  1. I wish I had someone to take care of all of these things for me...
  2. I watched this film last night and loved it. I am probably way behind the power curve on films, but if you haven't seen it yet it's worth watching. Available on NF and I'm sure other streaming venues. Mao's Last Dancer 2010PG117 minutes A delegation from Madame Mao's Beijing Dance Academy selects 11-year-old peasant villager Li Cunxin to study ballet in far-off Beijing, where he trains for seven grueling years to become one of China's greatest dancers. His efforts win him the opportunity to dance in America, opening his eyes to a new love and the possibility of a dramatic defection from China in this remarkable true story based on Cunxin's autobiography. Cast:Bruce Greenwood, Kyle MacLachlan, Joan Chen, Chi Cao, Amanda Schull, Shuangbao Wang, Chengwu Guo, Wen Bin Huang, Aden Young, Jack Thompson, Chris Kirby, Penne Hackforth-Jones Director:Bruce Beresford Genres:Dramas, Romantic Movies, Biographical Dramas, Dramas based on a book, Dramas based on real life, Political Dramas, Romantic Dramas, Tearjerkers, Australian Movies, Dramas based on contemporary literature This movie is:Emotional, Inspiring, RomanticAvailability:Streaming
  3. OMG!!! My heart is already going pitty pat. I await the next episode with anticipatory exultation. And those are pretty big words for an old donkey. Hello Samuel Larson, move over Chord Overstreet. I guess I have issues...but I'm OK with them.
  4. OK. Two solid recommendations, yours and Lucky's. This is going to be my next read once I finish Eric Larsen's In the Garden of Beasts, which also has the Lucky seal of approval. Let's not forget about the new John Burdett novel too. Haven't read it yet but it probably should be on everyone's read list if it's not already.
  5. It's about time! I'd given up hope. I thought the producers promised him seven episodes. We are at what now? Episode 9 or 10? So I figured something must have happened. I think the show definitely needs an infusion of fresh young talent. I think Damian is the best vocalist of the bunch and so far they've done almost nothing with him. You're right Lurker, on the Glee project Samuel oozed sex from every pore. I'm looking forward to the next episode.
  6. I have found that Amazon has a much larger library of available books. Sometimes you will find that the book you want is not available in the ibook store. Amazon will usually have it. Plus I just like the kindle app better for some reason. IBoth apps are free so I have both..
  7. He is truly awesome. Sometimes he does group or party chats that are incredible.
  8. I use the WSJ app for the iPad. Works great.
  9. Just finished it. Wonderful novel! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for the recommendation. I'm starting the ERIC Larson book now, Garden of the Beasts.
  10. It's great for reading but the keyboard takes some getting used to. Some folks spring for a conventional blue tooth keyboard which makes typing easier. Some of the fancier iPad cases have bluetooth keyboards built in. Haven't tried them though.
  11. Thanks for your concerns. I'm still here and well. I am doing some traveling with only an iPad for Internet. For some reason I had difficulty logging on here with it. It's easy to browse with it but time consuming to post with it. I'll be a better boy when I return at the end of the month.
  12. I saw him preform his xmas special on one of the cable channels a few nights ago. I never saw or heard him perform until then. Now I'm hooked and I just became a fan. At least I have some good company in here and can admit to it openly... What impressed me about his live performance is how easy he makes it all look. He sings and dances his heart out but never breaks a sweat. I think he is truly talented.
  13. Hmm. I think I'll start packing my sex toys in my carry on..

  15. Is it just me...or is it getting warm in here?
  16. He's awesome! Looks like he may be part Latino? Or am I just dreaming? Asian/Latino...that would would be an incredible blend.
