Have you seen that tv show “The Mentalist”?  It’s about a guy with highly developed skills of observation which he uses to help solve crimes.  It’s a pretty good show and I like the way the characters play off  each other and the funny ironic lines that Patrick hurls at his coworkers.  I didn’t realize that Simon Baker, the guy that plays Patrick Jane, is an Aussie.  There are a couple of Aussie’s in the new movie Australia which I just saw the other night with one of my best friends.  Wow, it was long…I didn’t realize it was a 3 hour movie.  I liked it though I think it could have been shortened just a tad.  Funny thing happened when I went to the Ladies room after the movie.  I was standing in line when a girl behind me said “weren’t you in the theater watching the Australia movie?”  I said “yes” and “it was a bit long wasn’t it?”and then the girl said “long?!, I was wondering why it was so short!”  I just looked at her dumbfounded.  It turns out that her and her boyfriend went into the wrong movie theater and saw the last hour instead of going into the one just starting.  I guess they know the ending now…that sucks, lol.

Lots of Christmas parties this week so I will be very busy with working, the website, and parties…I think I will need some Red Bull!   I did get some lovely gifts already and a pretty dress that I will wear to some of the events.  When I find some spare time I hope to watch some more Classic movies.   It’s one of my favorite pastimes to watch Carey Grant, Sophia Loren, Frank Sinatra, Barbara Stanwyck, and so many other great actors.  Here is a pic of the beautiful Ingrid Bergman…isn’t her dress gorgeous!
