The original "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" is showing on the WB network starting in 30 minutes Central time.
Oooh, Boris Karloff!
Very good :~D We caught it a couple nights ago...
My cable TV station just locked up... it's in a freeze frame and has been for a few minutes. This has never happened before :~O
I tried having a nap. It sort of worked but it was very non restful because our upstairs neighbor was playing his "music" and so these threads of thumping sounds kept intruding.
Hopefully it will be enough because I don't think I'm getting any more rest tonight.
Oh? Why is that? :~D
Happens to us a lot on certain channels. Do you have digital cable? That's what does it in our case, I think.
Well, the whole "shuttle picking me up at 3 am" thing rather rules out actual sleep, per se. I don't sleep well when I have to be up at a time like that.
Oh - you're flying out early...
OK - fill us in.... when is whatshisname arriving at the folkses, and how long is he visiting?
Friday before New Year's. Two and a half days.
Ah - OK... And what have you got planned? :~D
Then you go to meet his folks right? When and where?
Fill us in!!
We don't have any plans. Plans would be too high-stress or something. The plan is he meets the family and vice versa.
Then two weeks later it's the same deal, only in Texas. And with fewer siblings.
Good evening, Rose! Today was your interview, no? How did it go?
Oh - well, I might disagree... plans to go do and see some local touristy thing or have a particular dinner someplace or something is less stressful than sitting around staring at each other not sure what happens next sometimes.
Max is the essence of the dog, Rose :~D
It's good, and fun for the other person to see the sights and places you grew up in!
And although I'm aware Jen and Talon have issues about going somewhere alone... I know when I met ecurbh's folks down in AZ, it was really stressful for me, and I appreciated seeing his family in couple hour increments, then he'd offer to go show me something to get away a bit... "Hey - let's go for a drive up to such and such, I want you to see it..." "Great!" (He could have been taking me to see a hole in the ground for all I cared!)
That's not a very nice way to talk about the Grand Canyon.
That's about how my brother did it, too, when bringing Anne to meet us.
On the other hand, he did things like, for example, the time we were all sitting around the table, and he was gonna run upstairs to take a shower before they headed off somewhere for a bit. Right before leaving the room, he said "Don't you all think Anne has the most gorgeous eyes?"
And then took off, leaving all of us sitting there wondering what to say...
Or meteor crater. Didja take her all the way out there?
