I am home from a nice visit withPaul Byrom, Niall, and his uncle who's here for a dentistry/medical convention at the Javitz Center.

Since returning, I have put 5 large containers of soup into the freezer and cleaned the stove and all pots and pans. I will now run to the market and, when I return, vacuum the apartment.

Help me understand something:

A couple of years back, when Peter Jackson was not only producing "The Hobbit" but was taking over the reins as director, the plan was for two films to be made from the one book.

Now I'm given to understand there are THREE films from this one book? THREE? Seriously?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #64 on:** November 28, 2012, 01:05:04 PM »

I always vacuum before I go out. That way, all the dust settles by the time I get back in!

Well, it seems I get to go to the employee appreciation party tonight for the company I'm leaving Friday and the Christmas party for the new company next Saturday.

I've been wondering about that, too, but haven't bothered to investigate. It sounds absurd.

Why can't I upload a 72K pix?

Ben · « **Reply #71 on:** November 28, 2012, 02:32:29 PM »

Most likely because the uploader is full. You can't upload pictures directly to the site anymore. You have to use Photobucket or some other host site. If the uploader gets emptied you will be able to post a picture but until then it won't work.

Because I've been up since before 6:30am, I just took a 2-hour nap in my chair. At least I'm not walking into door frames anymore!

Tonight I take the last Doxycycline, thank the Ye Gods. Has it really been 30 days? Seems like 30 weeks. Tomorrow, dairy products. Just because I can.

You can also submit Outside The Box for an Emmy. I believe there is a category for it now.

The category is

Outstanding Special Class - Short-format Live-Action Entertainment Programs

Hello, everyone.

Back from a fun lunch with BK. Listening now to THIS CHRISTMAS. Really enjoyed BE A SANTA. Very nice album. A couple great pics of you, Bruce. And my neighbor was very pleased to get the autograph. Thanks, BK.

More later. Want to listen to the CD.

Has everybody bought their PowerBall tickets?

ChasSmith, Amazon Prime is incredible and more than pays for itself if you order from them a lot. It's free two-day shipping on anything, and you usually get pre-orders on release day no matter what. And add to that that you can watch any movie on their site for free - just well worth it.

I think I'll buy one or two. A Half billion is not too bad

What a day! As mentioned in the notes, I've been having a devil of a time falling asleep before three, and that was certainly the case last night, once again. Once asleep, however I slept until the phone rang - and that was 11:50. I couldn't believe it. I had to to meet dear reader Jeanne at 12:30. I was out of the house in eight minutes flat, but then had to fill the motor car up with gas. Timing was on my side going to Beverly Glen - got there very fast, but was behind slow drivers until the road splits into two lanes. Then I zoomed past Mulholland and was zooming along when an Acura turned right and got in front of me - that they had to do very quickly. After that, however, they were going about fifteen miles an hour all the way down, past Sunset towards Wilshire at which point I finally got around the fool. Then I zoomed all the way down to Olympic, turned right, turned left, zoomed down to Pico and got to the restaurant to find no street parking in front, so I had to park a block away. With ALL of that, I was only five minutes late - pretty good!

Sorry, I thought it could make an interesting fictional biography.

Lunch was quite lovely and Jeanne is a wonderful conversationalist. I was still a bit groggy until I got some Diet Coke in me. I had a Panini sandwich consisting of salami, pepperoni and provolone. It was small but very good - if one gets that kind of sandwich at the Subway (spicy Eyetalian) in the footlong size it's over 900 calories, but that's with eight pieces of salami and eight pieces of pepperoni. Here there were only two slices of each and the sandwich was like having a six-inch size, so I have to assume the sandwich itself was under 500 calories - with it I had a tiny side salad - all very good.

That reminds me, I still need to read CATCH ME. It still isn't available at my library as an eBook, guess I'll buy it.

Can you request/suggest ebooks? I'd think it would work the same way as regular books. And do they have the other books as ebooks?

Also, is it really that bad on your shoulder that you can't read any hardcovers? Even if you lean them against something? I know I usually use my bagabook. BUt even without it, I don't find I have to hold the hardcovers much.

Unfortunately yes. It would be ok if I didn't do most of my reading in bed with the light out. I even rest the Nook on top of me while I read or roll on my side with it on the bed.

It is my understanding that it is the publisher's who have decided not to sell certain eBooks to the libraries. I could ask about this. Our library eBooks are a statewide library service vs through our individual ones so I'm not sure how I could request a book.

Then I zoomed home, stopped at the mail place and picked up one lonely package, which contained the new Blu and Rays of Gypsy and Deathtrap, so I've got my viewing for the evening.
