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.

I am sorry the album producer decided to "drive the message home" in the liner notes with photos of the current administration to outline the story parallels.


Totally unnecessary.

As much as I agree with their opinion on the current political situation, I totally agree that it should not have been part of the recording.

And still nobody has posted a word about the quality of said Whistle.

I've listened to the first disc and really like it.  The parts that I miss are the boys singing the echoes and Cora's Ooos during "Me and My Town" (if that makes sense).

You've heard of the Elf on a Shelf?  (I know DR John G. has!)


Well, here's a bellini on Fellini!

That is beyond wonderful. Would you put baloney on Antonioni? Or Fran Kublik on Kubrick? Silver Bells on Orson Welles?

George did you pay to open an account with the Sno-Isle Libraries?  It seems to be a foundation.

No.  I just created an account and they sent me a library card number. :-\ Maybe the link I posted is not where I actually did it.  It was only a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't get any e-mail or information about a foundation.

I went back in and found where I had to chose a library.  I passed not even knowing where these libraries are.

Since I was only going to use the OverDrive site, I just randomly picked a branch.  I still was able to sign up with my Tumwater address.

Magoo's Christmas Carol is up soon. Three very different Christmas Carols in a row. Maybe I'll make a fourth with A Carol Christmas. So many possibilities.

Have you seen a Muppet Christmas Carol yet this year?

I don't own that one. Instead, I watched a 1935 British version on YouTube with Seymour Hicks. It's only 75 minutes long, but the shadows used and the faces were wonderful. Seymour Hicks was the star. I'll need to read up on him.

It does. It's the whole Kay Thompson effect that Sondheim was so proud of.

tonight's Johnny Cash Christmas Special is from 1978. It features then-married Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge, Steve Martin and, of course, June.

Jane, tomorrow night I'm going to La Fonda on Main, the restaurant that Keith, you and me had dinner at when you were in town.

A margarita is calling me.

DR George, wow, to your saving the library book.

Thanks!  I had to do something...I just couldn't wait at least another 8 weeks before I could get another copy from ANY of the libraries where I have online cards!  And I didn't want to pay for it. ::)

One advantage of two accounts is putting a hold on both accounts, and then I was next up for the book if I didn't finish in time, not that I needed that option very often.

Exactly!  Except that now, I have FOUR accounts from which to choose! ;)

:)

And now for something completely different...Elliot Page, star of 'Juno' and 'The Umbrella Academy,' comes out as transgender.

"I feel overwhelming gratitude for the incredible people who have supported me along this journey," Page wrote in a letter Tuesday.

Watching a wonderful Christmas movie called It Happened on 5th Avenue with Victor Moore, Charles Ruggles and a great script. Second time I've seen it and I like it better than before.

DR Matthew, are you unpacked?

Not at all.  I did get a good portion of the kitchen done after work today, until I broke a hinge and had to repair it.  But I'm hacking away at the boxes.  Hopefully by the weekend!

Hi all - another busy day.  I'm worried about the schools, rumor has it that we may close again if we get a Stay At Home mandate again.  I'm not surprised. 

Speaking of home... it's shaping up a little bit.  Trying to do as much as I can each day after work.  I really want to decorate for Christmas, but I can't until I'm settled.  I'm hoping for the weekend.  The boys love to run around in all the extra space.  I'm happy they are happy.
