So, Mom and I have been discussing my bedroom. Yet again. Frankly, I’m tired of living in limbo. I have so many ideas of what I want to do in here but have yet to actually implement any of them. It’s frustrating. Anyway, we’ve been talking about window treatments. So I’ve been trying to find styles I like and just for kicks did a search on Amazon for “pink”. You would be amazed at the products that come in pink these days! Kitchen appliances, gardening tools (even garden hoses!), in addition to the usual sheets & towels. Anyway, I think I found a style of curtains I like which Mom should be able to make easily with sheets. But what I’m really searching for on Amazon is pink laptop cases. *g*

Tonight on TV, we have a new episode of Primeval which I’ll be recording because I’ve fallen behind on the series. Plus we have a new Doctor Who expanded episode (75 minutes vs 60).

Wrote about one page last night. Whew! I’m glad I managed to write that much.

Reading: Finished up The Wizard of London and now I’m reading Cat Breaking Free by Shirley Rousseau Murphy. I’ve read books before where cats are main characters (the Midnight Louie series and the Mrs. Murphy series). In these, the cats do talk to each other and to other animals. But this series has cats that actually talk in human speech! They’re Very Special cats. I was kind of startled when I first realized that. But now it’s kind of fun.

I gave up watching CSI: Miami for various reasons. Now I may have to start watching again. Eddie Cibrian is apparently joining the cast. I love him. But I am so sick of the show. Oh well. I’ll just have to bite the bullet.

On this date in 1939, film censors gave the green light to Gone With the Wind but they fined producer David O. Selznick $5000 for “objectionable language” in Rhett Butler’s famous closing line. How the times have changed!

And on this date in 1945, the FCC allocated airwaves for 13—count ‘em, 13!—commercial TV stations.

Not a lot on tonight on any of the hundreds of TV stations we have nowadays. There is a movie on Fox I may watch called Virtuality which might be good. We shall see.

Wrote just a few sentences last night. *sigh*

Reading: Still reading The Wizard of London.

It was reported a little over an hour ago and has now been confirmed that pop icon Michael Jackson went into cardiac arrest this afternoon and has since died. He was only 50. I loved his music back in the day. But his life sure turned into a freak show in later years.
