All I've Got Are Random Thoughts...

Tonight I watched the "Masterpiece Theater" count down.

Shocked, shocked, shocked I was to learn that Derek Jacobi, who narrated the show and I knew as Colin Craven's father in "The Secret Garden" also played Claudius in "I, Claudius". I did not know that. I always knew that I thought he was creepy, and now I know why.

I recorded it so I can go back later and decide which ones I want to see.

I know I want to see "Bleak House". When Gillian Anderson was in High School she was good friends with THGGM's brother. Apparently, we met her once. She was the one driving the hearse. It seems like I would not have forgotten that, but truth be told, we spent a lot of time herding our children behind our backs when THGGM's brother and his friends were around. Many years later, Youngest Son was friends with her sister, and Gillian actually called him to wish him a happy fifteenth birthday. So you see, she and I, we're practically best friends. Although, I've always wondered if she knows that it was THGGM's brother who supported himself by selling unflattering videos of her to Inside Edition-type shows.

An out of the blue random thought just occurred to me. I have no way of watching these until we purchase a DVD player. The one we used in the past moved to Youngest Son's new abode, because it is his. THGGM rented "The Prestege" on Friday, only to discover we had nothing to watch it on. It still was questionable that we would have known how to operate it even if it were here, but that's an entirely different story (see how i said 'an entirely different' instead of 'a whole nother'?)

I don't believe we have any food left in our house. We did not go grocery shopping this week. I really should play one of those "What's in Your Fridge" meme's because mine would be appauling. I have four open mayonaisse jars in my refrigerator. I am so dreadfully fearful of mayo going bad, that I open a new one everytime I make something requiring it. We DID go to Walmart this week, so I am stocked up on the essentials that essentially have driven all honest business out of this country. I do not like to shop at Walmart. But, I faithfully followed THGGM to the place where the Brach's chocolate covered peanuts are the cheapest. Once when we went there, I thought THGGM was going to have a breakdown right in the candy aisle, because they had run out. Just so you know, when other people were stocking up in the event of a Y2K emergency, I bought a few gallons of water and several bags of Peanut M&M's. I was prepared, and unwilling to share (hopefully, i have matured in the passing years).

Over the weekend I located my copy of "Mr. Brown Can Moo". This will be the next book I memorize. I do not think that should be too hard, as I knew it all when my kids were small. Somethings don't stick with me as well as others. There is presently a line in "The Jabberwocky" that I miss everytime, but I can't remember where it goes. I just know it is missing.

Yesterday I changed the picture in my profile. It was there. I saw it. Today, the picture of me is gone, and all I can see where my face was is a red x.

I do not believe I could get any more random that this. I am too tired to think even remotely rationally, so this is all I've got.

Now, I'm off to check in the mirror to see if I am still here. Hopefully, I will not see just a red X.
