001- Brian Regan: Standing Up


Stand-up comedian Brian Regan offers his unique take on the absurd aspects of everyday life in this hilarious Comedy Central concert. With offbeat originality, Regan riffs on flight delays, greeting cards, baby books, entertaining his 3-year-old daughter and more. A regular on both the "Late Show with David Letterman" and "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," Regan delights a standing-room-only audience at the Barclay Theatre in Irvine, Calif.

002- The Kite Runner


Years after fleeing the Taliban and immigrating to the United States, an Afghan man (Khalid Abdalla) returns to his war-ravaged homeland to try to repay his debt to a childhood friend whose trust he betrayed. Marc Forster (Finding Neverland, Monster's Ball) directs this touching story of family, friendship and bravery, based on the best-selling novel by Khaled Hosseini.

003- Made of Honor


Happy-go-lucky playboy Tom (Patrick Dempsey) finally decides to propose to his best friend, Hannah (Michelle Monaghan), when she returns from a trip. But when she gets home, she announces that she's engaged … and asks Tom to be in the wedding. Can Tom work his way back into her heart before it's too late? Directed by Paul Weiland, this whimsical comedy also features Sydney Pollack and Kadeem Hardison.

004- Recount


This made-for-TV, Emmy-winning film chronicles the extraordinary behind-the-scenes drama that unfolded in the weeks following the highly controversial 2000 election -- a presidential race that further split an already divided America. With the country's leadership hanging in the balance after the closest vote in history, the battle between George W. Bush and Al Gore would come down a hotly contested vote count in Florida. Kevin Spacey and Laura Dern star.

005- December Boys


Daniel Radcliffe (of Harry Potter fame) stars in this drama set in the Australian outback during the 1960s. After living together for years at a Catholic orphanage, four teenage boys all born in December must face the likelihood of not being adopted. But while on vacation at a seaside resort, the boys become rivals as they compete for the affections of two prospective parents, a situation that ultimately teaches them the true meaning of family.

006- Things We Lost in the Fire


Attempting to piece her life back together after losing her husband (David Duchovny) in a tragic incident, grieving widow Audrey (Halle Berry) turns to an unlikely ally: her husband's childhood friend Jerry (Benicio Del Toro), an emotionally wrecked heroin addict. As the troubled two struggle to bear their heavy respective burdens, by leaning on each other, they discover they possess unexpected resources in this moving drama.

About Me:
I have two featherbabies, Gosha and Kita. I was in Syktyvkar, Russia in the 1990's. Once was in February, the other time was in June. I used to speak a little conversational Russian but not much anymore. I got Gosha when I returned from my first trip. That explains the Russian names for my parrots. My greatest passion is teaching science. I enjoy gardening, pool aquatics (not laps but using a flotation belt), basking in the sun and eating my husband's fabulous BBQ ribs.

I hope to go this coming weekend also.... oh the beauty of those birds!! Unbelievable!!

Hi birdy - I would wait for Disc 1 because it is told in a progression. You may not have screwed up because Netflix has screwed me with that before by skipping the first and sending me the second or third. When ever I order multiple disc things I put the 2nd disc 3 or four slots down from the 1st. It stinks because I'd prefer to get both at the same time. That is about my only complaint with Netflix - I don't like how they handle multiple discs.

Hey Birdy08,
I don't know about how that widget works...sorry. I learn as I go! And I do think you can't send private messages to someone not on your Friends list. Good luck!

Hi again Birdy08 - I just finished watching The End Of Suburbia, and I thought it was very good. Thanks much for the rec !

If you haven't watched them already, I would urge you to check out some of the many available Noam Chomsky docs on NF too: "Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media" (1993) provides a good overview of what he is all about.

I only took the ostrich photo. The kangaroo was taken by my friend and the others are ones I got via e-mail from friends. Hey, something freaky... I am also a health-care professional (medical technologist), I love teaching science(last year I taught 10th grade Biology and eighth grade Earth Science at a private school) and I love to garden ( in fact, I am putting in two new flowerbeds in my yard and boy, it is a lot of work...thank goodness my kiddos are helping me). My husband fries shrimp, oysters, and catfish that are out of this world! I got him a turkey fryer a couple of years ago and now he uses it to fry seafood. I also love the beach. I collect shark's teeth and love to walk and watch the birds and smell the ocean air..............
