Had a really nice phone conversation with the gentleman in charge of the publicity campaign for my latest published novel, "ABISHAG", with xlibris book publishers.  He is from the Phillipine Islands, a very knowledgeable, expert, and extremely polite gentleman.  As we discussed various aspects of the campaign, we also soon discussed the veraious aspects of yours truly, and I let slip that my dear husband of over 57 years marriage called Jason Isaacs, my boyfriend!  He thought this was hilarious and said the name was familiar.  "Is that not the handsome cruel Col. Tavington from the movie, The Patriot", he commented, laughing.  And I of course confessed that to be true and he said, he preferred that role of Mr. Isaacs to his role in drag in the green sequins.  He also likes Lucius Malfoy well enough as a handsome evil villain, and we discussed other films which he had seen.  He is an avid fan of American and British movies, and a fan of Jason Isaacs.  Very nice to find a fan in a non-english-speaking country.

I wish I could say that I believe Kath loves Mike Caffee, and that he loves her!  People keep telling him that Kath is the best thing that ever happened to him, but is it really true?

Maybe we need a definition of love!  Mike was right to tell her he could not cope with her having his baby.  I do not see her pregnancy as a light from above!  Maybe, if he had not been beaten by Declan, that wonderful cop who thinks he did the right thing in almost murdering Mike, the sexual heat between Mike and Kath, which is built mainly on old-time memories, could grow into a loving relationship.

Kath describes Mike as an animal in bed.  Is that necessarily love?  Come on now!  Since when does that mean the same thing as treasuring another person, enduring their good and bad sides, making the harsh decisions yourself and not blaming the other companion in life.

If Kath really loved Mike she would know he could not cope with her pregnancy, with her changes, with her presenting him with a child for which he must take a full fatherly responsibility.  I think Kath is lucky Mike made the right decision.  And I think part of his decision should be to move on, move ahead, move past the girl of his youth, and grow up!

If Mike is to survive in the dangerous world of his business -- murder, mayhem, and mobs-- he must find his strength in himself.  He has plenty of it.

Lucius, my favorite son, in fact the only son of Malfoy Grandma, has done so many strange things, things which have gotten him punished by both Wizards and Muggles.

The muggle flunky/slave, Isabel, who is composing and writing the definitive book of Malfoy Genealogy and History, has decided that from her vast exposure to the adventures and misadventures of Luscius Lucious, he, and I, both need a grand new Personal Motto, and she has dared to work on same, translating it into Latin for our edification!

English version, based on comments from various interviews with prisoner Lucius Malfoy:  EVERYTHING TO EXCESS

Latin version:  OMNIA NIMIS (the very sedate interpretation)

                                    Latin version:  EXDUBERANTIA IN AETERNUM ( the more deliciously wicked

                                     interpretation actually meaning WAY TOO MUCH INTO ETERNITY

When Kath asks Mike about selecting colors for the nursery paint, he says he doesn't know about colors!

Maybe one could study Mike's family experiences, to see just what we might expect from him when it comes to life and being a father.  A good look at his father shows us a mean, angry drunken man who does not know anything at all about being a good father to his sons, or a good husband to his wife.  Mike knows his own father is no example except a bad one.  Mike did his best to replace that horrible father.  The larger problem here is to avoid blame!  When we get too involved in saying "Mike is dysfunctional because of his father," then surely in fairness we must ask, "who do we blame for poor Father's dysfunctionality?"  Is no one to be held accountable for his own actions?  Well, that is a question for smarter people than me! 

Poor Mike!  Picking a  nice innocent eggshell white for the old ceiling, is quite as far as he can go.  When it comes to succky off green, labelled creamy cucumber by some desperate ad-writer, he jokes, "Are we gonna eat it or put it on the wall?" which is just about what that name deserves!  However, succky green it is, and finally Mike, who has spent the day actually worrying and trying to think straight, through his injured brain cells and his injured psychology of non-fatherhood, finally cannot get past knowing the only real fathers he knows are ugly murderer Freddie Cork who strangled the poor boy who loved his oldest son and otherwise likes to watch Michael murder Freddie's victims, but still has all his children (is it 5, at least) playing MONSTER with the two little ones and bragging that he had them baptized because that is what a Catholic must do!  Poor babies!  How will they escape the cycle of murderous father and compliant mother with no morality at all? 

Mike consults brother Tommy about baptizing babies, and finds his three nieces are firmly baptized.  But he must finally decided what to do, and he makes the best decision!  "I can't do it... I just can't do it!  No half and half fatherhood for Michael Caffee, poor Mike!  Poor Kath, who thought he would!

The progressing characters in Brotherhood are really excellent!  Adding Irish cousin, Colin, was a real touch of genius, and the actor is just great!  He adds a fine real Irish touch to the Irish Mob, which had been just a bunch of Americans or pseudo-Americans with expert accents.  This real Irishman with his rather pathetic seeking for a father he cannot have adds another sympathetic character to this group of murderous hoodlums.

I had been wondering just how far poor Mike would go wandering down the pathway to salvation through love and becoming a socially accepted member of suburbia!  The scene in the paint shop was really great!  Mike Caffee the murderer choosing paint for a nursery!  Has he never been a father before now?  I always thought he might be the real father of one of Tommy's girls, but that has been my error, though still a possible secret.  After all, the heat between the actors playing Mike and Eileen, is still there though it may not be deliberate.  Personally have not cared for the blonde Kath, the ease with which she slid back into being Mike's sweetheart when her husband and the father of her kids is still there, and pathetically wishing to be back home.

