And the word of the day is: SANCTIMONIOUS!Saint Timon was one of the first deacons of the Church of Christ. He was a bishop in the city of Bastoria, in Arabia, and at one point was thrown into a furnace, but came out of it unharmed. Other than that, not much is known about him.

How very sad to hear that ABC news anchor Bob Woodruff has been seriously injured by a bomb explosion in Iraq.
Last night I dreamed I was in a play. It was a courtroom drama, directed by DR elmore and performed in the round. I had the role of a juror. In this morning's Cincinnati Enquirer, there's an item about a casting call that intriques me. Coincidence? Should I explore?
Yes!
FOR THE NW RAINY-SET CROWD
I'm going through football withdrawl this Sunday.
Morning all! I just wanted to report in, because I got to see Deceit again last night, and it was even better this time around. I sat in a different spot in the theater, and it was like watching a new show. Got to see a lot of the actor's expressions that I missed last time. It was fun to sit in the audience, knowing the play's outcome, and listen to everyone around me try and figure it out. But I was a good girl, I kept mum! My sister and my best friend went with me, and they loved it as well. So I know I wasn't just biased based on my appreciation for Matt Ashford, because my friend Jane is very hard to please. ;D
Bruce, it was a pleasure officially meeting you last night, although my sister accused me of being a brown-noser for chatting up the director. LOL. But that's okay, she's just jealous. ;)

Quote from der Brucer:I can definately tell when I am drinking Starbucks coffee. I shouldn't knock one of our biggest exports to the world, but Starbucks always tastes burnt.
Hmm, apparently the barn burned down!
Truly, I'm very sorry if I spoiled anything for you, but never in my wildest dreams did I think it would be possible not to have been aware of that turn of events with all the PR in the network ads for the show as well in media on-line and in print. Astonishing that you could miss all of it for WEEKS before the event.
Today we have been working on a delayed project. We had decided two years ago that in 2005 we would make a CD of our favorite love songs since 2005 was our 10 year anniversary. Well, it never came about. We did get disc one made but Anthony was in Virginia doing a show and then he had his foot problem and we were on vacation, etc. etc. etc. Today after breakfast we decided to push ahead and start on disc 2. We now have a temporary disc. Soon, we hope, both discs will be finalized and notes will be made and then in August, one year late, we will send out "Ben and Anthony's Love Songs"
DR Cillaliz - If you know anyone who works in a library or a bookstore, book boxes are great for moving, too.
From Matt H:As I mentioned yesterday it is possible to have missed it.
Might you please do what Jennifer does and leave a space between the name of the shows and your comments, unless they are completely generic?
I think so too! We have a bumber of coffee shops here that are really good, but everyone went nutso when Starbucks came to town and I just don't get it
DakotaCelt SMOKE SIGNALS is a good movie.
Is VOAGER on DVD? I think you would enjoy the series. I also liked the shows final episode very much.
Der Brucer, are they still going to call her Peggy?
Now you have room to take in that litter of Dalmation pups!
Just that he and his cameraman are in stable condition...There's a Mr. Ed or Creche joke hiding in there somewhere!
There just is not enough chocolate. Not nearly enough.
I have something to say:
There just is not enough chocolate. Not nearly enough.
Chocolate is my weakness... I love dark chocolate
- a nice-sized house of mostly elderly people
Now, might I just ask where in tarnation IS everyone? You'd think it was a Sunday or something, like THAT'S an excuse.
I'm now in for the evening to have a litte "me" time and to watch DVDs.
I'm doing my part to get to page five in record time.
Now, tote that barge, lift that bale!
The Godiva sugarless wasn't just "I didn't have another piece" bad, but "I had to spit it out and get the taste out of my mouth by gargling" bad.
Well, things are going well here in box land. The cats are totally freaked out, but that isn't stopping them from climbing in and on all the boxes, every once in awhile there is a crash, but it's usually just empty boxes. I've gotten so much done today. Now if I can make it through 3 days of work I will be working my patootie off. Wouldn't that be great...no patootie left!
Weather was gorgeous today, almost summery.
And what's best is that the walkout/walk-in/walkout was the same person. How often does THAT happen.
Scarlett O'Hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it when caught by her charm as the Tarleton twins were.

