ON A CLEAR DAY is a show I'd like to see redone, but I suspect I wouldn't like the way it's done.

Had a salad for lunch. Basically, lettuce and tomato. I used a Tzatziki Cucumber dressing (it's a Safeway brand that I totally LOVE).

It sounds good.

Here's a question for whomever:

Netflix and Amazon have been producing original content for a few years now, thus playing, to an extent, the role that network television did. I welcome this with open arms and am pleased to see the networks have less power. Do others see it this way? Is there a downside that I don't see?

The cost? Will Netflix eventually offer Amazon shows? Will Amazon eventually offer Netflix shows? Subscribing to both seems pricey.

My brother loves detective shows and was excited when I told him about BOSCH and said it was something to look forward to on Netflix. I didn't have the heart to tell him I didn't know if an Amazon show would ever make it to Netflix.

Today we went to Best Buy to look at 8"tablets, an inch up from my Nook HD. If I were shopping alone, and it was convenient as it would have been in Oregon, I would have looked at the tablets and then gone over to Barnes and Noble to check out their Samsung Nook. It wasn't convenient and my Nook is soooo slow it is basically only good as a reader.

The service was excellent at Best Buy and once I decided I wanted the Samsung the Best Buy salesman called someone and said "Are you still here, good". A Samsung person came over and helped me. Once I purchased the tablet he set up my major apps and showed me how to use the tablet. There is still I need to learn/remember and I didn't know all of my passwords so I will have to play with those apps on my own.

Now I need to search for a cover and hope I can find something better than what they sold at the store.

Not only is my Nook cover, which isn't made anymore, extra soft and padded it has a pocket inside where I keep my long library card numbers.

I have recently received several letters from both the IRS and the California taxation agency. They are usually asking for more money. Yesterday I received a letter saying that I OVERPAID my 2013 taxes by $769! How could that be? No, I am NOT complaining! I am not confident that they have a good handle on what the numbers really should be, but I'll happily accept a refund.

Congrats, Jeanne!

I'm hearing many good things about the various series, and I've been totally remiss in not checking a single one of them out.

I mean, not a one. My TV watching habits remain firmly anchored in the 20th century. Not forever, I hope, but there are so many things clamoring for one's attention and time these days.

That said, I'd guess that as with most things, the more competition, the better for all.

Yes, I think this is a situation where more competition is better. When I look at the shows on TV, ie, not Netflix or Amazon, I have to wonder if this is really the best they can come up with. There are some fine shows, yes, but so much crap! I'm more familiar with the Netflix offerings than Amazon's. Some of it interests me, much of it doesn't. But they do seem to be trying to offer something for everyone.

My hunch is that the N/A shows will offer more diversity, not the same old formula, often with less-known actors, and possibly more creative writing. I'm pleased to see it happening.

The ability to offer more diversity and creative writing is, I would assume, because broadcast TV has legal restrictions on the kinds of language, nudity, and violence that can be shown. The Netflix/Amazon/pay channels don't have those restrictions, so they can be much more adventurous in their offerings.

It was redone on Broadway a few years ago with a man playing David Gamble who was reincarnated from Melinda Wells, played by Jessie Mueller. Harry Connick, Jr. played Dr. Mark Bruckner and fell in love with Melinda, who was really David. Here's a video of a dance that's pretty cool:

From what I remember, it didn't do too well, though.

I'm sure that Netflix and Amazon will never offer each other's shows. They're exclusive to their own services.

What doesn't make sense to me is the Lerner estate allowing others to screw up his work in their greed.

Well, I must be going. I'm running sound and slides for TAO's next project, Words, Words, Words: The Beat Generation. Tonight is the one and only run-through and I have no idea what I will be ready for me. I'm sure it'll all come together for Friday's opening night and Saturday's closing night...it always does.

Until later!
