Not really my kind of movie.

Everything this orange colostomy bag does sure doesn't say "I'm innocent!"

Autumn is settling in. It was another chilly night. Annabelle slept somewhere asround my knees under the blankets, Stella slept next to me, and Thatch was nowhere in sight. I suspect it was because Stella had his place at the head of the bed.

I think this morning when I make the bed, I'll put Grandma's Quilt on the bed. I need to launder all the bedding and winterize the bed in the next couple of days.

I love Bob Clark's Murder by Decree, but it's based on the now-disproven theory that Jack the Ripper's crimes were performed by Queen Victoria's surgeon to cover a royal scandal.

I'm not sure what's on today's agenda besides continuing the worktable cleanup.

DR vixmom, I've missed you! That's fantastic news about your health.

I shall soon be on my way in my Smart Car to my early morning appointment with my new oncologist.

It would be nice if he also put me on a yearly follow up schedule.

Then I am going to go with my sister to take my uncle to his regular doctor - since our cousin has a dentist appointment this morning. So I shall be doctored out by noon.

Last night I watched Act Two of Sunday in the Park with George. I always thought it was not as good as Act One, but last night it really got under my skin, and I was moved by it. I don't think Bernadette Peters has been as good in anything since. I then watched "Sunday," the number from the 1984 Tony Awards on YouTube. It catches a few little things in the staging that the DVD's director missed, although neither one - because of too many closeups - catches the ingenious manipulation of the figures into their painting positions. It's a moment in the show where I wish the camera simply stepped bacxk and let us see the whole picture.

I surprised myself and slept well last night. The cooler weather has helped.

Had weird dreams about dancing, but it helped solve a problem, I think.

Not my favorite, but I did enjoy The Frighteners, Zodiac and Silence of the Lambs.

I agree about the filming of the finale. It misses some of the magic of seeing it in the theater.

GREAT news about the computer being so well cleaned and operating.

I look forward to hearing what's up with the CD drive.

Probably not the same thing, but last year I picked up an external CD/DVD read/write drive for the MacBook. It's some no-name thing from God knows where, but it had the specs I was looking for, good reviews, and the price was right, $25 or so. But using it is weird, and not what I'd experienced on Windows machines. I don't know if this is an Apple thing, or whether it's just peculiar to this drive, but when you connect it, it doesn't show up anywhere. The computer doesn't "see" it or "show it to you" until you load a disc, whereupon it appears on the desktop and, I guess, in Finder. Then I can use it okay, but removing it is different, too. It's been so long since I last used it that I forget what that entails. Anyway...just weird.

DR vixmom, what an amazing story.

(But really, all of vixmom's stories are amazing. Aren't they?)

Happy Great Health News, and Happy Anniversary!

Well, now I'm going to have to pull out Sunday in the Park and watch it myself. I haven't done so in I don't know how long. I need to see it straight through first, and then run it again while following the score.

Okay, heads up, folks. You know who you are.

Criterion's twice-yearly 24-hour flash sale beings today at noon, eastern: 50% off everything that's in stock, no pre-orders, no back-orders.

This is now my best deal on Criterions, because -- I hope this is still the case, but as of the last sale -- I still don't get charged sales tax, and I always spend at least $50 or whatever it is for free shipping.
