Midnight Kiss

As Donna and I were ringing in the new year, and, apparently, this year is a leap year
(The exact quote from me was, 'February 29 is international leap year day-this country can count to four!), we kissed at midnight night. Four minutes into the new year I turned around only to find out that we are high enough above the city to watch the celebration that is shown on television from her terrace. It was beautiful, but I couldn't get to my camera, which is on my laptop, which is a Dell that doesn't require wifi. To film, it takes a minute to go to a You Tube, or similar camera. But the display could be seen reaching up over the buildings with its different colors of light. She had been saying that we have been together, have been lovers, for six months, seven really. I asked her to go out on terrace with me to look. She invited me to film the celebration in July from the terrace. This was from a different angle, the Harbor, not the river, but the night sky was black as distance and space, with large green circles in the air. Half of the pizza from New Years Eve is still left for tommorow- I brought her Christmas photos home for her for the new year; I had bought her a dvd player and six films for Christmas and there was the luck of the photos being printed on a DVD.

Donna took me to another movie, I gave her a poinsettia.

The poinsettia that I gave Donna is still healthy after two weeks. It's a four inch tall miniature poinsettia, which I like better.
Tonight we went to another movie together. The last one was My Week With Marilyn, and the trailer should be included in this blog under the appropriate label. We attended an all you can eat pizza buffet last night and had planned another buffet for this afternoon, but neglected to go. Its seldom that we have pizza together (I had nearly stopped altogether when I was lifting daily).

Donna said Thank You for Last Night-Scott Lord: Universal Sherlock Holmes Trailers

Postscript: This morning Donna said, "Thank You for last night." We were awake untill late and showered in the middle of the night. Within my new novel, I want to work on her having said, "That's because you make me feel beautiful."- I had given her a compliment just as we were about to go to bed and may interweave the responsorial into fiction.

I wrote what is below last night. It happenned to be that I was listening to "The Speckled Band", the last words heard spoken during a night of murder, and an installment in the series entitled "Double Zero". Interstingly, it was an adventure that was depicted on the airwaves of radio by Basil Rathbone, but the earlier screen version starred Raymond Massey, which would be of special interest if you were listening to the radio broadcasts, which are more numerous than the films, after having seen all of the Basil Rathbone-Nigel Bruce films.

While with Donna I have returned to a NIGHTLY practice of listening to old time radio. The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce are better than I once thought.
In the past week they have covered Holmes under the name of a Norwegian explorer in Tibet, the daughter of Irene Adler appearing in Sussex 1909 and Moriarty appearing in a 1908 stage play version, much like the William Gillette version, playing himself on stage in front of Holmes.
After the half hour I try a new Old Time Radio show that I've never heard before- last night was Boris Karloff in Lights Out (The Suspense-Escape series), sometimes I'll try a Weird Circle or a Murder at Midnight or a Murder by Experts- the CBS Radio Mystery Theater and The Shadow were the two that I listened to when young, and am stilled more than pleased with.
Tonight it seems like I'll be listening to another in that I'll be typing at the computer and it is easier than listening to music while typing.

I need to look for more trailers that will combine with these.

Donna and Jane Eyre

Donna was out this afternoon and unavailable for a screening of Jane Eyre. Although we had lunch together, she had an appointment during the afternoon. The version that was screened that we were invited to apparently is fairly recent.
