Watched 'The Bourne Ultimatum' in its entirety last night. I'm exhausted.
Re 'Leverage' - how can a company with some 500 employees not have at least ONE person who knows who Emma Peel and John Steed are? On the other ep, what a perfect musical selection to base the ep on. I do like me some 'Scheheradze'.
I do not, however, like my DVR right now. At least with regard to TNT. Leverage didn't record Sunday. It did last Sunday, no problem. It appeared on the recording schedule. But it didn't record. Checking it, it says it's set to record new AND old eps. I set it to record only new ones. And instead it records nothing. Meanwhile, 'Men of a Certain Age' and 'The Closer' were also set to record new eps only. The recording schedule says it's programmed to record old MOCA eps, but isn't set to record new Closer eps. WTF is going on?
Could say that about my Verizon account, too. It's refusing to recognize my user name and password. Same ones that worked fine yesterday, but it won't take them. So I tried signing on with my phone number. It says my phone number doesn't exist. That number has existed and been assigned to me/my family since 1971, thanks. Tried customer support and got a message that they were closed...at 10am ET on a Wednesday. Blast it.
Got quite pounded upon at PT last night. Last time for a couple weeks, they couldn't squeeze me in the next two, so we'll see how it goes. I do seem to have lost a couple of pounds in the meantime.
Beautiful day in the neighborhood today. 80, sunny, no humidity. Ah, sweet paradise...

They seemed to be reaching out to me saying "help me Fitzjames Horse"
