I was up early because we got ourselves yet another dusting last night, just enough that if I didn't blow it off the driveway this morning it would be pressed down into a sheet of ice. So, out with the leaf blower first thing, and it did the trick. I hated making noise at seven in the a.m. but we can't function with 500 linear feet of slippery sh!t.

I was feeling a mite puny last night, so I went to bed just after 8:00 and slept until 7:00 this morning. I only got out of bed because Annabelle and Thatch were playing too exuberantly and one of them ended up on my nightstand. knocking to the floor and in all directions a bottle of water, my cell phone, and my glasses.

Been reading a lot of bad reviews of Show/Boat. It sounds dreadful, but the writers are showing themselves to be ignorant as well as unimpressed. The production is happening because the original show is now in the public domain. The producers don't have to pay for it. Yet in his one-star review, David Finkle seemed obsessed with songs written for later productions or the film not being included. Well, duh. They're not copyright-free.

I was up early because we got ourselves yet another dusting last night, just enough that if I didn't blow it off the driveway this morning it would be pressed down into a sheet of ice. So, out with the leaf blower first thing, and it did the trick. I hated making noise at seven in the a.m. but we can't function with 500 linear feet of slippery sh!t.

The Aldous Huxley version of Pride and Prejudice is the one with Green Garson and Laurence Olivier. It turns Austen's magnificent heartfelt prose into almost a bubble-headed screwball comedy.

Supposedly, Huxley wanted to go back to the book, but MGM said they had purchased Helen Jerome's play and to go with bthat. My biggest problem, besides setting the movie 30 years later than 1812-13 and being so coy, is making Lady Catherine de Burgh a nice person as opposed to Austen's nasty bitch

These mofos who live across from me - have MY address on THEIR packages - this has been going on for years. Hasn't happened recently but did today. So, I took it over there and left it on their porch. There was barely any room to walk because their cars are parked so close together and then so close to the shrubbery. Well, I took a lovely little tumble and went right down hard on both knees. And could not get up because I'm a big fat tub of lard. Now, I was not silent about my upset at losing my footing because of THEM and being their delivery boy. They were sitting at a kitchen table, clearly visible from the living room window - there's no way they did not hear me - do you think they came out to see if I was okay? Nope.

Hi DR Iris.  How you feeling better and healing ok?

Thank you for asking, Jane.
Not feeling well, to be honest, but am determined to remain optimistic.
Very challenging.


Sending feel-better vibes, Iris!

I am myself enraged at BK’s thoughtless neighbors. Next time, get a nice steel-toed boot and kick the package off your porch with prejudice.

I think I would throw the packages in their yard from the street. And no further.

My girl child brought her home reading and it was some Sleeping Beauty version from the ‘80s, maybe based on the original, I dunno. The wicked queen at some point demands her servant feed her the princess’s two babies. She eats them! Or she thinks she does. Of course the servant/chef feeds her lambs instead. Unpleasantness.

That sounds like the story I remember as a kid. It was like Cronus eating his kids.

A friend cooked dinner tonight and got out the fine china. So it was a dress-up affair. She cooked pork loin and served it eith tzimmes, which was excellent. Dessert was an angel food cake with whipped cream frosting and cracked brittle on top.

Just finished an irritating documentary called This Is Ballet: Dancing Anne of Green Gables. You wade through endless backstage blather about the creation of a new ballet. Ten minutes before it’s over, they get to opening night. And what little footage they include of the ballet is presented in fast forward, so you get no serious dancing in the whole  movie.

Ah, pork loin served with tzimmes!

Back from opening night - I really should have stayed home and written. Well, I'll write some damn notes and make them brief and then try to write for at least two hours. Definitely want to do another six pages.

Apparently, at some point these morons across the street put the wrong address in somewhere - and when they get packages from there they come here. I'm going to leave them a note tomorrow telling them from now on if packages come here I will have them returned. I am NEVER walking over there again.
