"Taking Chance". When an American soldier dies in combat, her/his remains are escorted home by another member of the military to ensure the soldier is treated with honor at every step of her/his journey. This film is based on a true story about a soldier who died in Iraq & the officer that...

BBC's "History of Scotland" with Neil Oliver.

The new Sherlock Holmes movie. I had read some bad reviews for it, but I really enjoyed it. Now I have to see the first one.

My only resolution: try to do better.

By the middle of December, the constant playing of traditional carols in stores (& seemingly, every where else I go) is enough to drive me to screaming rages. It's become a tradition for me to search out unusual covers of holiday songs & force my loved ones to listen to them at family...

The other day I came across my copy of "Dead Men Don't wear Plaid" & watched that. It's a Steve Martin film that pays tribute to the "hard-boiled" detective films of the 1940s. I think it was cleverly done; it includes clips from old films & Martin interacts with film legends, including...

I've been looking at videos about the protests in Madison as well. I've been up in Madison, so I want to find out what was happening where I wasn't. (Yesterday it was impossible to get into the capitol; I spent all day out doors). It's been interesting. I think my brothers are surprised that...

"Universe" is the only one I watch, because it has Robert Carlyle in it. I don't watch it regularly, though.

Right now I'm watching an all-night marathon of "The Locator". It's a reality show about Troy Dunn, who finds lost people & reunites them with the folks looking for them. He's reunited adopted children with their biological families, parents & the children stolen by non-custodial ex-spouses...

The Packers win the Super Bowl!!!!!!!

I've been watching vids about the Green Bay Packers (Super Bowl Champs!!!!) since they beat Da Bears & earned a Super Bowl slot. This is my favorite: YouTube - Clay Mathews Release the Beast

You're right, of course. I'd been reading "P & P" in an omnibus edition, & my mind was still in Merriton when I opened the book.

"Our ages were nearly the same,and from our earliest years we were playfellows and friends. I cannot remember a time when I did not love Eliza; and my affection for her, as we grew up, was such, as perhaps, judging from my present forlorn and cheerless gravity, you might think me incapable of...

I love being able to delight my great niece & great nephew unexpectedly (like when they overheard me reply to someone's comment, "Oh yeah? Well, I have wings & can fly!" & my three-year old great nephew took me literally & wanted to know where my wings were, so i found a pair to wear when I'm...

His few starring roles were "stoners": goofy, clueless schmucks that were supposed to be funny. His acting style is, to be kind, wooden.

He is a bad actor, but IMO Pauly Shore is much worse.

Here's a young Keith Urban: YouTube - Keith Urban Devil Went Down to "Nashville"

"Grown Ups" with Adam Sandler & Chris Rock. I didn't expect to like it because I'm not much of a Sandler fan & went only because I had free tickets, but it turned out to be very funny.

I'm watching vids about Linux & Ubuntu.

You can take away my TV, my MP3 player, even my computer, but if you try taking my books away, you're going to get hurt. Some months my biggest expense is reading material. I'm almost at the point where I'll have to buy another house; one for books & one for me & Bubba the WonderCat. I want...
