Adoption Update
I know the adoption updates have been scarce lately. There just isn't anything to report.
There are a few things that Mrs Bot and I need to do, get fongerprints taken, get up to date on CPR, but right now it's really just waiting
I want to thank everyone who has helped me out through all of this, financial and emotionally. You have all been a big help and I appreciate all that you have done for me.
It's gratifying to know that when it comes down to it, politics and differences aside, that you can count on your fellow man to lend a hand

I keep on catching this movie when it's on TV. One that came out after Columbine that I actually liked.

We all make a difference
Even as I work on the adoption for what may be purely selfish reasons, there are people who could use our help. Please make a donation. Even $5 will make a difference.

Mrs Bot has decided to start blogging. WHich is funny for several reasons.
1) She won't tell me where it is, I assume she says bad things about me. I don't know why that would stop her since she says those in real life too
2) She only has one reader, a friend of hers from work, and that's the way she wants it. I pointed out that's really just a diary and she may as well jsut tell her but that's what she wnats to do.
3) She did this after she read my journal here, but before she found eb, so in retailation, I'm not telling here where eb is. WHich is funny, because it's really easy to find.
4) In retaliation I'm also not going to look for it. She likeks little secret compartments in her life.

We're still waiting for the final approval of the home study but I'm in good spirits about that.
In other news we got our first, and very generous, donation to the adoption fund. A hearty thank you and tail wag goes out. I'm going to leave it anonymous for now until I find out from the person who gave if they'd like to keep it private or not.

A Picture Share!
It isn't possible to go on any trip longer than 15 minutes with my wife or her family without stopping for ice cream. This has always struck me as cruel since I can't eat it but they always ask me if I want some .
A Picture Share!
Mrs. Bot hides from the camera on the start of the trip. I won't have computer access for a few days but if you want to send me HAPPY thoughts you can get my number from fuzzy and text me. Check six, beagle out.

TV offers 'instant' reruns - on DVD | csmonitor.com
Studios are using the popular format to introduce TV shows to viewers who missed them first time around.
During the summer hiatus on new network TV comedies or dramas, it's easier than ever to choose your own reruns. That's because TV shows are booming on the DVD market.
Every week, new and old shows roll out on shiny discs as studios open their vaults and production houses put the finishing touches on recent series. Shelves at DVD outlets now include everything from Lucille Ball sitcoms and "The Cosby Show" to "Roseanne" and "Law & Order."
But the market isn't just catering to viewers feeling nostalgic about "Hogan's Heroes" or "Knight Rider." Television studios are also rushing current TV series onto DVD in a bid to snag new viewers. NBC's "The Office," which arrives on DVD on Aug. 16, was a modest critical hit but the quirky comedy only ran six episodes and failed to find a sizeable audience. The network is hoping the DVD release will help the show as it heads into its sophomore season this fall.
TV executives have good reason for believing such strategies can pay off. In contrast to the feature-film market for DVDs, which has slowed to a 1 percent growth rate, the public appetite for TV programming in a box has exploded. According to industry trade magazine Variety, sales of TV titles on DVD hit nearly $3 billion in 2004 - a massive increase from the $160 million sales in 2000.
"The DVD market is critical for TV shows now," says Marc Berman, the Programming Insider columnist at Mediaweek.com. "Everybody's releasing them as soon as they can and consumers are buying them for all the obvious reasons - they don't have to sit through the commercials, the quality is digital so it's great, and they can watch their favorite shows all the way through to the end of the season. They don't have to wait."
These DVDs have all the elements of the feature-film DVD and then some, says Ben Silverman, an executive producer of "The Office." "Fans of the show know that they have more [bonuses] to look forward to, and newcomers to the show know that their time isn't wasted if they watch the show and like it, because hopefully the show will still be on the air."
As scripted shows lose more time to ads, the extra space on a DVD becomes even more valuable, says fellow executive producer Greg Daniels. "The Office" is a comedy that relies heavily on the improvisation of the stars, says Mr. Daniels. Much of the actors' additional material had to be cut from the broadcast shows, but will be included on the DVD. "The great thing is to be able to have the audience quickly see all the fun, extra stuff that they did," says Daniels.
In the case of NBC's "Las Vegas," a drama set in a casino, the DVD-release extras include racy, unrated material not suitable for network broadcast.
Releasing a show on DVD is now a key programming strategy for TV executives. "They're an incredibly profitable business for us," says David Janollari, president of entertainment at the WB network. "They actually help to perpetuate awareness and publicity for a series as it's on our air."
DVD sales benefit the programs beyond helping to build new audiences, says Garth Ancier, WB chairman. "This is helping the shows become more profitable and allowing producers to put more money on the screen."
Few consumers have bought digital or high-definition televisions, so the pristine quality of DVD is a clear draw. But that doesn't fully account for the popularity of TV series on the format. Some observers believe that sales of TV titles are outpacing those of movies because the highest-quality storytelling in Hollywood has gravitated to television.
"The writing that's happening is vastly superior to what you're seeing in the theaters," says an industry insider who calls himself simply McG.
He sees "a real renaissance" taking place in TV. "Television is in a fantastically healthy place," says McG, who directed the movie "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle." "There's always going to be ridiculous shows and shows that are going to be weeded out, but there are a great many shows that are rising to the top."
Since both new and old shows are fueling DVD sales, industry observers say the trend has the poignant benefit of reviving the "careers" of television pioneers, many of whom are no longer around.
"We're seeing the younger generation suddenly developing appreciation for all kinds of old-timers, from Milton Berle to Lucille Ball and Sid Caesar," says Richard Askin, chairman of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
"It started with TV Land and all these rerun networks, but now that kids can watch these shows on their own time and as often as they want, suddenly these people like Lucy are getting a whole new appreciation and new fans."

