One of my favorite metaphors:

Dry as a bone.

As I would have taught my classes years ago, that's a simile, not a metaphor.

This is the first Saturday I have been off work for several months!  

I have some banking and other errands to do.

I shall return....just like MacArthur.

Speaking of bone, I'll be watching THE BONE COLLECTOR at some point this weekend. This movie has some age on it now (1999 release), but I somehow missed it when it came out and in all subsequent video releases, so this will be my first experience with it.

I have DAYS OF GLORY (2006 Oscar nominee for Best Foreign Language Film) to watch, too, possibly tonight.

I have Hepburn's DRAGON SEED (with an all-star cast) to watch, and I'd love to finish up the fourth season of ANGEL, too.

He likes to watch.

I have to go get to some paperwork, and then I have a rather important appointment this morning.

I invite and welcome and request the very most, the very best, and the very strongest and positive VIBES from all of the lovely DRs and H/Ks, for some pending business stuff that is going on for me.  A good, affirmative, and successful outcome would be MOST WONDERFUL at this time.  

And I could use that mental support for the next 9 days...... I know that that is a selfish request of the collective "vibe energy" here, but it is really needed and requested.

And that's not a metaphor,.... that's a direct request.  :)

Good morning!

Overcast again and another cool morning, but it's supposed to heat up today once the clouds move out. Still, cool mornings seem to be in the forecast for the next several days.

Hmmmmmm....Standards, dear Naomi......

Kind of sounds like when my concert manager was talking to me years ago.  I had played at a very tacky venue on a pretty crappy instrument, but for a very nice "larger-than-usual" fee.  Some time later, after I puffed up to my manager about being an "artiste" and having standards, he said to me.... "we already know what you are -- I'm now just haggling about price!"

And the word of the day is: DISEMBOGUE!
When a party involves plenty of spirits that DISEMBOGUE from bottle to glass and and from glass to the partiers, one can expect some IMBUED EGOS as a result.

Hope you have/had a wonderful time up at the WTF.  *And I also hope you have/had some of the Twinkie's Ice Cream(!) from the little shop down on the main drag. :)  -Although, the Burnt Sugar ain't bad either.

"Vampire Lesbians of Sodom" as presented by TAO was very, very, very (that's three verys) funny!  Because this weekend is Olympia's Capital Pride weekend, they had an opening act of these two guys (they're boyfriends), one plays keyboards and sings, the other plays the drums and they sang their own original music.  I wish I could remember their name, but they were funny and loud...very loud...much too loud for the size room. ::) But they were good.  They did about a half hour of music.  


Sounds like the Carpenters.

The Woman Driver of the Year Award was recently given to this lady:

I must be away to work shortly.

It certaily is summer.  The weather isn't blazingly hot yet, but business is way up.  Yesterday I spent my entire shift working the self-serve lanes, and was kept busy the entire time, bouncing from register to register.  I was even asked to stay an extra hour (bringing my total - including today's shift - to forty-five hours this week).

I've cheated, and read the first two chapters of MTL last night, but I'd better finish the bio of Lady in the Dark before I get carried away.

Well, I'd be using my eyes to do SOMETHING if I'm awake: either reading, cleaning, driving in the car, etc.

I've said all along that I'm in a very unique position of being retired at a (relatively) young age, and having nothing but time on my hands to do ALL the things in the world I wanted to do when I was working (sometimes three jobs) but never had the time to do.

Believe me, I KNOW how lucky I am. And being a homebody as I am, I am perfectly content reading, watching films and TV programs, taking care of the house, cooking, etc. In fact, not just content - in hog heaven!
