If anybody has 10 spare seconds could you click this link and then go down the page and click on Dimitri (he is up against Will).

It's a big YA book showdown (I think it may end tonight at midnight). Richelle Mead is one of my favorite authors. If Dimitri wins she is going to write some stuff from her books in his POV. I want this!

Thanks. It's basically now a popularity contest between the two authors. They are both pretty popular but I think the other author (Cassandra Clare) is more popular. But it's so close!

Watching "Gypsy." I haven't seen this in ages. Natalie Wood is spectacular. Roz Russell is horrible. It didn't have to be Ethel, but it should have been somebody who was not so, so blank.

Back from a three-mile jog.  Had a good meeting, and the cutest kids were selling lemonade on my corner, so we all went out there and purchased their various items, from lemonade to brownies to little homemade bracelets.  The two kids, of course, want to be in show business.  The mom is very nice - they all live right down the street.  Since the youngest daughter is thirteen, I gave her a copy of Murder at the School Musical.

The trouble I have with those French actors is that I can never understand a word they say.

Look what I just received from eBay:



These are actual postage stamps, but you'll notice that on the side they say, "US LOCAL POST."  Doing a little (very little) research, evidently local towns and post offices can create their own local postage stamps, but they can't be used to mail things outside of their area.  I don't know what town/post office that these were made for, but I actually got these on eBay from Australia.  Whooda thunk it?

Strange, because in the U.S., a person has to be dead for 10 years (or some such time) before he or she can appear on a postage stamp -- with the exception of presidents. At least that used to the rule.

Just finished watching the TV version of the Fantastiks with Susan Watson, Ricardo Montalban, John Davidson, Bert Lahr and Stanley Holloway. Great cast, but the show was cut down to an hour and everything seemed a little rushed. Not as good as that cast would lead to think it would be.

As far as I know, that still true...but those are for regular (national) US stamps.  I haven't done much research, but I would think that if you can make your own local stamp, you can make your own local image rules.  Just a thought.

I'm going to send a message to the eBay seller and hopefully he/she will have more information. :)

Get me off this damn page.  I watched a bit of a Truffaut movie I'd TIVOd but am not feeling motivated to watch the rest or anything else.  So, I'm just listening to music and I may write the notes a little early and schedule them so they post right at midnight, so I can get to bed.

I loved the paperback cover, BK, but it didn't look to me that the hot pants were on the homo (God I hate that word).
