Well, you've read the notes, the notes were stretched beyond endurance, and now it is time for you to post until the stretched cows come home.

I don't know exactly when my review of BK's book finally showed up, but finally it has! AND so has Vixmom's review! You can read them here:

Well, this stood out in BK's notes:
"when the book is revealed I’ll probably make that cut section available, just because it’s kind of fun in a mean way."

That's certainly one heck of a teaser!

Great that the Kritzerland rehearsal went well!

Thanks for the links to the book reviews, DR George.

Back to work today! But only for one day.

I could not get to sleep last night. After lying in the dark for two hours, I decided to read. Stella decided to join me. Five minutes later I had to put the book down, turn off the light, and I was out.

Today my house sweep continues. My apartment is untidy, and three crazy cats do not help at all. I would like it to be less unkempt when the inspectors show up on Monday.

Yesterday I had a nice discussion with Jeremy Clayton about the book's illustrations.

Last night I watched for the first time in around 30 years Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte. I had almost watched it two days ago when I watched The History Boys instead. I've always loved the movie, both for its wonderful collection actors and its Grand guignol outrageous moments.

Last night I kept watching Bette Davis and her mood swings from over-the-top craziness to heartbreaking simplicity and thinking who could play this today and carry it off? Olivia de Havilland at times seems to be channeling Joan Crawford, the actress she replaced, in phony sweetness and then there's a fantastic shot - after dumping the body - where de Havilland's glare at Davis is so ugly and frightening that it's fantastic. I've always loved Agnes Morehead, and her "everything but the kitchen sink" performance is straight out of Tobacco Road and so zany. And what a wonderful lineup of men to play against these three dragons: the wonderful Victor Buono, the great Cecil Kellaway, a suave Joseph Cotton, Wesley Addy, George Kennedy, Dave Willock. . . . I may watch it again tonight.

As Annabelle would say, So much fun!

My boss asked me why I only get sick on work days.

I said it must be my weekend immune system.

singdaw, when you work at home, but one day you're sick, are you still expected to do a full workday?

singdaw · « **Reply #21 on:** June 20, 2025, 05:35:18 AM »

Well, I personally haven't taken a sick day (unplanned) in over 8 years. But we do have paid sick leave, which accrues. I have accumulated about 45 days' worth of sick leave.

singdaw · « **Reply #22 on:** June 20, 2025, 05:35:54 AM »

So if I were sick and unable to work, I'd use that banked time and still get paid.

That's great that you can bank them like that!

I did not sleep well. But I could sleep now when I need to rise.

TOD: I have Spotify all ready to play a something if my DH decides to take the car. When he starts the car in the driveway, the music plays from my phone. I'm going to rickroll him. Again. He thinks it's hilarious.

Laura · « **Reply #29 on:** June 20, 2025, 07:33:17 AM »

In fact, I usually rickroll the mechanics who change the oil.
