Having read inadvertently how last night's LAW & ORDER was going to end, I couldn't sit through another emotional drama this afternoon, so instead I watched the two back-to-back episodes of SCRUBS from Tuesday night.

My gosh, three pregnant ladies for our cliffhanger!

Hi again! Sorry I left so quickly. I don't know what happened--I just lost the signal and by the time I got it back it was to late to sign back on. I only get a half hour for lunch.

I guess the building really does block out side signals. Ah, well.

I am so sorry to hear your news, DR Elmore. I wish there was something I could say or do to make it better. Believe me when I say I understand exactly what your going through.

I wanted to thank TCB for the wonderful Mothers Day wishes for my Mom. That was so very nice and thoughtful of you.

Let me check my Tivo tonight, VixMom. I have BL on a season pass so I don't know why I wouldn't have but knowing my luck, just about the time I say I have something, it won't work or be there.

I must say it is kinda cool having the lap top on the bus. A bit of pain to carry but maybe I can get a lighter laptop sometime soon.

Almost home! Passing the dog park now.

Gas prices are 2.71 for regular and 2.91 for ulitimate. Silver is 2.81. That's a live report.

Well I hate to post and run but we're almost to my stop. I will try to get back on when I get home.

If not, everyone have a wonderful evening!

Oops, missed the bus to ride home with Danise! Isn't that cool that she can post from there?

I'll be leaving work soon to go directly to my book group. Tonight we're discussing The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler. Next month, we'll become the Jane Austen Book Club, each member reading Austen books of her choice. I'm trying to do them in the same order as the group in Fowler's book, so right now I'm listening to Emma while driving.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - In another in a series of notable pronouncements, religious broadcaster Pat Robertson says God told him storms and possibly a tsunami will hit America's coastline this year.

Robertson has made the predictions at least four times in the past two weeks on his news-and-talk television show "The 700 Club" on the Christian Broadcasting Network, which he founded.

Robertson said the revelations about this year's weather came to him during his annual personal prayer retreat in January.

"If I heard the Lord right about 2006, the coasts of America will be lashed by storms," Robertson said May 8. On Wednesday, he added, "There well may be something as bad as a tsunami in the Pacific Northwest."

Robertson has come under intense criticism in recent months for suggesting that American agents should assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was divine retribution for Israel's pullout from the Gaza Strip.

What has not been included in this article is that Robertson has personally invested heavily in swimming schools all through Washington and Oregon. (British Columbia, being part of Canada, is not in any danger.)

Got a lovely package from dear reader elmore - I hadn't been to the mail place since Saturday, so there were a few nice things waiting for me. I shall now shower, dress for tonight's concert, then be on my way to LACC for the afternoon rehearsal, which I'll leave at six-fifteen.

Fantastic!

BTW, THE DA VINCI CODE just got a great review on NBC local news, and it was followed by a story about a Darien, CT priest, Father Fay (?) who's embezzled at present count between $200 - 400,000 from his parishioners to keep himself and his boyfriend in luxury. And the Church is worried about Dan Brown's book? Oy!

EMMA's good, but PERSUASION is up there in sublimity with Mozart, Schubert, and the best of writing. I strive to be as good and understanding as Mr Knightley but end up as tacky as Mr Elton!

Off to do household chores and then on to tonight's TV finales - WILL & GRACE, CSI, and WITHOUT A TRACE.

Here's the order in which I'll be reading/listening:

Emma
Sense and Sensibility
Mansfield Park
Northanger Abbey
Pride and Prejudice
Persuasion

I thought I had something to say before I started "catching up."

After having done so, I don't.

I mean, how could I possibly add to what has already BEEN said?

NORTHANGER ABBEY should be funnier but the heroine's sooo dumb! How dumb is she? She thinks Shirley Temple is a synagogue. What does the romantic hero ever see in something that stupid?

I actually prefer the film of SENSE & SENSIBILITY, but I think the other four are great, rating them MANSFIELD PARK (4; too much sanctimony about the vicar's life although the Aunt Norris is a bitch from hell), EMMA (3, could be a bit more sparkling), P & P (2, but high in my pantheon of great lit), PERSUASION (#1, profound and heartbreaking; the literary happy ending Miss Austen never experienced in life).

The news just had a bit of General Hayden's senate interrogation to be head of the CIA, and in justifying illegal wire tapping, he saud "the more we put out there, the more terrorists we kill and capture." Kill was definitely the first word.

Speaking of the news, any thoughts on the Duke University rape case? I think it's a Tawana Brawley fraud all over again.

Why don't they take some second- or third-rate films and improve them as musicals? DR MBarnum would love a musical of ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE! I think it could only help that film.
