I got a very lovely holiday card today from DR George.  Thank you, kind sir!  :)  And a wonderful holiday to you and your family.

So did I, and I greatly appreciate it, DR George. Happy Holidays to you and yours!

Guess I'll head down now and get started on Mr. Heston's 1971 sci-fi adventure.

I have finally finished all the slicing and dicing and mincing and chopping and preparing - the tuna pasta salad is in the fridge, and the spaghetti sauce is now doing its long three-hour simmer.  Former dear reader Hisaka stopped by and brought some Christmas food such as Vanilla Flan (I think that's what she said it was), and some California Rolls.  She can't make the party, but it was very sweet of her to drop off those lovely items.

No packages today - which means they either lost the one from Saturday or whoever filled out the slip made a mistake.  The guy did say he'd looked everywhere for it.

OK... I'm off to the Mall.

Laters...
The Mall must be where they have the local Reservoir.

JMK - because Paramount was actively trying to kill Nudie, they didn't do anything for it.  I personally got the songs eligible for consideration, but at that point in time the average age of the Academy member was about forty-five, and the average age of the music branch members was about sixty-five.

I did have to stop at Gelson's, as I forgot to get the rolls.  I was smart, though, and just walked across the street from the mail place.  I was in and out in four minutes, but the madness of these fools doing huge shopping for their parties this evening and tomorrow this close is just wacko to me.  The parking lot was ridiculous (so glad I didn't attempt that) and I suppose it never would occur to any of these people that they could have done this last night and saved themselves a lot of the annoyance.

I just can't quite see why Sweeney Todd would be released at Christmastime.
You're right, a film about feasting should be released at Thanksgiving!

Grocery shopping is always crazy when it comes to holidays.  Today was no exception, with customers getting testier and testier by the hour.

There was one loony who was at the self-scan registers when I came back from my break.  Very high-maintenance, very much a drama queen.  Jen, who had been "assisting" her, passed her over to me as quickly as she could.  Well, Ms. Drama slaps this heirloom tomato into my hands and says "This won't scan!"  I calmly entered the correct Produce Look-Up Code into the terminal (there was no bar code).  At which time she loudly says "I don't want THAT tomato!  You've SQUEEZED it!"

At this point, my boss, Dixie, comes over.  "I don't want that tomato!" Ms. D knows nothing about turning down the decibles.  "He SQUEEZED it!"  "I'll get you a new tomato," Dixie replies, leaves for the produce department, then returns.  "Will this tomato do?" she asked.  Ms. D sort of nodded, and Dixie nodded at me to tend to the other three self-scan registers.

Much later, after my shift ended, Dixie admitted that she had simply gone to the produce department and returned with the exact same tomato.  I have my reasons for liking my boss.

I would have SQUEEZED it, all right...  Right over her head!

There is no excuse for idiots like that.   >:(

I was tempted to reply "You don't know me well enough to have me squeezing your tomatoes," but I let the moment pass.

I just programmed the DVR for a boatload of holiday musical offerings over the next 48 hours.  Worth checking out your local PBS programming.  Plus fun to see what's going on at the National Cathedral and other institutions which broadcast their services.

I thought they released SWEENEY TODD over the Christmas season because it's set in poverty-torn London, as another holiday classic is. . .

Depp NOT sexy?  Oh, my!  I think he's very sexy!  CRY-BABY, PRIVATE RESORT, DEAD MAN,  BENNIE & JOON,  GILBERT GRAPE and those PIRATES movies for quirky sexiness. . .I even think he's sexy in THE 9TH GATE!  Not too shoddy in THE ASTRONAUT'S WIFE, either IMHO. . .

Leo. . .well, y'all can have him as your stocking stuffer. . .he's bland, bland as Dorothy Collins' APPLESAUCE, IMHO. . .

Yes, Especially Benny & Joon & definitely NOT 21 Jump Street. And he just looked goofy in Nightmare on Elm Street.

As for TOD:

PUSHING DAISIES
LOST
DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES
CALIFORNICATION
UGLY BETTY
THE MORMONS

As for individual episodes:
PUSHING DAISIES' premiere, which I've now watched several times.
LOST's first five minutes of "A Tale of Two Cities,"  the entire episodes of "The Man Behind the Curtain," Through the Looking-Glass" and "Expose."
DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES' Halloween episode, tornado episode and the introductory episodes with Dana Delany's Katherine Mayfair.
Pilot and "LOL," the fifth episode.
UGLY BETTY's season premiere, the WICKED episode.

I'm not fond of HEROES as much this season, but, maybe time will tell.
