And on that note (F#), I'm going home. I don't have to go shopping or anywhere else, so I can just go right home.

Until later.

Starting a French animated movie called Fantastic Planet. Haven't seen it before. I like the fact that speak slowly and fairly simply, so I can understand a lot of what they're saying without having to read the subtitles.

I just bought the region-B Blu-ray from BK last month. I haven't had time to watch it yet, what with me being in a show and with a lot of TV watching to ketchup on, too.

I think you'll enjoy it. I can imagine people back in the day getting high to it.

On the phone with a supervisor from UPS - the poor idiot gal I got first made the bad mistake of lying to me so I removed her head and then she transferred me. I don't actually think this was ever out for delivery today despite what the UPS site says - the green portion only says "in transit" whereas the out for delivery part of the progress bar isn't green. But it also clearly states the delivery date is today. Turns out they never put it and a ton of other packages on the truck. My guy took it all the way to the top supervisor who guaranteed it will be out for delivery tomorrow but they can't guarantee me what time it will arrive. THIS is why I loathe UPS - they just don't care. Big volume is the excuse but in case they haven't noticed Christmas was three days ago.

Re the trash:
When I lived in Santa Monica many years ago, I discovered that our trash cans were completely full, whereas the neighbor's was half empty, so I used his can. He came out, screaming at me. I explained the situation and that I didn't want to leave the trash, which was neatly tied up in a plastic bag, on the ground where critters could get to it. Apparently he recognized me then and apologized. I couldn't understand why anyone would get upset at someone who was trying to do the responsible thing by stowing their trash in a garbage can. I get upset at people who DON'T stow it.

Surely there is room, on this day of Joy of Mr. Joio, for Joy of Mr. Joyboy.

I love the MISS FISHER mysteries. I was hoping for another season, but Essie Davis has moved to London, so it's doubtful. A feature film sounds more likely. Her timing seems strange. In the US, I don't think she was well-known until she did MISS FISHER.

I stopped at Whole Foods Market today after therapy, looking for something they didn't have. I noticed they make cronuts (croissant donuts) now, so I tried one. So-so, as far as I'm concerned. Not worth the calories.

After a couple weeks of COLD weather, I may have to turn on the AC.

It was in the 80s here today. It's still 69 degrees at almost 10 p.m.

Delta Rae, a folk group, has done a lovely cover of "Asheville" from "Bright Star."

It's been a long day and I have a doctor's appointment early in the morning. Hopefully some answers will be forthcoming.

Anyway, I'm off to bed.

I do not understand anyone who would use someone else's garbage cans when they clearly do not live in the neighborhood. I don't get it. It came from no house near me.

Have finished with David Diamond (wonderful stuff) and am now listening to one of the CDs that arrived today - early 1960s recordings of the suites to Khachaturian's great Spartacus and Gayene ballets. Sound is great.

Page six isn't so bad.

Isn't it funny that the two most well-known pieces from Gayene have been used in two classic motion pictures (and others, too) - the Sabre Dance for Billy Wilder's One, Two, Three and the adagio used in 2001: A Space Odyssey. The Sabre Dance is unbelievably brilliant writing.

I am stunned by Debbie Reynolds passing.

I thought about watching MOLLY BROWN today, but I didn't feel up to it.

I guess maybe I will watch it this weekend.
