Today, I, of course, have the day off, and then some time in the (hopefully) early afternoon, my friend Shelly and I will go out to lunch together.  We haven't decided where, yet.  Then, I'll go to my mom's for some Phase 10 playing.

Speaking of Ruthless!
The first time I saw it was around 1992.
Laura Bell-Bundy, who starred as Tina was out, so we saw her understudy.

The other understudy was 10 year old Natalie Portman.
They both auditioned, but didn’t get the part, so they went on when Laura Bundy called out.
Britney was very good. Her potential was obvious, even at that young age.

Now that I've vented, Annabelle is behaving curiously this morning. Usually, after breakfast, she crawls into her Fancy Feast carton on my computer table and naps while I post. This morning, she's slouched all over the table, made several attempts to get into my cream cheese container, lay about the table everywhere except the carton, abd she finally inched her way to me where she promptly jumped into my lap before climbing up my shirt so I could hold her. Once settled, she lay in my arms and purred, chirped, and trilled quite happily.

Day 2 (of 2) vax reaction. Had a tossing and turning night that a couple of Excedrin alleviated a bit. I was actually aware of having two sore arms for the first time, even though I've done this before. Maybe it's this latest booster, as I think DR Elmore alluded to.

Well, it should be over with tonight's sleep. What's weird about side effect reactions is that you know you're not sick -- and yet you feel completely under the weather. Oy!

Given the number of stories I have read this week about Trump's rejection of any blame in election results, I think it's extremely hilarious and telling that he has ZERO capacity when it comes to "reading a room."  Republicans are abandoning him from all directions, yet he still believes himself to be the center of the universe.

I had a very odd dream last night, likely inspired by recent video footage of Nicole's impact on Florida's east coast.

I was visiting someone and went to get my car.   Oddly, there was a body of water and a road on which I had parked my car.  The road was semi-flooded, and my car wasn't where I thought I left it.

I thought I could see it a way down the road and couldn't figure out how I mistakenly parked so far away.  The closer I slogged along to get to my car, the further it seemed to be.  Suddenly, I was at the car and it was not mine at all.  Didn't even look like my car...which it had earlier appeared to be.

That begged the question of where my car actually was...and then I woke up.

Happily, my car is IN my garage and there is no local flooding.

I walked to Staples and my lovely Muslim friend Fatima in their print shop scanned it for me. I have emailed the scan to London, so that's outr of my hair. By the time I left Staples, it was raining and my legs were shot, so I got a taxi home. I made the treacherous stairs in the lobby, got to my apartment, and discovered I had lost my cell phone. I called the number on my landline, and the taxi driver answered my phone. He told me he would be to my apartment in five minutes, so I had to get the walker, get out of the building and wait for him. I literally got from the sidewalk ro the street when he pulled up and handed me my phone.

Listening to John Williams' score for The Fabelmans. I'm sure I'll enjoy the film, but there are so many coincidences here that it just makes me laugh after a while. We sent Mr. Spielberg Benjamin Kritzer back when it came out - nothing. Then twenty years later he makes a film about his childhood and gives the character based on his mother my mother's real name, Mitzi. Odds? She's clearly mentioned in the dedication of Benjamin Kritzer. Don't know if there'll be any other coincidences in the actual film. Then I listen the the first cue of The Fabelmans, solo piano (later there's a guitar/harp version) and it's quite similar to the piano music I wrote for In My Mind's Eye's love theme and main theme - I'm sure no one's heard my stuff, but still, it's fascinating to me. Anyway, it's a very short score and I'm sure works fine in the film. It sounds like a cross between Benjamin Kritzer and Cinema Paradiso.

When my sister gets home - I will ask her to telephone our attorney next week to see if he got any queries.  They have three months to throw monkey wrenches.  Of course since the bank account is now at $000.00 - there is little they can do.

The Fabelmans looks like an interesting movie.....very much like Benjamin Kritzer......I'm not sure how much I want to see it.....maybe on television...

I am interested in BABYLON which is a movie about the movies set in the times of the silent to sound transition.......One article says that Mr. Brad Pitt plays an actor based on (or as it said now based off of) Mr. John Gilbert.....

And he does walk around in his underwear in a couple of scenes - so that's worth $5 on the B I G S C R E E N.

Thanks DR JANE so far so good.

I stood in line at Walgreen's for about 15 minutes.....then checked in and handed in my paper work and sat for another 40 minutes.

Then I got my Covid Booster.....and I mentioned that I had also filled out my paper to get a flu shoot.  Miss Irene from South Africa via Chicago and pharmacy school in Ohio was surprised - but she said if i would wait a few minutes more, she would get it all set up.

And fifteen minutes later I was on the way home.....

Last night the heater here in the apartment made a loud noise, then wouldn't work. I scheduled a service call with the gas company, but the earliest I could get is 3 weeks away. I bundled up and thought I might be OK without heat (low of 46), but no! I didn't sleep well as a result. This morning I phoned the manager, who clearly did not want to contact a contractor. She instead asked my neighbor, who is handy, to light the pilot. It was indeed out and he was able to light it, so at the moment all is well. I am suspicious, though, and will keep the gas company appointment, if only to do a safety check. It's been a few years, as they wouldn't send people out during Covid.

What was funny was that I had just been thinking that I should invest in a space heater just in case. I put in on my list just a couple hours before this happened and finalizing that purchase decision was the first thing I did this morning.

Last night the heater here in the apartment made a loud noise, then wouldn't work. I scheduled a service call with the gas company, but the earliest I could get is 3 weeks away. I bundled up and thought I might be OK without heat (low of 46), but no! I didn't sleep well as a result. This morning I phoned the manager, who clearly did not want to contact a contractor. She instead asked my neighbor, who is handy, to light the pilot. It was indeed out and he was able to light it, so at the moment all is well. I am suspicious, though, and will keep the gas company appointment, if only to do a safety check. It's been a few years, as they wouldn't send people out during Covid.

What was funny was that I had just been thinking that I should invest in a space heater just in case. I put in on my list just a couple hours before this happened and finalizing that purchase decision was the first thing I did this morning.

A Duraflame heater is both effective and attractive.

Larry, one of the main reasons that Kari Lake is doing well is because she was a local news anchor for 22 years in Phoenix. Her face is recognized everywhere, as is her voice. That broadcasting experience serves her well in her campaign.
I detest her and everything that she represents.

I want her made into a rug.

I'd rather see her as a shrunken head.

MSNBC newscasters have, alternately, run a montage of Fox News "red wave" prognostications made over the past month or two...all predicting a wave or a tsunami.  Joe Rogan claimed it was going to look like the elevator doors opening in "The Shining" that showed gallons of blood rushing out.

Oddly, Fox News has been rather introspective lately (they say on MSNBC).  I refuse to watch it under any circumstances, so I'll take MSNBC's word on it.

“The Fabelmans” soundtrack is out, and the 2 songs that I listened to are hauntingly beautiful. Both are solo piano pieces as a tribute to Spielberg’s late mother, Leah.

She was kind and brilliant, and would have definitely been a Senator many years ago, had it not been for that tragic assassination attempt in 2011.

Back from seeing the first cut of episode one. I made some slight adjustments but overall it played really well - charming and funny and boy does it move along quickly. Still have to fix some sound things (the boom mic sound has to still by sunk up so that will get done over the next few days. The music cues work great and there are a couple of fx shots that will get done, but overall I could not have been more pleased.
