Well, you've read the notes, you know that today is a day for Mothers, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're celebrating Moother's Day.
-
And the word of the day is: CREPITATE!
Smoke on your pipe and put that in!
And now - Dino at the piano.

First post of the day! Huzzah!!

Happy Mother's Day to those of you with the title!
When do you want Adam's number, MR BK?

So....what a nice quote....almost hard to believe, but still interesting:
"Ever since I was a little girl in Florida, I have wanted to create a role on Broadway." It's a great goal, but where did she get the idea? And why did Disney do an extensive search for "Mary" wasting the time and raising the hopes of countless actresses, only to cast the woman who was playing Belle in their Broadway BEAUTY AND THE BEAST?
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, Tina, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?
-
I do not like the word of the day.
I do not like it to do or say.
I will not comment in any way
Upon the chosen word of the day.

Good morning, all! I have absolutely nothing to report.

Yesterday on the American Idol Message Boards there was an important topic discussed:
Kat Denies Being a Scientologist.
This was soon followed by a thread titled:

Poor Elliot is taking a bashing for his choppers and his vibrato....which I think a LOT of people on that board think is a garment worn port de bras or something sold on the internet by Doc Johnson.

It took me a while to figure out why my gut was so sore yesterday when I was at work. Was it a reaction to the German food der B and I had on Friday?
No, I decided it was from having been punched too often by a fifty-pound puppy named Angie, who decided to wrastle with Fletcher on my bed after we had returned home. Did she care that she was repeatedly landing on myself, who was trying to lay down for a mo', with her full weight on a single paw? Of course not.
This is a pup who needs an active boy or two.
-
I think your diagnosis is correct on both counts, DR SWW.
-
Good morning!
We have a lovely day here. I'm sitting in my office with the window open enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. Perfect spring weather.
-
Happy Mother's Day to all the HHW moms out there!
-
I have one fewer show to watch tonight as COLD CASE is preempted by all the SURVIVOR hoo-ha. Gives me a chance to watch DVDs right up to 9 p.m. tonight.
-
I have THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE to finish this afternoon, but after that, I really don't know what I'll select to watch. And I'm not definite at this stage whether it will be something previously watched (MIGHTY APHRODITE sounds good) or something just received. Decisions, decisions.

Odd feelings about Mothers' Day this year - as you might guess. I think I'm going to put away the pictures. It's time.
What a gawjus day here! Feels almost Too Bad to have to leave for a matinee! Yes, The Actress is feeling a small conflict about going to the theatah! Well, i have the morning to feed the birds and walk around the garden, NOT weeding... that'll be hard!
Last night, I had just gotten into bed around ten or so - when I heard a small commotion on the deck... suddenly there is a little face at the window - a small bandit in a black mask peering in at me.
I got outa bed and turned on the deck floodlight, and a young raccoon just stared at me. I ran to the kitchen to get the bag o' cat food, and brought it into the bedroom, opened the door. He stepped back a few feet, but just kept staring at me as I filled his dish. I hadn't even straightened up when he came to the dish - so I just left the door open and sat in the doorway, not 18 inches away from this wondrous little guy! I did get up to get a robe once - he just kept eating. Then I lay on my stomach in the doorway, my face about a foot away from his, and watched him eat. At one point he started drinking the filthy water from my little fountain - so I took the other bowl to the bathroom to get fresh water - I put it down right next to his food dish - he was a little scared, but then dipped his paw in... Ah! water... then bent way down to drink. Back and forth between the food and the water, and all this face to face! I'm going to hate to leave here tomorrow afternoon, to do the show, stay in Seattle overnight, and head back to LA Tuesday morning. But I'll be back by a week from Thursday. Oh, it's just bliss here in the spring and summer, I tell ya!

Hmmmm....
Some dark clouds have rolled in and I'm thinking we may indeed get rain in a little while. Bummer.
Anyway, off to start on the usual Sunday chores.

Sunday morning greetings! It's a drippy, dreary Mother's Day here in SW Ohio. DS Rob and DH Richard gave me very mushy cards and a box of Russell Stover assorted dark chocolates. Our official celebration was last Sunday with a lovely lunch with my mother, Richard's mother, and my aunt. I might take my mom and aunt to Graeter's for ice cream later, if the weather clears up a little.
-
It is indeed a beautiful day in the Pacific Northwest. It is supposed to be in the mid-seventies today and then take a giant leap to the mid-eighties tomorrow. GOOD GRIEF! Oh well, I guess it is fitting that it should be hot as Haydes on the day I go for my hospital pre-op appointment. The other night I got a call from the hospital wanting to do my pre-registation prior to my pre-op. I wonder if accident victims are required to pre-register if they think there is any chance that they might need ER care?

