I'm up, I'm up. Barely.

I think I got close to eight hours of sleep.

I haven't seen Atlas Shrugged Part 3 yet, but I will probably get it on Blu Ray.....

I was very disappointed that they moved the time frame up to NOW.....but I understand the budget reasons for it.....and then of course as MR BK mentioned, there are the cast changes.

And a key event was Dagny trading her diamond bracelet for a bracelet made of Reardon steel, and for some reason in the movie, it was a necklace that she traded.....no real reason for the change. Maybe they had a necklace in the prop room.

DRs Cillaliz and JRand64, I appreciate your thought on the Mekeel situation. I do realize that he needed serious help and the friendship we had thirty years ago was a completely different one than it would be now.

Sadly yes. This is something that would haunt me, always wondering if I had only said something that would have made a difference, even while knowing it wouldn't have.

BOYHOOD kept getting better and better as it went along. I ended up liking it a lot, too. This has been a good year for movies......

That is how I felt about it.

We are cleaning out junk today. Keith is in the garage organizing what is to go with the guy who will shortly be here to haul the difficult junk away.

It's a mess....and her defense has cost DR LAURA more the $2.5 million dollars so far.

And if she is sentenced to death, it will cost millions more for an appeal.

Good morning.

Re Jodi Arias and the legal system: I believe enough time has elapsed that I am eligible for another jury summons. I seem to get one every time my time is up.

Jane · « **Reply #39 on:** January 11, 2015, 09:31:23 AM »

The hauler is half an hour early. Keith doesn't think he has enough room to take everything.

Jane · « **Reply #40 on:** January 11, 2015, 09:31:59 AM »

I am very excited the garage is getting cleaned out. We can then begin filling it with more junk

Jane · « **Reply #41 on:** January 11, 2015, 09:32:21 AM »

Back to cleaning cabinets and drawers inside the house.

TCB, you can make chili however you want.

I brought two cans of Skyline back with me when I went to Kentucky. i thought I was going to be stopped at the airport and charged with polluting Texas, but nobody said a word.

Note to self: starting next trip, add Skyline supplies to the Vernors and Graeters contraband.

It's a good thing I drive over for those visits. I can fill the back seat and cargo area. Yes sirree! Bring it on!

This poor jury was told the trial would end by December 18 - but now it looks to go past February.

Do convicted criminals who are sentenced have to pay for their own appeals, or do they still qualify for public assistance?

Jrand74 · « **Reply #45 on:** January 11, 2015, 10:25:04 AM »

DR JANE - that is the only thing that compels me to throw away stuff now and then....the possibility that then new stuff can be added to the collection.

Jane · « **Reply #46 on:** January 11, 2015, 10:31:46 AM »

LOL DR Jrand.

The guy, or guys as he brought a helper, are leaving. Apparently they fit everything that was ready to go into the truck and trailer they hauled up here. Keith is now sweeping the garage.

All too true. It's never my intention when starting a purge, but it never takes long to refill the space.

DR CILLA LIZ - the defense team for Jodi A. has been outrageous in its behavior during the mitigation phase of the sentencing trial. They are basically retrying the case in front of the new jury. Shouldn't the judge stop their antics? If it doesn't go to mitigation, should it be allowed.

Their witnesses are defiant of the judge and the prosecutor. Now they are asking for a mistrial because they say they have 13 witnesses who are too afraid to testify. Arias herself gave SECRET testimony for a day and half - no press no public no cameras - the Arizona Supreme Court finally ruled on Friday that that was not legal and that those transcripts must be released. No word on whether she will continue to testify, but if she doesn't, that testimony will be stricken, I assume.

Defense team has also charged prosecutor misconduct saying that they erased evidence from the victim's computer while it was in the property room of the local police department.....they have a couple of wacky computer scientists who are trying to prove that. They want all charges dropped - even though she has been convicted on murder one with premeditation and heinous actions.

It's a mess....and her defense has cost DR LAURA more the $2.5 million dollars so far.

I didn't even know they were friends
