I'm baking a lemon drizzle cake from Paul Hollywood's baking book for our board meeting today. Maybe King Charles will take us back?

Yum and

[Jane]

THREE!

[Jane]

My dental x-rays don't hurt, but my gag reflex sure doesn't like them.

I know about that.

[Jane]

I didn't get them this time and will do so at the next appointment.

I'm up, I'm up - six and a half hours of sleep.

Good to know the HHW vibes worked!

Yay.  Have fun.

It hasn't ended.  I just received my first text requesting money for a recount.  I forget which outcome it was for.

You know what hurts most about today? Knowing that 50% of this country supports a criminal, liar, rapist, racist, all-round shit and his rotten cronies. I'm not an elitist, but I thought that US citizens were smart enough not to buy anything from a snake oil salesman.

It came as quite a surprise to me several years ago, Elmore, that so many people are stupider than I am.

Have sort of gone my way through this day numbingly.

Had an appointment this morning for an upcoming colonoscopy (hoo-haw).

On my trip home, I stopped at a Chipotle to get one of their brisket specials they've been advertising, topped with a scoop of guacamole.

Once home, I began eating, and it is very tasy and spicy.  I have finished a quarter of it.  I guess I'll eat off it over the next couple of days.

TOD Redux:

Yesterday, BK asked for recommendations of films.

Today, I watched "84 Charing Cross Road", starring Anne Bancroft, Anthony Hopkins and Judi Dench.

I had read the novella by Helene Hanff back in the mid-80s and loved it very much.  The movie makes a good go of telling the tale and capturing the spirit of Hanff's relationship with Frank P. Doel of Marks & Co., antiquarian booksellers, located at 84 Charing Cross Road, London UK.

I recommend the book to all and one. The movie, too, if you can find it. I recorded it off TCM several weeks ago when they were airing films of Anne Bancroft.  It was aired in the early morning hours, as I recall, but it deserves greater exposure.

[Jane]

I love both the book and the movie.

[singdaw]

I'm not much in a posting mood, I'm afraid.

[singdaw]

Still kind of in shock.

[singdaw]

I think it's all my fault.

[singdaw]

Losing my glasses last night was a harbinger/metaphor for the election.

[singdaw]

I think.

[Freddie]

I'm not an elitist, but I thought that US citizens were smart enough not to buy anything from a snake oil salesman.

It's so hard to say who's a snake oil salesman in politics. 

[Freddie]

George Santos was something of a snake oil salesman, and savvy-feeling New Yorkers somehow elected him.

[Jrand74]

It's a down day.

I feel much the same as DR ELMORE.

[Jrand74]

My only solace right now is that those idiots around him will find out soon enough that he cannot be controlled.....he is an egomaniac who now believes himself to be above the law and in charge of EVERYTHING.....and he will listen to  no one.

That will be fun to watch as his cronies discover that he will discard them one by one.....messy......including EM.

[Freddie]

......including EM.

Who is EM?

[Freddie]

Speaking of our country for the next four years -

GASLIGHT will be on TCM tonight at 8 P.M. Eastern.

Made it to Catskill. It was dark at 5 pm today.

Another metaphor for the country: Hello, darkness, my old friend.
