So here I am.

BK is waiting a long time for his car. Hope they do NOT have to order parts from Europe.

For me, I just hope the needed repairs today don't break the bank. (A brake seems to have seized up, or done something that brakes do.)

BK is waiting a long time to be CROWNED, too.

My dentist has been making them same day for some years now, and they're wonderful. I'd imagine a traditionally made one might have a longer expected life span, but who knows. I've got two 3-D printed crowns and two 3-D printed caps in my mouth that are at least a decade old, plus the new crown from last month, and, knock wood, they're wonderful.

I slept rather well. Annabelle retreated to her aerie and her mountain chateau in the book cases, Stella slept at my feet, and Thatch slept next to me. Aome time after 2:00, Annabelle did her dive from the chateau onto me, which was an unpleasant surprise, as she ran for the litter box. When she returmned to bed, she curled up on her princess pillow. When the alarm rang, I decided to ignore it and sleep in, and Annabelle decided she wanted top sleep under the blankets, so wqe cuddled for maybe 45 minutes before I decided to get up.

DR Jrand74, yes, TCM was good last night. They Shoot Horses was coming on right when I needed it, and I was starting to fall asleep right at the end. I was awake for a few minutes of the next movie, but that one was a lost cause. It did exactly what it needed to do.

I'd forgotten what that next movie was last night. It was Car Wash (1976) which I'd never seen. Well, I still have never seen it. I'll have to catch it another time.

When I first saw it listed, I conflated it with Used Cars (1980) which I like a lot.

I have a couple of CDs of Miss MacKenzie's singing and they are on high rotation around these parts.

It was a while ago, but I'd been doodling with a comedy about a character somewhat like me obsessed with going back in time to catch a character somewhat like you in a production of "Dial M for Murder" in the 1980s.  It was turning out too much like "Somewhere in Time" and I'd thought if I made it a full-out parody, it might be OK to be like "Somewhere In Time."  I'm trying to remember why I abandoned it.

Has it become common to serve the man first. Three times tonight, I received my dish before the three women at the table. I didn’t say anything to the staff, but I did say it to my friends, who had noticed it too.

Not usually at a posh place, unless your food came out first.

Last night we did not eat at a posh place.  The server, not the waitress, came out with the food, picked up one dish at a time and asked who it was for before serving it.  Still, I think he managed to do the women first :)

My cataract surgery went very well, although it seemed different from the first one.  I must have been a bit more "under" that first go-around.

I was home by 9:45 a.m., though, and the trip took 45 minutes, so...

It is currently a very chilly 50 degrees, but the day is very bright (!!) and sunny.  Off in the distance (less than a quarter mile away, actually) someone is chain sawing a downed tree.

I was groggy, at least partially, the rest of the day.

My second one was a little different, too, in what I was “seeing” during the surgery. I didn’t get quite the interesting light & color show as I did in the first. I still remember it, and I wish I had the skill to create a video or something to show people - including my doctor who was interested in those perceptions of what was going on.

My cataract surgery went very well, although it seemed different from the first one.  I must have been a bit more "under" that first go-around.

I was home by 9:45 a.m., though, and the trip took 45 minutes, so...

I sit here with a clear plastic patch over my left eye.  All is cloudy, a bit watery and often gritty, but I shall persevere!

I'm glad your surgery went well.  I noticed a difference with mine, only I seemed more out of it with the second surgery.

I was groggy, at least partially, the rest of the day.

My second one was a little different, too, in what I was “seeing” during the surgery. I didn’t get quite the interesting light & color show as I did in the first. I still remember it, and I wish I had the skill to create a video or something to show people - including my doctor who was interested in those perceptions of what was going on.

That you got one light show is interesting.

My dentist has been making them same day for some years now, and they're wonderful. I'd imagine a traditionally made one might have a longer expected life span, but who knows. I've got two 3-D printed crowns and two 3-D printed caps in my mouth that are at least a decade old, plus the new crown from last month, and, knock wood, they're wonderful.

That's amazing, ChasSmith!

Starting The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, which I have never seen before. But that Michael Powell documentary made me want to watch it.

It took me a couple of viewings to totally warm up to that one, but warm up to it I did. I had never seen it till about ten years ago when one of the really good projectionists who posts on Home Theater Forum ran a pristine 35mm print in a lovely old theeder. That was a great introduction to it, but I watched the Blu-ray at home a couple of times shortly thereafter to thoroughly digest it. It's time to do it again because even now, a couple of moments shown in the documentary didn't look familiar enough to me!

What's really funny about that movie is that everyone says the issue that causes the time warp was because he sustained an injury. What know one, not one single critic or person noticed is that it's the guy he never captured twenty years ago, who inflicts the injury - you have to be paying attention to why the cop stops (to see why there's a vehicle on the bridge, not moving, with no one in the driver's seat. It doesn't pay off until the end of the film so I guess no one remembers - I did.

I may try to find a chiropractor, since it's covered by insurance. I need some adjustments.

Is there anyone walking distance from you?

Does peanut butter have a lot of carbs? And what DOESN'T have a lot of damn carbs?

Eating peanuts is better than eating peanut butter unless you buy it without sugar.

I (usually) only get Adam's All-Natural with just peanuts and salt.  I like theirs better than any other "natural" peanut butter.

Starting The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, which I have never seen before. But that Michael Powell documentary made me want to watch it.

It took me a couple of viewings to totally warm up to that one, but warm up to it I did. I had never seen it till about ten years ago when one of the really good projectionists who posts on Home Theater Forum ran a pristine 35mm print in a lovely old theeder. That was a great introduction to it, but I watched the Blu-ray at home a couple of times shortly thereafter to thoroughly digest it. It's time to do it again because even now, a couple of moments shown in the documentary didn't look familiar enough to me!

What an emotional wow that movie was. Just about perfect. I can't watch it again so soon, but I want to watch the commentary with Michael Powell and Martin Scorsese.

At the end of his introduction to Blimp, Scorsese tells the story that before filming Powell was told by the government not to make it and if he did, he would never be knighted. He made the film. He never was knighted.
