Time Warner to Pull Stations Tonight

Wednesday, December 31, 2008

Time Warner customers may not receive Viacom networks after midnight tonight. That includes Nickelodeon, MTV, VH1 and Comedy Central. As this article says, "...Americans spend a fifth of their TV time watching Viacom shows but its fees make up less than 2.5 percent of the Time Warner cable bill."

I sided with TW on the local network television issue this year, but I have to side with Viacom on this one. Time Warner needs to get rid of channels no one is watching and keep the good stuff.

Our cat Spanky died this summer.

6. What was the best gift (most appropriate or best received) you gave during the ’08 holidays?
Flip Mivo for the in-laws. They travel constantly to orphanages in India, where the kids are thrilled to see themselves in photos. Can't wait to hear what they think about seeing themselves in video!

I wish I would have remodeled the master bathroom. :)

Back from Dallas

Friday, December 26, 2008

DFW weather is quite unpredictable this time of year. During Christmas week 2008 it was warm and overcast. Eh. Beats icy and snowy, I suppose. Stayed at the in-laws. Completed the annual puzzle. Played games. Drove around Plano looking at lights. Lauren drove on a six-lane street with lots of traffic, to the bank, where she parked for the first time with other cars. Hung out at Steve's. Lots of fun stuff!

We went to the ICE! show at the Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine. It's 14,000 square feet of holiday-themed ice sculptures, including a giant slide. The exhibit is kept at 9 degrees Fahrenheit, so they give you a parka. I had two jackets on underneath at the suggestion of my mother-in-law. It was a tad warm, and I couldn't really move. I recommend gloves instead. There is a continuing debate over whether the show is worth $20 a person. I say not really. It was cool, but I would price it at $12. They do validate your parking, which is otherwise $10, so that is a plus. I enjoyed walking around the atrium with all the decorations. It's just beautiful. So I think the best bet is going to the hotel and having drinks in the atrium. Even better, get a room- there are specials going on over the holidays!

1. What is a nickname a former (or present) lover gave you?
None of them has called me by a nickname. Maybe after we broke up...

2. How do you style your hair?
My hair is either naturally large-ish curls or ironed straight. Depends on if I want to walk around with wet hair in the morning.

Getting back into a weekly competition schedule with Lauren's Winter Guard.

Bob! Bob!

Saturday, December 20, 2008

Yeah yeah... "Bob! Bob!"... a reference to my meeting Bob Schneider at Dennis Quaid's annual celeb golf tournament Laura and I helped out with several years ago. See, he was busy at our hole, so I had to wait for him to come around to the hole behind us to get his autograph on my baseball cap. As I was skipping quickly walking through the rough between the holes, he started to walk towards his cart. So I called to him to sign my hat. No biggie. It certainly doesn't warrant everyone doing a terrible impersonation of me every time his name comes up, thankyouverymuch.

Kathy L and I went to the taping of his live DVD at the Paramount last night. It was SO FUN. They did three encores. Can't wait for the DVD.

*sings* School's... Out... for... Christmas

Thursday, December 18, 2008

You may not know it, but you were all just spared a long treatise on my support of gay marriage. You're very welcome. :)

I have reduced it to one point: President-Elect Obama does not support gay marriage. (I know- it was a shock to me when he said it at the debate, too.) Why the press and celebrities in the gay community continue to assume he does is a mystery to me. I think it's a stereotypical assumption because he is a Democrat.

Lauren is having her wisdom teeth out tomorrow. All four. I just heard of someone who had five wisdom teeth. Good gracious. I have gotten the most delicious baby food fruits for her enjoyment over the first 24 hours after surgery. And I have frozen peas at the ready for swelling. We are prepared!

C-c-c-c-coldddd

Tuesday, December 16, 2008

I got two tickets to Billy Joel/Elton John in San Antonio!! I've always said I'd catch them the next time they tour, never actually expecting them to tour again. SO cool. Who wants to go with me?!

Everyone's Facebook status is something to do with how cold it is in their house. Why is that? I can only guess that it feels cold because we are all used to keeping the AC at 78 and the heater is set to 68. Either way, it's just DANG COLD. Tonight I am going to get the fireplace going. I don't think it really helps, but it's nice to look at.

Curious as a Cat

1) What one quality of your father’s would you most like to share?
His ability to tell a GREAT story. People are always on the edge of their seats when he talks.

