DR GINNY that's terrible.....go to another post office....oh....well....write the Postmaster General!

It has dawned on me this evening that the clerk gave me my tracking slip but not a receipt for the $4.05 I spent.  It would have had a customer satisfaction survey that I definitely would have filled out.

T.O.D.

Once again, nothing.

I'm beginning to think I've lost interest in watching new movies.  I don't go to theaters any longer.  I don't think I've rented more than 2 or 3 DVDs this year.  There's just nothing out there I care to see.

I watch certain shows on TV (e.g. those produced by Dick Wolfe), and occasionally an old movie in my large DVD library, but I really have no interest in anything recent.

Is it me, or are they just not making good movies any longer?

I’d rather watch — or rewatch — an old favorite than a superhero movie or something of that ilk.

I picked up a copy of Wild Strawberries last night. Haven’t seen it since I was in high school, but it’s been a treasured film of my past. May hold off watching it until the recuperating begins. It’s slow and I think I will be, too.

Sometimes I go back to an old movie that I loved; watch it again and am very disappointed.

That happened a couple months ago when I re-watched THE STUNT MAN with Peter O'Toole.

I loved that film when it came out.  Watched it several more times on DVD.

But, it had been 10-12 years since I'd watched it last and, this time it was disappointing.

Don't know why.  O'Toole was great fun.

I think with Stunt Man that the surprise factor was part of the joy that came with the first viewing. Event with a 20-year lapse, I remembered most of the surprises on the second visit and it as more about the performances than anything else.

After a great lunch, I had an atrocious Thanksgiving dinner tonight. It was at the dance studio and it was only turkey, not very creamy mashed potatoes, dressing that looked too dreadful to dry, a roll and gravy. Nothing else. No vegetable, no cranberry, no butter for the roll.

And I now have indigestion.

I've started watching Satyajit Ray's Indian version of Enemy of the People. Wonderful stuff.

Makes me wonder why nobody has done a Flint, Mich., version of this. Couldn't be more timely.

I think half the city seemed to have left town tonight. The traffic was just horrible.

Bottom line, I didn't really get up from my nap until 7:00 p.m.
