They're talking about the gay lobby in the Vatican on TV.
My mind went to: the Ritz Carlton near the Signature Theatre.
Outdoor Adventure
YAY - a picture worked. Now I'm really leaving.Have fun.
They're talking about the gay lobby in the Vatican on TV.
My mind went to: the Ritz Carlton near the Signature Theatre. that has a very gay lobby. Ostentatious, but tasteful. But thats in Arlington, not the Vatican.
Today is the nifty fiftieth birthday of my DN Laura, who was with me in NYC for DR PennyO's show back in 2005:Lovely picture.

And the word of the day is: SPELUNK!
Not Amfitheatrof. Amusingly, I posted about the clip on the FSM board and someone guessed it in about thirty seconds, which was shocking.
Today is Richard Sherman's 85th birthday!
Thank you, Mr. Sherman, for a lifetime of pleasure.
A new Jason Graae DVD would be MOST welcome.

Jane sure goes to bed early. She never did back when I first knew here and she was fifteen. She could actually stay up till eight or nine back then.
BTW, DR Jane, I think that was one of the creepiest things I've ever read.
That is creepy. Definitely don't accept him. Some people are creepy. While others just probably friend everyone they come into contact with. Either way you don't know him, and since he can't even spell ... well I would click ignore.
8th Avenue has been closed off because of attempts to rescue stranded window washers hanging off the 46th floor at 57th Street.
I'm sure she is not actually going to bed. Probably just closing down her computer or reading.
You say 'bourbon stains' like that was a bad thing.
I agree with DR Jennifer's response, DR Jane. Except the "can't spell" part, cause then you would have never accepted my friend request.
Jane, did you watch the original "Lost Horizon" recently? The library copy came in while I was on vacation, so I haven't been able to watch it until now. Anyway, just wondering what you thought of the dialogue between Thomas Mitchell and Edward Everett Horton. It seems like Mitchell is trying to pick up Horton, or Lovey, as he calls him, every time they talk.
I beg your pardon!

I wasn't going to accept even before receiving the "odd" message. I have plenty of other people I haven't accepted that I actually have a nice relationship on FB through groups or friends. If I wanted more friends they would be way ahead of this guy. Basically I'm only accepting people I personally know or have known in my youth.
As for "ignore". I can "hide" him from my page and only "ignore" if I click on his page and see his invite. I don't get it.

I just double checked it. If you just click on the friend button it says "confirm" and "not now". But if you click on "see all" at the bottom you will get "confirm" or "delete". I'm not sure if that makes sense. But at first you are just seeing it in a small screen. If you click "see all" it becomes your whole screen and the wording changes.

All right, time to do a few things before I settle down to read.
I love a good fruitcake - no liquor please, just honest-to-goodness fruitcake - however, it's hugely caloric, worse than pie.

AMAZON SALE!
I just noticed that Amazon currently has a 10% off sale going on for all 10 plays in THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS collection.
Normally priced at $7.50 each, they are now listed at $6.75. And, the anthology of all 10 plays is currently marked down 17% to $20.67.
I have no idea how long this sale will last, but if you were planning to purchase any of these titles in the future, now might be the time.

Funny, I avoid the ones without liquor as they usually don't have enough flavor for me. Do you avoid the ones with it? Can you always tell without looking at the ingredients?

And I am home! I had hoped to be out of Toyland by 1:30,but by the time I finished up the vocal score edits and tidied up for Friday, it was 2:30. There's an unwritten law that as soon as I leave the building on 27th Street and head for the bus stop, the bus comes and I miss it trying to cross Sixth Avenue. So, I had to wait for the next bus, and then at Broadway and 60th I kept wondering where the hell the 104 buses were. Now I know: 8th Avenue has been closed off because of attempts to rescue stranded window washers hanging off the 46th floor at 57th Street.
Now . . . a trip to the post office. There must be a full moon!
Nice to see a spiffed up area...
Been on the busy side... Working part time over night hours at a youth treatment facility. Granted, I am not what you call qualified from the educational standard so I work overnights babysitting sleeping kids. I also clean. Better than nothing at the moment but the overnights are wearing on me.
Dental work is proceeding. Through a dental program I am getting my teeth fixed. Have had two surgeries already and possibly one more... At least the Sinus infections are go so that is a good thing.
Getting back to creative writing. I'm actually finding writing to be a good release. Still doing genealogy.
Presently on a hunt for a new apartment. The one I am living in has been sold and the landlord is kicking everyone out of hte building and we have to be out by the end of hte month. We were informed the Tuesday after Memorial Day. Not a lot of time... Not a lot of apartments available that are reasonably priced. They are either expensive or owned by one of two slumlords: Goldmark and Van Raden.

I would like to post that my East Coast Patty Melt was delicious.
BTW, the reason I ordered such a thing at an International House of Pancakes? That, my dear DRs, was the first place I ever had a patty melt. Ever. Cleveland, ca-1970. Now, who the hell knows how similar this was to one of their 1970 ones? I certainly wouldn't pretend to know. But it was sooooo good!
And thanks to being in an original IHOP building, I could absolutely identify the booth (within a margin of error of one booth in either direction) that my friend and I sat in while having those first patty melts.
Disclaimer: I make no claim to greatness of food in an IHOP, but it's one of those places in which certain things resonate, just like certain Howard Johnson's foods did.