2) Among all the people you know, who would you like to have known when s/he was a child?
My great-grandma. She was probably a little hell-raiser.

3) If you wanted to meditate for a whole day, where would you do it?
On a secluded Hawaiian beach. Barring that, I would find a local spot with a nice view of Lake Austin.

4) What is your favorite thing to do in a city park?
People watch. And swing.

5) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.
This reminds me of the street market in Nassau.

Sliding Doors 'n Stuff

Monday, December 15, 2008

Sliding Doors, the 1998 movie with Gwyneth Paltrow, where she has two concurrent scenarios playing out based on whether or not she makes the train, sat around here for over a month while my queue stagnated at Netflix. Finally watched it, and it was very entertaining. Lots of funny banter in it, which I LOVE. Chick flick for sure, although Jeff did make it through the entire thing. I developed quite the crush on James, the "good guy" boyfriend, until this scene where everything changed. GRR. Then I hated him and cursed him for being even worse than the cheating boyfriend. The twists are interesting and keep you guessing, so definitely check it out if you haven't seen it before.

Our Boston area friends are digging out from ice, as is AMD there. Hope conditions improve quickly.

Got another great newsletter review, from the lovely Melissa who says one of her family's Christmas Eve traditions is "reading aloud egregious holiday newsletters we receive." Reading egregious holiday newsletters! LOL. We'll have to do that this year.

Christmas Newsletters Out

Saturday, December 13, 2008

The first of the newsletters has been received, and the review was good! What a RELIEF! I wasn't going to do one this year, because I was so uninspired, but at the last minute, I thought of something. So there ya go. 2008- check.

LQ tonight. May be drinking wine. I know it's boring, but Kath has a couple of wines she doesn't like, that I happen to love, and we don't want something like that to go to waste. I baked cookies for the LQ girls today. Shhhh...

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!!

You're welcome.

Meme from Curious as a Cat


1) What one quality of your mother’s would you most like to share?

Her creativity, which I do happen to share.

2) If you promised never to lie about anything ever again, in what area of your life would be it the hardest for you to keep the promise?
I don't lie about much other than things like... if that dress makes your butt look huge. And I don't even tell those little white lies to my close friends. So I guess it would be the area of "little white lies to acquaintances" with which I would have the hardest time.

3) If you found a fifty dollar bill in a vacant lot, what would you do with it?
Take a couple of friends to lunch.

4) What good deed that you didn’t do when you had the opportunity do you wish you had done?
When I was at MD Anderson during college, one of the engineering professors' wives was there, too. She had non-Hodgkins lymphoma and was doing her radiation treatments at the same time I was every morning. We talked every day. I was really ill from side effects at the time, and she was so sweet. It wasn't her first round with her cancer, so she was just in treatment to keep it at bay for as long as possible. About a year after I left school, I read that she had passed away. I intended to write the professor a letter telling him how very wonderful she was and how much our conversations meant to me. I just never managed to get it done. He's passed away since then as well.

5) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

This looks exactly like my grandmother's old mixer back-in-the-day. Reminds me of baking Christmas cookies!

Piano Bar and Car Czar

Tuesday, December 9, 2008

I love to hang out at a sing-along piano bar like Pete's. We recently did it on vacation out-of-state this summer, but we haven't been to Pete's in years. Some of us want to go over winter break while the students are out of town, but the trouble is finding a night everyone is available. Bleh. I have one free weekend night between now and Christmas, and I also have other things I want to do, like Trail of Lights.

And... This auto bailout is irritating the crap out of me. Who will be next? Shall we just buy up/loan to/bail out everyone? The government will be running everything soon. They do such a bang-up job at it, too.

Businesses should figure these things out on their own. It's the American Way. Some banks managed to figure it out by merging or selling. Companies are also coping by going to a four-day workweek or reducing salaries or whatever other creative things they can do. Where is that spirit with these other groups who are sinking us all further into national debt?

And lastly, I saw that Gore will not be part of the Obama administration. Oh. Thank. Goodness. I can't stand that Clinton is in there. I can't imagine the both of them.

Happy BDay Lori!

Monday, December 8, 2008

It's Lori's birthday today. For a few months, she'll be older than me. HA.

