I'm writing to inform you that John Inman, Mr. Wilberforce Humpheries of "Are You Being Served?" has died. One of those people who was part of your childhood has passed.
Mr. JDW has moved to bigger and better things, and I do believe he will prosper in this year. All for now.

I'm dead tired and only writing as this is the centennial of the Great San Francisco Earthquake and Fire of 1906. Funny, when I was little, I never even conceived that there'd be a centennial. And stupid me didn't haul up to SF to watch it. Next year!
The documentary last night showed actual burning footage taken from close proximity. That was the only film that looked like 1900s filmstock. Most of the rest was of surprisingly good quality. I was impressed.

Music: Pinback, "Fortress"
Quite an inexcusable lax.
Pinback has been playing my mind, and it oozes into me like an unwelcome visiter.
I shall not get into the teaching program for Spring.
There's a "Got Milk?" commercial that has the Pillsbury Doughboy sad. That just seems to tear me up, I can't allow one of my icons of childhood be unhappy. Its like when the Doughboy is unhappy then nothing good can be. Quite stupid and silly but... well thats me.
In other news, Miss Sara S. is on her way to Aix-en-Provence. Mr. Woods is on the road to see destiny. I'm lonely as always, but one must cry or smile I guess.

Musi: Dubois, Offertoire
Oh my Goodness! I'm going to be about $300 in the hole this week paying for various tests. Crap. I know I shouldn't bother about such things, but this is somewhat alarming. I'm trying to get all my teaching credential things under control, and this is all frustrating to say the least. I know God will help me though, but of course I'm not getting things done in such a good way. I shall need my strength for these things. Now to hit up Mom in the morning.

Wednesday
I am so silly for saying this, but sometimes I become a total girl. It triggers my man period or something. But... whenever I see Richard Simmons on tv or read anyone's stories about how much weight he or she lost, I get all emotional and sad about it. I just read about one guy who decided to lose 200 lbs after he couldn't get the restraint belt on at a theme park. Whenever I read something like that, I feel like I'm dying inside.

Heavens its been a long while! Ok, whats new? My enlarger should be coming soon, I poked myself in the ear but appear to not be deaf yet, Jeremy's "Miracle Oil" did the trick, and I've been talking to Nick again. I miss my people. Matt might be joining the clergy, I wish him well.

Song: Ryan Adams "Goodnight Hollywood Boulevard"
I made the mistake of finishing up "Lady for a Day" on TCM before going to bed. They put on "TCM Remembers" which had momentary memorial tributes to Virginia Grey, Fay Wray, Ronald Reagan, Peter Ustinov, David Raksin, Jerry Goldsmith, and Elmer Bernstein, and of course Brando. Just made me sad to think of death, that and the pretty redhead with the magenta feathered fan. I don't want death to touch me tonight. Also sad to think of the world I wanted to live in getting further and further away as the people who were THERE pass on.
I think I interrupted Jeremy in bed.
Had a good Christmas with the family.

Music: Big & Rich, "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy"
Good gawd I'm listening to country. Lets see whats been new... Today I sold eight memberships, quite impressed with myself about that. Yesterday I broke the clutch of the 40 (joy) and got the old PC up and running. Its really quite scary to go back to the nostalgia, all that music that for the most part I can honestly live without hearing all the time. Greed I suppose. Anyway, life is swinging by as we speak. Amazing. Damon is freaking about Armagedden. Jeremy has given me a challenge. Jesse's planning on marrying Carolina, and they've taken possession of a new hacienda. And I need sex.

Music: Cesar Franck, "Piece Herioque"
What a day. We began with a model T tour. Funny how Dad and I are similar enough that we're both put off by the same irritability. Amazing, we both think we drive just fine and the other drives too fast and either doesn't use enough brake or uses much too much. Oh well. The 40 Ford is taking to stalling again. Fun fun fun.
My digestion is bonkers again. I had a big lunch, and I thought my stomach was going to explode. Came home and slept the whole day. Then I had an odd dream. Now most of my dreams are lucid, this wasn't. I dreampt that I had called up G. Ladds, and his girlfriend answered. I inquired as to the letters I had mailed, and I was basically told that I was a liability and an annoyance to them. I begged that I be allowed to remain in contact and was put on extreme probation if not shunned altogether. So I awoke from that at about 10-11pm, came down, wasted time on the computer, and checked my Enneatype (still a #4.) There was an earthquake in Tokyo, Woods is fine, I called him. Had a couple good chats, and I shall go off to bed now. My chakras are completely messed up now. Yay. Oh, and I clocked in at 210 yesterday.

Good Lord the time goes by! Tonight at 1am I am feeling the effects of torrential buckets of rain. Such unusual weather for southern California. So whats new, I'm tracking down 1946 Mercury hubcaps, working on the Korona camera, trying to sell things to make more money, and trying to network a bit. So much to do. I miss my friends a little.

Monday
Its 2am on Tuesday morning. I really want Papa Johns right now, with Anthony Petosa would be nice as well. I have to be at work in less than 10 hours. Sunday went rock climbing, that was actually quite nice. Saturday was REI, Mass, and something else I can't remember. My arms hurt in a nice way, I like driving the model A more than the '40 Ford sometimes, and I'm hungry. Oh yeah, I've been a total spaz to everyone lately since I think I'm going through a periodic abandonment thing again.
