So, I do not KNOW this guy, but he died SO far back, ('84 did it say)? OK, calling my Mother right now Linus! Thank you so much!! Maybe she will remember him in something, from way back. It doesn't look like he was a "main character" in movies though - even then, anything outstanding and/or memorable...(?) But, IF he was in ANY "murder mystery" BEV will most certainly know/remember him! WILDCAT |

I'm still reading the instructions to the MP3 player I got for Christmas 08. Does anybody have a 12 -year-old I can borrow who can show me how to use the damned thing? (my new smilie policy: use one from the window to the right whether it fits or not)

Currently skimming Kate Bornstein's Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women, & the Rest of Us for quotes. If you haven't read it, it's worth the time!
Here's an excerpt... I write when nothing else will bring me peace, when I burn, when I find myself asking and answering the same questions over and over…I write in bottom space. I open up to you, I cut myself, I show you my fantasies, I get a kick out of that—oh, yeah. I perform in top space. I cover myself with my character and take you where you never dreamed you could go. Yes. My ancestors did this. My instrument is not my pen or my typewriter, not my lover’s Macintosh, not my cast of characters, not my body on stage. No, my instrument is my audience and oh how I love to play you. Damn, she's brilliant--and that red hair when I saw her perform....

Over the holidays, because I was absolutely bored out of my gourd - and yes, I do have a gourd, thank you very much - I went to Barnes & Noble and bought two new books. One - the one I'm really enjoying right now is historical fiction, titled Mary. It's [loosely] based on the [supposed] letters that Mary Todd Lincoln wrote whilst she was in the asylum.
The second book is something by David Sedaris. I thought I might need something comical get me out of any funk Mary might put me in. Well, I have not picked up the David Sedaris book, and honestly, I'm thrilled. Mary is an easy read and the author does a good job of speaking in the first person and almost making me feel as though I'm walking around in her apron pocket listening and watching her every move.

A bit ago, I finished (well, I'm not quite "finished') reading Asylum: Inside the Closed World of State Mental Hospitals by Christopher Payne. It's an amazing collection of photographs of abandoned, vast mental asylums. I also just picked up David Sedaris' When You are Engulfed in Flames... I'm a bit behind, but I'm looking forward to in the near future. Happy Readin', Ya'll!

Engulfed in flames is good daisy...unfortunately with all the publiccity and build up you may be a bit disappointed....It was good but not deserving of so much acclaim.
Just read the book Powerpoint 7...........dry very dry..it will be a great door stop! I am out of books and need to refill before i start wandering the grocery store reading all the labels..... its a pain when u run out of things to read...anyone who does not know about it..... the guttenberg project.org u can download tons of classics for free onto your computer..kindle, e reader, ipod, mp3, etc etc....for a little fun reading try Elinor Glyn ..very racy writing back when she wrote it in the 1800's Alexander Dumas of course is always a joy an if you are up to a challenge read some joyce....(I suggest medicinal pot prior to injecting joyce into ones brain)

I just ordered four ELizabeth Gaskell novels (mostly because I just saw the third part of Cranford on Masterpiece classics last night). I've read Gaskell's Bio of Charlotte Bronte but didn't think to read her novels. Now I'm about to start up my old obsession with very long Victorian novels. I'll probably emerge again sometime in 2011. See you then.