But since you don't watch SMALLVILLE, you really wouldn't be looking at any information for it, would you? I don't watch GILMORE GIRLS and thus I never read anything about the show though the newspaper has capsule comments about it every week just like it does for SMALLVILLE. That was the point I was making.
I have already apologized to Jennifer though it was an innocent and honest mistake.
I'm feeling like I'm in a Bizarro HHW world right now, and it's brought to me by AOL.
Posting is very refreshing, which is more than I can say for these complete and utter twits outside my house - the city, in all their brilliance, has sent out workers who are sawing trees across the street. On a Sunday NIGHT. Wonder what those workers are making? It's outrageous, and if it continues for more than fifteen minutes, I shall be going out there, getting the names of those involved and then filing a complaint with the city because guess what? It is ILLEGAL TO DO THIS ON A SUNDAY NIGHT.
A monologue by BRANCH DUBOIS, perhaps?My kind of humour! sorry I was so long in reading it. Now I feel refreshed.
Sawing trees - and I am currently listening The Best of "Savage Garden"(Truly Madly, Completely)
Priscilla, yes you will get a CD when they are ready. I think we will be sending out many copies.
I watched THE WATER IS WIDE tonight. It was good in that Hallmark sort of way
Congrats on 13000 posts Matt
Dakota - I'm getting used to using the internet through AOL since my Internet Explorer only works when it wants to. But AOL makes the screen on HHW look and act weird.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say my favorite coffee is a Cafe au lait from Cafe Dumond in New Orleans. i can buy it at the local grocery store. It's chicory coffee and you have to add about half milk, but it's great.
I read some reviews that said it was inferior to the movie version CONRACK (with Jon Voigt). Did you ever see CONRACK, and if so, how would you compare the two?
I loved the book, BTW, and was able to tell Pat Conroy when he was a guest speaker in one of the classes I took working on my master's degree.
DR MBARNUM I just bought a DVD of SCANDAL with Mr Mifune for only $11 including shpg.
Very good! You will love the movie! Just beware as there is one region 0 version out there that has sound that is totally out of sync with the picture.
LOL JRand55! MAMBO GIRL rules!
I Like Asparagus....how about you?
Me, too, DR DAKOTA CELT - I am more a fan of the GWTW movie than the book, although the book certainly has a LOT more story!
But what I drink more often is a mocha. Gotta have chocolate
I have one concern with high definition, actually a few
1. Will one be able to still view older vhs and dvds?
2. Will it allow for close captioning and related technologies? Will it be integrated with the HI-FI or will one have to have a separate reader?
3. Will have ot have new peripherals to view anything with it?
4. Since analog broadcasts are going to the wayside... 2008 (praying my telly lasts that long before I have to breakdown and buy a new one) The cable companies will now hold us hostage... GRRR!! I refuse to pay 60 a month for basic, yes 60.... and that does nto include HBO or any premium channels....
DR CILLA LIZ why are you going to the post office with ease? Don't you want to go by yourself?
Mr Pat Conroy wrote a couple of other novels that I like very much as well.
I could go by myself, but ease always makes it more fun
Matt, thanks for the info, I'm going to have to get a new TV and I don't want to spend a bagillion dollars on one, the info is helpful, still not sure what to do

That is a good album... too bad they are not recording anymore, I rather enjoyed themThere are two Darren Hayes Cds available. Still the same basic sound!

I am not sure if this was sabotage by the art director OR the costume designer - OR if it was just a happy accident!
But it is seared in my memory! :o
I liked the movie of "Lords Of Discipline" a lot too.
And now I see that I, too, have reached a milestone already reached by bk and DR JRand. Nice to be in such esteemed company.
I thought DakotaCelt's Page 5 dragon was pretty cool, but it needs to actually fly across the sky!

YIKES - a Goa'uld symbiant aiming for George's head!
Umm...I have no idea what that means. :-\
If you are not familiar with Stargate SG-1 you are forgiven.
(The symbiants are lizzard like alien critters that live inside host bodies and control their thoughts and actions.)
I've never watched it. But it sounds like the Trill from the Star Trek world.

Cool!! I did not know you could make it go across....
I am also a big fan of Anne McCaffrey!!
As a teaser of sorts...
DR Jason's apartment will soon be smelling like Froot Loops.
