WEEDS

"What if she [Nancy] dies?" "She's not going to die!" "Why not?" "Because there is no God"--WEEDS

I went to 2Q Video and rented the eighth and last season of WEEDS.  It's a pretty crazy show about widowed soccer mom Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker, as funny as she's sexy), who sells marijuana to pay the bills, and her mixed-up extended family.   Kevin Nealon is especially funny as Doug the crooked accountant, recently on the make in the Wall Street corporate world.

The first couple of seasons were the best; since then it's been going over the top a lot.  They started out in a California suburb and ended up going on the road, moving to New York, and now they're in a Connecticut suburb.  Nancy's been involved with a drug cop and a Mexican cartel head, and even did a prison stretch (to cover for her younger son).  At the start of the latest season she got shot in the head and it turned out to be the work of the son of that drug cop...

I finished translating that book of Portuguese fairy tales. (Three of the six stories involved the Devil.)  So I went back to the Portuguese bookstore and bought a children's history of Portugal and ten booklets telling about Catholic saints.  I've started translating that history book and learning about the ancient Lusitanians.

I still haven't finished the score for "Je Crois Entendre Encore." (Drawing phrases is really difficult in this software!) But I have the main part finished.
