Haines His Way

Good morning S Woody.  Hello North America.
Goodnight.

Good night, Tomovoz.  Sleep well.

Good morning, all!  A morning at the office, and an email to the Library of Congress with the call numbers of the things I'll want to check on this week's trip.

Last night I watched the most god-awful children's film with the most appalling CGI scenery and fake music and the most frightening cast ever assembled, LITTLE RED RIDINGHOOD.  whenever I see Joey Fatone's name, all I see - and this film reinforces it - Joey Fat One. He plays the wolf, only he's a werewolf in this version.  Henry Cavill must be thrilled he's in THE TUDORS because this film, in which he plays the exciting dual role of Hunter and pizza delivery boy, would have killed his career.

I wached this turkey because I'm weeding out the pileup of unwatched DVDs.  This film is neither a keeper not a watchable entity.  The people who give it good reviews on Amazon.com must be friends of the director or cast.

Off to the mines.

Congrats to DR DAKOTA CELT on her 9000 posts!

Mercury remains in its second sign of rulership -- Virgo -- until September 5 and this placement can enrich your life on the nutrition, diet and exercise fronts. The solar rapport with distant Pluto suggests that you can finally get to the bottom of life-long quandaries that have proved baffling for decades.

Lifelong quandaries like: "How in the world have I accumulated so much crap"?

DR Jose, did you cry when you got rid of your car? I keep mine for years and spend so much time driving that I get irrationally attached to my cars and feel like I'm abandoning them!

Just like that!!  

I am surprised to find that moving out of this house is a very emotional thing for me. I have lived here all of my adult life, 27 years, and the unknown scares me, although I think I will like the new place. In my cleaning I occasionally run across things from my past life with my ex. Then there's the fear that the cats, who are all such creatures of habit, will not adapt, since this is the only home they've ever known. We have our routines...when I walk in the door, little Ociee goes to the spot were she does somersaults until we rub her tummy, etc. and the others have the spots they land to get petted, etc.

The thought that we won't be doing these things in these places EVER AGAIN makes me sad for some reason, although I know we will establish new rituals at the new house.

And then when I see friends here in Marietta and they seem so sad that we're moving, I feel like crying then, and usually do. BUT WE'RE ONLY MOVING 15 MILES AWAY!!!

Maybe this is bringing up stuff from my childhood and moving almost every year when my father was in the service, but boy, it's annoying. Maybe once I start getting furniture into the new house it will start feeling like ours.

I absolutely LOVED those pictures from the barn last night! Those people are so lucky!

I would be thrilled to drive even one of those cars!

I know Tom has been seen in NYC but the missing Dan is a concern (given his health issues of last year). Emails are being bounced back!

I was able to send a PM to DR DtM some days ago, but as of yet have not had a response.  Nor one from DR Julie, but I assume that DR FJL would let us know if anything was amiss.

I am taking inspiration from Music Guy to remain positive during the move.

Back to more packing and sneezing and dusting. The books are the worst---the next worst thing will be the LP's. I've filled up two dozen wine boxes already, even with the purging!

Fortunately, no cats have been purging!

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a Tucker car in there somewhere!

And probably an Edsel as well.

Stars and planets wise, DR EDISAURUS, this is a very good time to move, travel, and find new digs.  

Permanent or temporary.....

Just remember....don't take an old broom into a new house, and buy a new box of salt for your new kitchen.
