Empress Elizabeth: "You can't live with seventeen imaginary lovers--what you need is one real one!"--The Rise of Catherine the Great

"When my peasants revolt, I should hang my governors"--ibid.


    Dreamed of seeing a billboard in London promoting the construction of a nearby shopping centre on "the Isle of Callay."


    I was going to go to the Bowling Meetup but I couldn't find my Metropass.


    Finally planted the head crops.


    When I came in, a saw my reflection in the glass in an inside door, and I thought it was Father!


    Dinner was scallops.


    Saw the DVD of the Korda production The Rise of Catherine the Great.  Pretty good, though Marlene Dietrich's The Scarlet Empress is crazier.  Flora Robson has a juicy role as her mother-in-law Empress Elizabeth.
