For me it's Mickey's Christmas Carol (1980's version). I saw it last sunday while wrapping gifts. It got me totally in the mood for Christmas! I was so excited.

Now I just need my new fav. Christmas movie fix...Karrol's Christmas...

Although, I do enjoy Rizzo in Muppets Christmas Carol...but I could do without all the singing.

Awe sweetie, savor your time off, and we'll all be right here when you get back. It'll seem all too soon when you do get back, watch . I really hope you have a wonderful time with your family and a lovely holiday.
See ya when you get back,
Vurtgirl
P.S. Sometimes it's good to unplug. It takes some getting use to cause we're so use to having info and access to everything at the tip of our fingers, but I really think that sometimes it good to just unplug and relax. Especially you being a college student and having all that work on your hands as well. As I said, savor you time off, and we'll all be right here waiting when you get back.

So, I've only been a member here for *counts* not quite two weeks yet, and already I'm leaving. Well, we college kids get 3 1/2 weeks off for winter break, and today's my last day in the dorms. Normally I wouldn't go all for this, BUT as of right now, we don't have net access at home, which means, no more talking about LOCI with you guys.

Have a safe and happy holiday, and don't forget about me!

See ya in 2007 (unless I get lucky and my mom got the internet connected...but probably not )

What is more a classic than A Charlie Brown Christmas! Right, Peachy?

Have a great vacation at home, jordan. You won't be missing much here, at least not until the next new Goren/Eames ep. Then, you can always catch up on the discussion! Take some notes while watching so you can share your opinion & observations with us when you come back! Hope you & your family get to spend some quality time together doing fun stuff. Maybe you can talk some friends into having a VDO Day with you & visit Chelsea Pier area for a sighting! That's what I hope to do with my daughter one day over the break

Have a great vacation Jordan. You always have your meeting with VDO/KE to think about if you get CI loneseome!

Right on, Donna Lucy.

Anyone for a little Elvis?

I loves me some "Blue, Blue Christmas"...

..only one i own!
Linus and Lucy

EDIT: OOOOO - Lookee what I found!!!

You said it DonnaLucy. That's a perfect Christmas classic. That's exactly what I thought of when I was reading about this here. Of course there are many others, but I love that one mucho. I always think of the Charlie Brown tree whenever I see any trees that are kinda slim, or deadish, and during my favorite holiday, Halloween, it's the Charlie Brown great pumkin patch I think of.

We will miss you! But we will all be here when you get back. Have a happy holiday and healthy new year and don't forget to watch the new LOCI epis so you will be ready to post like a demon when you're back at the dorm.

And for someone who's only been with us two weeks, you've brought us a lot of joy, jordanriver!! Your close encounters with VDO and KE have been awesome to read (and see!). See you in January!

I'm loving the 3FM link in your sig... I found this site from Portugal not long ago: Radios Cotonete

God, I am sooooo olllddddd. I don't know any of this d*mn fine music. It's the first sensibility to harden, you know, music appreciation. Somewhere in one's thirties, time freezes on the music front....
Ah well, here is a bit of Noel-y music for you all. Many of you know the Jacquie Lawson cards, but I'm sending this one with special affection for everyone here. Hope the link works.

Thank you! That was beautiful! And Happy Holidays to you as well, bwalter.

Wow, b - That is just a fabulously beautiful card; aurally and visually!!!! (again - smilies suck; combination of faces don't match the one!) Just so sweet; hopefully I can save it... I've actually not seen any of these before.

Hoping you have a Merry Christmas in the land of the 'roo!!

What a beautiful card, bwalter! Thank you for the link. Much nicer than the free E cards I send from Hallmark. Also beautiful is the thought - wanting to share seasons greetings with us

I must be old too, since the only name I recognized was Counting Crows. My kids are into rap & hip hop, like Ludacriss, Nelly, etc.. There's a radio station popular on Long island called WBLI that has a great mix of current music of all genres. We can put it on in the car & please everyone in the family.

