UPDATE
CHRISTMAS AT THE POINDEXTERS
Unlike last year, I did not have a nervous breakdown at Christmas this year: No assasinations of World Leaders (i.e. Benazir Bhutto, that I must have felt),
or people off in TEXAS, hanging out 1/8 of a mile from my house, and going to bars where my friends play music.
So, this year, I summoned all my MOST POSITIVE ENERGY (which is currently on the Planet), and let my family realize that when Lesley/Isis is nice things can be really fun.
I did mention walking around in dark sunglasses last Christmas, because my eyes were swollen from tears, right? So sad. So very, very sad.
The night began with BRITISH POPPERS. These little toys have presents in them, when you snap! them.
However, I had my OWN IDEAS in mind.
I was thinking about the INDIAN HEADBANDS I had made for each member of my family.
"Ha Ha," I thought, "Wait 'til they see this !"
I played it really cool while we unwrapped the presents.... especially whilst we were looking at the RADIO FLYER SCOOTERS
my father insisted on buying because he thinks my nieces should exercise.
He works out Monday/Wednesday/Friday, because he was IN THE MILITARY and is very disciplined. Last month he bought them a pink tetherball.
I bought my nieces a UNICORN and PEGASUS. They were Big Hits.
I myself am a fan of PEGASUS.
They even beat the RADIO FLYERS, which my father said, "Should come with a package of Bandaids."
I knew it was time to bust out the INDIAN HEADBANDS.
I started with Heidi first, she is my sister-in-law, and is very "supportive" in nature to all people.
She is the kind of person who no matter what will always be patient, never be in a hurry and never be judgemental.
After Heidi's reaction, I knew I had a hit.
I had my screenplay, which I gave my dad, written, " From Isis "
Many of my "detractors" seem to erroneously think the name Isis isn't popular at the Poindexters, but actually, it is.
I bought my mother a blond wig, so she could feel like the Radical Hippie she so secretly longs to be.
No more FOX NEWS! No more George "President" Bush!
My mother was laughing so hard... 
She was crying.
My Brother
When I was little I used to boss my brother around, until one day, he threw me against a wall and said, "Don't ever touch me again."
*****
As a Special Gift to my friends out there, I am posting two GREAT CROCHET/KNITTING PROJECTS.
I am a crocheter myself, (as well as sewing, I sewed the red dress I am wearing) mainly because my Grandmother crocheted, and I like the fluffiness and depth of crochet.
I also like knitting, because of the smooth sophistication of the lines, but really, I prefer crochet.
I hope you enjoy these two patterns.
I just crocheted this SWISS MISS HAT a couple days ago....
I am posting this design because I think it is so cool looking.... I have heard knitting is very easy (easier than crochet because it has fewer stitches). Personally, I think they are both beautiful.... maybe this year I will learn knitting.
I am sure an ambitious or artsy person could modify this design and sell it at Art or Renaissance Festivals.
The designs are from this book I got for Christmas: JUST HATS
For those of you who would like to learn crochet, a young woman in New England learned as a child from her Grandmother
and started a website (which I learned from), called NEXSTITCH.COM . Click on "Traditional Crochet Videos" for information.
Once in Romania, at Dracula's Castle I bought a pair of knit slippers, and I think about how very important such things are.
Have a Very Blessed New Year.

LACI'S BIRTHDAY
Here is my beautiful niece Laci, on her 5th Birthday.
The National Rodeo Finals are on the T.V. in the background.
Here's a picture from Halloween, I seem to have neglected posting. I am the one on the right.
(In case you didn't know.)
I heard Keanu is afraid of Magic Tricks.
Personally, I am an "assistant", and I know NOTHING.
ANCIENT VISIONS
SUN CIRCLE
From the screenplay with KEANU REEVES, something like DANCES WITH WOLVES, or some other magic like that.
(Of course, I will erase that, because you're not supposed to say that.)
Merry XMAS.

