Well, you've read the notes, the notes laid the cards and heaven knows what the cards felt about it, and now it is time for you to post until the laid cows come home.

I did not want to get out of bed this morning. It was chilly, the bed was nice and warm, and Annabelle and I were snugly settled in for a long winter's nap. I resent the alarm from 5:45 to 6:15, and then turned it off so we could snuggle as long as we wanted. Thatch and Stella stopped by to check on us, but it was nice to sleep in for a change.

I remember that evening with great pleasure. If I'm not mistaken, it was my first time meeting DR Ginny and DH Richard in person, and I think DR vixmom as well. I had previously met Ben and Jose. I also brought some pumpkin thing for DR Elmore from Stew Leonard's -- was it their cookies? And finally, that evening was my first time at Artie's, a comfortable and delicious place, the loss of which still burns my ASS.

I forgot to mention that I also watched the film of Ira Levin's novel, Sliver. It's horrible and the disgustingly awful screenwriter probably read an outline of the novel because the film is so different. Apparently, the movie tested so poorly that they changed who the killer was, which makes hash of everything. I truly believe that Joe Esterhaz was one of the worst screenwriters in history, despite his several hit films, none of which I cared for and yes that includes Basic Instinct and Jagged Edge. Sliver followed Basic Instinct and Showgirls followed that but that didn't stop idiots at the studios from paying him 1.5 million for a two-page outline of Jade, and 2.5 million for a four-page outline of One Night Stand. That script was so rewritten the he took his name off the film. All those films flopped. After that there were three more flops and he hasn't been heard from as a screenwriter since 2006.

Not that Sliver is Mr. Levin's best, but it still has good things in it and as always he was about ten or more years ahead of the curve in terms of how we are giving away all our privacy.

I read a very thoughtful mini-essay on stereotypes and changing societal norms and how to engage (or not) with films or programs (or even cartoons) that society may have left behind. I don't know what the answers are, but it was interesting.

I meant to mention something about the NY Philharmonic program that we watched on Great Performances. The quick-cut editing of contemporary movies has invaded the world of classical music broadcasting now. Every shot was a camera in motion, and they kept changing shots every few seconds. It was dizzying and nauseating. I feel it cheapens serious music. But they must thing that you have to do that to remain relevant and with it.