A Wonderful Christmas to all of my friends here on the NBC Board! Stay safe. Hope your holidays are filled with love & laughter.

That card is positively gorgeous, bwalter! Thank you so much and Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah/Happy New Year etc. etc. to everyone on the boards.

Bring your pictures with you and relive the moments!!! But don't forget to have some fun with your Mom and family and friends!

We will be here when you get back and eager to hear your thoughts on the new epi.

Thankyou so much bwalter. That was a wonderful card, and your words are so sweet. This is why this board is so inviting and wonderful, cause of thoughtful, sweet, intelligent people like you.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone,

No.

I'm not proud.


But Now - You can work just as hard to be as equally stupid with a quick trip to: South Park Studio!!!



*eat snacky smores*

But you should be. The hair, the suit, the tie - so very Season 2, so classically Goren. And look! No effing tie clip! Okay, the girth is Season 5, but still....

*sniff*




...well.....ya knah....


(it's 11:34 - I should probably, actually, think about possibly kinda doing some work, maybe?)

Seraph!!

Hi, Seraph


You know, I've never bothered to do one of me... Started to a couple of times. Quick question; Have you had a chance to check out the music links already? I was waiting for you before killing the ones to my personal storage files...

Planearium.de

I already did this once but I can`t seem to find my SP self on my old computer anywhere

I have a few on my computer, haven`t had the time to listen to them, though I know a few of the artists . You`re more the britpop (either actually British, or just something that is similar) type right? Me too! The links to Dutch music I gave you were not a very good representation of all the bands we have of course ;-).

Yeah...Hummm? I guess that would be an accurate assessment; excusing the Cocteau's - they've their own musical category that the Sugarcubes kind of step toe toward a bit, imo. Well.. You know... Accurate as long as we're not talking Kylie Minogue or Robbie Williams-like homicide inducing brit pop!!!! Now, that'd be a blow to the heart... (yeeeah - Oh La La throws a well-produced glance in Kylie's general direction, but nothing more! ) Then there's stuff from your Tool, White Zombie and other such folks; then Pink and other close held randoms... Not quite sure where Tori would fall?(No Stonings, please!!!!)

I'll kill the links from me now, then (TV on the Radio, Goldfrapp and Cocteau Twins). The others are from You Tube...

EDIT: Ooo sh't! MAAAAAAJOR EDIT, when attempting shorthand above, I forgot there's that chick out there going by the name of Pink... I, OF COURSE, meant Pink Floyd!!!

Hehehe . Na, Pink Floyd and all the related things are not my thing per se, it`s a song by song basis for me with those bands.

And not a baaaaad word about Robbie Williams please . But I can see why you don`t like him, although I am curious how well known he is in the States, considering he was a nothing over there 2,5 years ago. Oh, and obviously he does NOT qualify as britpop .

Hummmm - I see! *pulls out notepad...under Gerard Way: "Robbie Williams - No touchy"*

Nah, he's not really known here at all outside of random tabloid show mentions if he's on a simulcasts of European awards show or something - or, unless you're talking about people like me, who have an odd mix of older memory retention. It was around 5 - 6 yrs ago that he had his highest profile when MTV was trying to push him to people here by having him on their shows and playing that CGI video where he rips off his skin and muscles. Actually, the timing I'm not sure of - whenever it was that we were running screaming from all things Spice Girls???

Seemed a pretty funny guy, though, in interviews I'd seen....

`
Yeah, that`s quite a canyon then, he`s huge here .

Anyway, I was just on the radio here .

Wait a minute - I just reread that more clearly: You were ON the radio? Did ya win something or was it just a shout out thing??!? (which is still pretty coo..)

Hehe, I didn`t win anything. It`s just that we`ve been listening to this radio station for two weeks with the other people on a forum and since the chart that we were listening to finished at 6 that night, we needed rehab from the excitement and all the extremely good songs. It just so happens that one of the DJ`s and the producer are also on that forum an check in every now and then when they are on the air, and that DJ was on that night after 6 with his own show. Anyway, lots of jokes about the immenent (is that how you spell it?) hanging of Saddam and on the forum the suggestion came to request Hanging by a Moment from Lifehouse. End of the show they took some requests and I ended up being the one texting the suggestion to the show because all the smart other nerds were still debating who was gonna call in. They called me back and voila, I was on the air .

