And the word of the day is: LITTORAL!

And The Song Of The Day Is: BY THE SEA

Good morning, all! Around 3 am I read a bit of Sheridan leFanu's novel UNCLE SILAS (God, I want a Vicotrian heriess who isn't such a passive wimp! this heroine is to passive for anyone's good) and shortly thereafter went back to sleep. At 8:30, I dragged myself out of bed to find an email telling me tomorrow's McGlinnventory has been cancelled for the removal of inventory and arrival of new unopened cartons. I wish I'd known on Tuesday before I scheduled tomorrow's events around this cancelled inventory day.

To get back to UNCLE SILAS for a moment, I am enjoying a lot of the novel - Madame la Rougierre is truly a frightening villainess with a hinted lesbian streak - and I want to see the two British film adaptations, THE INHERITANCE with Jean Simmons and DARK ANGEL with Peter O'Toole, which played on PBS around 20 years ago. I suppose Maud Ruthyn, our narrator and threatened heiress, fits the Victorian heroine mode of passive wimp female beau ideal but she constantly aggravates me because she never becomes active in her defense; the day that Madame la Rougierre nearly broke my finger trying to wheedle a secret out of me is the day the bitch gets herself sacked as my governess! So far, Madame la Rougierre has done that to her, tried to sell her into white slavery, promoted a botched abduction, and she creeps about the estate at night reading Maud's wealthy father's private correspondence while looking for "the will." I don't know where UNCLE SILAS falls in the period of le Fanu's writing, but the sapphic and evil Madame la Rougierre reminds me a lot of his pretty lesbian vampire in CARMILLA.

So, today more edits.

DR TCB, keep up the reports! I hope you got a few shots of the carpets in the casino for DearReaderLaura.

Good morning!

It was very mild on my walk this morning and overcast, too. Looking outside, I see it has rained a bit since I came upstairs and started my workout. The rain wasn't supposed to get here until 3 p.m.

So far, no FIGHT CLUB, so it looks like SANTA BUDDIES is up to bat this afternoon. The movie is less than 90 minutes, and it doesn't appear that Disney has gone out of its way to do much in the way of bonus features either (a couple of music videos and sing along carols). So, I could be done with this this afternoon and have the evening free to watch a movie for fun until it's time for GLEE.

And just as a reminder (since some of you seem to be fans of the show as I am), MODERN FAMILY is back tonight and with guest star Edward Norton.

I agree with everybody else. Please continue your posts TCB!

I loved GALAXY QUEST from the moment I first saw it, and I especially adored Enrico Colantoni's gentle, kindly alien-in-need. I have loved the actor in everything else I've seen him in, but this was my first exposure to him.

Charlotte and I loved this film, too!

Wednesday morning greetings! I've cancelled my reservation for lunch with the volunteer administrators today, because I woke up with a sinus headache and don't want to sit through the by-laws fight. A day of puttering at home is what I need before our festive evening seeing White Christmas at the Aronoff Center in Cincinnati.

DR TCB, I am very much enjoying your posts about your trip...and I am envious, as well!

Thank you, DR DAW. This is nothing serious - I think it has something to do with the barometric pressure.

Ginny · « **Reply #46 on:** November 18, 2009, 06:47:49 AM »

DR TCB - please do not stop sending those marvelous "postcards" from Italy!

Barometric Pressure - that is the title of my JukeBox musical featuring the songs of Hall & Oates.

Here is a blog about Hazel's Country Store. This store is in Mintonville, Kentucky - very near my father's birthplace. In fact it's very near where my grandfather had his sawmill and general store (since torn down) back during WW I and the 1920's. My grandfather also taught school at Mintonville while my grandmother ran the mill and the store during the day.

But this is Hazel's Country Store. My father and brothers visited there last month.

Well, the UPS man has come and gone, and I now have FIGHT CLUB on Blu-ray ready to be dissected. Due to the length of the film and the plethora of bonus material, I will be with this all day long and possibly into tomorrow morning.

Matt H. · « **Reply #50 on:** November 18, 2009, 07:17:21 AM »

Now I guess I'll head downstairs and do some leisure viewing while I can before diving into FIGHT CLUB after lunch.
