A life of leisure is hard.  I almost fell over the edge into chaos when the On Demand stopped working and my Weeds marathon was cut short.  Can you believe this?  A blue error message flashed across the screen telling me to call  1800COMCAST for help.  I had no excuse not to call -  the phone was already in my hand and the number was right in front of me.  It wasn't laziness that kept me from dialing, it was sanity - nobody wants to willingly spend any time on hold with the cable company.  And then a miracle happened.  No On Demand didn't start to work but almost as good.  The phone rang and it was Comcast calling me!  They are now coming to replace the box!!  I'm really intune with the universe. 

My mother just got home. 

"Your sister isn't dead," she said flopping onto the couch.

"Did she have fun in the Hamptons? How did it go with that guy she went with?"  I asked.

"I wouldn't know.  I haven't heard from her since Sunday, but I saw she made a withdrawal from a Citibank branch," she said.

I didn't have to ask to know my mother hacked into my sister's Citibank account. 

"How do you know the murderers didn't make it?" I asked.

"Duh!  They would have taken everything and gone to the nearest ATM without a second thought about those fucking fees," she said.  "Obviously she's just not calling me back."

"Fascinating detective work Mom," I said as I changed my password to my bank accounts.

Kate call her!

THINGS I GOOGLED TODAY
It's been a lite day since I've been messing around with this site. 
I Love You Alice B. Toklas ! Peter Sellers movie, see Autobiography under books with lots of comments. 
Loehmann's and UAE - apparently a Dubai firm bought Loehmann's for 300 million dollars back in 2006.  Looks like Arabs love good bargains too.