And yeah, that`s the abbreviated version of the story . Too bad you don`t speak Dutch, `cause I have a link ;-).

Happy New Year everyone!!!

Wanted to take this opportunity to wish everyone here on this fabulous board a safe, healthy & properous Happy New Year.

And a heartfelt THANK YOU to each & every one of you who post here & are kind enough to answer my posts with interest & respect. You have made this board a fun & satisfying experience for me - an outlet for my VDO & CI interest (to put it mildly!)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hope everyone's new years was good, much better than mine. I was sick and so were some of my friends, we tried to do stuff but there's only so much you can do with a fever. After a day out, I had to come back b/c i felt like crap. So all i did once i got home was pop in my new S3 dvd's of CI and just watched them the rest of the night until i fell asleep...which was okay by me.

this song just went off on the webstream i listen to... was kind of fun bopping and singing along...

throwing it in here for the h'll of it... close to me

NBC Universal Pulls Plug on 'Mullally'

By Chris Pursell
The first syndication casualty of the season got the axe Wednesday, as NBC Universal informed staff of "The Megan Mullally Show" that the series was being cancelled.

Production is being shut down immediately and airings of the first-run talk show strip will continue through the end of January in both originals and repeats. The series has been averaging a 0.8 rating this season, tying it for last among all series in the genre.

In a statement, NBCU wrote "We are very proud of the hard work and effort that our staff put into the production of this show. And our host, Megan Mullally, is truly one of the most talented people in our business. We are grateful to have partnered with her on the show and are appreciative for her tireless commitment, effort and dedication to this endeavor."

Executives at the distributor will be working with stations to find potential programming solutions to fill the hole left by "Megan's" departure.

c'mon... admit it.... you were hoping as much as I was that they could beg, plead and cry Vincent into going on that show to pull in ratings, seeing it was new...

The dream: She is dead.

Happy New Year to you too, sweets, and Happy New Year to everyone!
I wonder has anyone made any New Year's Resolutions? Do tell.
Mine is, of course, to fight like **** to get my back, back, and to quit smoking. (Though I don't smoke too much, it's still too much, if you know what I mean.) Plus I have more, but those are the main ones.
Vurtgirl

I had the weirdest dream last night, lmao. If any of you remember my account of meeting VDO and KE on 12/12, you may remember that I said VDO kept staring at me, and I was wonderin' if it was cuz I was black. Then I had this weird arse dream last night. I was watching LOCI, and G & E were at my old house in Queens, the one my dad owns, where I grew up (without him). My dad's "character" is a suspect in the show! And as I was watching the episode I was thinking "Holy crap my dad's on Criminal Intent!!!" lmao Then I thought, "So THAT'S probably why Vincent was staring at me! I look like my dad and my dad was on his show, so I look familar to him!!!" When I woke up, I just

I just thought that was funny. Of course, in real life my dad has NEVER acted in anything, so yeah...that's probably NOT why VDO kept lookin' at me, lol...

Oh yeah...I'm back, lol HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Maybe you had a glob of food stuck your face.

Oooh! I think I hear jealousy creeping in! D@mn!

Jordan, hon, I've got some bandages for you right over here.

weird dream...

i had a dream about them once. Since it was a dream i dont really remember it that well and it didnt make sence at all. Eames was my mom and Goren was my dad. Eames got mad a Goren and left my house (THEY WERE IN MY HOUSE!) then i went outside to go get mom/eames and my friends drove in the driveway. thats all i remember. i thought it was so cool that i had a dream about them! anyways it was cool and i feel special.

