Back from lunch:

A sort of Greekish affair...salad of cucumbers, feta cheese, carrot slivers and red bell pepper slices. Very tasty in an oily dressing.

Also had a cup of potato & roasted garlic puree, served warm with croutons. Slurp!

DR Jennifer: I am sorry to VILIFY Boston Rob...I realize he stirs passion in some people...generally portions of the female persuasion. Of course, "vilification" is a passion, too, come to think of it.

I suggested to the director that he move heaven and earth to get the actor who played Barrett last year in TITANIC to take the role of the son. He liked him very much as well, and he's a MUCH better actor than the kid who was playing Jean-Michel. Talking him into doing it with only three weeks to prepare is another matter. (And who knows what else he has going on in his life at the moment.)

Anyway, it's out of my hands. I've got all I can do learning my part.

Boston Rob had a passionate effect on me, too - passionate hatred and loathing.

Ann you are the kind of person I would want my child with, if I needed day care. Those are lucky children.

Vixmom, lovely picture of the children. The one of the two of you together is beautiful.

Matt H. when you get around to Numbe3s let me know. HOUSE was extra funny last night. We went to watch MEDIUM but TiVo recorded the wrong channel (we have a glitz with our system once in awhile). It’s okay because it recorded in our guest room. I have our favorite shows set in there as a backup.

I decided to give Law & Order: Trial by Jury a try. Does it matter if I begin with the next episode or shall I wait for the re-runs? I noticed Tony Bill is on. I haven’t seen him in front of the camera in years.

Bruce will you be posting more photos of yourself modeling your new outfits. It really is nice to see you wearing something besides a polo shirt.

Today I received a new DVD player. No, there was nothing wrong with my old DVD player/recorder. It's still working fine.

But ever since I got this new TV with a digital HDMI connection on it, I've been longing to get a reasonably priced DVD player that offered a pure digital connection using HDMI (or DVI) between the player and the TV. The player also upconverts standard definition DVDs to near high definition quality using an upconversion chip that calibrates the signal to the maximum resolution of one's HDTV. Since my TV's resolution is 720p, I set the player to upconvert DVDs to that quality level, and I put in DIE ANOTHER DAY, the most recent James Bond movie as my test DVD.

There is a discernable increase in sharpness and detail without adding artifacts and noise to the picture when using this player in this mode. I hooked up the component cables to the player as well and switched back and forth, and I could tell a slight difference in sharpness and the depth of richness in color is also noticeable.

The upconversion won't work unless you have one of those digital jacks (either DVI or HDMI) on your set, but I am well pleased with this latest toy.

Regulation high definition DVD players aren't scheduled to be unveiled until the fourth quarter of this year at the earliest and will carry a near $1,000 price tag. Knowing I won't be in the market for one of those any time soon, this new player is certainly a reasonable alternative.

Yes, I'll watch NUMBERS in the next day or two. I recorded HOUSE last night but haven't had a chance to watch it yet. Looking forward to it as it's one of my favorite shows.

LAW & ORDER: TRIAL BY JURY, like all the L&O shows, are self-contained hour episodes, so you can watch them in any order.

Sandra have fun between now and July. You might even come to Ashland and see FOREVER PLAID.

Matt H, good stage son vibes!

With all these lovely daisies and cute bunnies it feels like spring.

Ron good AC and feel better vibes!

And I made a DVD-R this morning of ROYAL WEDDING that was broadcast last night on TCM. Thought there are some age related artifacts on the print of RW that TCM broadcasts, the DVD I made is still light years ahead of the public domain copies of RW that are out there for purchase. Glad now to have a good copy of this fine, fine musical.

Matt H, thanks. Then we will begin with the Tony Bill episode. I still remember selling him popcorn when I worked at the Bruin Theater. He was soooo good looking, much more in person than on the screen. So much so that another gal I didn’t recognize him even though YOU’RE A BIG BOY NOW was the movie currently playing.

The season finale was last week (which I forgot to tape and watch, so I missed it), so anything you watch now will be repeats...unless I'm mistaken about last week being the season finale.

Boston Rob had a passionate effect on me, too - passionate hatred and loathing.

What is this feeling?
Fervid as a flame,
Does it have a name?
Yes!:Loathing
Unadulterated loathing

For your face

Your voice

Your clothing

Let's just say - I loathe it all
Ev'ry little trait, however small
Makes my very flesh begin to crawl
With simple utter loathing
There's a strange exhilaration
In such total detestation
It's so pure and strong!
Though I do admit it came on fast
Still I do believe that it can last
And I will be loathing
Loathing you
My whole life long!

I don't think your new TV will have an HDMI interface, but I could be mistaken.

The TV GUIDE listed the Tony Bill episode as one featuring Jerry Orbach so it is a rerun. I think I saw all of the episodes of this show, but I don't really remember the plot of one where Bill played a producer.

But I do watch A LOT of TV.

Oh, miserere....

....and then some.

I'm totally mouth-breathing at present. Heavy-duty fans are cooling down the hallways, doors are opened all over the floor, and the air is full of fine particles of whatnot and whichever, all making a beeline for my sinus passages.

I thought Fury was a film about a horse and now I find out the Son of Fury is a human. Tres confusing.

This happens to be episode #1. So you get to meet the characters
