I watched PROJECT RUNWAY while I ate lunch. I was overjoyed by the loser of this week's competition and was only shuddering to think that this person was going to pull someone else down as well. Thankfully that didn't happen.

The show irritated the crap out of me, however, not only because of the team challenge which I always find horrendously unfair and polarizing but by the producers springing an extra look on them when their time had been budgeted based on what they had been told originally. This, again, I find completely irritating and done ONLY for the purposes of making "interesting TV" but instead inflicting more pressure on situations that are already taut and traumatic enough already.

Next I began on BARNABY JONES. I got two episodes watched. I did not remember that CBS had WIlliam COnrad as Cannon sort of "chaparone" Buddy Ebsen through this first case on his new show.

The show, disappointingly, is not a mystery but rather a crime drama. We see whodunit immediately. The whydunit is the part we have to find out during the course of the show.

Bradford Dillman and Robert Hogan were the primary guest stars in the pilot episode.

The second one guest starred William Shatner as a wealthy man who stages his own death so he can ride off to a new life in Arizona. The shows were made in 1973, and Shatner was starting to the heaviness around his midsection that would get more pronounced during the rest of the 1970s. He'd never have Captain Kirk's 1960s physique again.

I should be able to get four or five more of these watched before I turn off the equipment tonight putting me more than halfway through the set.

The only bonus features are the sixty second promos aligned to each episode, so once I've finshed the episodes, I'm finished with the box.

The sleet ended several hours ago. Looks like I got about an inch or one and a half inches here. Doesn't appear to be any danger of snapping power lines or broken limbs landing on the house. That's a BIG relief.

I was expecting those SUPERMAN nonfiction books today, and I was BITTERLY disappointed that I only got one little envelope in the mailbox and NO packages at all.

I also have not yet gotten my shipping notice for THE MUSIC MAN/FINIAN'S RAINBOW.  Argh!

LOL!

interesting you named two foods i would not put cheese into, shepherd's pie & chicken pot pie.

I like to put the cheese on the top of the shpherd's pie, although i know a lot of recipes do not call for it.

I'm not sure about the chicken pot pie. I believe the recipe has cheese mixed in. I saw it had chicken, cream of something soup, frozen veggies. And i think cheese. But i don't really know if that is just to make it creamy.  It has those fold up crescent rolls/croissants as the top. So i have no idea how that will turn out.

Back from all the errands and whatnot.  I have not had more than thirty minutes to myself, and I used that to do some smoothing out and additions to what I wrote yesterday.  I had to tell edisaurus that I won't be able to make it tonight - it's just too far and I'm just starting to write and then I have to print out close to 125 pages this evening so I can get them to muse Margaret in the morning.

they came, they walked the dogs one at a time while i held the 8 week old pup.  the used the facilities & left.  the entire time it was pouring.  not what i originally expected, still it was nice to meet them & see the dogs.  i fear the stop will make them late for the hand off in portland.

Back from MBarnum's backyard, AKA Philomath.  The party was fun and the 103 year old was, well, 103.  ;)

In breaking news, it appears we have reached a deal on the new La Manse.  Sellers have agreed to another price reduction in lieu of the repairs and we should have a signed agreement tomorrow.  Then it's on to the appraisal and being really, really heavily in debt.  :)

Richard and I went on a date this afternoon/evening - Panera for late lunch/early dinner, Barnes & Noble, and to see Up in the Air.  It was my first time out since we got home from the hospital Monday afternoon and I'm worn out.

We did enjoy the movie, though, and I bought two books:  The Monsters of Templeton by Lauren Groff, which was recommended by one of my young book group friends, and Unfinished Desires, the newest novel by my favorite author, Gail Godwin.

Favorite 103 year old moment:  we sang Happy Birthday and then the woman's great granddaughter leaned in to her and shouted, "You should thank all these people for coming to your party."  The 103 year old looked befuddled for a moment and then asked, "Will all these people be coming to the party?"  ;)

Today I was art hunting for a couple places in the office.  I stopped at a friend's studio and was considering the same painting I've looked at many many times, but just wasn't sure about the investment right now.  So I found something for my office at a flower shop and was looking around when he called and said he had spoken to his wife and wanted to give me the painting because he'll be out of the country at the time of my open house.  I was flabergasted.  It was the last thing I expected.  They came over and hung it on the wall for me. 

Here's the before and after. It's called String of Souls
