Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

Like BK, I went to bed last night thankful that none of the fires are near me. This morning I woke at 6:45 to the voices of several neighbors talking about the 405, AKA the San Diego Freeway, which is one of the major arteries here. It had been shut down due to the Getty Center/Skirball fire. That's only a few miles away and air quality has NOT been good here. One of the advantages of living in one of the lesser neighborhoods is that all our concrete deters fires.

More tossing and cleaning today. Papers pile up so quickly! It was a bit discouraging to see how old some of the papers on my kitchen table were. I didn't think it had been THAT long since I'd gone through it all.

Someone had to start all these fires - I'm hoping we find out that bit of news.

BK said that there's no birthday surprise party for him this year. But his birthday isn't until Friday. It could truly be a surprise.

My question for ASK BK DAY:

What is the difference between BMI and ASCAP and which is better?

My question for ASK BK DAY:

ASCAP is the older of the two, founded in 1914, and I am a member.  Victor Herbert and Irving Berlin were two of its founders.  Here is a photo of the group.  BMI was founded in 1940.

I have started watching Demon Seed, which I have never seen before. Good and creepy fun.

I like Demon Seed.  Saw it on its first release and always remembered it fondly.

The NY Times is reporting that WNYC has suspended famed and greatly esteemed radio host Jonathan Schwartz, but the article doesn;t seem to be clear on what kind of misconduct is involved.  Also their host, interviewer Leonard Lopate.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/06/business/media/wnyc-leonard-lopate-jonathan-schwartz.html

From the article:
"Leonard Lopate and Jonathan Schwartz, two of New York’s most popular and longest tenured radio hosts, were placed on leave by New York Public Radio on Wednesday as the company investigates allegations of inappropriate conduct."

Wow. And no one from the hip hop/rap community?
