Today I finished reading all of the urgent books that I have checked out from the library.  The rest can wait.

Hey, Jane, how are things in Vancouver, Washington?  Did I get that right?  One of us needs to change our name.  I see your name in the posts and think it's for me.  :)

A Star Is Born came into the library today. I'm really enjoying it so far. Best picture? .Hardly. But good old-fashioned entertainment it is.

Two of the books I'm reading are horrible. One is "The Woman in the Window." What was all the fuss about?

The other is "Rob Roy." It's the first Sir Walter Scott book I've read and may well be the last. I'm halfway in and next to nothing has happened, but some ugly anti-Catholic nonsense and thick Scottish brogue, which doesn't work in print very well.

Sadly, the script for A Star Is Born has fallen apart. Good performances, good direction, but bad, bad, bad cliches.

The movie is ended. It's easy to see why it lost everything but best song.

Back from a grueling dress rehearsal. But I now have to say that I am loving playing this show (A Chorus Line).

Tomorrow will be hell, with an afternoon Shrek rehearsal followed by the final ACL dress rehearsal. Not to mention, it's an hour's drive to the first, nearly an hour and a half from there to the second, and almost an hour's drive home close to midnight.

I made some pasta with red sauce for my snack - about four ounces, I think, maybe five.  It was good.  Hadn't had any food since 8:30 in the morning.

The original Vancouver, Vancouver Washington, was rather wet this evening.

As for your confusion for our names, I am the one weraring a hat while you are faceless one, something I think you need to rectify ;)

Depends if you enjoy the Elvis Cole books by Robert Crais.

I am surprised you haven't read Ivanhoe.

I am pleased you are loving the show. 

Safe diving tomorrow.

Before the internet I called the Magic Castle inquiring if there was a way to go with our young magician on his birthday.  The manager invited us as his guest for Sunday brunch.

Damn, Girl, you sure move a lot!  I was born here in L.A. and have lived in this house since 1972.  God, I'm old!

The last time I went to the Magic Castle I was dating a magician which means you become part of his act whether you want to or not.  I'm sitting there and he starts pulling scarves, balls, coins, etc. out of my hair, cleavage, even my shoes.  I learned real quick to wear turtlenecks, blouses buttoned up to the top.

Wow, the same house since 1972.  I think that is nice.  Where in L.A. are you?