FINALLY finished the annual Holiday Newsletter. I got myself into a graphics nightmare at some point during the design process, and then figured it out. It's all good.

A couple of months ago, I was explaining to my aunt in Denver that although the economy is bad around the country, I didn't actually know anyone who had lost their job or their house, etc. In the last several weeks, I now know two people who have lost jobs, and one who will find out Wednesday if she still has hers. Ack.

I'm off to address Christmas cards. Merry merry!

Wrap Night and Other Saturday Adventures

Sunday, December 7, 2008

Scott and Julie's game night food theme last night was "wraps," including Asian and Spanish lettuce wraps and the pièce de résistance-- apple crepes. Bravo. They went old school with the games. We played Sorry, which was absolutely hilarious with six people trying to get in on the action. Scott won that. Also played Chinese Checkers, which Julie won. Hmm. Sounds like these games were rigged! ;)

I took Lauren to the Burger Stadium parking lot for her first behind-the-wheel driving lesson yesterday. She rocked. This morning we're doing a little neighborhood driving before church. She would love to drive to church, but there's a quarter-mile 65mph highway portion of that drive. Maybe next week (or the next).

Sunday Stealing

700th Post

Saturday, December 6, 2008

This is my 700th post in this blog. In celebration, I present... a 700-question meme.

Just kidding. Do you know how long it would take me to read and cross-reference Scotty's answers to something of that scope? Yeesh.

Yesterday Nate Berkus was on Oprah awarding some design awards to regular people. One was to this GUY who redid his kids' rooms. You should have seen the beautiful job he did with the little girl's room. Pink, black and white. SO pretty. Here's a bad pic:



But you get the gist. The best part- a delicate crystal chandelier that Dad hand-beaded as the main light fixture. So awesome.

Bunco is back on again after a year hiatus. We had the best time last night!

David C

Thursday, December 4, 2008

David Cook is a lefty. Hmm! Why didn't I notice that before? He also has great lips. I did notice that before.

Having listened to the CD for a while, I have revised my faves.
1. Avalanche
2. Lie
3. Heroes

I skip (*gasp!*) Life on the Moon and Daily Anthem.

Don't you hate when people post song lyrics in their blogs? I'm all about great lyrics, but so far have been good about not doing that. Well, here ya' go... from "Lie"...

...You’re hiding regret in your smile
There’s a storm in your eyes
I’ve seen coming for a while
Hang on to the past tense tonight
Don’t say a word, I’m ok with the quiet
The truth is going to change everything

So lie to me and tell me that it’s gonna be alright
So lie to me and tell me that we’ll make it through the night
I don’t mind if you wait before you tear me apart
Look me in the eye and lie, lie, lie...

And also... re:Grammy noms... "Love Song" by Sarah Bareilles is one of the best songs ever. I'm so glad to see her get some nominations! She opened for Duran Duran when we saw them this year. Great talent.

Anyone other than Jeff.

It's Christmas Time!

Monday, December 1, 2008

Yesterday, I dragged all the stuff out of the Christmas closet, and guess what! No tree. I remembered then that we threw the old one out last year. Ahaha. So we missed the giant sale at Garden Ridge last week, and went Sunday with 8 gazillion other shoppers who bought trees at full price. Too funny. Now everything is up and decorated. Fa la la la la...

Entertainment Weekly featured "The 50 Sexiest Movies Ever" last week. Definitely a few I will add to my Netflix queue. I don't agree with some of the rankings though. I'm a huge Clooney fan, but I think Mr. and Mrs. Smith was waaay sexier than Out of Sight, which they ranked #1. A Walk on the Moon would be my #1 by far. Just sayin'. Heck, Mortensen is a blonde nuts-n-twigs hippie in that one and I still think it's the best. If you haven't seen it- run, don't walk, to your nearest Hollywood Video.

Last night, Laura and I watched 60 Minutes together on the phone, like 14-year-olds. See, Richard told Laura that Anderson Cooper was going to be on in a swimming segment with Michael Phelps. (Thank you Rich!) So we watched and waited- I with great anticipation and she with equal trepidation. She was sure she wouldn't be so attracted to the skinny pale guy in swim trunks. Well... I was very pleased with him. NICE shoulders. Holy wow. Wanna see?

So what the heck is up with TCU being #11 on the BCS rankings? TCU? I had no idea they were burning up the rankings this year. Hmm!
