You and Abie are positively adorable!

I thank you and Abie thanks you.

Funny Abie story. I took him to the park early this morning. There was only one other person there - a man who usually shows up in pj bottoms with his dog Rooster. (The man wears the pj's, not the dog.) We've never really talked - so while the dogs romped we chatted. Turns out he's a well-known blues guitarist (played with Bonnie Raitt, TajMahal - won a Grammy with him). Anyway, while we talked Abie suddenly began humping Rooster (also a male). He's never done that before! The musician dude looked at them and grunted, "Ah yes, Hollywood love."

I am so busy partaying that I don't even want to work!

I just ate a banana in celebration!

Just "tuned in" and assume I should be celebrating something. No power here for a few hours at least so I am late. Now to check back and see what I am missing - I shall be having some vegemite soon so I guess it will be an OJ and Vegemite celebration here at Breakfast time.

50,000 posts... yowza!

Didn't think it would happen so early in the day! Dang it, I should have checked in earlier. Oh well, I'm here now, and ready to PARTAY!!!

Congrats to one and all, all and one, and special thanks to BK for hosting this merry troupe!

You have invited Mr. Simpson to your home for breakfast?

The threat of Vegemite should allow me to really get the true story. I was going to try it with Mr Bush but there is not Truth to be had there at all!

What a partay. I, of course, am out of ham chunks AND cheese slices, so I must to market shortly because I do not wish to be out of the loop, ham chunks and cheese slices-wise.

I think we should all wear pajama bottoms and tank tops.

What a boring day at MTI! My God, I'm so glad to be home--and sitting in front of the air conditioner. And what a downpour we just had in the City that never sleeps. Yowzah!

Congrats on 50,000 posts. How exciting. How too too. I'm having a Sunkist orange soda in celebration.

In an earlier post, Jenny wrote: "I also wrote the lyrics to "La Vie Boheme" of all songs on my arm during fourth grade gym class..."

To that I say, FOURTH GRADE!?!?! Oh, sweet grandma Moses! I was in my third year of college when the RENT-olution occurred. Geez-o-man, I feel old! Of course, I don't LOOK old...I just feel it. :-D

Have I mentioned it's humid in NYC? Well, it is.

Good Afternoon!

PARTY! PARTEE! PAR-TAY!!

No matter how you say it - No matter how you spell it - We are having a good ole time!!!

-Aren't we?!?!?!

Of course, I was napping during the big occurence, but I'm here now, and that's what counts!

-Doesn't it?

As for my party attire: an Old Navy tank top (and I hardly ever wear tank tops - I need to work on my arms), drawstring shorts, and flip-flops. Oh, and they're all blue - although the shorts are a blue plaid, but still blue nonetheless. Not exactly pjs, but.. wait, they are - minus the flip-flops, of course.

For my party food, I just had a bowl of Lucky Charms, well, my grocery store's generic equivalent, with some vanilla soy milk. Very good. And the marshmallow bits to oat cereal quotient seems to be very much in favor of the marshmallows! Perfect! Yummy!

I shall head out later for something a little more substantial.

In the meantime... I haven't left my apartment today. I was supposed to leave my apartment today, but my plans got changed. Well, my friend's plans changed. He was supposed to come down from DC for a meeting this morning, and then we were going to spend the rest of the day together. He's a friend from college, and we haven't seen each other in years - probably since college. I did play an audition for him a few years ago, but that was only about a 90-second reunion so that doesn't really count. We tried to get together in DC while I was up playing Children of Eden, but our schedules never coincided. However, he will be coming in on Monday now, so that's good. But since I was geared to heading out and about today, I was not geared up for more cleaning and sorting. So... It's been a nice relaxing day - again.

But if he was here today, I'm sure he'd be par-tay-ing too along with the rest of us here on HHW!!!

DR Jason et al et brad et henry - It's apparently very hot and humid here in Richmond too today, but since I have yet to leave my apartment today... We had a heat index very close to 100 apparently. And, apparently, according to my roommate who did step outside for a while, it is definitely very hot and humid and muggy outside. I do plan to take my constitutional (I've always loved that word - first heard it on "The Jeffersons" of all places) later, and, hopefully, things will have cooled off a bit by then. As of the 6:00 news, it was still in the upper 80s outside. We shall see...

*Oh, but it is actually - as opposed to apparently - very cool in the apartment right now. I'm in the ground floor of a duplex, and we're between two other buidings so that helps a bit. However, the young woman who lives upstairs keeps her A/C running pretty much all the time, so we get a lot of her "residual coolness". Of course, the one drawback to this - well, for her - is that her summer electric bills run about $300/month, while ours only runs about $50-60/month. However, it was the dripping from the condensation coil in her A/C unit that caused the leak in our kitchen ceiling - which has yet to be repaired, so... In any case...

PARTY! PARTEE!! PAR-TAY!!!

