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 hope you don't mind me adding you as a friend

Nah, I don't mind a bit. I friended you back. Of course this means you have to put up with my occasional Brass/Catherine squee-fests.

crusherbevdr manages to tolerate them but probably just barely ;-)

I've been to Denver a few times but only on business so I didn't get to do much. My parents have a second home south of Denver and my sister and her family live out there so this is a family vacation of sorts. I've never been to Portland so I'm really looking forward to that trip. I'll be sure to post all the details when I get back. I'm sure I'll have lots to tell.

I'm biased but the kitties are pretty adorable. Even more adorable now that everyone is healthy and getting along.

My favorite Paul movies are "A Question of Faith" and "Air Force One". I love his extreme cuteness in "The Negotiator" but he's only in it about 10 minutes and I hate what happens to his character.
