Lucille Bliss has passed away, at the age of 96. May she rest in peace. She was the voice of Smurfette from 1984-1989 in the Smurfs tv series, as well as all of the 80’s specials. She may also be remembered for doing voicework for one of the stepsisters (never knew they had names, but she was Anastasia) in Cinderella. She also had roles in numerous other Disney and Hanna-Barbera titles.

Margaret Nicholas has passed away, at the age of 82. May she rest in peace. She directed the 80’s Transformers, The Glo Friends, Inhumanoids, Moon Dreamers, Potato Head Kids, Fraggle Rock, My Little Pony n’ Friends, The Addams Family (the 1992 cartoon) as well as many, many other shows. For X-Men fans, she was the animation director for Pryde of the X-Men.

In other news, sister got out of the hospital last night. And yesterday morning we got word that someone on Dad’s side of the family died. Due to our drama, he was unable to attend the wake (which would have been last night) or the funeral (which was this morning, in Louisiana). The florist we usually use for sending them something is temporarily closed due to the owner apparently being diagnosed with cancer. We eventually managed to find someone who would deliver there.

Meanwhile, Mom found Nellie’s room in the hospital. She’s only allowed ice chips now that it’s the end, but she’s still interested in slaughtering the nurses. She ordered Mom to bring her her mail—all three huge sacks of them, so she could mock the endless political things that had been stuffed in her mailbox. Mom complied.

On the Yuletide side of things, I just need to rewatch a couple more episodes of the show that I was assigned. I’ve come up with several ideas, and chunks that could go into the middle of the fanfic. I’m working on what I think the ending should be like, and a few other little, but important things, making sure I’ve got a handle on characterization, and then (since I’m currently recovering from a migraine) I’ll get started on it.

calliopes_pen: (empty_ambition TARDIS Stargate remember)
Steven Franken has passed away, at the age of 80, as a result of cancer. May he rest in peace. If he’s who I’m thinking of, he played a warlock who was henpecked by his mother, and had a crush on Samantha on Bewitched. Where he also played five other characters. He was also in an episode of the Adam West version of Batman as a valet, and was the voice of someone in Batman: The Animated Series. His best remembered role would be as the rich and snobby Chatsworth Osborne Jr. on The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, and for MST3K fans he ended up in Stranded In Space.
