Thanks, Jane. It's always a lovely party, but (and maybe it's in my mind) when you're sniffling and coughing at a big party, I sometimes feel like people are thinking "Oh no, I'm going to catch that cold if I shake his hand or hug him hello."

Well, Toby and Dylan have been making it a regular party. They've been letting me give them treats whenever I've wanted to; they're very good about making sure I'm having a good time.

I'm spending New Year's with Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin. They are a hoot together.

Cora and Fiona were both very a-peeling.

Alice, this could be the biggest thing I ever got into!

Ralph, the biggest thing you ever got into was your pants.

Last night I watched SATURDAY NIGHT,SUNDAY MORNING for the first time in over 40 years.

The camera certainly loved Mr Albert Finney from the moment he appeared onscreen.

Very good movie with some fine performances.

It CERTAINLY did! I marveled at his looks and his performance in TOM JONES some weeks ago. Hadn't watched it in awhile, and he was terrific. Mr. Poitier at that time in his life could do no wrong, but I would not have given him the Oscar for LILIES OF THE FIELD. It should have gone to Albert Finney (or Richard Harris or Paul Newman).

I finished up the bonus features on EL NORTE to begin my evening of viewing. In addition to the almost one hour "making of" docuemntary (which was fascinating with all the trouble they had; having their raw film stock kidnapped and having to pay a $30,000 ransom to get it back). There was also the director award-winning 1972 student film with the same tone as the first two-thirds of EL NORTE.

For tonight's fun movie, I decided I wanted to watch a James Bond movie, the one (other than MOONRAKER which I loathe) which I hadn't watched in the longest among of time. That honor fell to LICENCE TO KILL, Timothy Dalton's second and last Bond adventure. Carey Lowell is awful and Mr. Big is nothing more than a big drug dealer, but it is still a far finer Bond film than it's been given credit for. I always forget that the very young Benecio del Toro is in this.

I ended my evening with an NCIS episode, not from season three that I'm watching for the first time. No, I took last season off the shelf and picked the episode where Ziva is almost killed on an undercover assignment. I had watched the episode twice already, and I STILL didn't remember the identity of the other murderer. Came as a complete surprise.

Today in the mail I got the Kevin Costner SWING VOTE Blu-ray disc for review, but I had already decided I'm taking tomorrow off, so I won't get to it until Friday. Doesn't come out until January 13th, so I have plenty of time. That and WITHOUT A PADDLE: NATURE'S CALLING are the only review discs I have left in my queue.

Merry New Years Greetings!!! I thought I would be in bed before now but somehow managed to stay awake.

Well, to be honest, Sheena is pretty scared of all the fireworks that are going off all around us. They are VERY loud this year. Some are even shaking the windows!

I just want to let everyone here know how grateful I am for your friendship, I don't know what I would do with you and all the vibes you have sent me.

I'm hoping 2009 will be a stress free year full of fun, laughter and the good things life has to offer for all of us.

I'm sorry to read about your experience, BK. I hope it never happens again!!!

Healing vibes to DD Bosco!!! I pray that tumor isn't what Bear had.

Albert had kind of a James Dean - Marlon Brando thing going on to begin with...
