I still can't tell if I have a horrible cold or allergies. My nose is running like mad. I feel feverish, and I can't stop sneezing.

I just watched the Hammer HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN with Ralph Bates and Veronica Carlson, who mentioned in the accompanying interview that she now lives in Hilton Head. I could have met her tw years ago! The film was very funny at times, although I would think when you are dealing with an insane monster maker, one thing you should never do is suggest "I'm talking to the authorities." Three people died after saying that.

Last night they said on the national news that this week has been overly bad for allergies. Hmmm, can you be overly bad?

And now, I'm going to bed. I have been away from home since about 3:30 and I need to sleep. Today, I get to sleep in!

I hope you slept in. I would be lucky to sleep until 8:00.

Congrats on a fun and successful Toga night.

Thanks, Jane! I did get some sleep. I turned off my phone and didn't wake up until about 12:30.

I wish I could do that.

I just watched the first episode of Sherlock - now there is a show I can get behind - what fun and just as good as I've heard.

It took you long enough!

We love this series, especially the first episode and the last two episodes from this season.

There are several other DVDs that I've gotten, not remembering that I already owned them. I hate it when that happens.

You need to keep a list of what you own and then look at it before purchasing anything new.

I know if a ceiling dropped down in my living quarters I wouldn't feel to great from all the dust. I just hope it wasn't asbestos.

It's terrible, but this Facebook post made me laugh:
Mississippi has scheduled Michelle Byrom’s execution on Thursday for a murder she didn’t commit. Her son, Edward Byrom, has admitted to shooting and killing his father multiple times, none of which were ever disclosed into evidence.

Being killed once is bad enough, but multiple times must hurt!

Jane · « **Reply #98 on:** March 23, 2014, 04:18:26 PM »

I can see why you laughed even though it is a sad story.

What's worse is it's from a news report. Intelligent writing is a dying art.

I figured it was from a crummy little paper like my local one.

TAR will be delayed by 45 minutes.

When I checked CBS at 7 p.m. to see if 60 MINUTES was starting on time....there was 9 minutes and 42 seconds of an NCAA basketball game going on. It took them more than 35 minutes to play it.

Watching "Blue Jasmine." Don't like Cate Blanchett in it. Her performance seems to be as artificial as her Katharine Hepburn was in "The Aviator." Naturally, she won an Oscar for both.

I can read a book in the same amount of time it takes me to read each issue of The New York Review of Books.

I think that's her style, artificial. I would add that she leaves me cold and uninvolved in any of the characters she's played, even in the Lord of the Rings movies (which I'm not that big a fan of anyway-- the movies, that is).

Re: Cate Blanchett

Furthermore, on a tangential note, while some actors (re the above named) are feted for reasons unclear (at least to me), I also find it difficult to fathom some of the choices that were made for The Criterion Collection. I still do not understand the inclusion of Kevin Smith's "Chasing Amy" for both Kevin Smith and for the movie. He certainly, most definitely, and unequivocally, DOES NOT belong amongst the true greats that are in that supposed elect/choice series, just as Blanchett, I do not believe will stand the test of time as has the woman she portrayed, Katharine Hepburn (or Audrey Hepburn, for that matter).

I will now step down from my soap box.

I am off to bed. I've taken Tylenol, Chlortrimeton, and i hope they help me sleep. I will read a bit more of Alison Weir's history The Princes In the Tower for another 15 minutes or so and turn off the lights.

John G. · « **Reply #109 on:** March 23, 2014, 06:55:30 PM »

I'll disagree with you, DR Dan, on Kevin Smith and "Chasing Amy." Loved that movie, but I haven't seen it since it came out. I also loved "Clerks." And "Mallrats" was OK fun. I'm probably in a minority on this.

John G. · « **Reply #110 on:** March 23, 2014, 06:56:59 PM »

Second choice this evening is "Enough Said," with a very wonderful James Gandolfini.
