The burn on my wrist is looking really ugly. I think it's just the healing process, but if it gets uglier, I may have to go to the doctor,.

OY! Yesterday it was 39 degrees. Right now the wind chill is 7 below zero!

Hello all. I don't have much time for an update, and catching up will have to happen later. The flood waters are coming in our basement, and we've given up trying to stop them. Jed and I are emptying everything out of the basement, and writing off the carpeting as a loss. Our basement is also our TV/family room, so we are hauling recliners and tables and baby swings and bookshelves and other various crap up. I'm only on a break because I need to nurse the baby.

Vibes would be nice, but really, we're not in that bad of shape compared to some of the other towns around here. Some of the smaller Washington towns in the surrounding valleys are underwater right now.

I'm seriously thinking about building an ark.

Then I began my review work with Season 2 of Andy Griffith's MATLOCK. I only got 2 1/4 episodes watched because (a) the season premiere was a 96-minute episode, and (b) we had a power outage that interrupted viewing for a bit.

By season 2, Linda Purl had left the show and been replaced with Nancy Stafford.

I liked the episodes with Julie Sommars.

Yes, she and Andy make fun friendly adversaries. She was in two of the eight episodes I viewed today.

The clouds cleared away and so did the warm temperatures. Should be down in the 30s tonight.

As I mentioned earlier, I did watch 8 episodes of MATLOCK today. All but one were standard mysteries even though the show is more like PERRY MASON where information is withheld from the audience until it's sprung in court. MURDER SHE WROTE always put the clues out there if you were observant enough to spot them which made that show more fun to play along with than MATLOCK. As I mentioned earlier today, one of the episodes was a COLUMBO-style show where we knew all along who was guilty and how he did it.

One of the episodes was called "The Network" and it was peppered with cameo appearances by stars from NBC's then-hit shows: Betty White, Alf, Corbin Bernsen, Jason Bateman, Malcolm Jamal-Warner, but I enjoyed more seeing Cameron Mitchell as a real guest star in that episode.

Other guest stars in various episodes today: Dick Butkas, Scott Bakula looking trés gorgeous, Robert Culp, Ralph Bellamy.

Then I watched tonight's DAMAGES season premiere. A good start to the season. Has Glenn Close had work done on her face? It looked very tight and unnatural.

Let me guess: is the missing verb died, Mike?

Oh, lordy, I shouldn't be laughing, but I am.

I'm heading down to bed now.

Good night!

I'm quite tired. I'm finishing a movie, and then will attempt to write one more page, no matter how rough. I had a Subway turkey sandwich for lunch, and small things of potato salad and Chinese chicken salad just now. I really did go through an awful lot of boxes and we're throwing a LOT of stuff out.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #404 on:** January 07, 2009, 09:29:37 PM »

Well I am pooped and the plumbers are supposed to be here first thing in the morning so I'm going to get some sleep. Hopefully, by tomorrow noon I will once again be the proud owner of a shower!

Night all

I don't know what you are talking about DR Elmore.

Oh, spoo, I forgot Elmore quoted

Hmm... It's been interesting watching the different commercials for "Doubt". One makes it look like a almost-horror/thriller movie. Another one makes it look like a great whodunit. And another one is just a listing of all the nominations and awards they're up for right now. I guess it's good to cover all your bases.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #408 on:** January 07, 2009, 09:43:15 PM »

I liked tonight's season premiere of "Damages" too, and it will be interesting to see just how many more twists they will introduce as the season unfolds. I lost track of all the ones that were presented or teased at tonight.

*And Glenn Close's Cadillac commercial after the commercial-free presentation provided a good laugh after the program.

**And then when I changed over to Letterman, Rose Byrne was the guest and sporting her Australian accent too!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #409 on:** January 07, 2009, 09:59:25 PM »

OK... Tomorrow should be an eventful day for me. Well, I hope to make it eventful.

Goodnight.

Wrote two more pages for a total of six today, so I'm happy about that. Finished the motion picture and shall now take a nice hot shower.

Law and order - Maureen - spoiler

Dear friend (and BK co-star in Last Starfighter NYMF readings) Maureen's part was entirely in the first fifteen minutes or so, and had Maureen not mentioned that she had a deposition scene, I might not have known to keep watching for her. So if anyone taped it or DVR'd it, she does appear as the lawyer (wearing blue) in the deposition later on, even though she's one of the victims before the credits.
