I think I'm going to sign off and read my book and maybe go to bed early.  After reading Vixmom's Panera post, I made myself a nice big mug of hot cocoa with milk not water and it was yummy and warm....and made me a bit sleepy

How cool that tomorrow which feels like Tuesday is really Friday!!

Back from having a cup of chicken soup and a chopped salad with salami and avocado in mostly vinegar dressing.

[bk]

I wrote a half a page before I left and shall now try really hard to write another three or four - on days this long that's really difficult.

[ChasSmith]

Page-writing vibes for BK.

I drank the rare evening cup of coffee.  By all rights, I should be posting till the cows come home.

[ChasSmith]

But oddly, I feel like I could doze right off in front of the TV.

The cows are huddling together to try to stay warm

Since I had a holiday gift card, I decided to use it to buy a Roku 3.  Now I have my very own, brand new Roku 3 sitting next to be desk.  I have not the slightest idea what to do with it.

Did you purchase an HDMI cable? You need it to connect the box to your HD Flat Screen television (Roku 3 boxes only work with HD televisions). And if you don't have wifi in your apartment you need an ethernet cable to plug the box into your modem. If you do have wifi you don't need the ethernet, you just need to know the name of your wifi network and the password. Once it's connected to your television, you just follow the prompts and you're done in a matter of minutes. You can watch Netflix and other paid streaming movie services or you can find the hundreds of free channels/networks with games, movies, television shows and other ephemera.

I didn't know that I needed an HDMI cable until I got home, so I will get that tomorrow.  I am glad you told me that I won't need an Ethernet cable if I have WIFI.

I got kicked out of HHW, AOL, the internet, the Ethernet, and anything else I could possibly get kicked out of on a computer.

Chas, do you have snow?

My computer is flipping out tonight, so I am shutting it down for the night.

Congrats, Jeanne, on your milestone post.

I'm glad so many other people enjoy Desk Set as much as I do. I thought I was alone in that one.

[John G.]

Watched the Heat. I laughed a few times.

Now I'm watching the beginning of Midnight's Children, which is based on one of my favorite Salman Rushdie novels. Great images of India, but too much of the story feels cramped into a 2:30 timeframe. Still, I'm enjoying it.

[ChasSmith]

Chas, do you have snow?

Looks like around three inches so far.  I ain't going out there to find out.

I thought we'd have more, but though it's a light snowfall, we're only halfway through this thing.  However, I shan't be disappointed if we don't break any records.  The less time I'm out there cleaning up this stuff in these temperatures, the nicer life will be.

I watched about forty-five minutes of a motion picture - about two minutes in I fell asleep for forty minutes, then I watched the other forty-three.  I've written a little over five pages and actually finished chapter one.  I'll probably go back and add just a couple more things, but on to chapter two tomorrow.

Here's something fun to watch for Gwen Verdon lovers and Fosse lovers:

Midnight's Children was a great surprise. Rushdie found a way to tell his story in a cinematic language that was not too faithful to the book and yet it stayed true to the spirit of the novel.

And it kept me up way past midnight.

[John G.]

Good night, all.

Since I had a holiday gift card, I decided to use it to buy a Roku 3.  Now I have my very own, brand new Roku 3 sitting next to be desk.  I have not the slightest idea what to do with it.

I hear they make good paper weights.

Maybe that is it.  Everyone said I would love it once I got it.

Hopefully, you will. Maybe Cilla can set it up for you when she brings the pizza.

I just saw a helpful hint - to keep your pizza warm on the way home, set it on the passenger seat and turn on the seat warmer.  It would have to stay warm a long time to drive it to TCB

Of course, that hint assumes that one even has seat warmers.
