And the word of the day is: YIPS!

And The Song Of The Day Is: STRAIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE

Yesterday I finally watched my Netflix Blu Ray selection, CRASH, which has been sitting for about 6 weeks. While there are apparently many films with this title, this one features Don Cheadle, Matt Dillon, Sandra Bullock and many more. To say that this is a dark film is the ultimate understatement. What a "downer!" I don't know why I selected it in the first place. I don't know why I even finished watching it in the second place.

It apparently won a few Oscars. I suppose that it's intent was to deliver a message, but when I watch a film, I want to be entertained and not be the recipient of a "sermon."

The lesson learned is that maybe I should consider changing my Netflix plan to network streaming, which my new Sony Blu Ray player will do. The downside is that it will decrease the number of selections available, but the upside is that I can immediately watch another. My option now is to slip the disk into its envelope, mail it back to Netflix and wait for my next selection to be sent - usually a two day deal. Oh yeah - and speak out about COMCAST trying to screw with Netflix streaming via COMCAST internet services!

Hi WindsongRobbie.

I bought my son a Netflix subscription for Christmas last year. He says he has had the same disc for several months -- but he uses the live streaming thing all the time.

Or something like that. I have no idea what any of it means.

I also watched a lot of METROPOLIS yesterday, and am currently watching the documentary about its restoration on the BD.

I must admit, I love the Bacharach-David LOST HORIZON, so sue me. And I don't think that's actually Liv singing, IIRC, though I still remember the LIFE magazine article when the film was being shot raving about her singing and dancing "skills."

You can play movies over the internets now.

Friday morning greetings! I will be E & T for most of the day, because Richard and I are going to a noon lecture in Hamilton, a 5pm funeral home visitation, and a 7pm performance of Amahl and the Night Visitors in which a friend of ours is playing one of the night visitors. We hope to be home in time to see the second half of the MAC championship game on ESPN2.

Welcome to Miss Molly Brown - I love your name!

Vibes for all - bye for now!

There is a cheaper plan you can go on now if you just use the live streaming. It's $7.99 a month. If he never used the discs, it may be a way to save a little money

arg~!~! Why did I start playing Cityville on Facebook!! If anyone wants to be my neighbor, I'd appreciate it, don't have to play just be my neighbor and it will help me expand

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I'm feeling much, much better. However, I seemed to have lost my voice.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #46 on:** December 03, 2010, 08:53:57 AM »

However, I don't really have to speak to anyone today, so I'm taking it all as a cue to stay put in my apartment for the next couple of hours. Laundry, cleaning, emails, etc. I also stocked up on fresh veggies yesterday at Trader Joe's, so I'll be cooking up some of those today too.

Ok, furnace man (aka Edith's husband) has serviced the furnace for the fall and has raised the height of the intake and exhaust outside so the snow won't get in it again. Time to pay him and go to work

Laura · « **Reply #48 on:** December 03, 2010, 08:59:34 AM »

Jose, if you are playing auditions for anyone today, you can just blink and be silent at their requests, like in that cartoon.

Laura · « **Reply #49 on:** December 03, 2010, 09:04:07 AM »

Glad to hear the furnace is in good shape for the winter!

Well...

A) Some people never talk to their pianist anyway, so...

B) I try not to be "heard" too much in the room as it is. So, I communicate via a finely tuned series of pointing and head nods.
C) Ideally, if the singer is fully prepared, and has properly prepared their sheet music, all I really ever need to do is take a good glance at the first couple of measure, the last couple of measures, and... Go!

For those of you keeping count....

One load of laundry done.

Oh...

And I reminded myself once again just how amazingly effective a simple salt-water gargle can be when one is dealing with a sore throat.

Even though I know it's an opera by Menotti, whenever I hear the title Amahl and the Night Visitors, my mind insists it's really an Indian-Pakastani-Middle Eastern erotic fantasy of DR MBarnum.

Tell Bill and Lyn Shafor hello!

I needed that.

As for "Fantasia"...

Count me in as another non-fan of it too. I remember watching "The Sorceror's Apprentice" segment in grade school each Halloween, but the first time I saw the whole movie... Well... I'm pretty sure I took a couple of naps.

And then when the DVD came out... Well... I can take it in segments, but not as a whole.

John G. · « **Reply #57 on:** December 03, 2010, 09:55:54 AM »

Starting slow this morning. Just can't seem to get in first gear.
