DVDs and Upcoming Travels

I have two trips booked for July. First trip is to Denver the 2nd through the 6th and the second trip is out to Portland, Oregon the 26th through the 31st. I've never been to Oregon so I'm really excited about that trip. Plus, I get to see my cousin and her family, as well as my aunt, who's flying in from Oklahoma. We haven't seen each other in about 5 years so they haven't seen the new, improved me and I haven't seen my aunt since she got her new heart. My cousin offhandedly mentioned going to the beach and that has now evolved to us getting a house right on the water for two nights. Seriously, the excitement is going to make me pass out. Oh, and extra cool part? When I was flying back from Vegas, this United pilot sat between my friend and I. Well, what route does he fly? The non-stop DC to Portland. I'm going to be on his flight! I'd mentioned to him that I was hoping to get to Portland so he said if I did and I was on his plane, make sure I said hi. I know he'll remember me. Before I ever knew he was a pilot I pegged him right away as retired Air Force because he had to make sure that the little clip that holds the tray in place was straight. Air Force guys are like that.

Tomorrow is DVD buying day. I have a long shopping list that includes the most recent Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea DVD release and the Al Pacino collection that has "Local Stigmatic" (finally!) along with "Looking for Richard", both PG movies.

I was really hoping the whole HD/Blu-Ray war would be resolved because I have $130 in Best Buy Rewards and I wanted to buy a new HD DVD player. If only the stupid porn industry would pick which one they're going with so we can get on with it. Crikey, it didn't take them this long to pick VHS over Beta, did it?

On a random kitty note, Harry has taken it upon himself to be Tucker's personal groomer. Of course how could Harry refuse when Tucker is constantly head-butting him?

I saw the blurb about Blockbuster and although Blockbuster isn't the powerhouse they used to be, that coupled with Disney only releasing in BluRay might trump the pr0n industry. Then again, maybe the pr0n industry is realizing that some people really don't want to see peeny and va-jay-jay in HD. Or they haven't figured out how to hide all the flaws.

I cringe when my fav folks do stuff that may not come off well. I have no explanation other than it embarrasses me (pretty sure it's an English, stick up our butt type thing)

I don't think this is an English thing. I always feel the same way when I'm watching my fave with friends or family and they don't like the actor the way I do. When I was a kid, I'd cringe when my mother would watch Voyage or The Avengers with me.

Al Pacino's accent is terrible but it's terrible in a train wreck kind of way. However, sometimes those hairstyles PG sported in his early acting years are worse than any bad accent. But the real reason I'm looking forward to Stigmatic is because I've never seen it and PG is in all of it. I have LfR and while PG looks incredibly hot, he's only in it a few minutes.

I've never been to Portland and yet, I can see myself settling there when I retire. I asked my cousin if there's any negatives to the area and she said it can get a bit dreary in the winter. I can do dreary. And even more awesome, the house is on the ocean.
