Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of what caused my mother to drag me out of The Subterraneans, and now it is time for you to post until the subterranean cows come home.

Usually at this time of day on a Sunday I am at church having already started the coffee pots, so plated cake and cookies for after service consumption, checked that the correct reading is in the pulpit girl the lay reader, verified that the communion chalices and decanter have been placed on the alter and that a copy of the  bulletin is at each communion assistant and pastors chair

Good morning, all.

Thanks to a silly repeating dream which combined something musical with ... I don't even know what now ... I was up at a more decent hour than I would have chosen for myself, and am now sipping a Stew Leonard's normal coffee (whatever they call it) K-cup.

Good morning, all!

I was going to watch another murder mystery last night and decided instead to watch the new Criterion Blu-ray edition of one of my favorite films, A Room With A View, and I wept through most of it. Denholm Elliot breaks my heart as Mr Emerson, but the entire cast is so absolutley right and wonderful. Some idiot reviewing the Criterion release said that Maggie Smith's funny, wet blanket "poor Charlotte" is like the dowager in Downton Abbey, and that's a load of crap: Charlotte's "poor me-kindness of others-my boiler's broken" repressed Victorian spinster has none of the authority and privilege of the dowager.

It's a film I love more after each viewing.

I recall seeing THE SUBTERRANEANS (or however you spell it) when it was first released.  I must not have liked it, because other than seeing it, I have no specific memory of the film.

Congratulations, vixmom!

I just got me an Amazon Sunday delivery, not five minutes ago...  my $7.81 Ultimate Season One I LOVE LUCY!

This is the first I LOVE LUCY product I've ever bought, except for the Criterion laserdisc release of a couple of episodes and lots of supplemental material, many years ago.  And that was secondhand, long after it had been released.  I'd always intended to get the complete set on DVD but I'm just as glad I've waited for this.

Boxing Day was so crazy. The mall was really bad at around 2:30pm (opened at 1pm). the parking lot was a nightmare. I don't get how people think that they can just show up that late and get parking. It was a zoo.  Many/most people arrive at 11am for a 1pm opening. Then you can eat lunch and be ready to pounce at 1pm. :)

Well, not that I needed to be indulging in another thoroughly lazy day, but that's what this one became.

Back to real life tomorrow, and I mean that.  I've got several things I want to accomplish before New Year's Eve, and it all simply has to happen.

 Are any of those things doing my laundry ? ( I hope I hope)

Also took a quick tour of the I LOVE LUCY Blu-rays.  They're wonderful, and for vintage TV on exceptionally well planned and well executed home video releases, I'd equate them -- so far -- with those of THE TWILIGHT ZONE and THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW.  We are well served by these quality affairs. 

I stuck the season two set into my cart just to keep an eye open for any good price fluctuations.  Which probably won't happen for a while, but that's all right.

As a kid, MAD Magazine, Humbug, Sick, and every issue of Famous Monsters up until about 1964.  Later, TV Guide - every week, week in, week out.  Then, in the 70s, I became a regular reader of Time and Newsweek, the New Yorker (all thanks to one of those subscription things so popular back then), then also became a regular reader of Sight and Sound, Films in Review, Films and Filming, The Velvet Light Trap and other film magazines, always bought at the Las Palmas newsstand, then Gramophone and a few stereo equipment magazines.  When laserdiscs came in, The LaserDisc Newsletter.  Then much later, genre magazines like Scarlet Street, The Little Shop of Horrors, several mags about Hammer, G Fan (Godzilla), and others of that ilk.  I have complete runs on many of these, all bound.

Famous Monsters and MAD Magazine as a kid.  TV Guide off and on, and someone in the family was always giving me National Geographic.  The occasional film magazine, but it depended on what I was interested in in the issue:  Films in Review -- oh man, I don't remember now, maybe Sight and Sound, some horror stuff like Castle of Frankenstein and Cinefantastique.  Much later, discovered Little Shop of Horrors and Cinema Retro which I love buying now.

Saturday Review, then The New Yorker off and on through the years (yes, the subscription deals were un**believable), and New York.  High Fidelity, Stereo Review, Audio, The Absolute Sound, the occasional Stereophile and the short-lived Sounds Like...  The Laser Disc Newsletter for a while, and The Perfect Vision.  A musical one called Ovation.  A few Sondheim Reviews, and the Bernstein one - Prelude Fugue & Riffs which I'm still getting.  For a short time, book stuff like Biblio, Firsts, and the entire run of a zine called Modern Library Collector.

And yes, in the Hollywood years, the Las Palmas and Cahuenga newsstands.  And another one down on -- I forget, Robertson Blvd.?  And one on Fairfax near Farmer's Market.  On visits to the Valley, one on (Van Nuys?).  A stop at any one of these was a special experience.  Of course, the better book stores had, and some still have, great magazine sections.  These can be good, but they're not the same thing.  Tower Books in NYC, may it R.I.P., had a great one.

I didn't answer this in an orderly fashion at all, and am not even sticking to the question because many of what I listed were not a "religious" thing.  And yet, it all meant that, if you know what I mean!  I can only wish I'd kept it all like BK did.  :)

As a child I read Jack and Jill, Golden Magazine and a kids version of National Geographic---- (Explorer maybe it was called?)  My parents took Life  and Look  and National Geographic and McCalls (which I loved because of the Betsy McCall paper dolls in each issue)

when I was a young teen I read 16 magazine--- to get my pinups of Donny Osmond and Bobby Sherman

when I was in my 20s I started taking Smithsonian and Natural History, Readers Digest, National Geographic, Analog and Asimov's


As we started getting buried under magazines we gave up everything except Asimov's and Analog


and now I get AARP  and AAA magazines every month as well but those were  side benefits of membership  rather than  planned subscriptions

I did make a small donation to the Friends of Rowlett Animal Shelter.  I donate something to the local animal shelter whenever there is a bad tornado.  Well, not all of them, but I've done it a number of times.

My friend Kevin, whose grandparents built my house, lives in Garland  I was following the storm through him.  He is an animal lover so I've been reading the posts of so many lost animals.

It's especially bad for cats. When cats get scared they hide.  So, after disasters, dogs are found pretty easily, but it may take days or even weeks for cats to be located.

My sister and I bought our aunt (the nun) an e-gift card for AMC movie theater, which is the theater that's closest to where she lives and goes most often.

I got my printer's ink cartridge refilled today at Costco and I printed the gift card to send to her.  That's some of what I was doing.

Certain brands...probably based on the kind of ink cartridge.  I have a Canon Pixma MX30 and I can get these refilled.

I have learned of several friends involved in mishaps today because of the bad weather here. One was in an accident that sounds like a paperwork nightmare waiting to happen. (The other driver lacked insurance and fled the scene.) but the friends themselves are safe, which is what is most important.

More than an inch of snow has fallen. And it continues to fall. It's supposed to warm up though by the time I have to start heading home tomorrow.
