Well my regular camera was in the shop so I was forced to buy disposable cameras. Well one  whole camera screwed up. Most of the shots were taken outside and they did not come out. Damn them. Damn them all to hell!!

In the news today:

Nick and Jessica are splitting up.

I know not who they are, nor do I care.

You are not alone Dear Reader Laura. I know them not nor care not about them either.
Celebrities' lives and loves are of very little interest to me at all.
No wonder I don't know their names.

You are a desperate man Mr Dale.
Should I post links to other sites where your offer would be accepted?

Of course had you mentioned Ice Cream as had Bock & Harnick, my reply would have been quicker.

Evening folks!

DR Michael S, I am so glad you had such a good time in NYC!  

Knock, Knock.

Who’s there?

Boo!

Boo Who?

Well, you don’t have to cry about it!

Remember when I said that didn’t want to go out and brave the crowds?  Well, that was me talking, not my Mother.  She decided that she wanted a real Christmas tree this year.  She couldn’t wait until tomorrow.  She wanted it today.

We can’t handle one of those big trees but we could get one of those “table top” type of trees.  So off we went to the different tree sellers.  We finely found the perfect tree at Lowes.  

Then she wanted new lights—our old lights might (note the operative word there is “might”) not be good.  So we had to battle our way through Walmart to get new lights.  Then a new tree skirt, then tinsel, then a new Angel for the top of the tree, etc, etc.

I kept saying we should wait until I could get the chance to pull the box of Christmas things to go though them to see what we had before getting all new stuff but ahhh well.

And when we got the tree home, I had to cut a couple of inches off the bottom and it is now soaking in a bucket of water with special chemicals to make it last longer.  

I'll put it up on Sunday.  That will give me time to pull all of our Christmas things out of the shed and see what is what.  

So much for my nice, quiet day at home.   :D

Maybe you should try to sing "Out Tonight" from RENT to wake up more  folk. . .

I just saw this today!  It was pretty good.  The theater was maybe 3/4 full.  Most of the audience really liked it.  Some people applauded at the end.

My guest Dylan has toddled over to the Barnes & Noble to browse, and I am browsing here.  Or is it hear?

In my CD player:  nothing.

In my VCR:  nothing.  I was home last night to watch "The Apprentice" and I'm home now to watch "Ghost Whipserer" (which I only watched because it was on before "Threshold," which I like more, but sadly is being cancelled. :( )

In my DVD player:  "Michael Ball In Concert" (are you jealous, Danise or do you have it? ;) I got it from Netflix, so it has to go back)

Back from The Nutcracker! What a wonderful show and what wonderful dancing...and the costumes were fantastic.

Taylor so eager for it to start. Her mom said she has been excited all day long about going!

Taylor wanted Uncle Mike to be seated next to hear and several times during the show she looked up at me and whispered "I love you Uncle Mike."

My heart is very warm right now!  ;D

Thanksgiving was loud and obnoxious, but one of those family things one must endure.  Today, the DP and I made our own Thanksgiving dinner and it was lovely.  I saw "Rent" - thought it was a vast improvement over the stage production in a good way.  It works through sung on stage but I feared it wouldn't on the screen and the dialogue made all the difference.  I cried at the end.

Back on a little earlier than usual. I'm really tired so it's going to be an early night for me. I did want to talk about the two DVDs I watched tonight.

First up was Spielberg's WAR OF THE WORLDS.

I liked it very much. Very well done, suspenseful, thoroughly enjoyable.

The DTS sound on my system was SO deeply powerful that I could honestly feel the cooler air rushing out from the speakers toward me whenever the tripods made their presences known. One of the most awe-inspiring sound designs ever on a DVD and surely reference material for those who want to show off the sound on their surround systems.

spoiler














I did have one part of the film that I did not particularly think was necessary or very good - when Cruise himself deliberately got the tripod to snatch him up and put him onboard the ship. I really did not like this sequence aboard the ship; it took me right out the movie that I had been enjoying and in a weird sort of way spoiled my suspension of disbelief. This entire sequence just did not ring true to me at all.

Then I put in the newly refurbished KING KONG. Yes, they have done a masterful job cleaning the movie up as much as they could. Is it going to look as clean as a new movie? Never. But compared to the KONG Criterion laserdisc I have, this DVD looks worlds better.

I'd like to see all three major documentaries in this 2-disc package, but my eyes got just too heavy to look at any of them.

So, tomorrow, I'll look at some of the documentaries on KONG and then perhaps finally at long last get to SPANGLISH on the DVR.