Overcast but NOT raining yet!
More news:
TRAPEZE with Burt and Tony (and Gina) is on TCM tonight. I haven't seen it since it was shown on the ABC Sunday Night movie when I was much....uh...slightly....younger. I seem to remember it was pretty exciting!

Today is May 14.
Today is Mother's Day, of course, but I think it is also the day that Publisher's Clearing House is supposed to come to my door and hand me a check for $1,000,000.00, or maybe it was $10,000,000.00. Either way, I guess I should stay around the house and wait for them . Now, let me see, there was some phrase they sent me a few weeks ago that I was supposed to say when they gave me the check; and, if I did, they would slip me an additional $5,000.00 cash. Hmm, what did I do with that e-mail?[/size]

TCB - thanks for the vibes - it feels very uneventful, somehow... kind of - dare I say it? - anti-climactic after last night's raccoon partay... I'm about to go out on the deck with my bag o' peanuts for the blue jays... at some point, I'll get around to preparing my actual work for the actual job...
Is this what happens when you let your hair come in silver??? Life just seems so mellow here in the forest. No real inclination to interrupt the serenity with anything so drab as driving to Seattle to do a play...
-
Penny O, you are welcome to the whole family of raccoons that uses my apartment's parking lot as their dining room. Coming home from rehearsal or performance, I often encounter the entire family on their way to the giant dumster. Daddy is not exactly the most even-termpered fellow where his family's safety is concerned.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
I have my one glorious day off today. Going to the Farmers Market in a bit. Then walk around Studio City and check out some of the little shops. Then, if I feel like it, I might treat myself to a pedicure. Then home and maybe reading, a DVD...
Tonight I'm invited to a charity (for breast cancer) silent auction/party thingee which is just up the street -- don't even have to drive.
And I got a lovely e-card from DD in Budapest in which she said she loved me and I was her best friend. Can't beat that.
Nice pic, TCB!

Thank you for the Mother’s Day wishes. We are currently on the phone with Keith’s mother. Craig sent email from work saying his home computer is down which means I won’t get to see him on webcam today.
While I didn’t get called Bryan’s best friend (really nice Maria), he sends beautiful sentiments of love in his cards.
Happy Mother’s Day & a good day for everyone.

Well, my sister is having a family get-together today at 4:00 p.m., and she needs me to come over NOW to help her. I haven't taken a shower and I still need to do a little shopping. I have a card and the "main" gift, but I'd like to get some chocolate covered macadamia nuts...my mom loves them!
So, that will be my day, until "Desperate Housewives" starts...then it's TV time!

I think the rescue crew would have been of more interest to me, TCB.

With all this talk of Il Divo and Mario Frangoulis, I have discovered a new singer that some of you might enjoy...and he is a baritone, which makes me particularly happy!
Patrizio is a singer from Italy with his first CD out...I just happened upon it at Borders...quite a crooner!
His debut CD is available in English and in Italian...I haven't decided which I will get, yet.

Back from a nice walk (saw Ed Begley, who was selling his enviromentally-safe products at the Studio City Farmer's market, ran into dear reader Maria, who called out my name, and was eating a large phallic corn-on-the-cob with great elan, and then I came home and jogged - not only that, I went two blocks further than I normally do.
-
Had a great Mother's Day lunch with my family in Brooklyn at a place called 86 Noodles. My brother kept calling it 86th Street Noodles, and didn't have the address. Googling with the wrong name for the restaurant was no help, but somehow we all ended up in the same place at the same time.
The restaurant added an automatic 15% gratuity because we were a party of six; I think the waiters may sometimes end up losing money when they do that, because the service was quite excellent and I think many people would be inclined to tip more generously than 15%, but maybe they know their clientele. We gave a little extra, but I would think others might not.

Cilla - Thanks again for the encouraging words about trying the Marriott Residence Inn chain. A real find!

TCB - lovely new avatar!

