Just watched the Oscar nominations.

Biggest surprise: No Best Director nomination for THREE BILLBOARDS, which probably makes THE SHAPE OF WATER the front-runner for Best Picture.

I haven't seen either film, but based on past Oscar history (with a couple of exceptions, like ARGO), that would be my prediction.

This morning we had our 6 month, yes it is every 6 months now, cancer check at the dermatologist.  I went in first and came out last since I had 2 biopsies done and Keith didn't need any.  I really thought I was going to get away this time without a biopsy, and with fewer things sprayed off of me.

Those So. California early years spent swimming and playing sports did a lot of damage.

Ah yes, DR ELMORE.....The Count of Monte Cristo is most excellent as a book, I haven't seen a really GOOD film version either, although I SORT of liked the Richard Chamberlain tv version.

Another revenge movie:

SON OF FURY with Tyrone Power avenging his parents against his uncle George Sanders who had stolen all of their lands and castles.  Of course it doesn't hurt that he is in love with his cousin.....Frances Farmer.

And I have finished the book.  I'm sure I'll have plenty of futzing and finessing to do but I at least have the ending down - in fact, I've been futzing and finessing it for the last hour and I think it's pretty good but I'll see how it feels when I read it with all the pages that went before it.  It's always very emotional to get to the end of a book, and this one was one of THE most emotional.

How about a few teasers?

The elevator crew is very noisy today.  They've been working nine days straight now.  Perhaps they will finish before Feb. 28?

Let's hope so!

I received a call today from my new health insurance plan. They wanted to know if I had any questions. YES! I do. This is my third call with them and it won't be my last. Every plan is somewhat different, but none are simple. Little by little I'm learning how to proceed through the medical maze that is an HMO. I'll give all the reps high marks for trying to be helpful. So far they seem more knowledgable than my last plan.

Watching a fun detective drama called Tony Rome with Frank Sinatra, Jill St. John, Sue Lyon, Gena Rowlands and Richard Conte. It's very much of its time, but it's enjoyable.

Jane, regarding A PLACE TO CALL HOME, I don't want to give too much away. I'll say again that the season does get better. The Regina subplot goes in a direction I would not have guessed. I'd advise you to give it a bit more time.

And I have finished the book.  I'm sure I'll have plenty of futzing and finessing to do but I at least have the ending down - in fact, I've been futzing and finessing it for the last hour and I think it's pretty good but I'll see how it feels when I read it with all the pages that went before it.  It's always very emotional to get to the end of a book, and this one was one of THE most emotional.

Congrats on finishing, BK!!
