I took the photograph of this flower in the courtyard outside of my place. See? I don't just photographed nude girls!

I really wish I had some land of my own so I could start a garden. I really want to get back to nature, I believe it makes me feel better to notice plants and trees.

Old English gentleman who tend their gardens know something we don't.

I watched the DVD of "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" from 1939 with Basil Rathbone as he goes head to head against his archenemy, Professor Moriarty, who when he isn't tending his own English garden is planning to steal the Star of Delhi gem from the Crown Jewels.

To distract Sherlock, Moriarty starts sending anonymous threatening messages to one of my favorite actresses Ida Lupino, who looks so hot in this film.

Moriarty is such a great character! Everyone else believes he's a good man, but time and time again Holmes proves the Professor's vast intellect controls a network of crime.

He's one of those evil guys you can admire, not like say, Hitler.

The History Channel is showing, "UFO Files" and this one is about a group of scientists Hitler has building UFOs and flying saucers. It's great stuff with actual photographs.

Those Germans were so smart and organized. How did they lose?

Why is it, that every great thing, like the pyramids, were built by slaves? I'm sure many Jews were worked to death to build these Nazi flying saucers, if not used as the fuel source to power of them like some Hebrew Dilithium crystals.

In an old Ray Bradbury story, train engineers traveling near the Pyramids would stop and cracked open some sarcophaguses and steal mummies to toss into the furnaces because they burned hotter than coal.

Why does it seem that it takes evil to do good things? Is it simply no one wants to do their own work? And no one wants to pay? No one wants to take the time, they want instant results. Gardening takes time. They complained and fight about illegal immigration, but they don't want to pay their Gardener what they should.

Professor Moriarty knew that one must cut wood before he's cold. Quality work takes time. He wasn't into carjacking or the quick thrill at the ATM, he was slow and methodical and that made him imperceptible. Some people were completely unaware a crime had taken place, he was so good.

I saw the film, "The Hours" the other day and and completely enjoyed it. Ed Harris, who is to me an amazing actor, plays a writer who spent 10 years on one novel so complex few people enjoyed it or even finished it.

Someday I will finish my novel, but I am too busy watching a documentaries about Nazi UFOs.

Also, it's too hot to write!

I should be teaching my Workshop, but the heat drains all the enthusiasm from me.

Today I was recognized from photos of me on this page! I was approached by a man and his wife who were looking for acting classes for their daughter and they had found this page in a search. I was standing in line at Ralph's getting my weekly supply of Kraft American Cheese when he asked if I was who I was...

It was kind of cool!

We talked for a while, as the line was slow and we learned a lot about each other. I think they are signing up for the Workshop! I just hope it cools down soon, but I was listening to the news on KFI and it sounds like triple digits for the next two weeks.

I was so depressed about the news of more heat, that I got online and searched for cool temperatures around the globe. Just knowing there was some place in the world that was cool made me feel better. I went to check ticket prices to see if I can afford to fly there for the next three or four weeks, but what is there really to do in Antarctica?
