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.

Well, God alone knows what the fat hell Warner Archive has done with my shipment of the 1936 SHOW BOAT. Last week, they sent me my tracking number for a UPS shipment. UPS says it was delivered to the Pst Office on Friday for Monday delivery. The US postal tracking site claims they don't have it, only "Electronic Shipping Info Received." So, what the hell?

I imagine Kate, Jane, and Jennifer are reading.

I had just returned from my book discussion gathering.  It was an extra interesting discussion on "Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity".  DR Ginny I suggest you look into this as a possible read for your group.  It is an emotionally difficult book to read as it is nonfiction, yet it might be the most beautifully written nonfiction book I have ever read.

Had a very good work session with Sandy and Lanny.  Prior to that, I was up at six feeling quite nauseous, didn't fall back asleep until eight-thirty and slept forty-five more minutes until the telephonic device rang - the publisher telling me book has been vetted and is fine and is now in production.  I have the same production person I normally have, so this part should really only take two or three days.

Then we had some food.  We've chosen sixteen songs for the CD.  I think we'll probably end up with one less.

Shortly I'll go see if I have any packages, then I have my four o'clock meeting, then I'm home and I'll watch some more House of Cards via Netflix - I do hope it remembered where I was.

Tonight, it's an orchestra rehearsal for a production of The Wizard of Oz in which I am the string section.  Covering, what might be the industries most unplayable synthesizer book - which is all the string parts on one page (basically copied out of the P/C).  I've made it easier by using two keyboards (stacked) and Mainstage (a keyboard programming program from Apple).  It's almost playable now.  Reading it (as it's manuscript) is a little more difficult.
