Cilla! You bought the book!!! Oh, how very nice of you! Yep, every once in awhile, someone buys a copy off Amazon or Barnes and Noble.com. It's always such a welcome surprise! PS - another of my 2nd amendment bud's says you should go to NRA.org, re: your elderly "gun nut who reads books" case. Frequently, they will have their legal dept do research for you, and write amicus briefs, sometimes they have the Big Guns (you should pardon the expression) call you with research/funding.

I have been told that there is an NRA lawyer already interested, but I haven't heard from anyone yet.  Thanks for the support.

AND I'll be reading from my book and, hopefully, signing copies they will have purchased, AND I'll be collecting private clients for after the class, whom I'll gently nudge toward completion of their manuscripts, poetry, movie scripts, kids' book, whatever - and my grant ap to the Arts Commission asked for funding to pay for up to two hours of my private time with up to six individual students... so we'll see whose dream i can set a fire under! I LOVE THIS!!

I see we've passed the crucial point, so I'm off to bed.  Is anyone watching this Showtime series BROTHERHOOD besides me?   It's sort of an Irish SOPRANOS set in Providence, Rhode Island, and the cast is quite wonderful.  It's certainly more focused than THE SOPRANOS, which I love, and I'm becoming quite addicted to it.

I am not sure yet.  When the school calender comes out I will see what her schedule is... if possible I plan to take a day and come in and see you whether or not she is with me.  What are the exact days you will be there so I can mark my calendar?l

Richard and I arrive on Monday, October 2; Jane arrives on Tuesday or Wednesday (I think); and Cillaliz and her nephew late Wednesday afternoon.  We're all staying until the weekend, I think.  Richard and I fly out late Sunday afternoon.  Is MBarnum coming in for this trip?

COmpleted THE AVIATOR. I do love the sequence with Hughes pulling himself together and making his case at the hearings. A triumphant moment for him, and important for the viewer knowing as we do how sadly he ended up.

Next came THANK YOU, MR. MOTO. I didn't like it as much as the first MOTO, and I didn't think the transfer was quite as good for this one too - grainier and not quite as sharp.

Also, the movie really wasn't much of a mystery, more of a crime drama.

I had the DVR set to record DEADWOOD while I watched GREY'S ANATOMY, but ABC showed the pilot tonight, and I had no interest in seeing it again so soon after just seeing it when it was shown on Thursday night about a month ago. Disappointing.

So, I flipped back to DEADWOOD, stopped the DVR from recording it, and sat riveted by the tense doings on this episode. Oh, the upcoming face-off between Hurst's factions against the rest of the camp has really built uip tension to the breaking point. It has been hard for me to sit still due to the escalating violence going on for these past few weeks.

Terrific drama.

ENTOURAGE had some fun sequences with Martin Landau playing a fabled Hollywood producer who lives with his memories, but who pulls out of his hat a surprise script that interests our main character. Nice episode.

RENO 911 had some good laughs tonight. My favorite sequence involved a singing preacher who's actually a dope dealer. SOme of the tunes did have me laughing.

And since SOUTH PARK was repeating the Mel Gibson-PASSION OF THE CHRIST episode "The Passion of the Jew" which I never saw, I watched it. Very wicked jabs at Mel Gibson that made me laugh a lot.

The DVR is recording the Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie MR & MRS. SMITH tonight on HBO-HD, so I'll probably watch that tomorrow. I didn't see it at the theater nor did I rent/buy the DVD. Should be interesting to finally get to see it.

It's not past midnight here...........in fact it is barely past 9:00, but my pupick is pooped for today, and I ain't gonna fight it.  So I'm going to fall over early and collapse.  (Jesus, maybe I can start eating dinner at 4:00 and then go to bed at 7:30 !! )

My name is my initials and yes, I drive a small german car. It's my baby. A 76 gold beetle.

What a coinkydink!  I used to have a '76 orange Super Beetle!  I loved that car, but it died a slow death. :'( Fortunately, I wasn't stuck somewhere out in the middle of nowhere.  It just wouldn't start up anymore.
