Don't know why you'd run/What you're running to, or from

Raining, here at the Confusion Factory; the Waterville airport claiming temps of 45F/7C. Hello? Yes, I know the clerk who routed our weather to autopope has been re-assigned, but there was supposed to have been a re-calibration along with... Excuse me? It's back-ordered?

Uh-oh.

Last night Steve and I knocked off early and viewed "The Remains of the Day." I'm still thinking about it. I do take issue with the implication that Mr. Stevens could have Altered The Course of History, had he only broken with his own melant'i, or that he was implicit in his master's. . .delusions. As I said, still thinking.

(I had forgotten to mention that we had watched "Inkheart" on...Wednesday evening, I think. It wasn't what I had thought it would be, but any movie that wants to talk about the debt and balancing between an author and the characters he creates is bound to engage me, and so it was.)

More Ghost Shipping here today, in-between bouts of staring out the window, and the ever-popular elastic band exercises. I'll have to get with the end-of-the-year bookkeeping one of these days realsoonnow, but -- today is not that day.

Also? Tomorrow is Monday.

And I'm sleeping in.

You may be amused to know that the forecast for Edinburgh tonight hits -7 celsius.

Oh, and the record for sunshine in Scotland yesterday was Edinburgh, with 0.2 hours.

The only Elvis song I like

Yup, Kentucky Rain is a good one.

Part of me is bummed to see the 2 ft of snow washed away/melted away --- but the rest of me is glad the ice is toast. For now anyway.

May I say, I am loving the snippets of Ghost Ship? It's seeing the sparkly bits of snow coming down at night - like fireflies but colder.

Lauretta@ConstellationBooks, selling books and listening the the Glee soundtrack. Most of these songs sound better in the Glee arrangements than the originals. That may be Crazy Talk but darn they are that good.

Actually? If you listen to the words, it's kind of creepy. But, then, I tend to get creeped out by songs I've happily sung along with for years. The last one that really got me was "The Road to Shambayla." I can tell my sister by the flowers in her eyes? euwww...

Thank you, but you must tell me -- what is Glee?

Glee, current definition

1) my guilty pleasure; 2) a tv series on Fox about a high school show choir, and the teachers of the kids in it.

I don't at all care for High School Musical so I was initially skeptical -- though everyone said It's Ryan Murphy So It's Whacked. Then I heard they were Broadway (as opposed to Hollywood/Disney) actors and they ALL sing their own stuff. And the reviews for the pilot were unanimously good. Man, am I glad I watched this Fall --- the characters are layered and none of them are all good or all bad. They have some really interesting quirks and the plot pacing moves lightning fast.For writing THAT good to come hand in hand with great music is - well, a gem. I already mentioned the music was great, right? Stuff from Broadway, classic rock AND rap. (Yeah, I don't normally dig rap but this is pretty good.)

NOTE I have no tv at home currently (spend all my time at the bookshop) so I watch on Hulu.com whilst counting out the drawer.
