Harryhausen fans may be interested to know that niche label Legend Films has released two of Ray's early (as in 1930s) pieces on Blu.  I haven't gotten my screener yet, but my review should be up sometime in the next week.

When I arrived at work, I had a number of packages awaiting me, all of which were expected.  And then there was one that puzzled me.  It was large, it was heavy and it was from a person I do not know.  WHAT could it be?  It was well-wrapped and took a great deal of effort to open.

After much unwinding of bubble wrap, I found another box.  GEEZ! I thought.

But on the side of the box were words that brought all into focus:

It was la cocotte à pommes Anna that I had ordered a week or so back.   The outer box had been marked EXTREMELY FRAGILE, so I thought it was something that would easily break.

The cocotte is heavy copper and it's gorgeous.   I don't know how long I'll be able to hold out trying it out.  I could eat some potatoes Anna even using only the left side of my mouth.  But I want to savor the dish, as well.

DR elmore - Do you know Rob Vuono? He's been our re-orchestrator/fixer and he's done some fine work for us. I believe he used to be with one of the service bands down here.

The allergens seem to be heavy, heavy, heavy this morning.

But we've had enough rain recently to have me arrange for the lawn to be cut. I hope I've left for work before he gets here.

I have to cover my face as not to breathe in freshly mowed grass.

DR Jane, I won't know my place for CATCH ME until the book comes out :(

Reading your post for some reason reminded me a question my mom asked me yesterday. She asked if i could remember the name of an author that her and I both read. That might have been a mystery. And that the same character was in all the books.

I asked her if she had anything more to go on than that. But she didn't. :)

If you don't know your place for CATCH ME how can you make sure they don't skip you again ;)

As for your mother's question ;D.  I guess it was worth a try you might have guessed it.

The view east this morning:




Yes, that confirms my suspicions.   There is a mist that is rapidly covering the United States, moving east to west.  There is nothing alive inside the mist...nothing human, at any rate.  It's just a matter of time before it swallows up the West Coast.

And then...oblivion.

You're actually righter than rain (and why is rain right, I might ask?).  The mist has been moving west and it has enveloped most of the house by this time.

Variety reports that Stephen Schwartz has sold a show to ABC Productions, co-created and co-written by Five For Fighting's lead guy (whose name I can't remember).  It's a semi-musical series about two sisters, one of whom is a famous singer-songwriter and the other who has forever been in her shadow.  Sounds a bit like Babs and Ros to me.

Returning to work this morning.

Pain is under control (i.e. being averted).

Right side of my face is puffed considerably. I was told that this would happen and that yesterday and today would be the worst of it.

Sigh.

DR JoseSPiano:  You asked me what "kind" of implants I'd be getting.  I don't know how to answer that.  I have the back molar on the upper right side.  The replacement/implanted teeth will be implanted in the area on the left of that upper molar.   One of them was crowned by a previous dental establishment.  Within six months of that crowning, an abscess occurred.  It was so painful I insisted it be pulled.  It was the last time I went to that dental establishment.  That was the tooth next to the back molar.   A year or so back, the tooth next to that "gap" broke at the root. 

It's hell getting older.

Sigh.

~~~Continued Vibes for DR Ron!!~~~