Panni · « **Reply #227 on:** June 17, 2004, 04:22:07 PM »

I need to do some errands soon - but it seems to me that the party frenzy has died down. And that's most unseemly. Most unseemly. That's two unseemly-s. And one for Mahler. Which makes three.

Well, I missed the actual moments (50,000 for HHW and 5,000 for BK), but I was logged in...that's gotta count for something!

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF US FOR MAKING HHW THE MOST EXCITING SITE IN ALL OF THE WORLD WIDE WEB!!

I had to go to a staff meeting and one of the things that we talked about is if we want to have a summer pot-luck.

We all, of course, said yes! So, it was decided that in the middle of August we'll be partying and bar-b-queing here at work!

I'm adding my own post in the quest to reach the goal. For the question of the day: When I was little I used to love to make tents with sheets. But these aren't the typical little kid tents. My tents would take up entire rooms and often spilled out into others. My parents thought I was nuts and I usually didn't stop until I ran out of sheets. I would leave them up for at least a week. Even my top bunk of my bunk beds was contained in the tent. I didn't have people come over much when I was younger so no one besides my family really saw them, but I was really creative. I always wonder with how small I was at the time, how I got all the sheets hung up as high as I did.

Joel, have you ever watched "Trading Spaces?" I don't remember who did it, but one of the designers remade a room into a circus theme, complete with a tent for wall coverings. It was quite interesting (a School House Rock! reference) and I think the people who got the room really liked it!

Danise · « **Reply #232 on:** June 17, 2004, 04:26:01 PM »

Just wanted to drop by to say "Congrats" on the milestone in postings.

Sorry to be E & T. I fear I might be E & T quite often for awhile. Please bear with me.

Jane, I finely answered your e-mail. Sorry to have been so late. I wsa typing a reply when I received your message. I hope you and Keith have a WOMDERFUL time and make many, many memories. I'll look forward to reading all about.

I've been out of the loop so I hope everyone is doing fine. Good vibes to those who need them.

Hate to post and run but it's been a very, very long day.

Party ON!

George · « **Reply #233 on:** June 17, 2004, 04:33:29 PM »

For the first Topic of the Day: I don't pay any attention to "the numbers" or how well a movie or show did at the box office...I only pay attention to the movie itself if it's something that I might find interesting (whether it's good or not).

For the second Topic of the Day, "What was the one thing you liked to do as a kid that everyone looked at you like you were nuts for doing?" Even though I’m 38 now, my lawyers still advise me not to discuss it.

Yes, that is a joke! Anyway, what I used to do as a kid, and I WAS nuts for doing it, was to "sew" my room. I would get a spool of thread and tie the end to something in my bedroom. Then I would go around and hook it over things, string it through things and basically make a big giant spider web out of my room...with the goal of NOT breaking anything or knocking anything over and still being able to get in and out of the room. I'd only done it a couple of times and my parents didn't just look at me like I was nuts, they were convinced that I was nuts. But, they didn't get angry at me and I always undid it carefully so that most of the thread was re-usable.

I just realized that I haven't thought about that in...well, a very long time!

The partay is hardly over, you dear, dear people out there in the dark. We haven't even started shaking our collective booties yet. Until there has been the shaking of booty the party goes on and on and on and on, just like the story.

bk · « **Reply #235 on:** June 17, 2004, 04:54:05 PM »

HEY! We're havin' a partay not a siesta.

Just read a review of the Charlie Chan DVDs by one of the twenty-year olds who review discs elsewhere. It is apparent from the first sentence that just about every word in the "review" is cadged from somewhere else (a lot from the imdb), without credit, thereby giving the impression that he's an expert on Chan. He talks as if he's seen the Fox films - I would bet any amount of money he's never seen one of them. He keeps saying things like, "It's immediately apparent that the budget of the Monograms was nowhere near the Fox films" or some such, when, as I said, it's fairly obvious he has no idea of what he's going on about other than what he's read at the imdb. Then everyone comes on and says, "Great review." The usual malarky about "there's a layer of film grain throughout". Note to "reviewer": Film has grain. You do understand this simple construct, yes?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #236 on:** June 17, 2004, 04:56:56 PM »

A busy household here in OZ. Magnus & Fosca have a house guest for the next few days whilst his person is on a short holiday. Maxwell is a delightful dog but is so full of energy.

He is a Parson Jack Russell. (A Jack Russell how they looked before they were shortened!)

Unfortunately, I do no think that this concept of film and grain ever enters their heads. They don't write about film grain over at the imdb!

Maxwell has soulful eyes!

Tomovoz · « **Reply #239 on:** June 17, 2004, 05:12:17 PM »

That explain why Maxwell and I are very close friends. The eyes have it. He loves visiting here because he gets to chase rabbits - not that he would know what to do if he caught one! Magnus and Fosca just ignore the rabbits. Fosca and Maxwell swapped bowls this morning during their morning snack - sign of Friendship I guess.
