Well, you've read the notes, the notes were in glorious Technicolor, and now it is time for you to post until the Technicolor cows come home.

Found a dead magpie outside the house this morning. Looks like one of the local cats had got it. Not my cat of course - Daisy wouldn't dream of hurting a bird.

I am so excited to hear the good report on BONJOUR TRISTESSE.....the movie NOT the brassiere company.

I am on the email list, so I am sure I will get a notice when it is available.....I am saving my $$$ since it will be $30 or more.....but it is one of my favorite movies.....EVER!

Even Mr David Niven's usual silly ass performance is on key with the story....and as MR BK mentions Mylene Demongeot is beautiful and is GREAT in her role. Deborah Kerr is....Deborah Kerr. Jean Seberg is so beautiful as is Geoffrey Horne who plays her sometime boyfriend.... The story.....the photography....the music.....it's all right there.....

I saw you fly over DR CHAS SMITH!

Yes, when there is a prediction of more than an inch of snow around here, you cannot go into ANY store and find milk or Charmin.

This is Annette's house on the corner.....but doesn't her daughter live a bit down the street? According the Google Street view the house is/or used to be white and orange. When Rita who took this picture in the late 1970's was there, a young couple not related to Annette lived there...but they could have been renting.

Today is the day.....yes today is the day. The stars are arriving from New York to join our happy band of witch hunters in Salem - Mass NOT Or.

Here is an interview that David gave back in March that is interesting.....kind of long....so unless you care you don't have to bother clicking on the link. I think I will take my camera, but I probably won't take pictures unless someone else is....I will wait until we have known each other a few days.....

MR BK knows that I like taking photos.

Good morning, all! I slept very late, and my shoulder is indeed better today. Last night, before I went to bed, I took a muscle relaxor and industrial strength ibuprofen. Once I passed out, I slept quite nicely.

I am out of coffee! I am not happy about such news, and a bit angry at myself for not checking stock yesterday when I finished what was in thefridge. So, i have to go out and I'd rather stay in.

I am debating a trek to Toyland, but I think I will stay here and try to tidy this mess. I will be glad when this new refrigertor is delivered, since a lot of the mess is frm the kitchen area.

Good morning, all.

This really sucks with the storm and all. We're pretty well prepared, but I mainly hope for no long power outages like last year. That was the worst ever, and mine was only out for 30 hours, not a week or longer.

I also mainly hope that the clash of weather systems doesn't happen and that we don't get snow or ice. I think everyone was shocked at how much damage that can cause when it comes "out of season".

Governor Cuomo has announced that the MTA will begin a shutdown of the subway and commuter rail service in New York City beginning at 7pm tonight. Some news sites are saying there will then be no service until sometime Wednesday.

Here's the official notice:

NYC To Close Transit System

The MTA has been directed by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to begin an orderly shutdown and suspension of all subway, bus and commuter railroad service at 7 p.m. Sunday. The decision was made to protect customers, employees and equipment from the wrath of Hurricane Sandy as the strong storm continues its march up the east coast. MTA Chairman and CEO Joseph J. Lhota announced that service on NYC Transit subways will be curtailed beginning at 7 p.m., and the bus network within the following two hours. Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Railroad will start their finals trains by 7 p.m. from terminal locations. Subway and rail road stations will be closed after the last trains pass through stations. Outbound Access-A-Ride trips are being scheduled only until 12 p.m. today, and return trips will continue until 5 p.m. Any previously scheduled trips after that time, including subscription trips, are canceled. Customers are advised to adjust their plans and travel early in the day as possible and not wait until the last train or bus. Anyone who does not leave for their destination before 7 p.m. runs the risk of being stranded when service is suspended.

Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North will also suspend service at 7pm. Bridges and tunnels will remain open tonight unless wind speeds exceed 50 mph. The PATH system has not yet made any closure announcement.

Also found three (count'em) Kritzerland CDs waiting for me. I knew THE RAINS OF RANCHIPUR was coming, but couldn't remember what else was on order. They were THE GHASTLY LOVE OF JOHNNY X and THE GEISHA BOY. Lots of great listening ahead of me. And viewing. And reading. All those lovely things that require power.

Winter time has started so all the clocks have gone back an hour - or at least they would if I could figure how to change the time on my digital watch. At least the mornings will be lighter for a time. I hate getting up in the dark.

Good morning, all.

Cedar pollen swept in with a vengeance yesterday and practically wiped me out. I now have a small fever from it, and I had to take a benedryl (not my favorite) in order to open my sinuses in order to get some sleep. And I overslept, if you can call it that, this morning. Maybe my sleep was so off, it was delayed a few hours. My body needs to adjust, and the first few days are always terrible.

Vibes for everybody else.

I was pleasantly surprised to find my normal seasonal allergies were absent in California. Frankly, I don't even remember if I was bothered much by that kind of thing when living out there. But then yesterday morning, by the time I was in the airport terminal, I noticed my nose and eyes running like a gazelle. A simple Benadryl would have taken care of it, and even helped me nap better on the plane, but I thought of that too late. Maybe it was the lack of sleep more than actual allergies, because I feel fine today.

Just heard from my sister in Richmond, Va. They are entertaining the likelihood of being without power for weeks, if the storm hits as predicted. So, even with a backup generator to keep her insulin chilled and the like, who knows what to expect. She will only use her cell phone in case something bad happens, so I'm hoping to have to hear from her if they do lose power.

Maybe all that recycled air on the plane had something to do with it.

Anthony's mother told us to make sure our cell phones are charged but we have a land line so unless something really, really bad happens we will have phone service and we won't have to depend on the cell phone.

When I went over to meet BK to go out to dinner last week I completely forgot to ask which was the Annette house. Which street is that one on? (BK's house is on the corner.)

The neighborhood is LOVELY, btw, really just ideal -- or as ideal as any nice neighborhood can be as long as the McMansion developers can be held in check. Actually, held in jail would be nicer.

In fact, I think Studio City is the best place in the Valley, period. Much more about all of that when I get some more storm prep done and can begin my ketchup here ..... may the power be with us. (The more power, the more posting.)

I've been to market, and I removed all of the DVDs and clutter sitting in my window sill. One of the neighbors has posted all over the building requests that we clean off anything sitting on our fire escape, but I've had nothing out there since the bird mite/bed bug mess of 2008.

I really have no idea how grisly this will be, so I'm going to settle in for the duration. There's always the exception, but every time this has happened in the past 33 years that I've lived in Manhattan, the preparation and warning exceeds the situation and the outer boroughs bear the brunt of it. I'm hoping that I am correct again. I hope DRvixmomis prepared foranother flooded cellar.

Suggested music for the day:
The Typhoon portion of THE RISE AND FALL OF THE CITY OF MAHAGONNY
The storm scene from PETER GRIMES
The hurricane sequence from PORGY AND BESS

Take care all our East coasters....they're saying now it could have an impact through the Great Lakes. Crazy, hope they are exaggerating, but it's not sounding good.
