Netflix is being super cool. Because “The Wedding Banquet” wasn’t available in local shipping center they are sending it from another place. Meanwhile, they sent an extra movie. That is nice of them. I love “The Wedding Banquet’ and I wanted to rewatch it and was a bit sad not to get it this week. So yay!

Highlander “Something Wicked” and “Deliverance” Really a two parter. How do you know if your good character turns evil - he gets an earring (somewhere in the middle of the ocean too) and wears black. Very good two-parter too. Duncan was very gleeful when he was about to kill Richie. Good thing Joe was actually doing his job and witnessed the earlier quickening. Methos is just the perfect person to help Mac. Definitely the ‘best of friends.’ Mac didn’t kill Sean until he saw Methos, though.

We went to Brooklyn this morning and ended up staying for a while. We stopped by Brighton first in a repair shot since our vacuum needed some repair. Since it would take a few hours, we had time to kill. We went to visit my grandparents and ended up watching a tv program on Russian tv about a Russian composer who died at 50.

I filled out the day planner I got in Minsk. Every single school child in former Soviet Union uses this type of planner, where they record homework and grades and where parents need to sign every week. (One time I really didn’t want my parents to see a note about a refusal of dental appointment at school, so I sneakily made my grandfather sign it. Mama found out about it six month later when she was looking through the planner, but she did not get mad about it.) When picturing days of the week I still think Mon-Wed, Thur-Sat like the planner shows on its pages. So I bought one in Minsk and that is what I will use this school year. It is very patriotic toward Belarus too.

Mama and I were cleaning out the room downstairs in preparation for Papa’s medical stuff. Lots of going up and down the stairs.

I was going to watch “Invictus” but I really really hate having to be forced to sit thought more than 10 minutes of previews with no way to get to the main menu. It is fracking annoying. I let it run in the background but really it is ridiculous. So I didn’t watch the movie today.

Creative Arts Emmys were today. Mia Michaels got an emmy for her choreography last year. Definitely deserved.
