I may have read it on jury duty. I always took a book I'd never read with me since so much of the day is waiting around. One year I took the unabridged Les Miserables, another it was the then-new biography of Oscar Wilde by Richard Ellman. I believe I was reading that when we were sequestered.

What in the HELL?

This is sad news. I always liked his work, and I especially loved his horror film Frailty. I should watch that again.

Oh, no!

He was recently on The Late Late Show with James Corden and talked about being married to his wife for 32 years. It was very sweet.

It's a gray day, and I don't fell like do anything at all. Unfortunately there are some things that must be done. We'll see which one wins.

I'm up, I'm up - a bit over ten hours of sleep, which I really needed.

Good afternoon.

It is indeed quite gray here today. Hopefully a nice bit of rain is in our near future.

The sun came out. Crud.

Page two? Really? On Oscar Bash day?

I just watched nearly four hours of Cousin Bette. It was quite wonderful.

I had forgotten some of the plot details, like the ancient, sinister poisoner Madame Nourrisson, and Victorin's hiring her to stop his father-in-law's marriage to Mme. Marneffe, the conniving whore with a heart of ice played by Helen Mirren. It's such a fantastic soap opera of revenge Not as good as The Count of Monte Cristo, but close.

I decided to be VERY adventurous today and am currently making Margaret's Chicken - the Ritz cracker thing. It's in the oven, baking away - made three chicken breasts but not sure I'll eat all three because that would be piggish. Then again... The calorie count for the breasts is very low - six hundred for all three - the Ritz crackers add another 200, then there's melted butter and about two ounces of shredded cheddar cheese - so even if I ate all three, which I doubt I will, it's still well within what I can eat and lose weight with.

Hi everyone -

I'm sitting here in a Panera killing some time between my Spelling Bee rehearsals. We have 2 runs today, and it's a little far for me to go home and check on the DD's - which are doing fine - so I decided to chill and maybe catch up on some things.

bk - I'm glad you got to see your brother and family. For some reason, I thought you were not on speaking terms, but I'm glad nonetheless. Family is important.

Chicken is still cooking - should have been ready twenty minutes ago - my oven is so wonky it never heated itself to 350 despite saying it had so I bumped it up to 375 - Margaret said I also should have pounded the breasts to make them thinner - this I didn't know - I assume at some point it will be cooked.

bk · « **Reply #46 on:** February 26, 2017, 03:34:49 PM »

Okay, no posts since my last post? Seriously? I can just end this apparently very uninteresting Oscar Bash right now.

bk · « **Reply #47 on:** February 26, 2017, 03:35:36 PM »

Chicken not as good as Margaret's due to faulty oven - impossible to tell when it was cooked so it was a bit dry - still good, though and I did eat all three breasts, since they weren't all that big.

Once upon a time, Oscar day was so much fun. Now everyone would rather make with the snappy remarks on Facebook. Well, so be it.

Today's matinee if Playhouse Creatures is going well, as usual.

The audience is enjoying it all and responding appropriately.

That's VERY good!

There was one person who had preordered tickets online, but never showed up.

I took a very quick trip to Las Vegas.

I called, but could only leave a message. Oh, well. We got her money.

I met friends from California. We saw Cher Friday night. I enjoyed the show very much. My first time.