...A lovely Mother's Day so far (even though the person who made me a mother is far far away...) Indeed, as bk described, we met at the Market. He described my phallic corn-on-the-cob -- which was delish -- but neglected to mention the guilty pleasure purchase he showed me in his little brown bag: chocolate licorice!
And I made a purchase from Ed Begley (all the money goes to charity - "a Newman's Own kind of thing" as he described it) -- I bought a flashlight that never needs batteries. You shake it for 30 seconds and it's good to go. The funny thing is that after I left his stall, I took the flashlight out of its wrapping and couldn't make it work (or I couldn't see the light because it was so sunny). So I went back and asked him to test it for me. We finally wound up testing it in the back of his environmentally efficient car, which was parked behind his stall -- and which had a dark corner. It worked. (Don't go there! Too easy.)
-
The dark clouds rollsed right on by and didn't drop a speck of rain on us. Now, it's all things bright and beautiful (a Sondheim reference).
-
I finished up THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE earlier this afternoon. In years between visits to this film, I always forget specifically who lives and who dies. I think the writer made a brave choice in his last person to die, not whom the audience at the time would have expected to die at all.
-
Then, I put in the director's cut of DAREDEVIL which I bought on sale this week (along with THE DETECTIVE and THE INNOCENTS in a buy two get one free sale at DDDVD). I've always enjoyed the theatrical cut of the film while recognizing that it did seem incomplete and a bit rushed. The director's cut added 30 (to my mind) crucial minutes which fleshed out several characters, added an entire subplot, and made the film more appealing to me.
While still a comic book movie for sure, I still found it more appealing than, say, SPIDER-MAN which I still don't understand the wild appeal of.
-
DR TCB - watch the movie!!
Ah....interesting DRMATTH....I may seek that out, we may be the only two people in the world that liked the movie!
-
Ah....interesting DRMATTH....I may seek that out, we may be the only two people in the world that liked the movie!
Well, it grossed over $100 million at the box-office, so somebody else MUST have liked it, especially since if it hadn't been popular, Fox would NEVER have sprung for a SECOND (albeit very different ) DVD of it.
-
Now, I'm very undecided about what I want to watch when I go back to the TV. I may put in some CSI episodes from various seasons to lead me up to 9 p.m.
And, I haven't decided whether I'll watch DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES "live" and record the first of two L&O:CI episodes, or watch L&O and record HOUSEWIVES. Am definitely recording THE SOPRANOS.
-
Then, I put in the director's cut of DAREDEVIL which I bought on sale this week (along with THE DETECTIVE and THE INNOCENTS in a buy two get one free sale at DDDVD).
Matt, how soon will you be watching THE INNOCENTS? I will be interested to read what you have to say about it

Couldn't stand either Spiderman or Daredevil - for me, both were complete bores.

Matt, how soon will you be watching THE INNOCENTS? I will be interested to read what you have to say about it
I watched it off the Fox Movie Channel some months back, right when the DVD was first released, and I was stunned by its impact. I had only seen it on TV before in a dreadful pand & scan transfer, so the widescreen compositions and the gorgeous black and white photography floored me. FOund the whole thing haunting (no pun intended) and completely mesmerizing. I'm looking forward to enjoying the anamorphic transfer of the DVD soon.

Wow! I mean, Ed Begley has been dead since 1970! That he's still this committed to the environment, thirty-six years after rejoining it, that's really something!

Hello DR Jose. Good to see you back.

...Needless to say, I've been busy... If I was able to have a computer keyboard in front of me while I work instead of a piano keyboard, well then... And I've been working a lot both at The Palace and other locales. Otherwise... Lestat is still running... We go into the studio next Monday to record the cast album... :D And I'm still having a wonderful time in general with the show and living in New York. *And I finally got a New York cell phone number!!!!
That's all for now... I'm just taking a little post-show break at my friend's office, and then we're heading to dinner. Things are supposed to be a little slower this week for me - two days of day-work instead of four or five - and I should be able to check in here on HHW in the mornings at least.
Hope everyone is doing well, and, trust me, I fully know that I fully deserve a big ole bitch-slapping for being so errant and truant over the past couple of weeks. -Just when you think you've caught up on life...
Laters...

Hello DR Jose. Good to see you back.
It's good to be seen.

Yay! DR Jose has risen! Is this Groundhog Day? Halloween?

What if DR Jose sees his shadow! Say you will hang around!
-
OMG!!! Mamma Mia!!! It's DRJOSE!!!
Speaking of which... A whole bunch of people from the Mamma Mia! tour are now back in New York City. Some of them have joined the Broadway company, others just decided that four years on the road was enough for now, back to terra firma. One of the people back from the tour is the merchandising person, Vick - he's now in charge of the Lestat merchandise at The Palace. -Anyone want a baseball cap and/or t-shirt at cost?
;)
*And Vick's wife, Lauren Mufson, played Donna on the tour for about two years. They both left at the same time, and are enjoying their time back home.