And about that Freddie Cork!  Seeing him sit there willing to torture and torment and threaten his stupid associate crook just reaffirms what a really nasty creep he is!  Of course the awful way he murdered the boy who loved his son had already given us his true character.  Freddie is way more creepy and murderous that Mike or even Silent John could ever be!  Freddie hides behind his jovial grin and pays others to do the wicked things, as he watches, enjoying the sight of Mike breaking bones for him.  Freddie really ought to die soon!  He can't get much more evil in my sight.

I love the new images from the internet, so I made a wallpaper of some of them.  This is the finest new portrait of Jason I have seen in a long time.  The ruffed collar and the nice controlled real beard set off that handsome villainous face.  Perfect!  I made a new LaEscorial Conspiracies video for youtube, so go look for it!

Episode 5 is a violent banger!  Mike has a really scary incident of brain damage seizure, and could have killed both himself and Kath, though he finally comes out of his lack of memory and automatic violence to let her go.  Poor Kath!  She has to tell him she is pregnant, and he seems happy at the idea.  But during one of his roughneck assignments he vandalizes a beautiful suburban home for Freddie and likes the place so much he wants to buy it!  I am surprised that the bank would tell the realtor who Mike really is!  Around my town, the banks have long served as money laundering places, by selling prime real estate to drug dealers, both here and along the beautiful coast, especially on our barrier islands.  But that is aside!  Mike sees only the lovely house, polished and beautiful, and the manicured yard with lush grass and flower beds, and he sees his Kath in that setting.  But Kath is not exactly convinced.  She is facing the reality of who she and Mike really are! 

The best part of this episode for me was when MamaCaffee took poor Colin to meet his father, Judd, the once-powerful politico on The Hill, but now reduced by age and illness to a chair-bound cripple who hardly knows who or where he is, let alone who Colin or his mother might be!  Rose was probably only doing it to hurt Judd's mean wife, but it was still a good thing to do.  The scene where Colin understands the condition of the father he has sought for many years is excellent.

Happy Halloween to everyone!  Here is a card someone sent me but they did not say they made it, so I do not know

who to credit.  Anyhow it is nice, and sort of fun, so enjoy it.  

The

 second picture is my own greetings to Voldemort on Halloween.  Do I really believe The Dark Lord needs a card to remind him of his own personal favorite holiday?  Of course!  We all enjoy cards and reminders!

and third is a card for all you Brotherhood fans, some nice images of Mike Caffee on a wallpaper I made and keep up on my computer screen.  I love those poor sad eyes he

has, now that he has been altered by drunken blows to the back of his head!....... Not only Drunken blows, but cowardly blows, showing Declan Diggs' true character!  Too afraid of his childhood playmate to fight him fairly, the despicable idiot. 

What a wonderful Episode, this episode 4 of Brotherhood on ShowTime.  Every actor had a great new stab at something different, and the very best part to me was the Adventure of Grandma's Blue Car!  I loved every minute of it, having once had a teenage child who would sneak off at nite trying our Dad's big station wagon, and getting caught by the city cops, who called us to come rescue the fool!  Lucky he never scraped that car of Dad would have exploded!  But seeing Kat and Eileen together was just wonderful for me!  And when she took out that gun and said Mike had taught her how to use it, and all that, GREAT!  Of course, seeing clearly that Granny is jealous of Kat, and being mean as a snake to Colin too, was very good!  So maybe we should ask just which man is Colin's father?  Did his errant mama, Granny's sister, have a fling with one of Granny's boy friends?  Is that why Granny is so irate with poor Colin?  Well, back to the girlies--smoking pot and sharing sexual images, that was just great!  Now I am left with a wonderful image of Mike (Jason) as a wild animal in bed or on the floor or anywhere he can catch her!  I just love that image which they leave there for me to imagine instead of showing it to me!  I am from that old school which prefers to not SEE everything concretely, but rather to be told, with hints and laughter, something which I can elaborate upon in my own nasty Granny imainagion.  Thanks, BrotherHood for really good episode!

Looking at the script and acting for Episode 3 of Brotherhood, I just have to say WOW! That fellow playing Declan, the rogue cop who clobbered Mike at the end of the first season, has really gotten some wonderful actor chances!  And he takes them ALL!  But what might happen if slime-ball Moe (and isn't he GOOD at his role?) accidentally lets fall the knowledge that Dec is the one who almost murdered Mike?  And now Freddie Cork is wiggling around trying not to have to battle the Italian Mafia?  Great looks from Freddie, that waffling around, trying to look brave, trying to be smart!  I liked it that Silent John, Freddie's private assassin, was the first to do the honorable thing and kick in cash for Pete's funeral.  I wonder that SJ hasn't reported more of Moe's slimey sneakiness straight to Freddie.  Or has he, and Freddie keeps it to himself!  Nice writing!  And I  liked it that Eileen admitted her friendship with poor dead Pete, and it was nice of her to go to that funeral, where only she and Mike, whom she has formerly loathed, are the only ones there.  Very nice.  And now we see the use of Cousin Colin!  He makes an excellent replacement as sidekick to Mike.  After all, he really is family, and has in the past admired Mike as a replacement father.  Mike can use all the help he can get.  I really enjoyed this episode, and will probably watch it several times on ShowTime, which offers it at many times and nites!  Thanks to Showtime for giving us this great series!
