Last night we watched Murder By Decree, which I hadn't seen since I watched in on VHS around thirty years ago. I remembered next to none of it except for the asylum sequence with Genevieve Bujold. It wasn't as frightening as I remembered. I liked Plummer and Mason as Holmes and Watson and the rest of the cast, but it's a dark and sad movie, given the poverty and misery of the victims and the now-debunked theory of government-sanctioned murder. As a film I liked the gaudier A Study In Terror more.

The Met offers a free 7-day trial. On day Six, July 29, I cancelled; I honestly was underwhelmed by what was available. The Met responded with an email saying they would respond within 48 hours, and this morning $14.99 was deducted from my bank account because they did not cancel in time. I just sent them an unpleasant email.

That's tempting now and then, but I, too, never quite get to where paying that money out makes sense. I'm just enjoying the free nightly stream for now.

I decided to do the laundry. While I was wrestling the full laundry cart out my door to the hall. Stella ran under the wheels and escaped. The damned cat is now somewhere in the building, so I went ahead and put the laundry into the washers. Now she's on the firsrt floor hiding under the stairs and I cannot get to her. I worry there might be roach or rat poson under there. Shit.

Just before I went down to the basement to do another load of laundry, I decided to look for Stella. I got to One and I could hear her crying somewhere in the building. I went up to Two, I could hear her crying from the stairwell. I went to Three and called her. Nothing. Up to Four: she wasn't there and no sounds from her. Up to Five: not a peep. This frightened me.

I went back to One and called her. She came down the stairs and right to me. The Prodigal Cat is now home.

MR BK mentioned Roman Polanski's THE TENANT the other day. I had just watched it for the first time.

It was everything that he said.....I may watch it again.

I also watched Jacques Demy's LOLA for first time. It was very good. I then watched MODEL SHOP.....again.

Now that I have seen LOLA, I like MODEL SHOP much, much better.....but it is very sad......

When I was petting Stella, her coat felt oily and dirty, and God knows what shge might have got into, so I gave her a bath. She was neither amused nor happy with Daddy. I hope I haven't destroyed our relationship.

I just remembered the odd servant of two masters dream I had last night. I was hired to be Leonard Bernstein's assistant while he was in New York on some assignment, and he gave me three things to be photocopied, ten of each. Then I was riding in a taxi with him and John Mauceri and the drivere dropped us off in a cemetery. Then I got an offer to be in a Broadway production of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, which my friend Tripp - who stage managed the 2009 revival of Finian's Rainbow - was stage managing. Bernstein was not happy about this, and I insisted I could do both. I misplaced the three thngs to be photocopied, and I was looking for them when I woke.

The eye of round steak turned out okay. I baked them with some baby potatoes - I put in a can of vegetable soup for flavoring and also added some dry steak seasoning that I saw on the shelf at the store that looked good.

It will be nice tomorrow, too.

I'm up, I'm up - got up at eleven-thirty after about seven-and-a-half hours of sleep but have been dealing with Kritzerland show stuff ever since, then went and got mail and packages - one important envelope but not THE important one, BUT - the one that was there may have been from yesterday so I suppose there's a chance that the mail for today wasn't out yet. They were pretty busy.

Not yet. I probably won't find out anything until my mom comes home. I'm leaving work in about an hour to do some shopping for them, then I'll go over there and hopefully find out something.

I hope she will soon be home.

She's coming home today. They just wanted to keep her overnight for observations.

I know but sometimes it takes a long time to get checked out of the hospital.

The Met offers a free 7-day trial. On day Six, July 29, I cancelled; I honestly was underwhelmed by what was available. The Met responded with an email saying they would respond within 48 hours, and this morning $14.99 was deducted from my bank account because they did not cancel in time. I just sent them an unpleasant email.

I've had companies do that. They receive an unpleasant email and also lose my business. Do you think they make the connection? Probably not. If asked, they'd say they set up the automatic deductions, but would have some excuse for not honoring the cancellation.

When I was petting Stella, her coat felt oily and dirty, and God knows what shge might have got into, so I gave her a bath. She was neither amused nor happy with Daddy. I hope I haven't destroyed our relationship.

I was hoping she'd associate escaping from the apartment with the displeasure of the bath and thus be reluctant to escape again. She may dislike the bath, but I think she's at risk of getting harmed by running around the building on her own. You were right to bathe her.

I was at WalMart this morning because I needed bananas and bread - but I also bought a few more things.

I used the self check-out again. So their plan has worked - I will probably use it instead of waiting in line again.....

I loathed those machines when they first came out. They weren't self-explanatory at all! After two bad experiences I wouldn't use them. But the machines at my local Ralph's have a completely different user interface now, plus one of the employees gave me quick lesson, and now I'm fine with them.

This person had something wrong with their vocal chords and in a deep loud whisper said "passing, passing". By the time we heard we were rather frightened as not having slowed down the person almost fell off of their bike stopping an inch in front of us as we turned around.

This was on a narrow sidewalk. When Keith yelled at the person to use the street, which is fairly quiet by this section of the sidewalk, the person had the gall to say it wasn't safe as the person might get hit by a car. My response was to yell what about your almost running us over us.

The little pizza and salad today were really small. I can't imagine the entire personal pizza was more than two normal-size slices. Each slice could be eaten in a single bite. So, I just had a little chicken pot pie snack - a Marie Callender's frozen thing - and it was REALLY good. Got to buy some more of those.

Actually, Hardys’ wa kind of the bastard cousin of Flagg Brothers Shoes. They were both owned by GENESCO Corp out of Nashville. Billy Joel made Flagg Bros. famous in the song “Keepin’ the Faith.”

Hardy Shoes does have one footnote in history (in addition to being my employer). Back on November 22, 1963, the manager of Hardy Shoes in Dallas, Texas called the police to report a suspicious man had just entered the theater next door without buying a ticket. As a result, 15 Dallas police officers arrived at the run-down theater and arrested Lee Harvey Oswald for not buying a 90 cent movie ticket.

George did you find the name of the shoe store I managed? It was Hardy Shoes. They were an inexpensive shoe store for men. They were in business along the time that Kinney Shoes and Thom Mcan.

I don't think I'd heard of them.

Actually, Hardys’ wa kind of the bastard cousin of Flagg Brothers Shoes. They were both owned by GENESCO Corp out of Nashville. Billy Joel made Flagg Bros. famous in the song “Keepin’ the Faith.”

Matador boots only Flagg Bros had em with the Cuban heels.....

I probably never knew what that line meant. ::)

Hardy Shoes does have one footnote in history (in addition to being my employer). Back on November 22, 1963, the manager of Hardy Shoes in Dallas, Texas called the police to report a suspicious man had just entered the theater next door without buying a ticket. As a result, 15 Dallas police officers arrived at the run-down theater and arrested Lee Harvey Oswald for not buying a 90 cent movie ticket.

So, my dad supposedly went to bed a couple of hours ago.

Well, he doesn't stay asleep...he gets up probably every hour or so to have a cigarette (not a whole one), then goes back to bed for an hour or so, then gets up to have another smoke.