OK... Now we're off to dinner...
Laters...

So exciting about the cast CD. Will you be able to take pictures?

DR ELMORE I got a book about musicals and there is photo from a 1903 production of BABES featuring William Norris and Mabel Barrison sitting in front of a brick wall holding Mother Hubbard's children while they sing "I Can't Do the Sum."
I figure since it's in this book it's a familiar photo, but if you haven't seen it or want a scan let me know.
-
What caused the bus fire, DR MBARNUM?
-
Hmmmm.... I'm surprised TCB has not made any comment on that yet! Real surprised am I! :D
Maria told me I couldn't go there.

We're still blaming you for everything, Jose.
Just so you'll know.

So....what a nice quote....almost hard to believe, but still interesting:

And why did Disney do an extensive search for "Mary" wasting the time and raising the hopes of countless actresses, only to cast the woman who was playing Belle in their Broadway BEAUTY AND THE BEAST?
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, Tina, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?
I've seen Ashley Brown twice, in a performance of On the Record and at a benefit singing A Change in Me. She's really great. I wonder if they were worried that she might be too young and/or inexperienced so they did a casting search just to make sure that she was right. We used to do that at Nick, have an actor/actress in mind, then audition 100 more just to prove to ourselves (and the producers) that our first choice was really the right choice.
-
Good that dear reader Jose came back - someone was on their way to the Palace theater to bitch-slap him from here to eternity and hell and back.
-
That's right... because you need a flashlight!
BUT.... since when are obeying orders???!
Flashlight vibes to TCB.

Rodz and I had brunch with Ben and Ant this morning. We walked into a restaurant in our neighborhood (one of about three) and realized, doh! it's mother's day, the whole world is out to brunch. Luckily the had an opening and we were able to get a table. At first they told us that they weren't accepting any more reservations, we would have to wait "a while", and that we had to wait inside the restaurant, we couldn't wander about. After a look was exchanged with the hostess he said, oh or you can sit there, gesturing toward an empty table for four...

DRTPUNK Mr Burt Lancaster & Mr Tony Curtis are in TRAPEZE tonight on tCM in about thirty minutes. Gina Lollobridgida is in it, too, but if I remember correctly, I couldn't understand a word she said, so I don't know what her character is all about.

I am afraid you must be playing for the wrong team, Jrand! With Miss Lollobridgida, in both TRAPEZE and SOLOMON AND SHEBA; it didn't matter what she said, but how she looked when she said it.
-
I watched SOLOMON AND SHEBA last week on Trinity Broadcasting Network (of all places). Apparently, Paul and Jan don't care about the quality of the acting, as long as the Lord is served.
-
I always think of those Biblical epics as being big budget, high quality films, with the possible exception of John Wayne as the Centurian (was that THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD?). But S AND S seemed to be an all-time low in quality. I could swear that I saw Judith Anderson in the film, but she certainly isn't listed in the credits.
-
I've finished the chord charts and am prepared now for the pianist tomorrow. I also rearranged two sequences in the second act, wrote a few lines of new dialogue to make each work in their new place and we'll see how it feels when we run it - if it doesn't feel good, we'll put it back the way it wuz on Saturday.
-
Put 'em back, the way they were.............

DR ELMORE I got a book about musicals and there is photo from a 1903 production of BABES featuring William Norris and Mabel Barrison sitting in front of a brick wall holding Mother Hubbard's children while they sing "I Can't Do the Sum."
I figure since it's in this book it's a familiar photo, but if you haven't seen it or want a scan let me know.
DR JRand55, thanks for the kind offer! You might want to post the photo anyway, since I've driven so many other DRs mad with my BABESmania! We have a copy in the office made directly from the original Byron photo in the NYPL Theatre Collection. It's a famous photo, but it's fraudulent in that William Norris was not in the number with Miss Barrison, who was a rich young lady in 1903, thanks to her popular offstage activities with many of the stage door gentlemen. She died in 1912 at the age of 31, from tuberculosis.
I assume you're looking at Ken Bloom's 101 MUSICALS? I love Ken, but he got the plot for BABES totally wrong in his summary.

