A third woman just happened to bring 3 dozen bagels so we cut this and put them out.

I was happy to do it for Sara but really annoyed by those who said they wanted to throw this soirée and then didn't actually do much.

If I had been asked to run thus I would have done do happily, but bring asked to "help" others and then being left to do 90 % on my own ticked me off

Last night I planned to watch the last episode if the BBC miniseries of And Then There Were None.  After 15 minutes or so, I decided I hated the production, although the cast was wonderful.  I had been feeling that since the first of the three episodes: too many flashbacks, too damned dark too often, the murders were often vaguely shown, and it didn't grab me like the book.  I'm not sure I like the BBC's current adaptation policies.  I feel they did them better several years ago.

So, I turned it off and wrote a story about Annabelle and Thatch instead.

I agree. Thought I might still watch the last 15 minutes just to see how depressing they could make it.

DR Laura, I think the angels said to Leonard, right over there, little boy; see that house?  That's the best place for you, so move your ass.

Ass-moving angels are the best.

Went to a charity brunch this morning for a young restaurant manager who was in a hit-and-run accident recently. Turns out she had been run over twice and left for dead or for someone to find her. She still faces a number of surgeries but they brought her out to be able to enjoy a little of the party in her honor.

To add to her woes, the hospital she was in decided it no longer wanted to take her insurance, so they kicked her out.

The food was exceptional, but the event had been underpublicized, so it wasn't as well attended as I would have liked.

Off in a few to usher for someone named Aida Cuervas. She's a mariachi artist who apparently has a large following. I've never heard of her.

I start reading Faust Part II this week. I also got a recording of Berlioz's opera from the library and a German film of the story. All I can say is Damnation!

Went to Gelson's and got some stuff - came home and made two hamburgers on low-cal buns - very good.  Listening to music.

Today's disgusting eBay story:  I'd had a very rare piece of illustration art up twice - and the second time I lowered the price and put a best offer on it with an accept any offer over the lowest I was willing to go, which was the usual twenty percent under what I was asking.  I got an e-mail from a guy - very interested, asking questions, all of which I'd answered.  He tells me he wants to make an offer.  Great.  Auction closes.  He e-mails and says he really wants to make an offer but he has to consult with the wife and can I please relist it.  I don't really want to at this point, but I do - for three days.  Meantime, I get another e-mail from someone else asking questions, which I answer - nothing from him again. 

Auction is one hour from finishing this morning.  First guy finally makes his offer, which is literally 80% less than I'm asking.  I'm surprised he didn't just ask me to give it to him.  I countered with my lowest price which was what I had on the Best Offer as well as asking him if he was really serious making an offer like that.  Needless to say, he strung me along for two weeks and never upped his stupid offer and the auction closed and I am never relisting it again.   I'm also somewhat convinced he was a dealer or gallery and had I sold it to him I guarantee you he would have been asking triple what I was actually asking for it.  I've had it.  I really though he was going to make me a reasonable offer and it would have certainly made life easier for the next few months.  But nooooo.

I had a wonderful visit with DR KevinH and Paul.  The breakfast was really really really (as Thatch would emphatically say) good!

I looked online and the restaurant looks good.

You have every right to be annoyed and I think you should tell them so.  While you are at it tell them how many hours a week you work.

OMG once is bad enough, but twice.  I am guessing they didn't find the person or people who did this.

I hope she was moved to a good hospital.
