It seems that all I really want to do today is nap. And nap. And nap some more. Strangely enough, I haven't taken a nap today. And I guess I probably should have. However, I'm meeting some friends in a bit for dinner, so...

In the meantime, I did give my niece, Emily, a bath. I think most of the water managed to stay in the tub.

Good Afternoon!

I just spoke with DR Jason... He'll be seeing Patti in Gypsy again in about five to ten minutes.

Sounds like a good way to start a vacation.

I thought Patti didn't do matinees. At least, she didn't when she was in VELVEETA.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #212 on:** July 18, 2007, 01:56:10 PM »

So...

Has anyone tried those Harry Potter Bertie Bott's Beans? The "Every Flavor" assortment includes: Black Pepper, Booger, Dirt, Earthworn, Earwax, Grass, Pickle, Rotten Egg, Sardine, Sausage, Soap and Vomit. -Along with Blueberry, Cherry, Tutti-Frutti, etc.

I bought two boxes yesterday at For the Love of Chocolate for my roomies. And although I do consider myself to have an adventurous appetite, I am a bit hesitant about trying them myself.

Anyone?

*Although, it appears the Spinach flavor from the original assortment has been discontinued. $:-\$

If I recall correctly, the "matinee Evita" was a holdover from the London production. I think.

My friend Afton used to buy Bott's beans all the time, although I can't say I ever SAW her eat them.

Well, since you bought them for your roomies, trying them yourself isn't really an option, is it?

Just a thought!

Yes, and DRs get to determine whom is matched with whom as roomies by popular vote here at HHW!

Adriana Patti · « **Reply #217 on:** July 18, 2007, 02:08:05 PM »

from some reviews I read just now, it seems like the abnormal flavors are tolerable, but realistic- Just don't mix them together!

Hmm... Maybe we could place cameras all around the hotel suite, and then broadcast it all over the web. Then make a deal with CBS, MTV, VH-1 or TBS, and this way, the whole weekend will get paid for!

Just spoke on the phone with Shelli from Abode, "The Smart Alternative" for NYC furnished apartments for short term stays. She didn't laugh or hang up on me when I gave her our dates, preferred location, and price range. She's supposed to call me back tomorrow.

Could this be the kind of agency that your friend used, DR Jose?

She produced Grey Gardens, and, from what I've heard, is just what Mr. Reidl says she and her husband are - dilettantes, dabblers with money, and basically people who have no clew as to what they're dabbling in.

Uck. I cut a movie for a woman one time. She didn'thave a rich husband but she did have a rich daddy. She wrote a movie based on an event in her life...it was awful, but she was able to hire a good crew. She did not enjoy the shooting process...the crew would drink beer after the shoot (how disgusting!) and she didn't get to know any of them---they were beneath her.

Then she found sitting in the edit "torturous". I told her that hsould be the most exciting part---it's like watching your child being born, etc.

My DH summed it up perfectly: "This film is just another charm on her charm bracelet". "Surprisingly", she never made another film.

I've just been reading some reviews too.

Two of my roomies are going to the All Hallows Ball (?) that Border's is hosting Friday night/Saturday morning. I thought I would just give them something to snack on while they wait.

Wow! HHW is only one degree away from the producers of GREY GARDENS...I feel almost famous and very In The Know!!!

Pardon me, JRAND, but I would think you could feel "almost famous and In The Know" here at HHW quite without those producers!

Resuming our session after a nice lunch from Bird's. Five songs left - it should go pretty quickly.

Hmm... So far today I've heard my nephew, John Michael, humming bits of Henry Mancini, Mozart, Offenbach, and "mystery" - well, that's what he said it was, I thought it sounded like "jazz", very cool jazz.

... the humidity during the summer. It doesn't bother me at all.
I feel it, sure, but it doesn't drag me down or make me feel terribly uncomfortable.

Consider yourself very lucky, my friend. You are one of the exceptions.

Tomorrow the Emmy nominations are announced. I'm very eager to see which shows that I watch regularly get included in the various categories.

Keeping my fingers crossed for Kyra in THE CLOSER, DR Edi. (Would love to see some of the other actors get nominated, but the drama categories are SO overcrowded with potential nominees.)

Jeanne · « **Reply #232 on:** July 18, 2007, 02:31:59 PM »

Thanks to SINGDAW and new JR MEMBER JULIE for their good wishes today. It was lovely to start the day without a to-do list.

As for the clutter, SINGDAW, the culling is enough to turn a commited pack rat into a minimalist!

Matt H. · « **Reply #233 on:** July 18, 2007, 02:33:16 PM »

Well, I'm going to head downstairs now to read a bit before getting back to some more viewing.

I cleaned the den this morning, so that little chore doesn't have to be dealt with.

WBBL.

Has anyone seen MANCHILD, the British TV series from a few years ago? It's been out several years--don't know how I missed it. I'd be interested in what other H/Ks thought of it.

My guess is that as Jupiter winds its way toward the end of its retrograde...all sleep and dreams will be disruptive and difficult to explain.

Looking backwards in the subconscious is always disconcerting....kind of like HOT RODS TO HELL.

Thank you, JRAND.

Anyway, I went to (and actually graduated from) Western Washington University in Bellingham.
