Not much this week, but:

The first time I saw a Brian De Palma movie was SISTERS on Hollywood Blvd. in early 1973 or whenever it was. I liked it and went back a couple of times, but I never much succeeded in watching it on home video in later years. Something about it just seemed stuck in 1973 for me. I went to his next couple of films and I always enjoyed the thrills, but never 100%. So last night I turned on TCM and there was SISTERS, so I half-watched some of it while beginning to fall asleep. Same reaction. I do like De Palma, but I think I'm pretty much done with his early "Hitchcock thriller" years and all the split-screen and slo-mo. The signature slo-mo in CARRIE even gets to me a little bit, and that's more of a near-perfect movie.

I'm up for re-election for a church district thing. I looked over the paperwork for the conference. They forgot to put the position on the ballot. I wonder if they will notice before the conference.

Marthas rarely get noticed. We just fly under the radar.

Why did I initially think that BK was talking about two sharks?

I got the pair of keets a new wooden ladder to hang in their abode.....they had eaten about half of the old one. So far I don't think the new one has been used at all.

Back from Walgreen's. I had my $75 quarterly OTC supplement allowance show up on October 1st.
I got two bottles of Gloucosomine - buy one get one half price.....I box of Walgreen Men's Silver Plus Vitamins....two bottles of Walgreen's Brain Support on sale for $9.99 each....and I got the second box free.....and something called ASHWA for brain and body health.....

The card should have paid for it all....but I had to pay $13.04.......can't tell from the receipt what wasn't covered....but I still have a balance of almost $14.00

Oh well....quite a bargain for $13.

BK sometimes suffers from active brain syndrome. My ABS is more active bladder syndrome.

I just paid 2500 to replace my ABS.
