I watch the movies much more often than I watch episodes of the series. Besides, a good Blu-ray transfer of I, II, IV, and VI for less than the price of them individually sounds like a win to me.
Well, considering that I don’t have any of the previously remastered versions–I bought II, IV, and IV when first released–I still think it will be a great improvement in quality from what I have.
Also, I found a great piece of software for $9.95 that takes my audiobook CDs and gets them into an audiobook format for iTunes. For Macs only. It’s called Audiobook Builder. Let me know if you want info on that. Seems to be really awesome and easy for a techtard like me to figure out.
Managed to get in some actual productivity tonight. About to start in on tonight’s Altador Cup gameplay session. (Okay, I promise not to keep talking about this all month. :-) )
Wow, that Scott Sigler seems to have figured out a thing or two about this writing business. Listened to the last episode of Contagious today. Hell of an ending.
Ed: YES. I finished it today, too. What an emotional rush. I was choked up, pumped full of adrenaline, and frustrated at how far away a sequel is all at the same time.
Vanamonde – What was his second? I started listening to Infection but broke off of it to read Infected and then Contagious. And that’s my complete history with Siggy.
Morning, Deadpan. I wish I was in Phoenix! Jealous!
It has been quiet around here. For my part, it’s been one hell of a week so far. Is it really only Wednesday? Here’s the highlight reel for my Monday:
Ran out of coffee; Dumped a 3/4 cup of day-old mocha all over my car on the way to work;Got a call that my friend/co-workers dad passed away – agreed to cover for him for another week (he’s been out since his dad was put into hospice the previous Monday); Checked my email to find that one of my employees resigned with one week’s notice (her last day is this Friday); was told that a co-worker was outside freaking out with 4 sheriffs surrounding him – went to investigate; Learned that a man, who was an ex-boyfriend of another Evil, Inc. employee, had just shot himself in a car in the parking lot – the freaking out co-worker had witnessed the shooting; Learned that I was in charge of keeping employees in the building as work leaked out, and did so.
It was a long & stressful day. Yesterday was calm in comparison. Today, the sheriff’s office is sending a grief counselor out to the office – I won’t be attending the session – which will no doubt turn the heat back onto the workplace drama.
Tomorrow, we’re having a going away potluck for the employee who is leaving (who, incidentally, I would like to throttle for leaving us in the lurch at the height of our busy season, but . . ).
I read TEB’s post from this morning as saying “the coyotes were f*cking in the park today” and though TEB?! NO!!! And read it again.
Whew.
Thanks for all the hugs. Today was indeed better! Though I did again spill something. But I won’t bore you with that. Tonight – sirloin and corn on the grill.
WNDRWolf: I only have limited restorative powers -limited to my 500gb external hard drive, and an image program called Macrium Reflect. However, my laptop now has infinitely more power compared to the “NTLDR cannot be found” message it had Monday.
Yup, we’ll be getting it too, ditto ;)
It’s the complete package, Cj.

I thought JACK was the complete package ?!?!
Be warned – reviews of the “blu-ray” version of the original Star Trek movies are rather mixed. As I understand, only Khan was really “restored”.
Honestly, I’d rather just buy Khan on it’s own.
I’m not enough of a ST movie fan to to covet that boxset.

Stupid migraine in my brain. Go away. I am miserable.

FYI: Send Data” translates to “Data Schicken” in German. Now you know.
Sounds like a make of razor blades.

Forget Columbo. Peter Falk will always be Fred Savage’s grandpa to me.

I did enjoy Infection, I should check out Contagious.
We had a pair of Jacks and a pair of Dans at the LLAP house tonight. Good times, good food, bad Star Trek (through no fault of our hosts).
Seems like we’ve had a quiet, steady week around here. I hope everyone is doing well.
Morning Pan, trying to find a company that sells Apple iphone headsets other than Apple.
I like my clicker.
Stopped listening to Sigler after his second book, too many other good things to listen to.
Amy – I finished reading Contagious months ago, so I have a little sympathy for your frustration. But just a little. I’m saving most of it for me.
Vanamonde – What was his second? I started listening to Infection but broke off of it to read Infected and then Contagious. And that’s my complete history with Siggy.
Ancestor I think.

Working for the weekend. EssBee out.
van – shoot me an email about the tracks you liked.
Morning Deadpan.
The sun is shining, birds are singing, I’m stuck at my desk – Blech
Sorry to hear about your week, EssBee
Major suckage EssBee.
Certainly hoping things move up from here.
cool!

*Hugs* to EssBee.
Things are indeed going slowly and steadily around here.
*Double-half caf Grande Hugs* to EssBee
You don’t follow my links do you TEB!
LOL
Went for a walk. The coyotes were frolicking in the park today.
I usually do, Van. I guess I just missed that one.
Beats feral kitty cats.
Well, off for another walk. First to the drug store, then I think I’ll pick up a donair for lunch
Van, while I personally have never seen them, there has been the occasional cougar sightings at the park (And I mean the cats, not the women :) )
The Coyotes frolicing in the park that is.
That sounds like a perfect storm of awful, EssBee. Hugs, indeed.
Although, I suspect the gangs of drunken teenagers you see in parks these days are a far greater threat than any cougar.
Back form the store. Quick hop in before I eat lunch.
Fish Creek isn’t too bad for kids and the homeless, Van. They tend to patrol it pretty frequently as it is considered a wildlife corridor.

Cool. The Golden Voyage of Sinbad is on TV.
Something.

You know, I saw The Golden Voyage of Sinbad at the cinema in the 70′s, Tom Baker was a cool bad guy and later a cool Dr Who.
One of the better Sinbad movies…
Of course you didn’t know..errrr but you do now.

Van is that a challenge?

Mash f5 button
Wow. I let days pass before looking at the pan.
serves me right for having killed my laptop.
It has been resurrected, but at a slight loss. It is now labeled “Jesus Christ: Diminished Star”
EssBee (*hug*)
So Lejon does that mean you have the power of resurrection?
If so I have a list that I really want to beat the crap out of again…
WNDRWolf: I only have limited restorative powers -limited to my 500gb external hard drive, and an image program called Macrium Reflect. However, my laptop now has infinitely more power compared to the “NTLDR cannot be found” message it had Monday.
Good Night, Pan – I promise I’ll pay more attention the next time I’m hacking a net-book.
Oh what happened to your netbook Lejon?
Oh and sorry Wolf, I’ll listen to the episode again and email you..my memory has more holes than swiss cheese.
