We usually have a full house around these here parts at midnight California time, but methinks we won't this year, given that some people are asleep before nine.

OK... As I mentioned earlier... Time for me to head offline for a bit...

Laters... In 2010.*

*In about 45 minutes more or less.

Uh oh.....Billy Jack and Jean have given up on exposing hospitals and child abuse. They are going after nuclear proliferation and nuclear plants in the US.

Lucie Arnaz must keep Billy Jack away from anything political, even though he has been appointed by Governor Conrad Birdie....I mean Governor Dick Gautier to serve the last two months of the term of Lucie's late boss......of course first he had to pardon Billy Jack's past and restore ALL of his civil rights.

Lucie is explaining to Jean how a bill becomes a law.

I got a padlock for the back gate - probably don't need it and haven't had one ever, but I've been meaning to and today I did. There's a bolt on the door that no one can reach without literally climbing over the gate, which would be very difficult to do, but I just like the idea of a padlock.

I was watching the hi-def transfer of Anatomy Of A Murder - the DVD was open matte and therefore appalling - lovely to see it in its proper ratio, and while I'd imagine a Blu-Ray will be sharper, it looks pretty good. And what a film - the kind we'll never see again, simply because we don't have those kinds of actors anymore, from the smallest to the largest parts, and because no film executive, director, or producer would have the nut clusters to hire someone like Duke Ellington to provide a score. And they'd change everything, and they'd add droning, thumping music, and they'd make the script all Screenplay 101 and it would be pathetic. Oh, for actors like James Stewart, George C. Scott, Ben Gazzara, Lee Remick, Arthur O'Connell, Eve Arden, Murray Hamilton and on and on - in ONE movie.

I'm going to try to gather my family, so we can ring in the new year together.

Happy New Year, All!

At midnight, after the balls drop, I'm going to type the title page of my new book and try to write the first sentence or two of its introduction.

I've finished my Diet Coke and will shortly have some water. No more food, though.

I'm very excited and very nervous to start this completely different and new book adventure. And that's good - it clears my sinuses.

bk · « **Reply #440 on:** December 31, 2009, 08:52:18 PM »

And yes, Virginia, the book has a title and one I like - we'll see if it sticks, but for now it feels right to me and muse Margaret liked it, too.

bk · « **Reply #441 on:** December 31, 2009, 08:52:53 PM »

Most won't know what the title means unless they've heard the story before, or until they get to that section of the book.

I will singlehandedly take us to page sixteen and then it will be infinity and beyond - or, in my case, Infiniti and beyond.

And actually, I'll have to write the notes soon, so that they're ready to post - they'll be short since today's were so very long, but I have to have them done so that at eleven-thirty I can do my yearly thing I do.
