Why DIDN'T we ever play Skee Ball? Did we go to the beach? I seem to remember we did, but then again, I'm senile.

Beach party at night-that is all I remember.

Good night. Have fun at the p.j. party.

ENjoyed my brief time at the PJ party. My white bathrobe didn't seem to clash with anyone else's attire.

Hope those who don't have to work tomorrow will enjoy their day off.

The pajama part was a hit! We giggled, and laughed, and told stories about boys, and stayed up late, and all that! LOL!

We must do this again sometime!

Big hit! Black boxer briefs and all! Even priavet conversations! There were definitely some major hotties in the room, too!

Thank you, Dear Readers TCB and Danise, for your good wishes.

Dear Reader Jane, I am thinking that you and DH Keith were Mr. and Miss Popularity in high school. Ya know, he the QB on the football team, you the head of the cheerleading squad, that sort of thing. In any event, it is a blessing that you two remain in love and together after all these years!

(I know this post will elicit some wiseacre comment or other from Dear Reader TCB and/or Dear Reader Tomovoz, but here goes anyway.)

I went to an organ recital this afternoon, Dear Readers, something I've never done before. The instrument was not just any organ, but the one at the First Congregational Church of Los Angeles, which is reputed to be the world's largest church pipe organ. The organist was Ken Cowan, a very young and very talented musician. The program consisted of pieces by Bach, Franck, Karg-Elert (whom I had never heard of before), von Weber and Liszt. As an encore, Mr. Cowan played Saint-Saens' Danse Macabre, and to hear it played (and quite well!) on an instrument with, according to the informational materials I picked up in the church lobby, 346 ranks, 265 stops, 233 voices, 18 divisions and more than 20,000 pipes is quite an experience, indeed.

Confidential to Dear Reader Music Guy (that is, if he ever returns to this site and reads this post): I picked up some brochures that contain technical information about the organ. If you would like to see them, just let me know, and I'd be happy to send them off to you.

I just left the chat (after 1 & 1/2 hours!) and it was its usual sparkling and lively chat. We made a new friend...hopefully she'll make her presence known on the board.

Sorry I missed the PJ party. I couldn't find the turban in my collection that matches the the chiffon and feathers babydoll I planned to wear this evening, and I certainly could not arrive at the soiree turbanless. Pity, as I even bought a new pair of the most darling high-heel mules especially for the occasion.

Welcome Tiff! Let the partay continue! The chat room is closed up, but we are going to party until the cows come home right on this board.

Jed · « **Reply #220 on:** January 18, 2004, 10:33:48 PM »

My goodness, the chat portion of the pajama party was fantabulous! Now, on to the posting portion!!!

Laura II · « **Reply #221 on:** January 18, 2004, 10:34:56 PM »

Chat was glorious! Tiff has joined us!! Yay for my bestest friend!

Please take it easy on her as she's not really a theatre gal, but she took a film studies course, so I bet she can add to discussions on films!

(She and I neeeeed to watch Casablanca, Uncle Woody!)

Jed · « **Reply #222 on:** January 18, 2004, 10:35:06 PM »

Oh yes, and welcome to our newest member, Tiff!

Welcome Tiff!

Tiff · « **Reply #224 on:** January 18, 2004, 10:53:23 PM »

Thanks for the welcomes! I'm indeed a friend of Laura (so if you ever need any dirt on her... I'm kidding Laura, or am I?

). I had fun talking to yall tonight, so I decided to register. So hi to everyone!

Jed · « **Reply #225 on:** January 18, 2004, 11:14:11 PM »

Just what kind of pajama party is this? C'mon, people! It's party time!!!

Laura II · « **Reply #226 on:** January 18, 2004, 11:15:33 PM »

Wooooo I'm not wearing pink, and I'm listening to John Mayer! Which one of those things is abnormal?

George · « **Reply #227 on:** January 18, 2004, 11:23:44 PM »

I'm watching my new favorite new show: "Mythbusters" on The Discovery Channel. It's a HOOT!! They take myth (tonight's has to do with frozen chickens versus thawed chickens being shot at an airplane windshield out of a cannon) and either prove or disprove the possibility of the myth...not whether it's true or not. I can't recommend this show highly enough!

bk · « **Reply #228 on:** January 18, 2004, 11:27:24 PM »

This is a party? I'm in my PJs for God's sake. I hope that LauraII and Jed are not off doing the... "other things" thing. I do hope that they are doing their other things thing right here where we can all keep an eye on them.

Jed · « **Reply #229 on:** January 18, 2004, 11:29:37 PM »

Ahh! Forgot about MythBusters tonight... darn! Would watch now, but "Light in the Piazza" is about to start on TCM, and I've not seen the movie before, so I want to catch it.

bk! I didn't know you were into that kind of thing

Laura II · « **Reply #231 on:** January 18, 2004, 11:39:44 PM »

Haha, Ann! I assure BK that everything is a-ok! Nothing's happening! We're not hiding anything!

Tiff · « **Reply #232 on:** January 18, 2004, 11:45:28 PM »

::shaking head:: Quite scandalous if you ask me.

Laura II · « **Reply #233 on:** January 18, 2004, 11:50:26 PM »

In response to Tiff: "For there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." Basically, draw your own conclusions based on how you feel. *I* don't think/feel anything is scandalous!

Precisely why you shall not be asked.

Hold tight, and then read the new notes and let's start the day off with a plethora of postings, shall we?
