Another bad night.  Around 5:45, I decided that I would reset the alarm from 6:15 to 7:00 and let the cats wait for breakfast. Soon it will be Nov. 3 and the clocks will change, so the sooner they get used to 7:00 being the new 6:00, the better.  Well, at 6:20, I got out of bed in disgust: couldn't sleep, just lay there and tossed about.

So, I dressed and fed the cats.  Annabelle is playing prima donna this morning and turned up her nose and the salmon, so while I gave her some dry food, Thatch and Stella ate her Fancy Feast.  I just watched her try to find a remaining morsel in her now-empty bowl.  Suffer, lady!

BK's luncheon at Langers made me nostalgic for Artie's.  I think the only good Jewish deli now on the Upper West Side is the one on 672nd Street where E&T DR PennyO had several delish meals.  I'd love me some latkes or matzoh ball soup!

I need to vacuum, but I can't until 9:00.  I do not want to disturb the neighbor below me any more than I already do.  She's a good neighbor, and she says I never disturb her, but I'm sure she hears my early morning movements just as I hear the comings and goings of the neighbor above me.

The chiltepin pepper was even more generous. I picked about three dozen ripe peppers, which are smaller than a sunflower seed (not in the shell) and fiery hot. I just pop them in the freezer and use sparingly as needed.

I hope your definition of "marked everything as his territory" is not the same as it is to me.  I think of marking as spraying with urine to mark a territory.

I went to the library to pick up eight reservations I had, only to discover the library book sale going on. I found some wonderful Britten discs that I didn't have. One is called The Canticles, the other is a collection of songs sung by tenor Ian Bostridge. It includes French folk songs, a Sinfonietta and Our Hunting Fathers, which was devised by Auden.

I also found a recording of A Shropshire Lad with music from Samuel Barber and more. Alan Bates does the reading. Anthony Rolfe Johnson sings.

Listening to music - I listened to two more symphonies by Adolf Skulte - I love this guy - movie music not written for a movie is what it sounds like.  Looking forward to the rest, but am now listening to more Richard Wetz music - really enjoy his stuff, too.

iPod finished synching.  Then I couldn't get it to choose shuffle - turns out you have to slide a switch to make the menu functions work - once I did that, all was well.

I've started Amor Towles' Rules of Civility. It's not as good as A Gentleman in Moscow, but it is enjoyable.

Is it also funny?

Not yet, though there are a couple of moments.

Keith bought a large bag of edamame at Costco from the freezer section.  Inside are individual bags you just pop in the microwave for 3 minutes.  I am not enjoying a plate of edamame :)

Not or now?

I have started to watch Wes Anderson's first movie, Bottle Rocket, which I saw ages ago. I'm surprised I remember so much about this. In many ways, it's his best movie. Maybe because Owen Wilson co-write the script.

The iPod was very persnickety when I plugged it in in the car.  It kept shutting off after ten seconds.  Really irritating.  So, I unplugged, shut it off, restarted, and now it seems to be fine and I hope it will continue to be fine.

Listening to some wonderful music by Hendrik Andriessen.  I gather his son Louis has rather taken the spotlight from dad, but I'm quite sure I would not care for the son's modernist stuff.  Of course, the modernist son is now in his 80s, so there's that.

Tracy and I dined at Applebee’s.  It was good, but they seem to have narrowed their menu items.

Then we headed off to the Theatre on the Square.

I wondered about that.  Margo and I went last week and it seemed like they had a new but less dense menu.

I have never been to an Applebee's I don't think.

That's pretty cool.  He was also the title character in Bunbury at OLT earlier this year.
