Night after Christmas '08

Cold and icey on Christmas Day, but supposedly it is going to get up in the 50s Friday, after more ice snow. Will have to see how such weather comes about. Tragedy and sorrow on Dec 25 this year; Eartha Kitt and Harold Pinter both died, and some doofus in California dressed up as Santa and walked into his etranged wife's house, and killed her and her family and set the house on fire, and thankfully then shot himself. So far nine people are listed as dead in this mess. I just got done watching a tape of a 1947 western with Robt. Mitchum called Pursued. Complicated plot about a family feud and who in the past did bad to who among 2 families. Not totally successful story, and with a somewhat sour "happy" ending, but interesting. Deserves more than one viewing. Some good acting by Judith Anderson, who is always watchable. Not much world news was covered today on the news channels, except for lots of stuff about the people still stranded in airports. I have been in something of a depression and gloom cloud for the last few days, but keep hoping that it will end very very soon. And supposedly a lot of people in New England lost their power Again in another ice storm out there. Some dude in St. Peter's lunged at the Pope during Christmas mass last night. This is going to be all for right now. You take care. Di di mau!
