The sun is out, I am up, and sitting here like so much fish.

The financial community has a high regard for Wise Research and Keith thought you might find the report they released to congress this morning interesting. I found it a bit overwhelming, but then Keith had suggested I only read the first few pages of the Wise Report.

I see PETA does it again!

It's great, lightly toasted, with a side of hummus or baba ganoush.

Hmm... I wonder if DR MBarnum would like the current (revival/remount) production of Don Giovanni at The Met?

Don Giovanni is being played by Erwin Schrott*:

And his servant and cohort, Leporello, is being played by Ildebrando D’Arcangelo:

*There's also a nice feature story in today's New York Times about Erwin Schrott and his portrayal of the Cavalieri.

I woke up this morning in a rather gothic mood.

I've a mind to write a Southern Gothic story.

My working title: "Samanthy from Rodanthe"

I'm planning on recording THE MENTALIST tonight. It got great ratings on Tuesday night, and CBS is rerunning it at 8 p.m. tonight in the GHOST WHISPERER slot. Since I'm running hot and cold on FRINGE, I figured I'd pick this up if I liked it if I decide to ditch FRINGE.

I watched it last night and found it entertaining. It presumes, I think, that the audience will pick up on the glib hipness of its central character a bit more than is comfortable (for me) in a "first episode", but it's worth sticking with for now.

No. I realized it's ANOTHER workday!

That's FIVE in a row!

Answer: In this case, "pas" means "step" and not "not". (Il n'est pas "pas".) So, it's a "step of/for two". Subsequently, you can also have a "pas de trois".

Or a pas de quatre as in Tchaikovsky's Act Three of La Belle au bois dormant!

This morning I had to renew my driver's license. I tried to squat on the floor for the photo, but they wouldn't let me. I actually felt my face inflate at the moment she snapped the photo, then deflate quarter-second later.
