Tonight is the return of Lost!!! :whoo: :cheer: :wave: Not that I’m excited or anything. *g* It’s also the premiere of a new show on ABC called Eli Stone which looks entertaining.

UPDATE: I forgot to mention that we get a new Smallville tonight, too!

The weather has turned nasty here. The National Weather Service says we could get 4 to 6 inches of snow, but the day started with sleet. Yuck!

In the “It’s About Darn Time!” news, Duane “Dog” Chapman (the bounty hunter dude) has finally won the battle with Mexican authorities. A 3 judge panel in Mexico has ruled that he cannot be charged for going down there to drag back that bastard rapist Andrew Luster. Hah!

Read through 30 pages of the 1920s murder mystery and made more notes. Then I made some notes on a new story idea that’s been tickling my brain.

Reading: Started Strong Poison by Dorothy L. Sayers which is one of my favorites. We meet, for the first time, the woman who becomes the love of Lord Peter’s life.

Whew! It was insanely windy here yesterday. Judging from other blogs, we weren’t alone. We had a high of 64 yesterday, but after the winds came, it dropped down into the 40s and I think we had lows in the 20s. Crazy!

Tonight I’ll be hunting ghosts and UFOs with Ghost Hunters and Sci Fi’s new show UFO Hunters. So much more fun than reruns. *g*

I read through 30 pages last night and made more notes.

Reading: I’m still reading The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club. It isn’t one of my more favorite Dorothy L. Sayers books. But as soon as I finish it, I can move on to Strong Poison which I like a lot more. I might even have to watch my DVD of same to see how they compare. :)

There isn’t a lot on tonight, but one thing that is on is the 1924 silent movie Beau Brummel. It stars the legendary John Barrymore and Mary Astor. I usually prefer my silent movies to be comedies (love, love, love Harold Lloyd), but I sometimes watch dramas just for atmosphere/inspiration. I’ll be recording it, though. And I’ll watch my treasure hunting show on the Travel Channel. The hostess is going in search of dinosaur bones and petrified wood. (That’s another show that’s useful for inspiration.)

In our never-ending wacky weather, it’s currently 64 degrees. What’s up with that?! And they’re predicting “strong thunderstorms” this afternoon. I could so live without that, thank you very much.

Read through 20 pages last night on the murder mystery. Made some notes. I need to do some streamlining because I’ve got too darn many suspects.

Reading: The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club by Dorothy L. Sayers. More 1920s inspiration. This one was written in 1928.
