Good morning, all! I finally had a good night of sleep
And the word of the day is: PICARO!
Yes DR MBARNUM we need photographs of said breakfast.
Some days, all one wants to do is to make a cup of cocoa, put on one's fuzzy bunny slippers, and curl up with The First Nudie Musical.
It will be time soon to bring out TCB as "Scrooge" to enjoy once again.
Back after a few days away. Been quite ill trying not ending up in the hospital. Been battling 101 degree fever that finally went down last night with a respiratory infection and flu that is classified as contagious. I have not been to work for the past three days (which is rare for me to take sick days) I've not been able to sleep at nights and peeing way too many times a day. As of this morning i'm better but far from 100%.
Good morning, all.
And good lord, get well soon, DR Mike.
Yes, Congrats to BK on the show!
Good morning. Congrats to bk and the rest for a great show last night. I've ordered Dearest Enemy from Amazon as opposed to downloading it from iTunes because from what I can see, iTunes isn't offering a digital booklet.

Good morning, all! I finally had a good night of sleep and I really needed it. Today, I will have my super and a plumber running in and out of the apartment. There's a leak coming from one of the five C apartments in the building and, once again, they're trying to find it. This occurred last year as well, and I believe it will be futile since the neighbor below me, after a week's advance notice, doesn't seem to be around.

DR Matthew, you could have downloaded the booklet from the New World records site as well as the recording.
My breakfast visit with Bollywood and Punjabi (Pollywood) film actor, Aman Dhaliwal, on Saturday was wonderful. Such a nice guy and it was great to meet him in person. His cousin Davinder is also a great guy.
Aman brought me some nice gifts including the soundtrack CD to his latest movie and a book on Sikh history, which is a subject he knows I am quite interested in. And he autographed a photo for me.
They are both in Sacramento now, and will be heading to Los Angeles soon. I am so very glad that they were able to stop and visit with me during their motor trip!
I took my camera, but unfortunately forgot to make sure the SD card was in it :P
...but, Davinder took several photos and he has promised to forward them to me. If and when he does, I will post them.
In my old camera if you didn't have the SD card in it, the picture went to the camera's hard drive (of whatever it is called in a camera).
I don't know if it does that with my current camera or not. I could find no choice of selection between SD card and hard drive (or whatever it is called in a camera). It is odd that the camera seemed to snap the photos with no warning about the card not being there. It was when we went to look at the photos on the little screen that it kept flashing "no sd card"

Ahhh, I don't think you are part of this Sankey family.
And congrats as always to BK for .... a top five Kritzerland!? Sounds like one not to miss. Right? And yet, we all missed it!!! :(
Good morning, all! I finally had a good night of sleep
Yaaaay!!! :)
About damn time those frickin vibes worked.
I enjoyed my visit with our own DR elmore and he graciously lent me his umbrella, gave me some chocolates and..... and the "Dearest Enemy" CD, which was so nice of him. I'm really looking forward to listening, Larry!
Hope you'll be able to go for a meal next time!
Good Morning ALL;

Even though I read a lot I'm not usually a big book recommender. Unless I know a person loves a certain genre.
Here is a genre that I am sure most people on HHW will not have read before (and maybe not even heard of). It's called NA (New Adult). It has gotten really popular in the last year or two. It has characters that are 18-25. And has more mature subjects than YA.
There is one author in this genre who has blown me away. Her name is Colleen Hoover.

BK, your story of the evil customer reminds me of why I am so glad to be out of the retail business!

My eBook library doesn't have any of Hoover's books.
Doesn't YA also cover those ages? Is NA a different style or considered more mature? THE BOOK THIEF which is one of the rare books I've give 5 stars to was published in the States as YA and as a regular adult book in Australia where it was originally published. I'm curious if it would be called NA today.

Working in a library, I've never heard of "NA (New Adult)" as a new designation. Cynical me thinks that it's only a new marketing ploy...not that there's anything wrong with that. :)

His interview was posted on www.pedrotheapebomb.wordpress.com. As he has more films released (he has signed for to that film in January and April, respectively) I told him I'd be more than happy to do another interview or something to promote this films.
DR Jane, you will be pleased to know that when niece Taylor and I went to see ANYTHING GOES on Sunday, we only got lost once.
It seems we got onto the Sunset Hwy alright, but headed west instead of east, towards downtown Portland. Heck, we were half way to the coast before Taylor suggested that maybe I was going the wrong way. ...she then whipped out her cell phone, hit the GPS button and directed me the rest of the way till we got to the theatre. 10 year olds are very smart.
As I have lived and driven in this area for 30 years, one would think I would be able to find my way around by now.

In Young Adult (YA) the narrator is usually 16-18. There would not be graphic sexual content.
In New Adult the narrator is 18-25. Sometimes the person could be in college. A lot of NA seems to be contemporary romance. And there can be more graphic sexual content than you would see in YA. Also in NA there can be more mature subjects.
I haven't read The Book Thief, but I'm guessing that it has very mature subjects. But that the girl is very young and that is why some are rating it as a YA. I don't think this book would really fit into typical YA or NA.

Just curious, does it matter that it's part of the curricula in ninth and tenth grades across the country? I mean I would never consider To Kill a Mockingbird YA but I read it in ninth grade.
We also read both Romeo and Juliet and West Side Story, but neither is YA though the characters are the right age.

TCB: Congratulations on your casting as Mr. Potter.
That set me to wondering, however. Would you ever be averse to auditioning for Madame Armfeldt in "A Little Night Music"?
And, if cast, would you shave?