Speaking of which... A whole bunch of people from the Mamma Mia! tour are now back in New York City. Some of them have joined the Broadway company, others just decided that four years on the road was enough for now, back to terra firma. One of the people back from the tour is the merchandising person, Vick - he's now in charge of the Lestat merchandise at The Palace. -Anyone want a baseball cap and/or t-shirt at cost?
;)
*And Vick's wife, Lauren Mufson, played Donna on the tour for about two years. They both left at the same time, and are enjoying their time back home.
I'd love a t-shirt at cost!
-
Stanley Green's Broadway Musicals is the name of the book.
DR ELMORE I have S/S on tape....I can't understand anything she says in THAT movie either, but as you say the SuperStructure on display is certainly eye catching!
-
Mr BK
Congratulations on your notations.
Joy and felicitations.
Clap your hands
And slap your knees.
I can't say more
Must watch
Trapeze!

Just in case there is anyone who cares, the final episode of Survivor Panama is on tonight. It's starting here in 1 minute...

Oh elmore, are you working on BABES IN TOYLAND now?

Well, DF Ann and I were all set to cook up some burgers for dinner on a new little gas grill we bought this afternoon, only to learn from DN (Dear Neighbor, in HHW speak) TCB that any little barbecue grills are apparently verboten here in our little apartment complex. Sure would've been nice if we'd been informed of this by the manager at some point! Ah well, at least we found out before we used the thing so we can still return it.
...but the burgers tonight just won't taste quite as good.

Oh sure, Jed, blame me for ruining your barbecue!

Not at all! I blame Nathan for not telling us we couldn't use one, allowing us to get our taste buds craving grilled burgers!
-
Well we did just here about a BIG fire on the bus out there in the Northwest....could have been barbecue related.
-
And listen, all you other Mothers out there who are errant and truant - get off your Mother butt cheeks and tell us what's the haps.
Church this morning, lunch out with the kids, a nap on the couch which was interrupted by the telephone.

This just in: On Wednesday DD is having brunch in Pareee with DR Francois!

WOW! The international HHW connection at work.

Maria is that flashlight small enough and bright enough to read with at night?

How exciting!! :)

What is the point of insulting François, if he isn't even here to read it?
-
Fell asleep on the couch like so much fish, but just for a half-hour. Now I'll finish the lovely Japanese motion picture I'm watching, and then maybe I'll... maybe I'll... why I don't know WHAT I'll do. And I'm jiggy with that.
-
Good heavens, are those New England floods going to head south into New Yawk?
-
Maria is that flashlight small enough and bright enough to read with at night?
It's actually not as bright as I thought - but it will do in an emergency. You could read instructions with it. But I wouldn't attempt a book!
-
Thanks Maria.

I had a super lovely day. It was too nice to see a movie so we went for a walk in the park along the creek & visited the duck pond. We saw baby Mallards & Wood Ducks and an adult Mandarin Duck. Then we walked around town stopping for ice cream. I had peppermint stick.
After we returned home we sat on the deck & had cheese, crackers & German beer & wine, the wine was for me, beer for Keith. Bryan called while we were relaxing & we all had a nice chat.

TCB- ;D

This morning while listening to the radio I heard some male singer butcher TEACH ME TONIGHT. Finally during dinner I put on my Jo Stafford CD & heard the song sung the way it should be.
For dinner we had big, beautiful, exceptionally delicious artichokes.

Hey, I will go to any lengths to keep BK's bitch-slapping machine in the closet garage.

I think we've just made the decision to change the title of the short story collection (which I'm starting to have to get serious about if I want it out in September) - I know several people here liked the title we're going to use -
How To Write A Dirty Book and Other Stories.
I like that title also...
-

I'm glad to hear that my new CD is getting lots of air play in Oregon!
-
Dakota! I thought you got locked in the library!
-
TCB I suspect you can sing better than that.
Cute! We had basmati with the artichoke. Keith also had a veggie burger-I was too full after the cheese and crackers.

TCB...
ARe you playing a bodhran?
-
I have too many freinds: Mischief, mayhem and bedlam to be locked in a library....
-
TCB it is aged rice from India & more tasty than regular white rice, IMHO.
-
I think I will go read for a wee bit until Keith is ready to watch something.
'night.

Aged rice? I think that is what they threw at my bride.

Oh elmore, are you working on BABES IN TOYLAND now?
Whatever gave you that idea?

I heard they threw boxes of rice!

