So apparently Christmas is on but New Year's Eve is cancelled here.  People are allowed to gather (up to 10 people) on Dec 24, 25, 26, 27. But no office parties and no New Year's Eve. Everything else (restaurants, gyms, movie theatres, bars) stay closed till January 11th. I actually don't really care about any of those four things (as take out is still open and i was not comfortable eating in a restaurant anyways). But I am not thrilled about not being able to go in my sister's house.  I feel like many people are probably doing what they want while trying to be careful.  It's going to get so cold between now and January 11th. So visiting outside is not super practical. :(

Although for some reason it is supposed to be 60F today. yet our first snowstorm (of only maybe 2 inches) is scheduled for Sunday. Yeah for today. Not happy about the possibility of snow.

My cousin called about half an hour ago and said that her mom decided that since they were going to spend the morning at the doctor's office - they probably shouldn't come over.

I wasn't sad......and didn't suggest an alternative.......  So I don't have to worry about company today!  Hurray!

I loved INVADERS FROM MARS - saw it first on the Friday Night Late Show....on Channel 8.

We lived in the country and there was a hill and a fence very similar to the one in the movie.....so I kept my eye on it for a long time.

I loved finally seeing it in color a few decades later.

It's always nice to be reminded of Invaders from Mars. And how rage inducing it is to be likewise reminded of Wade Williams and his deluded views of the corner of the world he inhabits.

The one brief period he was active on the HTF while I've been there, things started civilly but tense, and it quickly went south. It didn't take long for the proceedings to deteriorate thanks to his manner of communication and his twisted ideas on how the responsibilities of film preservation and restoration function in the real world. He ran people's patience and good will right into the ground before the conversation could get anywhere, then he got back into his carriage and huffed.

Having previously heard about the guy and his ways from BK and people like Bob Furmanek, it is nonetheless mind-blowingly infuriating to come face to face with the man and his words.

Jane, I’m finishing The Midnight Library first. In fact, I’m almost at the end.

The Connelly novel is good, and people will love it, but it may be too fast and furious for my mood this week.

DR George, Aristophanes' plays are neither sequels nor prequels, although if more existed, scholars might change their minds.  All were satirical or political comedies about aspects of Athenian life and the endless Peloponnesian War, and my favorite remains the bawdy, obscene, anti-war Lysistrata.  So The Birds, like Peace, The Clouds, The Wasps and others are not related to The Frogs.

Now, Vaughan Williams composed music for an Oxford production of The Wasps, which he turned into a concert suite, and Braunfels' opera The Birds was first performed in 1920.  It has nothing to do with Sondheim.

I didn't really think that they were related, but thanks for the info...very informative. :)

I did see a local production of a locally adapted version of Lysistrata, but I don't remember if I noticed at the time that Aristophanes had written it.

Today I am seriously thinking about taking Stella to the ACC and giving her up.  She just climbed onto the bookcase n ext to my computer table and brought down a shelf of books onto the table, breaking my printer in the process.  This is the second she's destroyed, and I'm too infirm and in too much pain to deal with moving furniture and cleaning the mess.  She's very lucky I couldn't get to my cane when all hell broke loose because I fear I might have beaten her to a pulp.

I am not happy at the moment.

Oh, no! :-\

The Midnight Library was perfect for my mood during these times.  I look forward to the Connelly book once it arrives.

I am sorry you can't be with your nieces.  Is this because there will already be 10 people there?  Is it possible for you to have a smaller gathering, on a different day, with just you?

Larry I think you should call them about Stella.  As difficult as it, is she probably needs a home where she can run more and get more exercise then she does with you.  It is possible you can be considered a foster while they find a home for her.  Talk to them and see what they say.  There also might be other cat rescue groups that take in fosters and can help you.
