Helenka, Queen of Outer Space

Amazingly enough, I still remember that magnificent flying sequence, with the lush soaring strings accompanying it ... so many decades later. RIP, Margot Kidder. At least (I hope it's true that) she died peacefully in her sleep.

Speaking of sleep, I got all the way to 8:04 which pleased me (yes, I'm so easily satisfied, lol). Today was my day to eat weird things. I'd let it ripen a bit too much, but finally ate the dragonfruit. It was weird. Imagine slightly finer kiwi flesh with tinier seeds and hardly any flavour. So, not going to do it again though I'm sure it was very healthy. And, now, I'm longing for yellow plum season (which I believe will be in June).

Watched a rather disappointing SNL from this weekend. There was no political cold open (because they were all about the mothers, dontcha know) and the skits left me indifferent.

Got a reaction via FB from my chosen special MuM. I wish she didn't live so far away, 'cuz then I'd visit her in her retirement residence. Right now, I have excellent clarity on my computer screen, so I'm going to try to take advantage of it and read without straining my eyes.
