I want a bunny.  Or a kitty.   But, am not home enough for a pet.  Unless it was a pair.

Yard work is finished, later this year the house will be painted and a new front porch and fence will be renovated, so I can wait till that is done to do anything else.

Now I have to seriously concentrate on emptying out the storage locker down the street, rent is up May 31st.  I can move from a 10x10' to a 5x5' space if I need to.  

[Sam]

Goodnight everyone.

 

[vixmom]

I think we call that flower "cock's comb" or Celosia

that's it!

thank you Laura!!

[John G.]

Great bunny pix, Vixmom.

[Sam]

TO A WONDERFUL HEALTHY HAPPY WEEK FOR EVERYONE.

I'm heading downstairs and going to bed.

Good night!

"Who cooks for you?" is the call of the white winged dove that comes to Arizona for the summer.

[vixmom]

the Vixter wrote her own mothers' day card for me:

"What can I say...except for what you already know -
your love and compassion
have nutured me to grow.
Like the flowers in your garden,
when you get them weak and small
every year you do your best
to make them wonderful, one and all.
In the same way you raised me up
from a  tiny baby seed
and every day you gave the gift
of Mother's love to me.
So I want it known  I love you
more than I can ever say -
and at this point I'd like to wish you
Happy Mothers' Day!"


It may not scan perfecty but it made me cry anyway

Aww, that's very sweet, Vixmom.

When I have a queasy stomach, I sip Diet Coke. I absolutely cannot drink water when I feel nauseous.

I've been told coke should be flat.  I prefer seven up, only one sip each 10 or 15 minutes, too much of coke or 7 Up and make you feel worse.

I thought it was ginger ale that you are supposed to drink when you feel sick.

I forget if i asked this, but has anybody here ever seen CALIFORNICATION? Is it any good? Does it sound like something i might like?

I recorded the first few episodes (it just started here). But i haven't watched it yet. Not even sure if it is my cup of tea.

When I subscribed to Showtime, I never missed an episode of CALIFORNICATION.
But, I am one of the biggest fans of David Duchovny's work.
That said, CALIFORNICATION is full of agreeable actors playing very disagreeable characters.  The humor is dark, very dark indeed.  I liked the pilot and all of the first season, somewhere during the second season, I unsubscribed to Showtime and opted for HBO instead.  That decision had nothing to do with CALIFORNICATION.
If you're a Duchovny fan, you might be able to tolerate his character, and that of Evan Holder.  Though they are both rather despicable, their charisma carried a lot of weight with me.

I don't really like Duchovny.  And i'm not really a fan of despicable characters. I'll probably try it out since i've already recorded it. Interesting that DR Jane liked it but DR MattH did not.

If you haven't seen it yet, BlueGobo has posted a scene from the original Pacific Overtures on its site. This is what the Tonys used to be, a number not afraid to be 7 minutes long, filmed with care by cameramen who seemed to know what should be shown and how.

And great mother's day card.

Last night the Vixter treated me to a  local production of "13" - the lead was played by one of her classmates

it was a tiny blackbox theatre and the cast was really very good

the audience however.....



The lady in front of me - a grown woman at least in her late forties and probably the mother of one of the cast members, spent almost the entire second act texting on her phone - I had to keep holding my program up to block the light from distracting me

a teenage girl in the front row ( and mind you - the front row in this theatre  is level with the stage and not more than a foot from the actors) got up to dispose of her trash, not once,not twice but THRICE while the actors valiantly tried to pretend that some idiot was not standing up in front of them and strolling between them and the audience  to drop some trash in the garbage pail and then stroll on back   

then there was the little girl in the front row who decided to put on her  white sweatshirt during the finale - holding it and her arms over her head while slowly wrigglinginto it -  she at least had an excuse - she was only about 7 years old - but her idiot mother sat next to her and didn't assist her or stop her


It really was a crying shame. The kids on stage were really giving it their all and they were very good. They deserved a better audience

Pogue, I mentioned (probably here) that I was sending you a package - was waiting on CDs to arrive.

Ooooo!  Goody!

They behave worse at the movies and nobody seems to want to do anything about it. Is there anything that can be done about it, other than asking people to leave?

Stupid rude audience members- can't live with them and not allowed to shoot them...

[vixmom]

maybe I am turning into a crotchety old woman but my hands itched to snatch that woman's phone away and to tel lher  "you'll get this back when you learn how to use it appropiately"

I wanted to take that nitwit teenager by the hair and throw her bodily from the theatre

and the 7 year old?  - Someone needed to take her sweatshirt from her and whisper "just wait 2 minutes honey it's almost over"

[vixmom]

I do not understand why anybody would spend $20 to sit in a theatre and text message - the entire time- save the $20 and stay homeand text!

If it is truly an emergency - leave the theatre!!!

It is the apparent  complete lackl of awareness that gets me - all these people are wandering around the world in their own little bubbles - compleetly unaware - or perhaps simply unconcerned - with the impact their actions have on other people

Is this a New York thing or are people as rude and ignorant as this everywhere?

It's not a New York thing...people are just as rude and stupid everywhere.

I believe I posted about my theater neighbors the last time I went to the theater.

Got back in bed for thirty minutes.  Then I got up and a wave of nausea hit me so hard I thought I was going to vomit on the ground.  I got to the bathroom quickly, but only was able to, I think they call it dry heave.  And that's where we are thus far.  Not good.  I may have my friend go to the art fair alone, and I may go get some Tums (smut, spelled backwards). 

~~~Feel Better Vibes for BK!!~~~

Congrats to all involved in the Olympia/TAO Brain. It sounds like the PNW HHW get-together was great fun. Thanks for posting the pics, George.

Thanks Jeanne and you're welcome!

I just received this from a friend...

while sitting at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off thefloor and make clockwise circles.

Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right hand.



Your foot will change direction.

There's nothing you can do about it!