****************************************
I have finished my script rewrite.
One of my favorite lines: "I don't find the Devil very funny, ma'am."
Speaking of the Devil, I just got a new phone, as I have "concluded" that either
a) The Secret Service has my parent's phone line tapped OR b) they check this website,
as those are the only two ways they would've known I was in L.A. last week.
In case you are wondering WHY the SS would be interested in me, that is because they seem to think
that I am the Mastermind behind some group called TERROR INCORPORATED which is trying to "get rid of"
George Bush.
What's funny to me about this, is that apparently they haven't noticed that 100 Million Other Americans must be involved, as they elected BARAK OBAMA.
REVOLUTIONARY
Doesn't sound like much of a conspiracy to me, or anything that would "warrant" (no pun intended)
looking between the mattresses at the hotel as I was last at.
One thing I can say for sure: They aren't gonna be gettin' this number.

MY GOODNESS
Here is Keanu looking oh-so-fine in all black. I like the black suit, black tie combo.
I know I said something about his black blazer, ahem, I mean, "MotorCycle Suit".
This outfit is great, however.
I did email Cheryl in October about some new VERSACE clothes. Click
HERE for that link ....You have to click on "RUNWAY - MEN" to get what I am talking about. I, unlike some others, don't "email" his people for passes and whatnot, as I am most likely banned anyhow.
Have a nice day, I have to get back to work.

excerpt from GRACE
I mentioned that I am on "vacation". Actually, it is a "working vacation",
which I why I am not going to be updating here for a couple weeks, as I am busy.
I didn't go to the NYC Premiere of THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, which some of you may have thought.
Here is an excerpt from the screenplay I am currently rewriting. TOAD (perhaps played by Keanu Reeves) has just finished a 4-year prison sentence
in California for methamphetamine production and trafficking. He has just arrived back in Texas, to see his brother.
DOYLE slides back the barn door. TOAD stands next to him.
Doyle gestures for Toad to go in first. Toad steps in and looks around casually.
Not much has changed.
Well, let's go take a look at her.
DOYLE
Not too dusty.
What?
Doyle pulls back the tarp somewhat flamboyantly.
Again, we see the BOAT. It is a 16-foot, beautiful handmade wooden fishing boat, made by Toad,
before he left for Prison. It is unfinished.
They pause, looking at it.
Got a project for ya.
TOAD
What's that?
DOYLE
Get this boat on the water, get her lookin' real sweet, maybe some CherryWood stain, some lettering,
get some riggin's in here, getcher motor....Whatta ya say?
Finally, Toad laughs.
I think you're leaving out one important factor.
DOYLE
What’s that?
TOAD
Your wife.
DOYLE
Ah, yeah.
Well, Toad, guess I'm just gonna have to lay down The Law.
Toad notices and laughs.
Yeah. You just go tell Kaylynn “How it's gonna be.”
Kaylynn is standing by the window, staring off into the distance.
We hear the FRONT DOOR SLAM and the noisy sounds of two men walking in.
Kaylynn is slightly startled by the slamming door.
Honey!
Guess who's gonna be movin' in with us?
Kaylynn pauses for longer than necessary.
Toad?
DOYLE
That's right.
(nodding his head, gesturing)
Come on.
EXT: FRONT STEPS OF THE HOUSE
They are coming out of the house. Doyle gives Toad a sideways glance.
DOYLE
Like that.

Isis is on Vacation until December 15th
STALKED BY THE SECRET SERVICE
It seems that the SECRET SERVICE is stalking me.
I called my friend Robert tonight, and he told me that the SS came into the Internet Cafe I go to on Hollywood Boulevard.
I apparently missed them by 5 minutes.
I said, "What'd they say?"
"They were asking a bunch of questions about you. They interviewed Martin for a half-hour."
Martin is my friend from Argentina. He owns the house I live(d) at on Beachwood Canyon.
My friend Robert said, "It gets even better."
Apparently, they watched us leave the crack-house hotel Robert rents called THE MARK TWAIN, which I stayed at (completely platonically) the night before.
They flashed the Indian dudes at front desk their badges and searched the room. Robert said, "It was clear they went through my luggage and looked between the mattreses."
I am listening on the phone to this, and I think, "What the fuck?"
He said, "Apparently they saw us leave, and then went into the hotel. Oh, yeah, and by the way, the Indian dudes asked that you never come back."
"What did they look like?"
"Oh, they were dressed kind of casual, but business-like, but with dark sunglasses."
I am sure they will be out at my parent's house soon. They never call, of course,
and my father got mad the last time they were here, because I was drinking wine (because they came AT DINNER TIME)
He thought I was being rude.
Anyway, I have no idea why they would want to talk to me,
seeing as that lying motherfucker George Bush is gone and I like Obama.

