Have you seen Julie & Julia yet? I think that is out on DVD. It was fun to watch. Also a good idea. It, and District 9 and The Proposal and 500 Days of Summer (Mary Ann's suggestion) are all on my On Demand menu. We've never bought a movie through On Demand (Jim will only watch the free ones and they are pretty much all dreck---oh my gosh, the 1994 version of Frankenstein with Kenneth Branaugh and Robert DeNiro was a train wreck) for 4.99, so maybe I'll try out that feature. Easier than driving to blockbuster, yes? Do they just add it to your Comcast bill, or is there something I should know ahead of time about activating an account or something? They will just add it to your bill. I also recommend Redbox, if you have that in your area. We have several in my smallish town, normally just outside grocery stores. Movies for only a buck! (or less ) |

My sins came back to haunt me today. I was doing a major re-arrange of my office and in the process came across Snickers wrappers that had fallen behind my wastebasket, Dorrito crumbs, and squashed Skittles. Oy.

I keep trying to get composed enough to make a coherant post about yesterday; no such luck. The bottom line is that Franklin will be reevaluated in three months (Happy Birthday to Me) and may have major back surgery in six months; he's supposed to be getting his other medical stuff under control and work on getting some muscular development going, but the first step is getting out of bed.
Julia, argh.

Human Target:
Yes it's a comic book and a bit formulaic. So I may eventually tire of it, but so far the charm of Mark Valley and the Lone Ranger-ness of it suck me right in.
Probably wouldn't miss it if I didn't tape it but if I watch the first 3 minutes I end up watching the whole thing.
Die Hard meets Robin Hood + "who was that masked man" vibe. Wonder if we will ever learn much about his back-story.

Julia, argh.  and good vibes for both of you. Wish I could do more. Which by the way, I had a bit of a talk with my mom yesterday regarding stress levels and how I don't have anyone to talk to. She said something to the effect that (a) I could lean on her, and (b) she thinks it'd be good for her to help me, and it's about time she started doing that. Not that I'm going to overuse the privilege, but it's nice to know I can if I need to. Anne, Stickles glitter glue drying on both wands, and I assembled a pair of earrings from Artgirlz mini crown charms and a couple of teeny labradorite beads |

Julia, argh. So sorry. And the waiting part intensifies the suckiness. The worst part is that he's basically checked out of reality most of the time; he's been home more days than he's been at work so far this year, and there's a lot of stuff I can't do (mostly because my hands are getting worse, and I can't grasp most jars, bottles, cans, basically anything over about an inch in diameter) that he usually does at home that just aren't happening. Julia, and at the moment he's folded up like wet cardboard and I can't convince him he'd feel better if he'd eat something. |

I'm feeling a whole lot of end-of-the-road-ness right now; things can't keep on the way they're going but I don't see a way to affect change either. Julia, must make another try to get him out of bed and eating something. |

Julia, must make another try to get him out of bed and eating something. If you need to vent, you know where I am - PM me, or email me, or whatever.  At least I finally got mine to call the doctor - he's going to have that cough checked out tomorrow morning. I'm going to suggest he ask about the snoring and the congestion as well; I'm sure those aren't helping with the sleeping either. |

I'm in the middle, too, except for being strongly sequential. I'm in the middle for active and reflective. I've got a moderate preference for verbal over visual, but apparently have a HUGE preference for intuitive and global styles. Here's mine. 1 on the ACT side 5 on the INT side 7 on the VIS side 9 on the GLO side Vlad |

 Also giggling, because she really does seem to be mocking me with her monkey pants. |
