Just a note to say thank you for the prayers and good wishes for my husband. He is home from the hospital today, safe and sound. We are incredibly lucky-this is the same stuff Jim Henson (of muppet fame) died from.
Cellulitis/toxic shock is nasty stuff. To make this on topic, I can say that I went through 4 volumes of DS while trying to distract from worry--it really IS better than xanax!   [santa_smiley]

I was always very close to my Grandmother. She died some 15 years ago, but every once in awhile, I  know she is around because I smell the perfume she always wore-"Evening in Paris". So I just say, "Hi Grandma" and smile while going about my business. She is a comforting spirit-I don't think I'd like one like Quentin or an evil one-I would never buy a house that had one like that!

That is fascinating stuff! I am especially envious of the book on the Roma as good books on that culture are hard to find. My husband is that rarity known as a Roma Jew, and info on that group is especially hard to get. Is the book out of print now? Might be time to do a treasure hunt on line!    [read3] [book_study] [read] [book2]

I've been through the series going on 4 times now, and don't remember that. But I often get hooked into the story and don't notice things like that. I'm coming up on that volume soon again and will listen for that. Watching DS I always find something new each time that I never noticed before.

Calendar Events / Announcements '08 II / OT: Dark Shadows as Xanax
« on: December 31, 2008, 02:21:50 PM »
I have been watching DS for 7 hours straight now to calm my anxiety. My husband was admitted to the hospital today with a mystery infection that has swelled his arm to twice its size. In the process it has also increased his problems with congestive heart failure and they are draining fluid from around his heart on an hourly basis. It has also caused complications with both his diabetes and his epilepsy. I am home because getting a wheelchair, my ventilator and assorted supplies is too complicated to get going, and having been sick myself with pneumonia going to a hospital germ factory would not be a good thing to do. So, it is 5 AM, I have not yet been able to get to sleep and I have watched disc after disc of DS to try and settle my nerves and lessen the worry. It sorta works..sometimes I go 5 or 6 minutes without worrying!  But at least I have been able to use DS instead of taking a Xanax, so perhaps that would be a good selling point to get DS back on the air! Can you see it--"Take one hour of Dark Shadows to calm your frayed (or fried) nerves!"  OK, back to the program--Vicki has just disappeared into the past with Jeff/Peter, and Madam Somebody has confronted Quentin and paid for it...and if you happen to believe in such things, could y'all say a prayer or send some white light to my Beloved? I would appreciate it.   [pray]

Sounds like Alexandra ultimately saw him for the kind of person he was. Guilty or not, her statement here seems to show that she came to recognize a lack of character in him. It speaks to her own character that she went on to establish a wonderful documentary career making films that often spoke for those who have no voice.
I recently watched her "Scandalize My Name" about the Hollywood blacklisting during the McCarthy years. It was beautifully done, as was her film on the Danish resistance, "Power of Conscience." What a talented woman!
