Then I watched tonight's NCIS. A very easy mystery to solve once all the evidence was revealed. More interesting was Abby's Mexican investigation and where that's going to lead as we near the end of the season.

Then I watched tonight's GLEE. Some nice numbers and some touching drama with Kurt and his dad. Kurt had two radically different songs and did well with both. The "One Love" finale was nicely done, but for the first time, I felt their rendition couldn't hold a candle to an earlier rendition: Adam Lambert did stupendously with the song on AMERICAN IDOL last season.

Dinner was good. But beforehand we had a small scare.

The restaurant we went to is attached to a dollar store.  My mom and i went in there. She was looking for some bags. I left her there and went to the scrapbooking section. Then all of a sudden she comes over and says she cannot find her purse.

So i tell her to stay at the front of the store (to make sure nobody leaves with it).

I run and tell someone who works there and her and i run through the aisles.  But luckily I suspected that my mom had left her purse near the bags she was looking at.

And sure enough she must have taken down a handful of bags. Because her purse was hanging on the back of the rack. Whew!

This is an old family recipe and has lots of raisins in it!

I didn't get any of those MGM Blu-rays today (now I'm not sure they'll even send them). If THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN box set (four films) doesn't show up tomorrow, I'll go ahead and begin working on the single package entries of those Mel Brooks comedies: HIGH ANXIETY, HISTORY OF THE WORLD, and ROBIN HOOD: MEN IN TIGHTS. I've already covered them in the MEL BROOKS COLLECTION set, but I'll check them out to make sure they are no different from the discs in that box set.

Today on my train ride in, I finished Neil Gaiman's AMERICAN GODS and I have to say it was a completely wonderful read!  Aside from the breakneck unfolding of the plot (it seemed to me that something happened on almost every page), I was amazed at Gaiman's ability to bring each and everyone of his huge cast of characters to such vivid life, including his main protagonist who is essentially a cipher for most of the book and yet is so charismatic that I developed a little crush on him.)  For me, there were only two lulls in the book, but that might have been a results of reading those sections after not getting enough of a good night's sleep the night before.  And I was glad that I have a healthy education in mythology--it seems that a lot of people reading the book are reporting on Twitter that they are thrown by their lack of knowledge of the various gods and god-like figures. Jeeze--didn't these people ever read a THOR comic?

I loved Anansi Boys and Graveyard Book. Willh have to check out American Gods.

I do hope you're following this up with Anansi Boys. . .

Tell me, have you read Neil Gaiman's SANDMAN series?
Have you read Good Omens?
Do you read Terry Pratchett as well?

I also really liked Gaiman's The Graveyard Book. . .

Tomorrow late afternoon/evening there is a block party on Main Street ( a different block will have one every month till the end of summer).  Hope the food vendors are yummy, and the artists on display are interesting.

Night all.

You're very welcome.  Although the scavenger hunt took up a good portion of my weekend, I mainly enjoyed the sense of accomplishment(?) I felt from getting up early and having some very full and long days.  I also had some friends in town this past weekend, and got to spend some quality one-on-one time with them.  Heck, there were even times when I didn't tweet for up to ten minutes at a time! ;)

Strange, I don't see it anywhere else

It was evacuated. I just came from Times Square. I don't know any details but I couldn't go from Broadway and 46th to Broadway and 47th due to police activity.

UGH!

Although, with the current "climate", better safe than sorry.

Holy moley on rye, I've just been dealing with yet another pressing plant screwup - this one so stupid as to just boggle the mind.  I got an e-mail this afternoon telling me someone had received their Legend of the Lost CD and the label film on the CD itself was for Last Man on Earth - a CD we haven't even pressed yet, and may never press (it was supposed to be two releases ago but we had to put a hold on it for various reasons that may or may not get worked out).  The music ON the CD is Legend of the Lost, and the rest of the packaging is fine.  So, I've made the plant repress the entire run and tomorrow they will send replacements to all the dealers overnight - that way by the time they get their shipments they'll already have the replacements ready to include.

I still remember when I purchased the March of the Falsettos/Falsettoland double-CD. The label on the first disc said March of the Falsettos, but the music was some Arabic pop artist.  -And then when I went back to Tower Records to exchange the CD, I asked them to play the "new" CD just in case it too was "wrong". And it was wrong. As were the three remaining copies on their shelves. Spoo!

Wow that is great DR Jose that you were able to travel for $10. Were there any extra charages added?  Did they give you food on the flight for that price?

I was also going to ask about extra charges.  I wish I could fly someplace for $10, extra charges or not. 

The cost of the tickets: $20.00
Taxes & Fees: $21.84
