All this talk of DESK SET is making me want to watch it. Last time I watched it, I was probably about 10 years old.

Last time I watched DESK SET was at a retreat for Ohio reference librarians at Mohican State Park about 10 years ago. Sounds like a good thing to do during our impending snowstorm (Sunday) and coldest weather in 20 years (Monday and Tuesday).

DR Ginny, I'm happy that the eye situation has been taken care of.

After the madness of the ROBERTA brouhaha, I just had a lovely phone call from Robert Kimball that perked me right up. We are on the books for lunch next Friday. It will be nice to catch up.

Hmmm, could that be the reason I've spent the first 2 business days of the year in 2 different health care providers' offices?

What excellent news, DR JRand63! I knew there had to be some astrological turmoil afoot. That's very good news. On Monday, I have at be at my eye doctor's office on 22nd street and Fifth Avenue, and that's my only tsuris next week.

I believe I am having a vicarious snow day. I have cranked up the heat, turned on the fireplace, and brewed a fresh cup of coffee with French Vanilla creamer. The only thing missing is the actual snow.

I wonder if there's an Comcast OnDemand screensaver of snow falling. They have fireplaces that you can just sit and watch...on your TV.

i think he just has to disconnect the cable wire from the TV and then you'll have screen full of snow

I just read a review of Throne of Blood on Blu-Ray with a new buzz word. "Though some print DETRIRTUS remains, particularly noticeable in fades…"

I had to look up that word

and it means

In biology, detritus (pronounced dee-try-tus) is non-living particulate organic material (as opposed to dissolved organic material). It typically includes the bodies or fragments of dead organisms as well as fecal material.

So is it a correct usage describing images in blu-ray? I think not

Snow is nice when you're not shlepping in it.

singdaw · « **Reply #134 on:** January 03, 2014, 03:09:43 PM »

Schlepping in... close, but not QUITE like, sleeping in...

We watched a documentary last night called "The Queen of Versailles," a riches-to-rags story. In some ways, it brings to mind "Grey Gardens."

More sadly self-obsessed, sickly self-deluded folk you will never see.

I'm sorry, but when I look up and see that Roberta logo on my wall, I will send vibes. And I'm looking now. (Is that not the greatest logo of its time?)

I want to see that. The previews were grotesque. (It's on reserve.)

I can't even wrap my tongue around pronouncing DETRIRTUS.

Tell him we want a recording of Let's Face It. (And Red, Hot and Blue!, Around the World ..., Seven Lively Arts, Mississippi Belle ...)

Thank you, Mike. I hope I can find time to enjoy at least one of them this weekend.

Glad the eye news is as good as it, DR Ginny. The question is, do you have time to let it rest?

John G. · « **Reply #142 on:** January 03, 2014, 03:30:05 PM »

Made almost unbelievable progress in getting the last details of the major part of the book done. In the last two days, people have taken the time to talk with me and they have been helpful, funny, quotable and even educational. Each place that gets checked off the list feels like an answered prayer.

Damn it. Nothing but a couple of pieces of crap in my mail, both yesterday and today!

Hey, I've got a question:

Did anyone here post that the film of STOP THE WORLD, I WANT TO GET OFF was going to be released on DVD by the Warner Archive Collection?

Somewhere or other, I heard that or read it, and put it on my list to get eventually. But I was on their site today, and nada. I'm just trying to figure out where I heard that it was coming.

Ben, would you like to drive over here and help me get this Roku (which I will love) set up? Oh, and can you stop by Cila's and pick up the vegetable pizza on your way?

I love the logo. the music publisher kept changing colors for the music.

Thanks, DR John G! We're probably weather-bound until Tuesday or Wednesday, so I'll be able to sleep in and/or nap for the next few days.
