My DVD did NOT get delivered today.

The UPS truck did not even STOP here.

I'm a bit PO'd since the UPS tracking service indicated my DVD was "out for delivery" since 7:17 a.m. today.

Oh, well.

It's time to go home now.

Ann Coulter doesn't have nice tatas like that.

I like in TO CATCH A THIEF when Grace Kelly says to the French gal:

"Would you like to stand in shallower water and argue about that?"

They were of course comparing their figures in an oblique way in water up around their necks. Very smart and clever, Mr Hayes.

Good grief! Don't any of these people on this Million Dollar Spectacular know how to play these games?

I'm becoming the go-to guy at work.

I had a regular register today, not even express line.

"Can you go outside and relieve Mike, so he can take his break?"

I go outside and wrangle carts.

I get back inside.

"Can you take over the self-check lanes, so Gwen can take her break?"

Yep, I sure enough took over the self-check lanes for another fifteen minutes.

And, later in the day, subbed for Danielle for yet another fifteen minutes on self-check while she took a break.

It breaks up the day.

Steak night here in Reboboth Beach.

With shoestring fries, onion rings, and a nice wedge of iceberg topped with blue cheese.

Simple, yet yummilicious.

(Thank-you, esteemed Brushes K, for helping me get onion rings in mind.)

We're watching a British TV film called TWO OF US, which reportedly was filmed with two different endings for airing 20 years ago, due to concerns about a TV film being too gay-friendly.

I have had my telephonic conversation and it was a good one. I've agreed to move the alumni fundraiser show one week later, so that it's not so much in conflict with the LACC foundation's gala, which is on October 20th. So, we've pushed one week to November 5th, and now I have the full support of the LACC foundation and all their mailing lists. He's also asked for my help with their gala, in structurning their evening and making sure it's entertaining, and I've agreed to do so, and in return he's agreed to make sure we're fully funded, even if the Foundation has to help.

Watching the finals of AI - very tense for all involved. Recaps of last night's singing showed just how astute the HHW'ers who critique the show are....it was just as they called it.

Now we shall see....Mr Elliot Yamin will be singing sometime during the hour.

We saw the plasticized bodies at the museum today. I think I had seen them all on television, so nothing new there. What we found fascinating were the organs and joints and things in the cases.

Good evening dear Esteemed, telephoned, funded, lithe, and buxom BK --

And a very good evening to the assorted cookies here in the Living Room. I just got home a bit ago, after a very long work day.... Gad, I'm out of practice at sticking to the grindstone for 8 or 9 hours in a row.

But, at least it is some billable time.

The hours will translate into some yummy dinners in NYC this summer!

SPOO!

TACOMA, Wash. — Two Union Pacific freight trains derailed early Wednesday between Tacoma and Olympia, disrupting Amtrak passenger rail service, railroad officials said.

My ex-boyfriend works for Amtrak, but he works on the Seattle-to-Chicago round-trip run. Fortunately, his train doesn't go where this happened.

SPOILER re the film TWO OF US

Apparently, the ending was re-filmed so that one of the two male teens chose to end up with his girlfriend. The version that's circulating now has the two guys ending up together, happily.

I had a very interesting day. It was pretty normal until this afternoon. There was some mess up on a case assignment and it ended up going to another lawyer, so I volunteered to copy the file and take it over....now you have to understand, I never deliver things, it gives our investigator something to do, but this time I just decided I wanted to.

I walked out our office door and there was my insurance guy, he asked me to step in and now I'm all set on my office ins, I left there and went to deliver the package in the Frances building. I was going to an office on the 6th floor, so I got in the elevator and when the door opened I walked out.

I was on the wrong floor and there was the building manager. We were in front of the office of a lawyer who died in a car accident about a month ago, sad story, any way she said the executor of his estate just happened to be in the office right now and she had just mentioned to him that I may want to buy some of the office furniture as they are selling all of it.

I went in and it was nice stuff, at least Jeff's office, anyway, the executor made me an offer I couldn't refuse so I bought the whole room, desk, credenza, lateral file, bookcase, leather chair and leather side chairs. It was wonderful I only need a mover to take them from the fifth floor to the second floor.

Then I had to go try to get out of the desk and lateral file I already bought. The guy wasn't happy about it (scratch and dent, probably all sales final, I didn't ask) but I was very nice, I didn't explain the why just that it didn't work and remided him he hadn't delivered anything. He said we could work it out.

The descriptions of that exhibit have sounded fascinating Laura..... I'm glad that you went and saw it. I've considered seeing if my nephew might like to go to it. He has always enjoyed the science museum, and has won a couple of science fairs, and he's 13, so I think it would be of interest to him.

Wonder if there's an alternate ending to GONE WITH WIND someplace....the one where Scarlett does end up with Ashley?

Plastic bodies.....are you sure it wasn't a Hollywood Exhibit, DR LAURA?

Very intriguing story, DR CILLA LIZ....right place right time.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #295 on:** May 16, 2007, 06:23:32 PM »

So, I am most happy. Without talking figures, I got all of it for $200 more than I was paying for a desk and lateral file alone. And it all seems to be in really good shape.

Things had gotten me off track a little over the past few days, but this was so cool. The building manager said she mentioned my name and the elevator opened and there I was. Too funny.
