I am getting ready for my children's story tomorrow.

So very tiresome!

I finished ABSENCE OF MALICE when I went back down. I've always enjoyed this movie, and I'm surprised something more drastic wasn't done to the Sally Field character by her boss since she did breach her journalistic ethics by revealing a source just because of pity (which, of course, allowed her to be made a fool of later in the film.)

Next, I watched this week's episode of SPARTACUS. I really can't stand the bitchiness of the female characters: very caricaturish and predictable now. If it weren't for all of the GORGEOUS eye candy in view, I'd drop this show, but one must have his carnal pleasures, I guess.

I haven't watched an episode of CSI (the original show) in over two years, but since I had time tonight (and no time for another film), I pulled up the latest CSI episode from HD On Demand. One of the guest stars was the child actor from HEROES who's grown into a midteen now. A story of teenage murder, it was only moderately interesting. Jorja Fox has rejoined the show (still billed as a guest star), and Laurence Fishburne is very dull as the replacement for William Petersen.

Once again, I have no clue what movies I'll watch for my day off tomorrow. I'd like to get another from the to-watch bookcase and maybe a Blu-ray for the afternoon, and then a lengthier one for tomorrow evening, possibly FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD.

Thanks again to one and all for the thoughts, prayers, and condolences. They are most appreciated.

Viewing on Monday.....funeral at 11 a.m. on Tuesday. Always a bit disconcerting to attend services and burial in the places that are already set for yourself some years hence.

I am not a seller on EBAY.

I won an auction while at work. I can't read my COMCAST email while at work. There was NO mention of Invoice or problems. Trying to be a good winner....about ten minutes later, I used PayPal to pay for the item & shipping.

When I get home a few hours later, I find the seller telling me that shipping was more than I paid, and that PayPal is telling him something is "not Available" to print out the label. I guess because the shipping amount is different. I sent him an additional PayPal payment for the difference but he tells me it is still "unavailable" and I don't know what the hell he's talking about since the payment has been made.

Can some seller tell me what the hell he's talking about? I have emailed PayPal about the problem....but who knows when I will hear from them.

I've never sold anything there either, so I can't be of any help, but that CERTAINLY is infuriating. Sounds like he's either trying to bilk you or back out of the deal. Neither is acceptable!

Now I'm going to head downstairs and see if I can get some sleep. I'm still reading "The Blind Mice," but it's going slowly because I've been SO tired when I've gotten into bed that I haven't been able to read but a few pages. I think I'm only page 25 of a 72-page story.

Good night!

I think I just paid too quickly, DR MATTH - if I had waited an couple of hours until I got home, I would have had the right total, I think.

I reluctantly just called the PayPal helpline and surprisingly enough they were very helpful - and will be sending the seller an email telling him how to print the label manually.

I have to tell a children's story at church tomorrow. I better come up with something.

The Biblical tale of David and Bathsheba is always entertaining.

Samson & Delilah are also good for a few laughs.

... both her and her husband were a bit saddened that they bothered to have the first black princess. Yet the character was barely in the movie.

Not true. Tiana was clearly the heart and soul of the film - wearing black skin does not define her character.

Good Evening!

It was a long day.

It was a good day.

It was a long day.

And I have another one tomorrow.

In less than 10 hours, in fact, so...

I do have to say that I had a wonderful time working with Brad Oscar today. -And once Kate Baldwin joins us on Monday, it will be like a mini-Arena Stage reunion at the Library of Congress. I'm looking forward to the laughs and hugs.

Lunch at SAIGON was delicious. I had Lemongrass Chicken and Jim had Pho. The elderly asian couple who run the place were delightful and very friendly. My worry is that they use MSG. I have a terrible headache which even a 2 hour nap has not taken away.

Jim and I plan to indulge in SAIGON's weekday buffett soon, so if I get another headache I will know if it was or was not the food, I guess.

DR MBarnum - I seem to have become MSG-sensitive over the past few years myself. However, I also have to make sure that I'm not eating too much seaweed - especially when it comes to some Japanese and Korean soup-bases. MSG is derived from seaweed, so... In any case, drinking something with caffeine tends to help counteract the effects of MSG - mainly since the caffeines makes it metabolize faster through your system. -At least in my experience.

Cillaliz, that's such a wonderful thing. Given our penchant for old houses, we treasure information like this, and spend a lot of time searching for it.

It is very exciting. I've known the information for a while through the articles and letters that Carol wrote for the former owners, but I am so glad I called today. It was so fun to hear the little stories, like where they put the Christmas tree, how her mother had a path of stepping stones where the driveway is now and it was lined with lilac bushes, that her father would grill burgers on the stone grill in the back yard and they would eat in the gazebo (she called it the tea house). She said the hard wood floors were her mother's pride and joy and so much more. I really should sit down tonight and try to type up the whole conversation before I forget all the stories.

TOD: I love a lot of Randy Newman songs. Marie is really one of my favorites as is the song that was the closing theme to Cold Turkey... He Gives Us All His Love.. I don't think that's the name of it, but that's the chorus.

Saturday.

Thank you to all who provided vibes for my Aunt Betty yesterday.

As expected, she passed away about 6 a.m. this morning.

My condolences, JRand.

I did take this photo last month (been waiting for the new computer to share it). I use the orange toy as an arm rest during my exercises. As soon as I'm done Sherlock likes to pile more toys on top & reclaim it.

It looks like he's trying to bite the head off a lamb!!!
