at the time, and practically the whole cast and crew rushed out after the show to catch the last showing on the first day it was in the theatres. Fun, Fun, Fun!

Matt H. · « **Reply #23 on:** April 13, 2010, 07:15:46 AM »

My work project today will be THE FUGITIVE KIND, the Sidney Lumet adaptation of Tennessee Williams' ORPHEUS DESCENDING. I've never seen the entire film, so I'm really looking forward to it. It's only on DVD, though. Criterion, for some reason, didn't deem this movie worthy of a Blu-ray release. (But VIVRE SA VIE and SUMMER HOURS were worthy? Strange decisions.)

My five favorite Pixar films:

THE INCREDIBLES
TOY STORY 2
UP
WALL-E
FINDING NEMO

Matt H. · « **Reply #26 on:** April 13, 2010, 07:17:41 AM »

I do think "When She Loved Me" in TOY STORY 2 is my favorite Randy Newman song from the films.

Matt H. · « **Reply #27 on:** April 13, 2010, 07:19:30 AM »

Ithink all of the Pixar films are unique and fun; I've had to review many of them, so I've seen them all, some quite a few times. MONSTERS, INC. is my least favorite, but it's still so MUCH better than most of the animated features out there that it seems unfair to classify it any other way except as a good movie and not a great one.

I don't Pixar has really had a failure yet.

Matt H. · « **Reply #28 on:** April 13, 2010, 07:21:04 AM »

With my DVR shot last night, I had to rely on the DVD recorder with a hard disc drive and connection to analog cable to record last night's CASTLE and DAMAGES. I should be able to pick up DAMAGES on HD On Demand, so I can likely delete that analog version without watching it, but I didn't want to take any chances on missing it. The show is nearing the end of its season, and has been sensational.

Matt H. · « **Reply #29 on:** April 13, 2010, 07:31:17 AM »

OK, the new cable box should be fully operational now, so I'm going to head down to fiddle with settings, etc. for a while. Then I'll start on lunch preparation.
