DR George, I thought around ten years ago, Jack the Ripper through DNA was discovered to have been a Soho butcher.

Around 2000, plagiarist nitwit author Patricia Cornwell wrote a book about Jack the Ripper, claiming that she had solved the question of the Ripper's identity. She identified the killer as Walter Sickert, a painter at the time. She's now written a second book, Sickert, about the killer. Well, she's a liar: around 1975 British author Stephen Knight wrote Jack the Ripper: the Final Solution, naming - guess who? - Walter Sickert as the killer in association with Queen Victoria's surgeon and the Masons to stop the news of one of the royal prince's marriage and child with one of Sickert's models! This meant tracking down the wife and her witnesses at the wedding to silence them.

This royal scandal was the basis for Bob Clark's wonderful film Murder by Decree.

DR Rodzinsky, I have seen a third-rate off-Broadway mounting of Do-Re-Mi, which was pretty bad. I think it was originally a second-rate show with a first-rate score and cast, and the production I saw did nothing to make it look like a prize.

I slept very well but my dreams were wonky.

Not willy wonky, either. 

The last one, however, floored me.

I was in what I thought to be my house and i had an open door.  A ady wearing a hat approached the door, smiling in at me.  She reminded me of Beah Richards.

I said hello, beckoned her to come in, and then I asked "How may I help you?"

She smiled and then replied: "I've come to kill you."

She then walked into another room.  A friend came in and asked what I was up to.  I told him about the lady.  He said "What lady?" 

I pointed toward the room she walked into.

"There's no one there", he claimed.

I woke up.

To completely change the subject, I wonder who wrote the copy for the "Bonnie and Clyd" ads that read:

"They're young...they're in love...and they kill people."

I remember it was quite a controversial ad at that time...at least in the wilds of North and South Carolina.

DR RON PULLIAM the Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that your dream is most interesting because it contains so many different elements.

The lady in the hat intent on your demise tells us that you sometimes worry about being the victim of situation or illness that took a close loved one away from you.....you welcoming her into your home means that you are not fearful of circumstances that are now puzzling to you, but you are reticent....oh YES, you are reticent.

The fact that she is no longer to be found or seen when a friend comes by lets us know while thinking about your past can be pleasant you sometimes also find it a distraction to living your life today.

Did you ever spend a Saturday morning inside an S&H Green Stamp redemption center?  Lawdy.

I think some of those workers had to have been/gone batcrap crazy.  They literally counted each page of each book you proffered for your reward.  And some required 30 or 40 books. 

It was one thing to paste stamps in those books.

It was quite another to wait while each book was examined page-by-page.

Thank you and fuck you to yesterday's Amazon delivery person who ignored the fact that one side of a carton coming to me was soaking wet and dripping liquid soap from its interior. No, the sonofabitch left it under the mailboxes, and this morning, when I went down for yesterday's mail and packages, there was a huge puddle of Palmolive dishwashing soap with two packages for me sitting in the middle of it.

'Tis been a very quiet morning here at the house, as I slept in late (but I was up till nearly 2:30 a.m., so still didn't get a lot of sleep) and we're all just sitting inside here today because of the abominable weather du jour.

Flood warnings abound everywhere, at least for the next few hours, and some 2/3 of New England - including the Lawn Guyland, vixmom - are under a tornado watch till 3 p.m. or so.

It should now be acknowledged that it's not even the abominable weather du jour. It's the abominable weather du summer 2023. Of course we are hardly alone. While the northeast soaks, much of the rest of the country burns up.

PERFECT weather (allowing for the humidity, but I was comfortable). The slightly threatening evening rain didn't make an appearance, and the Addams cast and crew had a wonderful evening. Was the show perfect? No, but certain segments of it were highly enjoyable, and it was just so good to have an evening's reprieve outdoors from the awfulness of the summer so far.

So, I lost half a bottle of detergent, thanks to the ass who packaged my shipment. The other package was one of those plastic Amazon envelopes so I just washed it off. Then I called our building's maintenance and they are sending someone to mop the lobby.

Let Amazon know about this.  They should replace the soap free of charge.

Already done.

Good.  Sad that it happens in the first place. :-\

This anecdote is told about conductor Sir Thomas Beecham:

About to lead the dress rehearsal of Richard Strauss's Elektra, he faced his orchestra of over a hundred players and said, "Those singers up on the stage believe they are going to be heard. It up to you and me to make damned sure that they won't be."

I’m feeling grumpy today. I am now at war with Cedars-Sinai, my medical group, due to their continued stupidity, rudeness, and lack of sensitivity to their patients. I sent my PCP a rather scathing email on Friday, because I was so fed up. He’s not the problem and everything in it we’ve talked about. I’m hoping he’ll forward it to the appropriate people, but have no confidence that anything will change.

There are some good doctors there and also a few good nurses, but so many who are not. There are problems that have been occurring as long as I’ve been with them and I see no signs of any improvement. Senior management seems to think everything is just dandy.

I took on the Hollywood memorabilia because the family was pretty burnt out at that point and I didn’t want to see it just trashed. They told me they’d leave a box of photos at my door. Instead I found four. And am told there are about seven more in the storage locker in the carport. There was a program from the Academy Awards sometime during the 1960s, I think, but of course I said, “You could probably sell that on eBay.” I doubt I’ll find it in any of the boxes. But, who knows? There may be something else. I think it’s worth going through, but it’ll take some time.

James Jones did call it From Hair to Maternity at one point.

Got over the little hump and wrote five good pages and introduced an important person in this story.

I did get 160 more pages of From Here to Eternity read. Less than 100 to go.

Biggest difference between the book and the movie?

Besides the book being printed on paper and the movie being projected onto a screen.

I'll take a little break then try to write another five pages - I know exactly where I'm going from here to the next sequence, so that's good.

The frank discussion of homosexuality.

Maybe more realistic portrayals of characters. The prickly relationship between Prewitt (Montgomery Clift) and the prostitute Alma (Donna Reed).

The language. It’s the oldest book (1951) I think I’ve read that has a liberal use of f-bombs in conversation.

F-bombs, eh?

I am fairly certain those flew around the entire movie production...in between takes, that is.

Dino's is the best pizza in LA. It's a long delivery drive, but for 40% off and the sale delivery charge of .49 made it worth it AND it's still nice and hot.


That's great, BK!

Jane Birkin has died. She was wonderful in Evil Under the Sun, holding her own against Diana Rigg, Maggie Smith and Peter Ustinov.

She was only 76. :(

Does your church have air conditioning?
Does your church have air conditioning?

Yes

Then I am surprised the numbers dropped so drastically.  I guess people prefer to stay in their own cool homes.

We had torrential thunderstorms and flash flood warnings this morning

I would have stayed home.

Ditto! :-\

I just ordered dinner to be delivered to a friend who is at home recovering from a recent major surgery. I hope the logistics work.

I hope so, and recovery vibes for your friend.

And speaking of food, what do you think about this?

I would eat it!

I'm not a fan of pulled pork, so that wouldn't appeal to me...but IKEA had a Swedish meatball cup that was pretty much the same thing.  I might try that, if I go back.

I’m feeling grumpy today. I am now at war with Cedars-Sinai, my medical group, due to their continued stupidity, rudeness, and lack of sensitivity to their patients. I sent my PCP a rather scathing email on Friday, because I was so fed up. He’s not the problem and everything in it we’ve talked about. I’m hoping he’ll forward it to the appropriate people, but have no confidence that anything will change.

That's terrible, Jeanne! >:(