You know when something or someone is really on your mind when you star them in your dreams
I, too, had a weird dream a few days ago featuring VDO. In it, he & Erbe had re-scheduled another DVD signing. I was in some warehouse working (weird?) & all of a sudden I check my watch & the signing was almost over. I run outside & I'm near a beach & all these people are milling around, but no one knew where the signing was. It goes on like this, then I woke up

Actually, I really came here to post a comment about the Wikipedia update on VDO's marital status. Our good moderator closed the topic, but can that stop me?

Just wanted to post my mixed feelings about this news. Of course, I am happy that Vincent is not living the life of his character & has a wife & family around him. Being an estranged husband & father is no fun & I'm sure he was very unhappy with that situation. Hence, the reconciliation

But, I am a liiitttlee jealous Now I can't fantasize about VDO anymore. I mean, he IS a married man!

One thing I found was an article saying that he and Carin were back together for the sake of their son.....because he is so young ...I don't know what's true.....Except that MY crush (KE) is happily married lol
if he's married, ladies, look at it this way.........his first didn't last....so odds aren't good for the second...
but, whatever makes him happy....
Oh...from another article, he told the reporter that he is writing a western......he wouldn't give anymore info than that
http://www.go-brooklyn.com/html/issues/_vo...6/donofrio.html

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qi...29091109AAz4WGn

the two links I got my info from
again, who really knows except VDO?

if he's lookin in here he proabably gets a kick out of some of our comments.

out oor more not so serious we know we can't date him either way playful droolings .

We all no either way we could'nt have him . and he's got to know we're just playfully dreaming all about him . hehee

Your "crush" (KE) is either separated or divorced, according to rumor.

She made a comment in a recent interview (spring or summer 2006) that it was hard being a "single parent" in this business. She was referring to herself in the interview.

She & her husband Terry may have reconciled since then, who knows?

Hey DonnaLucy girlfriend , I only closed that thread -- I never said it couldn't be discussed elsewhere. Be my guest, as long as we all stay nice and respectful of each other (and VDO). I don't know if you saw my follow-up post in that thread. Read it if you get a chance as I do not plan to comment on it anywhere else.

Have a nice night all.

rowe

I thought I saw a pic of her and hubby...maybe it was old....but I'd be happy to be her babysitter....
All us "normal" people can do is dream, speculate, and hope we get the right info....but, it gives us something to do in our off time lol
Question:
How do you find out when NBC is holding DVD signings?
Do they send out a newsletter or something? Cause I would seriously think of making a road trip to get to see KE

I posted my CI dream on here somewhere. not sure if its in this thread or another one.

Yeah, I'm notorious among my friends for having celebrities in my dreams, even people I don't like or movies i've never seen. One time i read an article about ER, back in high school (I had never seen the show back then) and it mentioned George Clooney. I had only seen his picture in the magazine and on ads on tv...but sure enough he was in my dream, slinging pizzas of all things...

Hopefully my next celebrity guest appearance in my dreams will be VDO again. I enjoyed it.

Rowe,
I did read your follow-up & was so glad to read how thoroughly you researched this information prior to accepting the post from the Wikipedia representative. I totally trust your judgment on this & all things pertaining to our board. Of course, I am curious as to the identity of the D'Onofrio spokesperson, but totally understand why you can't reveal this info.

All kidding aside, I believe I speak for everyone here that we all highly respect VDO's privacy & wish him nothing but a happy life, which has to include him being with those that he loves:his family

This reconciliation probably explains his recent weight loss & him looking so rested & content over the summer & at the DVD signing.

If anyone who knows VDO reads this board for any reason, tell Vincent that we all love him & wish him all the best!

Thanks again, Rowe, for doing such a wonderful job We are the ones who are proud to have YOU!

Hello, everybody!

I'm here to talk about this supposed reconciliation. Could anyone name this so-called spokesperson? Why all the secrecy? It doesn't look like there's a reliable source behind it, but it does look like someone could be imagining or wishing it's true ("If you believe in something long enough, you just naturally come to think it's true"). Please only believe what you hear straight from D'Onofrio's mouth.

Thank you.
