I must have 20 solid core doors at the house. You just can't buy doors like that at Home Deopt---they're all PLASTIC!

Twenty solid-core doors!! I'd be in Heaven!

I can't wait until it warms up enough for our snakes to start visiting us.

THAT would NOT be Heaven! Ugh!

It's over....we were a hit.  We raised $19,000 for our kickoff - our goal was $15,000 - so we are well on our way.

Only one problem.....I must have used Rita Marlowe's Stay-Put lipstick because I look like I have been drinking cherry Kool-Aid.  I shall try some more Sea Breeze.

Back onto eerie experiences...
Not long before my father passed away, I flew out to California to visit him in the hospital. He kept asking me where I was going to stay. I was staying at his house, but the conversation kept going around in circles. Then it came out that he'd had a dream that my house had burned down. At the time I thought it was just a dream--after all, he was on drugs and dreams can be strange, anyway. Just about a year later I was having the outside of the house painted when the house did indeed catch on fire inside a wall--the painter didn't realize it--and the fire damaged one corner of the house, all three floors. Had I not been home and smelled the smoke, and had the Fire Department not arrived quickly, I could have indeed lost the house. How did my dad know?

I finally got around to Woody Allen's MATCH POINT tonight. What a disspiriting and repetitive movie it was! The serious half of CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS without the (much needed) comic relief of the Allen/Alda storyline. What's more, I didn't care about a single leading person in the movie; found them all rather self-involved and brittle, so I ultimately didn't care what happened to any of them.

Yes, it was lovely to see the always special Margaret Tyzack in a brief role, and I love to hear Colin Salmon's voice in any movie or TV show. But that's slim pickings in a movie that's otherwise a tedious melodrama. And using those scratchy, tinny-sounding Enrico Caruso recordings for the soundtrack really grated on my nerves after awhile, too.

After the bitter taste of MATCH POINT, I wanted something gay-themed, so I put in ADAM & STEVE. I watched it about six months ago and knew it wasn't a great movie, but it does have that kicky two-step dance sequence and Malcolm Gets' lovely rendition of "Something Good." So I watched the whole thing again.

And staying with the gay theme, I then put in THIRD MAN OUT and watched the first third of it. I'll finish it tomorrow.

After I finish it tomorrow, I'll watch BREAKFAST ON PLUTO which is on the DVR. I honestly didn't know whether it was going to be depressing or not, and after MATCH POINT, I just wasn't up for anything that was a downer.

Cilla and anyone else who's interested - Maybe I've had a brain fart and it's been posted here before, but just in case no one posted it, here's a Playbill article about the experience Cilla is going to have being in the "onstage seats" at Spring Awakening.

Thansk FJL, I saw that a little while ago, I'm really looking forward to it.

TOD, I have had my cards read, my palm read, my charts done you name it. I used to read cards for awhile, but I never really got past looking in the book, so I'm not sure that counts.  

I have had some really good readings, especially a palm reader in New Orleans. He was fascinating. It was a very positive reading, but the things he said about me were so right on that I told a couple friends about it. One went to him and walked back totally amazed at the things he had been told.

I do get an individual horoscope from Jonathan Cainer's website.  It is uncannily accurate.

I have had some very bad readings as well.  One woman kept telling me about my children and my husband. Having neither, I just smiled and realized I'd kissed that money good bye.

I had my palm read while I was in Japan some years ago. I recall something about heart trouble in my 40s and if that didn't kill me I would live to be in my 70s.

He also said I was too gentle for women. I wonder what he meant by that.

Of course it was all be translated by a Japanese friend of the old school chum I was staying with.

DearReader Laura,  I saw your note about death penalty counsel.  I really don't mind the cold, so I don't plan to leave. Plus, as much as I am against the death penalty and as much as I love a challenge, I'm not sure I could handle the emotional wringer that a lawyer goes through in a death case.

Tough day today and I am exhausted.

Bosco and I went up to West Linn to help my best buddy Mark and his partner James pack up for their move back to Wyoming which is where Mark is from.

In the 6 years that I have known Mark he has become my best friend and I am going to miss him lots.

And Dog Bosco is going to miss his cousins Herbie, Digger, and Fat Kitty.

That was a nice era. Homes were quite well-built. I do love old houses.

Do you have a ghost?

No, no ghost.  At least none that I've met in the past year.

I spent a lot of time looking at computers and office furniture today. I thought I found the computer I wanted but everyone seems to be out of it.  I decided to wait awhile. I was pricing new furniture. I'll check the used places soon, but I wanted to get an idea of what new was. I didn't really see anything I likes that well.  I didn't buy a thing, but did get a headache

No, no ghost.  At least none that I've met in the past year.  

For the first few years that I lived here there were a number of times when I'd be alone in the house, on the second floor, and SWEAR that there was someone above me on the third floor. I'd go upstairs and check--no one. Then one day a painter was in the house by himself. When I got home he asked me if I had a ghost; he'd had the same experience. I had never mentioned the "ghost" to anyone. Then I learned that many people in my neighborhood, and many people in other old houses--some who never believed in ghosts--have similar stories to tell. I've since decided that many of those sounds were actually coming from the house my house abuts. Noises do carry in some funny ways. The jury's still out about the ghost. I wouldn't mind--as long as he/she doesn't throw things!

MBarnum = I notice that movie was directed by one M Barman.  Practically your name.  Eerie coincidence?
