Well, you've read the notes, the notes paid attention ($8.92), and now it is time for you to post until the paid cows come home.

Well, I must go to bed very soon.  We lose an hour of sleep, this morning. :P is what I say.

Last night (the last post of yesterday, as a matter of fact), I wrote:

While I was watching TV, I was also printing CD booklets for some library CDs that I copied to replace a few of my stolen CDs.  Almost exactly five years ago.  It was May 2005...I found my eBay e-mails.  I bought 300 sheets of 11x17 matte photo paper very cheaply....

I must correct this travesty of grammar!  What I should have written (if I'd proof-read in time):

Today at 11:30 or so, I'm having brunch with my friend Margo at a restaurant in downtown Olympia.  The problem is that I don't remember which restaurant that we're going to because I'd never heard of nor been to this restaurant.  I'll just have to call her before I leave and hope that I can get a hold of her.

After that, I'm coming home and have no plans.  Maybe today I'll finally get my shelves put up.  We'll see.

Good morning, all! I know it's really 8 am and not 9 am so my body is rebellng in protest. I am off to Toyland for some work, and then perhaps back here for a nap.

I have nothing else to report, but I wil check in from Toyland.

Good morning!

Yes, I did my walk in the dark (street lights were on; otherwise, I couldn't have seen a thing), but it was just starting to get light as I got back to my home street. It'll take another couple of weeks to become fully light again for the walk. It was 39 degrees, but it felt good to be in the fresh air.

I do feel kind of tired losing that hour of sleep, and I hope I don't nod off during my work project today.

Today I'll be working on IN VANDA'S ROOM, another of the Pedro Costa films taking place in the slum ghetto of Fontainhas in Lisbon.

My biggest fear is the length of the film: 171 minutes! From what I understand, all of these films are done with the same slow, quiet, long take style that was in the film I watched last night, OSSOS. But it was 97 minutes, and this is almost TWICE that length! I have a feeling it's going to be a LONG afternoon. I'd LOVE to be proven wrong.

I do have a new BROTHERS & SISTERS tonight, but, of course, I won't see it until tomorrow.

NBC is starting a new game show tonight as well as the new season of CELEBRITY APPRENTICE. Certainly not interested in that.

CBS has new episodes of its shows also like AMAZING RACE and COLD CASE.

I liked THE NEVERENDING STORY when I reviewed it at the theater all those years ago. I don't think I've seen it since.

I'm going to head down and watch this week's episode of SPARTACUS before I start cooking lunch. Can't eat while watching the show due to its visceral violence.

I'll likely watch the CASTLE rerun while I eat lunch.

And the word of the day is: LACUNA!

And The Song Of The Day Is: THERE'S A LULL IN MY LIFE

One of my favourite songs. I have a great version with Harry Richman singing it.  One with Alice Faye, I believe one with Buddy Clark, and a recent terrific version with Johnny Crawford and his 1920's dance band.

I've worked with her: God gave her the voice of an angel and the brain of a peanut. When she's not in control, she's not pretty.