"HERE LITTLE CALFIE"
Ladies, this week I have put in my request for my Christmas Presents.
One of which is a CHEESEMAKING KIT
(click
here for details, my kit is the $170.97 version.)
I am sure that $170.97 is a small price to pay to make 350 Wheels of Brie and 350 Wheels of Blue Cheese.
The History of Cheese is this: It is over 9,000 years old, and in fact David in the bible was delivering cheese when he encountered "Goliath".
(I perceive this as a little Bible-Speak, like "Hey, cheese is VERY IMPORTANT." Just a little aside.)
I don't know if you know this, but cheese is NOT vegetarian. The way cheese is made (all cheeses, unless indicated),
is that an enzyme called RENNET, which is found in the stomach of a male, milk-fed baby calf which then "curdles" the milk proteins and then makes them solid.
The process of all cheeses begin this way, though there are some vegetable substitutes, including the herb Milk Thistle.
At any rate, you can buy tablets of Rennet today. They last a very long time.
If not, you can kill a baby calf, scrub the stomach with salt, dry it in the sun for a day
and then pack the cut-up one inch squares in salt or wine and dip it tied on a string in boiling milk.
In case you ever need to know this.
My father has about 20 calves, some Jersey, some Holstein. I think they are so cute,
but he has a different "mentality", as you can see by the photo.
At any rate, they are all male, so they are useless.
But I did discover a couple nights ago that it costs about $20 a day to feed 20 small calves. This is based on two bales of hay for the herd.
Apparently, my father doesn't like to buy bales of hay from Feedstores because they're "light", as in they are 60-80 lbs. instead of the 100-120 lbs.
he gets from private hay dealers.
As you see, in every aspect of the world, there is a "better deal".
But, I was impressed you can feed 20 head of cattle for $20 bucks a day. They are babies, of course,
and grain is a little more, but it makes you think about keeping a cow or three.
Here is my second Christmas request,
because I am tired of fitting clothes on myself,
as my sleeves always get twisted (sewers know about this.)
I hope you might become interested in cheesemaking, it is a great SKILL, and can bring you tremendous wealth. Why not get a Cheese Making Book?
I have a book that teaches butter, cream cheese, mozzarella, Brie, blue cheese, yoghurt and fromage blanc by Ricki Carroll
called HOME CHEESEMAKING. It costs $20.
Here is the link to her website, CHEESEMAKING.COM
As Colette says, " If I had a son who was ready to marry, I would tell him,
'Beware of girls who don't like wine, truffles,
cheese or music.'"
Here is a picture of my father, to end this entry.
.
They wanted him to be THE MARLBORO MAN but he declined because he didn't smoke.
Peace to your families this year, and Rememberence to your Ancestors,
who watch over you, still.
Love Isis

SUNDAY MORNING WITH THE POINDEXTERS
This morning at 9:00am, one of my father's horses got loose, fully saddled and was running about this fast down the road, 
IN THE FOG.
I was sitting here at the computer, and heard him race by my window.
I bolted outside, and saw my father looking VERY PISSED and this horse running down a road that people drive 70 miles an hour on, including Semi's.
This could have been a terrible accident.
The horse (which my father bought at an Indian Reservation), was snorting and spinning around, then I ran at full speed to cut him off from getting back on the road,
and .... MY MOTHER blocked him on the side of the stables.
She caught him. My father was so proud.
Then, he smacked that horse on the ass so hard.
Anyway, here is this week's
ZETA TALK.
Hope you find time to read it. You might need to click twice.
Love Isis

BURNING MAN
The theme of Burning Man this year is EVOLUTION.
I am sure it will be very exciting.
***********************************************************
You know, I kind of "feel" like I have a Mission in life. I personally feel that giving your all has a Karmic payback.
For example, (and I shouldn't really tell you this), but when -- in my life -- I have sincerely
(and that is the MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT) given my BEST to something... there is always a payoff.
It's kind of like working at a really bad job, but trying sooo hard, then 2 years later, without doing anything
you suddenly get over-paid and a better position...that is KARMA.
Well, I am too busy to divulge any further. I will just leave this post mysterious.
