Just finished watching it this p.m.
I did Taichi at the arboretum before
that. Then I found out I will not
have to do Jury duty on Monday!
Just 5 minutes ago Rosa called to
say I'm booked from 12 to 5:30
tomorrow! Will make up for Monday.

Trapeze Restaurant in Burlingame
Found a new restaurant Memorial Day.
Went to eat at Ecco but they were closed.
Trapeze was just down the next block, good
food, ambience. I had the Petrale and
Eva had the Salmon. Both were very good.
The Calamari was very good, the thickest
we've had. The glass of Pinot Grigio was
fantastic, the most expensive white wine
by the glass they serve. The waitress who
is Itlaian gave us pause for a while as she
didn't write down our order. She took
the order at the next table and then spent
five minutes talking to another patron at
another table. We got what we ordered and
everything's ooja cum spiff.
Serendipity Rocks!

Alison
Elaine, the Toshiba named after
Elaine Cassidy, wouldn't start yesterday so
I had to reinstall the OOTB software.
I decided to rename it Alison after
Alison Pill. She has such a fresh mien,
most delightful of the pleasant faces
of Dan in Real Life.

Faltered, then recovered.
I didn't watch it Thursday, but I watched it
Friday. Which makes it 12 times in 13 days.
Eva and I watched it right after Little Miss
Sunshine. Thursday we watched Devil
wears Prada. Emily Blunt's in it.

11 in 11.
I didn't finish it though.
I got so sleepy and had to turn it off
after the Townsend song. It was
2:30 in the a.m.

New Record
9 times in 9 days.
I'm ashamed.
BTW. the most times I've seen a movie in
the theatre was Jesus Christ Superstar in
the early 1970s. 15 times I cut classes to see
it.

New Record
I watched this movie 8 times in 8 days.
The previous record is 20 times in one
month, but not more than 5 times in
5 days. That was You've Got Mail.

Vicky's new book
I just got Vicky's book and I will read it. It's not a genre Iusually read so it may take me awhile.
Here's what Amazon has to say:
Who's Your Alpha? by Vicky Burkholder.
Sunny Clark always thought she was the only shape shifter in the town where she grew up. But when she returns for her high school reunion, she is shocked to find that nearly the whole town can turn into one thing or another. Including her teen crush, David Maxwell.
After a challenge for position in the pack, where Sunny defeats the town's Alpha female, the real question becomes does David only want the new Alpha female, or has he always wanted Sunny just as she is?
Adrian's new book
Adrian's new book is coming out in August. Eva and I
are excited. We look forward to anything from that part
of Australia.
Here's what Amazon has to say:
For "Time Machines Repaired While-U-Wait" specialist, Aloysius "Spider" Webb, time travel has lost its luster.
Working as a senior time machine repair technician, Spider has seen it all - past, present and future. Wanting more out of life, Spider hates time travel and everything that goes with it_after all, time travel cost him his job as a top investigating police officer.
Fixing time machines is a waste of Spider's talent. But he's resigned to do it until he discovers, inside a broken second-hand time machine, the corpse of a woman; brutally murdered, wrapped in plastic and duct tape. Before Spider can act on his old police instincts, the shadowy Department of Time and Space steps in and seizes the machine, the remains, and all of the evidence, and closes the investigation.
Spider wants answers, but his questions only lead to more questions; unsettling evidence, brewing trouble, and the knowledge that Spider, himself, might be involved in an epic battle at the End of Time. Who can Spider trust? And what will they tell him: the truth or what he wants to hear?

Current Faves
Carlotta, a client this afternoon seems interested in some of the
things I blabbed about. So as a way of jumpstarting this blog,
here goes.
Anything For Billy by Larry McMurtry. A character in this
short novel, Kate Garza, a mexican bandit, provided the name
for my current car. I read this book in 1993 so is not really current.
http://tinyurl.com/5lnbyb
Dan in Real Life. I've seen this movie six times this week. Actually
I just finished watching it just now.
http://tinyurl.com/6ns5gq
Picante. A mexican restaurant in Berkeley that got a very good review
in Check,Please, Bay Area. I actually haven't been to this one, I just
mentioned it to my client because she is from Berkeley.
http://picantecocina.ypguides.net/
Ecco. Not inexpensive, it has become our favorite restaurant the past year.
Often it has become the highlight of the week, what with Eva's ongoing
treatment.
http://www.eccorestaurant.com/
La Collina. Has overtaken Buon Gusto in South San Francisco as our
favorite Italian restaurant.
http://www.lacollinaristorante.com/
Carrier. A series on PBS where a TV crew joined the crew of the
USS Nimitz on its six month deployment. We get to know some of
enlisted men and join in their lives. Really fascinating. The music
is wonderful. Got to discover new, for me, groups. Five for Fighting,
The 88, Little Barie, Atherton to name a few.
http://www.pbs.org/weta/carrier/
John Adams. HBO's adaptation of the David McCullogh book, which I
love. Stars Paul Giammati and Laura Linney and some wonderful actors
that really looked like the founding fathers.
http://www.hbo.com/films/johnadams/index.html
Some more to come when I remember them.
Mark, who came in 2 hours later was flummoxed when I told him
I bought three computers the past four months. I now have a total
of 7. Each one is wireless.
The three ones are:
Asus eeepc http://tinyurl.com/6qpfhf
Acer Mini Desktop http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=ASL100-UD400A-R
Toshiba U405 http://explore.toshiba.com/laptops/satellite/U400
