Thanksgiving at my mom's was lovely. We ate turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, green beans, pumpkin tart and sweet potato pie. (The tart was better than the pie.) Then we watched An Education, which was even better than I'd expected.

This morning I finished reading Georgette Heyer's The Corinthian: cross-dressing heroine + world-weary fop FTW! I began to tackle the Fridge O'Leftovers by eating stuffing (plus an egg) for brunch, and watched Ryan's Hope and Days of Our Lives (DOOL proving they are more on the ball than the other soaps at the moment, by being the only soap airing a new episode during the holidays). Now I'm tackling the chapter 20 revisions. I think chapter 20 is the only chapter remaining in the Jo book that will require massive research. I hope. I hope!

I am taping The French Connection to watch with dinner--another NYC in the '70s film (and one which I have, somehow, managed never to have seen, aside from the famous car chase scene).

Perhaps I shouldn't have had that second pot of Wintry Blend coffee, but I love it. Speaking of Trader Joe's, soon I will venture forth for a small grocery run...

On today's Ryan's Hope, how I loved Jill ripping Seneca a new one regarding his relationship with Kim. One of Nancy Addison's best moments.

Seneca: You just don't approve because I'm twice her age!

Gwynnega: Twice? Check your math, Seneca.

Jill: No! Maybe you and a different 18-year-old would work, or Kim and a different older man. But the two of you together--that's some fucked-up shit.

Audience: Word!

Meanwhile...

Delia: [walks through Central Park]

Prince Albert: Ook ook ook! Raaaaar!!!

Meanwhile...

Joe: [on phone] Siobhan, let's be all lovey-dovey despite my lying ways and my complete inability to protect you from the mob.

Siobhan: Don't call us, we'll call you.
[hangs up]

Jack: [rubs Siobhan's shoulders]

Siobhan: So I'm thinking about getting an annulment.

Jack: Well, I am an expert on the subject.

Joe: Am I interrupting something?

Siobhan: I told you not to come here! You're putting us all in danger!

Joe: Let me "protect" you, Siobhan.
[attempts to hug her]

Siobhan: Stop it, Joe! Only my brother-in-law gets to do that.
