Evening, folks. Getting ready to pack it in for the night. Time for a good solid sleep.

Are pork and sauerkraut a common US New Year's meal? I have never had this combination. And have seen people mention it here and on facebook.

The only place I've seen sauerkraut is at Costco where they serve it as a topping for their hotdogs (i like it there).

Cabbage is a tradition. And what better way to showcase cabbage than pork?

Well, the House appears to have passed the Senate's fiscal plan. I'm not greatly surprised. Why does this whole thing feel scripted?

Good night, all.

It just took me ten minutes to find this Jew thing. Unbelievable. You can't search any permutation of the title - I finally figured out you have to search Great Performances - how STUPID.

I had seen promos for the Jews on Broadway program, but didn't realize it was on tonight. Thanks for the heads up, DR Dan (the Man).

I saw Les Miserables today. I enjoyed it overall, but was disappointed in the singing of many of the actors. While I enjoyed Hugh Jackman in The Boy from Oz and his "one-man show," I really didn't care for his vocals. I was embarrassed for him during "Bring Him Home."

That's strange. I listened to the soundtrack recording of Hugh Jackman singing "Bring Him Home" and I was very impressed with his version. It is still kind of weird to hear the actors singing live, but I really was impressed with Mr. Jackman. I may not feel the same after I have seen the movie.

I had never heard of pork and suaerkraut on New Year Day until I came to HHW. So if it is an American custom, it isn't known everywhere in the U.S. I like sauerkraut, so I would love to try it. I don't think I will wait until next New Year to try it.

My sister and I were going to go the movies today (she wants to see "Monsters, Inc." in 3-D), but she decided that she didn't want to leave her house. So, I'm going to go and see if tickets are available for "The Hobbit." I haven't read any of yesterday's posts after my last one, so I've got more than 20 pages to ketchup with when I get back.

I got to the theater at about 5:00 pm, anticipating a huge crowd, but no one else showed up until about 5:35. By the time the theater was cleaned from the previous showing and they opened it, there were probably eight people in line. By the time the commercials/previews started, there were a couple dozen people. More people showed up by the time the actual movie started, though, so it was a good night to see it. I got a great seat and it wasn't crowded around me.

Watched the Jew show and now must hurry and write notes.

As for the movie itself, I didn't mind the length or the extra characters (mostly because I don't remember the original book) but the look of the 48 frames-per-second 3-D is very different than regular 3-D. At times, it really did look like I was seeing actual things in front of me and not just a movie. But it really didn't have that "film" look at all...like the look of a hi-def daytime soap opera. That was a bit weird.

But what I noticed more was that it really looked like they used natural lighting throughout the whole movie. All the daytime scenes (even indoor) were very bright.
