Well...  I just took the last tray/sheet of cookies out of the oven...

-And I've just realized that all I've had to eat today is a bowl of chicken soup and cookies.  Five different types of cookies.  But one did have an apricot filling, and one had lemon curd.  So, I guess those could count as a fruit.  ;)

vixmom, I didn't hit the guy from the rear, I hit clipped his car on the driver's side, just towards the back of the car rather than the front, which is why I think there probably wasn't all that much damage to his car.

1. Is there a way to advertise for anyone who saw the accident to come forward immediately? The longer time passes, the more anyone who saw it will forget what happened, and you'll have no third party confirmation.

2. If she hasn't done so already, your friend should write down exactly what happened in her own words. Again, the longer time passes, she may forget details.

3.  THe fact that he passed you and you clipped him in the rear may make folks wonder why you didn't see him while he was T-shaped with you, and stamp on your brakes. Going too fast, they'll say.

Robert Lowery was Batman!!!

In the serial, right? 

In CAINE MUTINY COURT-MARTIAL, Lowery played the role that Fred MacMurray did in the movie.

Kee-rect.....driving around a 1949 Mercury convertible as the Bat Mobile and dancer Johnny Duncan as Robin.



I have both BATMAN serials on DVD. They're very dated, of course, and not all that exciting, but I wouldn't want to be without them.

When I turned on cable to check to make sure I wasn't missing anything I wanted to record tonight, I noticed TNT-HD was showing THE WIZARD OF OZ in HD. Since I've never seen it in HD, and the Blu-ray is coming out next year, I thought I'd get a sneak preview at what it would look like. Quite wonderful, of course. I didn't make it all the way to the end. There were just too many commercials for me to stand. But it did look as wonderful as THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD in HD, so I'm sure it'll be stunning when the Blu-ray comes out.

When I finally turned that off, I put on THE DARK KNIGHT and watched it again. I did catch quite a few plot points I missed the first time around, and things tied together a lot better for me. The Joker pulls so many jobs in the movie; I guess once they saw that Heath Ledger's Joker was so memorable that they wanted him involved in as many jobs as possible.

I didn't have the PIP "Focus Points" turned on during the movie, so I watched about a half dozen of them after I finished the film. All interesting mini-documentaries about different aspects of the production. I'm sure over the years I'll manage to get to all of them, but I like saving many of them for a later time.

I haven't looked at the second disc at all, so I have no idea what's on that disc.

HE was going too fast.  I was going about ten miles per hour.  Yes, my passenger and I have the same exact story because we both saw the same exact thing.  This creep came out of NOWHERE.

Had I been going faster than that there would have been a hell of a lot more damage to the front of my car - there was virtually none other than the bumper getting scuffed up.  No headlights broken, no metal twisted, nada.

HAPPY CHANUKAH, and thank you for the Chanukah wishes.  I just realized it is dark & while I have been eating Chanukah cookies we have not lit the menorah.  I had better do that before the Tom & Jerry's leave me on the floor giggling my heart out ;)

I thought it was Hanukkah this year, not Chanukah. 

I'm confused.

Evening web surf now completed, so I'm going to head down to bed. This will be the first night in a week that I'll need all the covers on the bed to stay warm. Yes, it's much colder here tonight. Just like December ought to be!

Good night!

Since DR Jose has inspired me, I just might find some time tomorrow to bake some cookies.  Nothing fancy--just a batch of peanut butter chocolate chip.  Too bad I didn't make my world famous rum balls this year.

Congratulations to Mr Brockman Jnr and Fiance and of course to the Senior Brockman family.

What a joyful Yuletide is is turning out to be.

And what a wonder is DR Vixmom.

I've watched a motion picture I TIVOd, I've watched the first episode of Mannix, Season Two, and I'm trying to watch Latitude Zero, a Japanese film with a few American actors - I started with the Japanese version, but I'm going to switch to the American because it's quite unnerving to hear Joseph Cotton speaking in Japanese.

Spent this evening wrapping gifts while watching a batch of Christmas episodes of THE ADVENTURES OF OZZIE AND HARRIET that I Tivo'ed from our local PBS channel last night.  I got a lot of wrapping done since the adventures of Ozzie and Harriet didn't exactly demand my full attention (though I did look up long enough to notice that Tracey Nelson grew up to look exactly like her mother.)

I'm getting tired.  I'm saving Lattitude Zero for tomorrow and will now watch another episode of Mannix, and maybe the special features on the new Casino Royale (60s version) special edition.

I made a fantastic batch of molasses cookies this evening.  They were so good looking (and tasty!) that i had to take a picture to share.

Very nice, DR Ann!

*I'd take pictures of the cookies I made tonight, but I'm sick of seeing them - even though they taste great.  And, I've already boxed up a bunch of them for distribution tomorrow. ;)
