Commercials have been removed from the TV show for my niece. :)

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

And now, I'm off to bed.  Nothing special happening at work...just the usuals.

Have a good day, all!

I lost too much time yesterday trying to reconstruct the Opera browser I managed to destroy.  I think I have bookmarked all the important sites I use regularly there.

Ann's partner Jen did me a huge favor and assembled a wheeled cart I purchased on Amazon.  I asked her to do it for two reasons: I'm really a mechanical moron and I know the cats would lose the parts while I tried to assemble it.  Today I'll stock it with the canned goods, pay some bills, work on an orchestration for fun, an d play with the cats.

Annabelle has been quite picky about eating for the past two days.  She's turned down all Fancy Feast dishes and only eaten dry food out of my hand.  Thatch didn't mind because after he finishes gis meal, he eats Annabelle's and Stella's leftovers.  But this morning . . . Missy joined her siblings for some salmon and shrimp and ate all of hers.

Last night, I finished writing the first draft of the 30th play in THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS Collection. 

It should be available in paperback and on Kindle sometime next month. 

And, I think I've already found the right actress to do the audio version.

I probably have a couple of recordings, but I think Barbirolli is a conductor I know almost nothing of.

Was there a Jack in the Box on the west side of Fairfax, a block or two north of Johnie's and the May Company, in the early 1970s?

In my first year or so in L.A. I might have tried a cheeseburger at that or another location, and wasn't much impressed. I more or less thought of it as a third-rate chain until the early or mid-1980s. I'd moved to Redondo Beach to work in our office in Torrance, and sometime in that period they were advertising their then-new Breakfast Jacks. I tried one and was blown away by it. I couldn't get enough of those.

At that time the deluxe one was called the Crescent Supreme (they didn't say "croissant" then), with egg, ham, bacon, and I believe three kinds of cheese. It was to die for. It was such a favorite that when I'd been without Jack in the Box while living in Chicago later, the first thing I did on returning to L.A. in late 1986 was to get one of those back in my mouth. It was still to die for.

In all of those years I was only ever at two locations -- Hawthorne Blvd. near PCH in Torrance, and the one in the "Brown Derby" strip mall on Wilshire in the late 80s. And maybe the one near the museum if I'm remembering that right.

I regret to say I don't think I ever tried those tacos. That shall be rectified on a future visit to L.A.

His recording of Madama Butterfly with Renata Scotto is really brilliant.

DR JRand69, I know you liked the Mörbisch White Horse Inn.  Check out the chicken ballet at the beginning of their Countess Maritza!

DR Elmore, are you referring to the Opera browser? If so, do you like it better than Safari or others?

I've had equally weird things happen suddenly. And I don't always place the blame squarely on my own shoulders. I'm good with most software, but I firmly believe there should be safeguards that keep extreme things from happening, which they do all too easily and all too often.

I've never had problems with Opera except for once: I had to move my online banking to Safari because I could no longer log on.  It essentially duplicates a lot of my Safari bookmarks so I can browse on one site while I read or work on another.

Yes, BK, the Fellini set looks amazing. Even though I have half the films already, I am going to have to get that one.

Went out for margaritas and tacos last night with some high school/college friends. It was fun. I was socially distant.

Had a very good Baja fish taco with fried cod and an even better corn tamal topped with carnitas and crema.

An excellent interview with Alan Menken about the documentary Howard.
