Hello all,
OFF TOPIC APOLIGY:
Will be out quite a bit in the foreseeable future, If I try to add one additional project into my life at any given time, (with the heavy, constant effort it takes to catch-up in my business) it blows everything else out of the water. I just came off an obsessive Fall planting binge, going over the yard I have neglected for the past year. Put in 20 flats of pansies, 2 beds of perennials, two new fountains, some flagstone etc. Now I can barley walk, (sitting in front of a computer all day tends to have that effect).

Next � I have been informed by my horse partner that my presence is demanded (at least one a week) riding our 2 yr. old, to allow my rusty ability to keep pace with him while he is still at the novice level of his training in cutting. If I wait till he�s more �polished� and up to the speed he will reach eventually, �at my current riding ability, I will end up hanging in the air, after he just moved out from under me abruptly 4 feet to either side.

Then there�s Christmas around the corner,�ugh� and because my 950/new DVD player/new display, is passingly fun and impressive at it�s �bare minimum� set up �. That still leaves�speakers to hang TV bases to get ordered/built�. Etc. Things we are living with and not getting to� because the new setup is so nice as it sits. In other words I�ve stalled out. Its all Outlaw and Sony�s fault, it sounds/looks so good as is�it makes it hard when we are strapped for time, (and have X projects going at any given time) to get to the finishing the system.

ON TOPIC:
Has anyone seen Donnie Darko???
Weird ominous movie (has been suggested it�s similar to the weirdness in Mullahand Drive, which I have not rented yet).
Not scary in the traditional Halloween sense, but unsettling and riveting and a very good October rental�
I understand its out on DVD, since I just ran into 2/3�s of it on Satellite last night. I will be purchasing this disc�. Due to the ambience of the whole experience and the soundtrack which makes excellent use of some 80�s stuff.

Highly recommended for when your in that Twilight zone mode�.. It�s a movie you�ll discuss for hours with whomever you view it. I ran into some press on the cover art and catch phrases on the DVD case, don�t� let it fool you, it mentions �Final Destination��.Dark,Darker,Darko�some very misleading PR in its cover art. This movie is not what the cover implies �it�s in its own class��.

When I run into something this unique and utterly unexpected on an evening,�off satellite�with the addition of the 950 capabilities�doing its best rendition of DPL11, it is a constant gratifying surprise every time!
I never fail to be amazed.
