I'm packing for my flight to Madrid, Spain later today and where I'm sure the weather will be better than it is here. I usually fly British Airways but for a change I'm using a budget airline but paying a bit more for a better seat.
Good morning. Thanks for the vibes. The situation seems to be working itself out little by little without me having to do much. Said singer is feeling the guilt and remorse of his actions. Usually, I'd forgive and forget. However, when someone says "I don't trust you anymore" - I feel that's an attack on my character, and that is the worst thing someone can do, IMHO.
we just drove up and down the neighborhood in the van and would ask if they needed any cleaning supplies - word would spread down the block and people would come and we would hand stuff out-- they were overjoyed to be given a gallon of bleach and a clean mop and bucket
when they found out that we also had contracter bags they were so grateful - the area this is in is not close to any store s- many of them still do not have working cars (as they were also submerged) or they don't have the gas and could not go out and waiting on gas lines because they are busy trying to get all the rapidly molding wet stuff out of their homes - also they were afraid to leave thier homes for an extended period of time as their are looters who are ripping copper pipes out and grabbing all the metal they can to sell as scrap
they have had to enforce a curfew in the area from 5 PM to dawn to try and keep the looters out - but now it seems that some, of the looters are coming ion by boat and sneaking in that way (all these homes are on or just off canals)

In my opinion there can never be too much Ella.You are right, there.
And the word of the day is: SPARGE!
Good morning!
It is delightful to see you this morning.
Oh that cake sounds amazing! Cake vibes, Jane!
Off to take Mother to an appointment (hopefully her last one post-surgery) & then to visit with my grandparents.
It's a bummer to think about, but this will either be our last Thanksgiving with Grandpa, or our first without him. I feel blessed to have had him be such an integral part of my life & have been slowly coming to terms with his mortality since he was approved for hospice care a few months ago.

I still treasure the chance to see her in concert and meet her afterward.

I only got to see her in concert, didn't get the meet afterwards. She was incredible!!!
I did a great job buttering the bundt pan, that cake slipped right out :)
I had lunch in the airport restaurant and on the plane had a bacon baguette -not because I needed it but I like eating on planes to pass the time.

You must be getting better airplane food than I am unless you took that on the plane with you. Is a meal included with your flight? We have to pay extra for food these days.
And it had bacon. :)

I had to pay extra for it. I had to wait 10 minutes for them to "cook" it. They asked if I didn't mind waiting. Well, I wasn't going anywhere :)

I wish I was going to warm Spain. I've never been there.
Gonna try and do my Monday casserole using this ham steak I have. Probably a broccoli/ham thing. That all requires a trip to the grocery, though.

good morning to all
ChasSmith - I've written about Rapture here several times - I saw it at a sneak preview many months before its release and then several times when it had its one and only week's run here in LA - I was totally mad for Miss Gozzi.
Can't find performances of Dixieland or Don't Wait, though there are pictures of the sheet music for Don't Wait.
The Notorious Nitpicker is the title of a song in my new musical.
It's gotten very Jewish in here.
My ear popped today after about six weeks of needing to pop. It was glorious.I bet!
I was starving earlier, ate, am full now, but it was a completely unsatisfying meal. My own fault. I simply chose wrong. Where was my judgement? Don't you HATE IT when that happens?

Jenna's mom just sent this to me:
Well, I've finished watching all 14 episodes of "Firefly." Great show!
Too bad it didn't last longer than it did. :(
It got very Jewish in my car a couple months ago, when I found "You Don't Have To Be Jewish" & "When You're In Love, The Whole World Is Jewish" together on CD at the 99 Cents Store. I didn't realize that's where "The Battle of Irving" was from. Hoo boy!
Oh that cake sounds amazing! Cake vibes, Jane!
Thanks. I hope it is.

Page three? But you know what - I don't care now that dear reader Sandra is back with popped ear!
Didn't stop Joey Ramone. :)It's gotten very Jewish in here.
Topic of the Day:
It's Christmas and We're Jewish. :D
I just watched a very nice movie, RAPTURE, of which I previously knew nothing. Now I shall read Julie Kirgo's notes on it which I know will be enlightening. This brings me almost up to date on the Twilight Times I've acquired, which is most of them. The only one here remaining to be seen is DESIREE, of which I also know nothing.
Back from my talk to the Sherlock Holmes group.Congrats!
It went well...and i sold several Basil Rathbone books.

Have you been to Oklahoma?
Apologies for mundane snapshot:

I wish I'd had time to drive around there at night and take some decent pictures. I was so impressed with the lovely Studio City, more than ever before. It was always a neat place, but I never quite properly appreciated it back in the day. Anyhoo, I thought Ventura Blvd. was absolutely great at night, and Art's (and Du-par's, and more) look extra fine when lit up. A beautiful place, BK.

Did Papa have a dairy farm?
Well, I've finished watching all 14 episodes of "Firefly." Great show!
Too bad it didn't last longer than it did. :(
Yup.
Now, I'll watch the movie, but in a little while. My sister's boyfriend is here to record a laserdisc to DVD since he doesn't have a laserdisc player and I do.
We got to the place early, so we strolled around the mall; stopped into a pet store.
Met a very friendly cat that wanted us to take him home.
:)
Not sure if I ready to give my heart to another pet yet.

The one thing I am having trouble getting used to with this laptop is the fact that if you leave the cursor sitting on something, it will automatically click it for you, and if you aren't careful, it will do it more than once. But then, just when I expect it to click something for me, it just sits there and stares at me. Weird.

Are you talking about SERENITY? I will be interested in hearing what you think of it.
So, Ms. Gozzi only made a handful of films, and nothing after 1973.
But she's in Leon Morin, Priest, a Criterion I just acquired. Guess I know what I'll be watching next.

Well, you must get Sundays and Cybele, which is available on DVD (you have to import it, but the transfer is great - don't be fooled by the bootlegs - talk to me before ordering). That's Miss Gozzi's best film.
I am hungry. Is it too early for breakfast?

I am just wondering............
Was Barbra Streisand the first artist to use MY FAVORITE THINGS on a Christmas album?
Well, I guess if she can sing SILENT NIGHT in Central Park in July, she can pretty well do whatever she wants, but I am still wondering.

That's the one. Great film, and one of the greatest child performances in the history of movies.