On trying to explain film festivals to Mrs Bot
Mrs Bot What? All this time I've been holding out for your group to get famous and go to Sundance
Beagle: You know sundance is artsy and they do artsy fartsy things there right?
Mrs Bot; which means threesomes right?
Beagle: No
Mrs Bot *stops dvd player*
Mrs Bot: Hold on. That is not what I was picturing. I wanted hot threesomes and I figured it happened at Sundance
Later:
Mrs Bot: So what is artsy stuff if it's not threesomes?
Beagle: You know sundance is artsy and they do artsy fartsy things there right?
Mrs Bot; which means threesomes right?
Beagle: No
Mrs Bot *stops dvd player*
Mrs Bot: Hold on. That is not what I was picturing. I wanted hot threesomes and I figured it happened at Sundance

Micro Film
I am uninspired these days. I have't picked up the camera I have access to once since the Fourth of July. I haven't even looked at a my script to work on it. I need someone outside of my group to get me going since all of my energy in it is used up in keeping the peace and keeping other projects going.
So here is what I nee from you dear reader: One minute movies. Write something that ideally is only one character and requires no special set and I'll film it.
I have no ideas right now and am losing m passion for doing anything out of frustration. Throw a dog a bone.

Road Trip!
Today I'm going to St. Louis to pick up a car for work. With any luck a) Something cool will happen b) My friend will let me take pictures and not just hide.
Check back today to find out the answers to both of those.

Vet to the Power of Five
Today we too all of the animals to get their shots. Three dogs, two cats, in a small, but public, area. It went better than I thought. No fights and the vet was teh fastest person with a needle I have ever seen. Even my scaredy cat 90 pound mutt was done in seconds.
Weekends End
This is only the second weekend that I've been scheduled off and alreay I've decided that the weekend is too short.

Home Study Steak
Our home study today went okay I think. More on that later when I've had time to process it.
I did find out today that Devon Aoki is heiress to the Benihanna chain. IS it wrong to want someone because of their access to meat?

Breaking things, making things
OK, I think I have a proper RSS feed setup, I need to get with d* and try it out under a different feed.
In the process of doing that I've somehow broken my little about me box. Hmm
Check out the favicon.

Lost
This morning leaves me wondering if it would be best to get divorced. We've gone in very different directions with our lives and I think I may have been kidding myself all this time that things were changing in ways thatI wanted. I feel very small and very alone.

Work Weak
And so my work week is about to begin. I may have a regular schedule now which is good and bad. It's good because it shoulod help me sleep some and it will let e plan on doinfg things on the weekends. It's bad because I've had my week split up and rearranged for so long that it is what I'm used to. In addition it seems that I miss the majority of people that I want to talk to online.
***
The heat here is still bearable only because at night it's dropping down to the 80's. Part of my job still requires being outside in it, but only for short periods.
***
I'm vowing to drink no Coke or other soda this week. I made a big jug of tea to take to work. I'm afraid the caffiene is starting to get to my heart. I'm figuring the tea has less and will stall off any headaches.

News of the Glass Teat
I'm glad that I decided to go ahead and record and save the shows that I was watching this last season. It seems that at least one of them didn't make it
Committted has been canceled. It was a fun quirky little show.
Grey's Anatomy I can't seem to figure out if it has been cancelled or not. I need to dig so more
Medium got picked back up
And I heard a rumor that they are making new episodes of Dead Like Me but I'm not holding my breath.

Home Study
We're cleaning the house now getting ready for the home study for adoption. It seems like it's taken forever to get here and now it's going to happen this coming Saturday and I feel like we don't have anything done.

New Old TV
I collect old television sets. It's an odd hobby. I've played at restoring them and have managed with a few but with some it's hard due to the test equipment required and the need to be creative in replacing bad parts. Here's the best of a set of three that I got yesterday. The other two being a console that I'll be giving to someone as decoration for a room after I gut it for parts and one that's probably early fifties given the controls and the size of the tube

Tired Little Puppy Dogs
We had a dog guest over the weekend. Finally found his owners. My old, fat pups were no mach for his teenage pup energy though. He wore them all out. The third one has been hiding in his corner sleeping all day. Nobody wanted to get up to eat so we just gave the poor things their bowls where they were.

In the can
Today my group will be getting the final pickup shots for our current short movie project. I have mixed feelings about this. I'm happy that we're moving along but unhappy that I now have a month and a half of rushing to get it down when I don't know what I'm soing with a program I don't understand.
