Oaklyn On My Mind

Started off with breakfast and Sailor Moon Crystal on Hulu. They finally start to deviate from the original show with the episode revolving around "Tuxedo Mask." Usagi is upset when he announces he's committed crimes in an attempt to find the Legendary Silver Crystal. The girls are even less thrilled when Zoicite, one of Queen Beryl's guards, uses their favorite Sailor V game to brainwash ordinary humans into finding the Crystal for him. Usagi runs off, but she's the only one who can save them when Queen Beryl herself attacks and tries to force the Earth to join her Dark Kingdom.

No trouble anywhere today. Uber picked me up this morning in 4 minutes. They took 7 this afternoon. We did have marble cake in the back room for Acme's Associate's Day, but I mainly spent the morning and early afternoon sweeping and pushing carts. It was lovely when I came to work earlier, sunny and relatively warm for this time of year, in the upper 40's. By the time I picked up the Uber going home, clouds had moved in and it was slightly cooler and far more humid.

Changed when I got home, then went straight into a nap. After I got out, I put on Ray for review while doing job hunting. I go further into this biography of soul musician Ray Charles featuring Jamie Foxx in an Oscar-winning performance as Charles at my Musical Dreams Movie Reviews blog.

Ray (2004)

(Oh, and it finally started raining shortly after I started Ray. It's rained off and on since then.) 

Worked on writing towards the end of the movie. Joyce and her friends do finally make it to the gates surrounding Televisia City...but they're shut tight. Charles' knock finally brings out a cheerful little fellow who looks distinctly like Bill Cullen...

It was 7:30 before I broke for dinner and Match Game '79. We get the finale of the original CBS run in this episode. Towards the end, Gene gives Bill Daily his jacket to try on so he can wear it at his wedding. (He must have really liked it. He's seen wearing it throughout the syndicated show's run.)

Finished the night as I worked on my review with the first episodes of the fourth and final season of WKRP In Cincinnati. The season begins with the two-part "An Explosive Affair" as WKRP receives its first serious bomb threat. Andy sends Johnny and Venus to their transmitter to broadcast, but it turns out that may not be the wisest decision. Meanwhile, Arthur is worried that his former secretary (Rosemary Forsyth) may have more than just business and talking old times on her mind.

Mr. Carson is horrified when the staff of WKRP consider joining "The Union." He considers it a betrayal. Les thinks it's a communist plot. Andy has to placate him and his mother while convincing the rest of the staff that there's other ways to get upgrades to their pay and the station.

Bailey's innocent offer of letting Johnny stay at her apartment while his is being fumigated leads to a lot of "Rumors" about what they're doing there. Nowadays, I doubt anyone would care what they did on their own time, but in the early 80's, Bailey in particular gets a lot of flack for it. She's upset when they give her Les' interview show because of it, but finally decides to do the best she can...and that there's no shame in letting the others believe what they want.