Back after a nice afternoon with my DS - we went to a bookstore, took my mom and aunt for ice cream, then came home and watched the conclusion of West Wing. I have just finished putting sets of kid bedding and towels and assorted fabrics in plastic bags to contribute to a garage sale - all labeled and, in the case of the fabrics, measured.
-
TCB - I love the new photo.
Bk - yup - like the new title. It'll make people pick up the book and look at the back, anyway. You can't get them to buy it if they won't pick it up to look at it...
All DR's - thanks for so much excellent vibe-age. The show went quite well - but there wer more of us on the stage than in the audience... it isn't exactly the type of play you take Grandma to see on Mother's Day... plus - such a gorgeous day OUTSIDE - who wanted to sit INSIDE to listen to a reading??? The Q and A and discussion after was quite lively and fun - I look forward to tomorrow night's reading - when I think we'll have a full house. Strange play, i warn ye...
-
What caused the bus fire, DR MBARNUM?
That I do not know. The newspaper did not say.

Thanks to all of you who complimented me on my new avatar. I am still looking for one that has absolutely no light, which I think will be much better.

I was at my sister's with the family: the food and dessert had been consumed, the Mother's Day gifts given and much conversation was taking place when I got a call from the people whose house and cat I've been watching for the last three weeks. Rita said that they're still in L.A. and are running late. They won't be in until after 10:00 p.m., tonight. TONIGHT???? I thought that they weren't coming in until tomorrow! (I didn't let on that I was expecting another day to clean up. ::))
Anyway, I'm at their house now, and will gather all of my stuff, my dirty clothes, my DVD player, my VHS tape (the kind that Elmore is so fond of! ;) TMI...TMI!!) and leave in time to catch most of "Extreme Makeover: Home Improvement." The cat is inside, has been fed and everything looks okey-dokey. It's been real, it's been fun, but it ain't been real fun...just kidding. ;D They pay, so I really don't mind. :) It'll be nice to sleep in my own bed again, though.

Watched two musicals tonight before settling in with network TV.
First up was SUMMER HOLIDAY which I returned to after watching it three or four weeks ago. I have been playing the soundtrack album a fair amount in the last few weeks and have those songs on the brain, so I watched it. The Technicolor looked very rich on the laserdisc.
-
Loving that rich Technicolor look, I picked the 1951 SHOW BOAT on DVD to watch next. The color is VERY deep in that bare bones DVD. I understand Warners is working on a new boxed set of SHOW BOATs for 2007 with all those versions and hopefully will do a restoration on the 1951 SHOW BOAT. Most of it looks just wonderful, but when that fog rolls in for "Old Man River," there's lots of problems with the transfer, and there are assorted speckles and some dirt and reel change markers throughout.
-
I squirmed and shifted uncomfortably in my chair throughout tonight's DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. I can't remember an episode that made me feel so ill at ease before. The few lame moments of comedy just didn't work for me, and everyone seems to be in such a bad place at the moment. It was just a very unsatisfying downer of an episode.
-
There were two LAW & ORDER: CI episodes on tonight, and I watched the second one "live" (recorded the first one during DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES).
I had no idea Jamey Sheridan was leaving the show. That was the biggest surprise of the night. The case was an OK mystery.
-
It was nice seeing DR Jose here tonight. I hope he can come back soon.
-
I'm off to bed now.
Good night!

I am home and watching TV. I missed the first half of "EM:HE," but I made it for "DH." That's what's important. :)
-
Gotta go! It's about to start! :D
-
TCB it is aged rice from India & more tasty than regular white rice, IMHO.
I made it for the very first time EVER a couple of weeks ago and the rice that wasn't burnt was actually pretty good. :)
-
It must be WUSSBURGER TIME again.
-
OH MY GOODNESS! What was Izzy thinking on "Grey's Anatomy"?? And they're having the last episode tomorrow[/i] night? And it's a two-hour episode...I've already set my VCR, just in case a co-worker, who loves the show, misses it, which she has before. ::)
-
The local news is predicting that for tomorrow, Western Washington could have record high temperatures...as much as 85° F in Tacoma! They said that the record at SeaTac airport is 82° and they're predicting 85°!
-
Send some of the heat this way. It is cold...
could use some sunshine also!
However I should be in bed since I start day hours tomorrow but I am not tired... Not a good situation.
-
Today was a lovely day and not too hot (except in my car).
-
This wussburger wants cheese :)
-
sounds like a nice day... It has been cloudy here for over a week.... BEginning to suffer from the lack of sunshine!
-
Had a nice weekend to re-center myself and do some writing. Some unpleasant things are coming up in June and I needed to prepare myself and try and shrug off the rough week I had this past week

Frenzy!
