Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

Not to be too personal around here, but I did have the best date ever last night.  It's nice beginning an ADULT relationship with an ADULT without judgement or drama. 



Good for you!

I don't have the patience for it, but there is an online color acuity test here:
http://www.xrite.com/custom_page.aspx?pageid=77&lang=en

On the scale of 0 (best) to 99 (worst), I scored 12, and I was well aware while taking it that there were a couple of difficult areas.

I wanted a BLT, so I ordered one from the corner bodega along with a few groceries. The East Indian man who runs it is very nice but usually the young lady whose English is better answers the phone. So, I explained a BLT was bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo and a slice of American cheese on toasted whle wheat bread. The sandwich I got, which was quite tasty, was a BLT club, since it also included a lot of sliced turkey!

I took one look at the test and blacked out. I do not have the patience at the moment.

The postman delivered three birthday cards: one from DR Ginny, one from DR Jane, and one from my cousin. I liked them all, and all seemed quite apt for the sender!

It was a surprise but it was good!  I never once mentioned turkey while I was telling him what a BLT was.

I have the DVD.  And they didn't film "Growltiger's Last Stand," so what's the point?

Many years ago, I had the pleasure of sitting next to and chatting with Ray Bradbury.  It was at some dinner sponsored by a Sherlock Holmes group.  I was there to talk about Basil Rathbone, but I don't recall what Bradbury's connection to the group was.

I'm so jealous!

I love Ray Bradbury. Somewhere I have a huge anthology of his stories.  If I could dig it out, I'd read some of them again today. I do know where the DVD of MOBY DICK is, though, and its his screenplay , and I've never seen the film of SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES . . .

When I was in high school, I had a science fiction reading class (I think) and we watched that movie.  I was riveted.  At one point, someone behind me grabbed me as a joke and I jumped because I was so engrossed in the movie!  I haven't seen it since then.  Actually, I remember that moment more than the movie itself.

Someday I will remember to put DR Elmore's birthday on my calendar at home, and then I be much more likely to remember to send him a b'day card via the postal service.
