DR Laura, just saw a story about someone letting loose live rattlesnakes in a theater in Phoenix showing Snakes in a Plane. So what did you do with that rattler you met this morning?

Yup...and follow that with a box of wine (red, of course) and you're set for life!

But I don't drink!

Yes, Ginny, we know. That is why the no contact order is still in effect!

LOL, DR TCB! I'd need a medium to make contact with Dawn Powell, since she died in 1965.

Compliments to DP Colin. Zac is wonderful.

Happy almost b-day to TCB.

No rattlesnakes met today (although there are quite a few in and around Hollywood).
Off to feed and walk Wonderdog (who had a birthday on August 14th. He turned 4.)

I don't drink, either.

I wonder if grape juice would work as well?

Almost thank you, Maria.

I tried to edit my earlier post to add a pic of the birthday hound, but it didn't work. So here's another attempt....

I ran away from it!

I have been out and haven't seen the news tonight. That would be a stupid thing to do.

A leetle announcement, and you read it here first on HHW:

Newest news from the rialto is that the newest addition to the cast of the LAST STARFIGHTER readings on Sept. 29-30 in NYC will be Valley Village's own.....

(spoiler warning)

(drum roll)

BK!

We're very happy!

TPunk · « **Reply #162 on:** August 22, 2006, 06:26:14 PM »

I love today's TOD as I have been a huge mystery fan since I began reading. Here are some of my favorites:

Johnny Dixon and Professor Childermass from John Bellairs's mystery novels (my first mystery series as a youngster and also got me hooked on the artwork of Edward Gorey)
Detective Mallory from the Carol O'Connor's series
Richard Jury from the Martha Grimes series
Miss Marple
Peter Decker from the Faye Kellerman series

I'm sure that I'll keep thinking of more but now I must catch up on today's posts.

Ginny · « **Reply #163 on:** August 22, 2006, 06:30:56 PM »

So, does DR FJL's exciting announcement mean that BK will still be in NYC into the first week of October when many Hainsies and Kimlets will be there?

Other fictional favorites:

Sherlock Holmes

Miss Marple

Hercule Poirot

Kinsey Milhone

Kay Scarpetta (but not lately)

I totally agree with you there. I used to really enjoy that series, but enough already with her conflict and strife. I feel like it's totally unrealistic... even from a fictional perspective.

When all the other girls my age were reading Nancy Drew, I read a mystery series featuring Trixie Belden. Wonder if there's a connection.

I loved Trixie Belden!! She's on my second list of favorites along with Charlotte and Thomas Pitt.

Take lots of pictures. I will be I think in Berlin at that time. So I want to know how it went.

I've not even attempted to catch up or read the days notes yet.

For the attention of DRs George, MBarnum and TPunk:

We watched the Spanish Movie "bear cub" last night.
Highly recommended.

What's it about?

What's it about?

According to the Netflix synopsis:

An unconventional uncle becomes guardian to his young nephew in this sensitive tale. When he agrees to care for his sister's 9-year-old son Bernardo (David Castillo) for just a couple of weeks, Pedro (José Luis García-Pérez) decides it's best to curtail his active homosexual lifestyle. But the concerned uncle discovers that young Bernardo is wise beyond his years. When the boy's mother fails to return, Pedro must assume the role of parent.

I'm going to purchase a cellphone on ebay. My own phone has crapped out, and I'm not really in the mood to renew my service plan for 2 more years, plus it will be another few months before I'm eligible for any great rebates. And then I found out that I can buy an unlocked phone and just put my SIM card in it. Super! Plus, ebay has a fabulous selection of pink phones.

I believe I'm doing the role(s) played by William Parry. How could I say no to FJL and Skip? I leave on October 1st, so won't be there for the gathering, but I'm quite certain we'll have a few whilst I'm there. And, there's a good chance I'll be back on the 19th of October for three days.
