Hey, I just couldn't let the coincidence slide, okay?
Earlier today, I took myself to the first film of my new A*List...
and what a beautiful piece of science fiction it turned out to be!
Gorgeous cars from the 1950's, gorgeous dresses from that period, and gorgeous old music!
But the best part was the parade of cars from the rather new subdivision every morning, brilliantly hued metal vehicles with high fins and shiny chrome, all pulling out of their drives at the same time as the husbands headed across the desert to Project Victory.
Gorgeous!
It rather reminded me of the scene in "Edward Scissorhands" when the men were all going off to work while the women stayed home.
Such a different period of time.
And what was the name of that matinee movie today?
I'd been taking care of business on the computer and lost track of time.
Suddenly it was almost 7 PM and my belly was growling.
The sidekick of ribs and sliced Gala apple from earlier had definitely worn off.
What to do about dinner???
How about 'instant' sweet potato casserole?
(That's mashed sweet potato from Tx RH, about half a cup each of milk and applesauce, heated and served atop the Special K "pumpkin spice" cereal. Spur of the moment recipe I made up that'll be worth a repeat!)
So, that's what I was eating while enjoying one of my favorite episodes of TBBT.
It was "The Earworm Reverberation", with Sheldon driving himself, and everyone else, crazy as he tried to figure out the song he was humming to himself.
As it turned out, the tune was about his unspoken feelings for Amy, whose patience had worn out, leading her to leave him and start dating others.
Sheldon had thought he was fine, but his brain knew better, so it had rifled through its mental jukebox and found the one song with the right words.
Meanwhile, Sheldon is going to record stores and asking anyone he meets about the tune.
Finally, he learns the song is "Darlin'", by the Beach Boys, and after analyzing the words, he realizes that Amy is "the fabric softener of his life" and the only woman for him.
Of course, as soon as he knows what it means, he heads off to Amy's apartment to share the news with her, but she's hosting a dinner with a new guy.
No worries; the new guy is utterly infatuated with Sheldon's brain, so he steps aside when he sees who is at the door, only stepping forth to offer advice as he sees fit.
What kind of advice?

Right place, right time, for me!
