Various Bits of Info
An insane press conference last night and now the hearing today. I will be tuning in at 10 am to hear testimony from Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. I believe her. I believe survivors. I don’t think the GOP realizes just how enraged women are over this. But it will be quite evident to them come November 6th.
The sun is out this morning and how welcome it is! Don will be happy. The rain has been cramping his photographer style.
There’s not much to share today. I’m making lists. I’m doing stuff around the house. I’m going shopping tomorrow at the dreaded mall. I have to take my laptop in to have Apple check on something, so I figured I would bite the bullet and look for a jacket and shoes. And socks. And maybe one black sweater. We’re packing very lightly and most of my clothes will be black. It’s just easier. Plus, I look good in black, as does Don, so there’s that.
I have two great documentaries to recommend to you. The first is Quincy. Quincy, as in Quincy Jones. It’s produced by his daughter, Rashida Jones, and it’s excellent. What an amazing life this man has led. It’s on Netflix.
Side note: Don has worked with lots and lots of well-known people over the years, especially in the years he was doing television pretty consistently. But he can still surprise me. As we were watching the doc, a moment came where Quincy’s work as the producer of Fresh Prince of Bel Air was discussed. Don quietly said,”I sat next to him at a read-through.” Meaning at a read-through of Fresh Prince because Don was on the Christmas episode. Me: “You said next to him??” Don: “Yeah.” Me: “Did you talk to him?” Don: “Sure. We chatted.” Me: “You never told me this!”
After 24 years together, I’m still hearing new information.
The other documentary is Jane Fonda in 5 Acts. We watched it last night. Absolutely wonderful. She is so honest about her life. She’s fascinating. Can’t recommend it enough. It’s on HBO.
Okay. Time for another cup of coffee.
Happy Thursday.
Countdown
Oh my heavens, yesterday was a pain in the tush! We had torrential rain ALL day long, both here and in NYC. I left the house around 7:15 am and didn’t return until 9 pm. Walking anywhere in the city – and I had to walk 12 blocks to rehearsal – was treacherous. Puddles everywhere, umbrellas banging into each other, me constantly hiking my handbag and a tote bag with my script in it back onto my shoulder while juggling an umbrella. Then doing it all again at a fast clip as I made my way back to the bus station. The bus ride home was much longer than usual because of the rain.
As Don said, “Our routine is off!” And it was.
I’m happy to be home and I’m really tuckered out. I seem to go from peaceful daily living to, suddenly, a day packed full of exhausting activity, then back to normal.
Speaking of Don, I took this picture of him the other day:
Pretty dreamy. My crush continues.
And here’s a photo of my other guy:
Mr. Henry. I love that boy.
We’re are suddenly panicked because we’re leaving for our trip in a week and a half, and we have a lot to do before then! How can it be only a week and a half away? So we spent the morning with this little book:
It’s pocket-sized and will definitely be accompanying us on our trip.
We’re supposed to get even more rain and thunderstorms this afternoon. I am so over rain. It seems like we’ve had nothing but rain this summer and fall. One of my readers mentioned that she had read that morning glories don’t like too much water. I think that’s why they haven’t bloomed. That’s the one difference this year from every other year. Way too much rain. Dang it!
Anyway, have to go pay some bills and practice French and start making lists of everything I have to get done, including buying some good walking shoes and a fall jacket/coat.
Happy Wednesday.
