Good morning, all! I have to be out here shortly to await a Fed Ex package at Toyland.  As a rsult, I cannot be here today when the fire dept stops by to verify that I've removed the cartons from the hallway.  I'm sure Miss Jaymie in 3E will be the perfect Welcome Wagon for them.

I will work on the Babes In Toyland libretto today while awaiting the delivery. It should be a pleasant time.

TOD:
  The Streetcar Named Desire episode
  The now-deleted World Trade Center episode in which the Broadway musical the Simpsons attend is about the Betty Ford Clinic

TOD:

I haven't seen the movie, and I've only seen one episode, the one where Sondheim appears as a character.

Conventional Wisdom on the Internet seems to be that the writing now is not as good as in the first few seasons, but perhaps some DR who is more familiar with the show can render their opinion.

I hope DC Josie settles in nicely and stays for good!   :)
I checked on her before coming on-line.  Her purr-motor is running smoothly.

What some of the DRs may have forgotten is how der Brucer and I have worked with animal rescue groups in the past, fostering and finding homes for several dogs.  OK, Josie is by no means a dog.  But my point is that neither of us has a problem with giving up a dog or cat to a good home.  I understand that a lot of people can't do this, but we both have the ability to love an animal unconditionally for the short term.  I still think of Peggy and Angie, and of Zeus and Baxter and Benedick, and am glad we were able to be part of their lives.  So Josie may not be with us long-term.  A lot will have to do with how Buster, Bonnie, Mikey and Fletcher relate to her.

And I can now honestly say that, after being on this planet for fifty-four point five years, I've finally got me a little pussy!

When my Nancy LaMott CD set arrived from Amazon last evening, also enclosed was a little bonus:  a sample box of Kellogg's Smart Start Cinnamon Raisin breakfast cereal.

I wonder what they think the connection is?   ???

Do you mean deleted from the broadcast rotation?  It is my impression that the episode was included in the Season 9 box set.

Thank you, NOT!

I checked on her this morning, and she had finished the can of food, drunk the whole bowl of milk, and peeded on the newspaper that was down on the foor.

I took Woody to work and and bought one of those ready made litter boxes (DR Jane is such a nag!!!!)

I put the litter box on the floor, went upstairs to get her another bowl of milk, and when I returned she had already pooped in the litter box! So, I guess she's already house-trained. Last night Woody went downstairs to check on her, and when he returned he found that one of the dogs had peed on his bed!

If the dogs would settle down, clearly she would make friends. She is definitely a people-cat! When either one of us comes into the basement she's right there rubbing and purring. I had her on my lap where she was running her motor and she heard Woody on the stairs - she jumped out of the chair and ran to the door to greet him.

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And having some green tea with honey... Hoping it soothes my sort of sore throat.  I checked it in the mirror, and it does seem a little irritated, but I think any irritation is just due to very dry radiator heat here in the apartment coupled with my very erratic sleep schedule over the past few days.  We shall see...

Good morning!

Looks like another beautiful day here. Not as warm as yesterday, but still quite beautiful. It's colder because my heat has popped on a couple of times this morning.

Um... No.

First of all, I have a slight allergy to cats.

Secondly, there are some mean(!!!!) strays that come into our backyard from time to time, and they are very(!!!!) territorial.

Thirdly, having another carton of milk in the fridge would just confuse everyone here, especially with the close spellings: Jose, Josie.  ;)

I have not seen THE SIMPSONS MOVIE either. It got rave reviews and did great box-office, so I was surprised when it didn't get nominated for the animated feature Oscar. I think a lot of people were shocked by that.

I'll wait to see THE SIMPSONS MOVIE on HBO-HD before thinking about buying the Blu-ray disc. Fox's Blu-rays are the most expensive of all the major studios (just like their laserdiscs were), so I'll wait for a sale on their stuff before I buy it. I didn't buy THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA on Blu-ray until I could get it for half price.

We are bigtime Simpsons fans.  The kids can quote whole episodes verbatim, which is probably a little scary.  Betsy loves to do the part of the episode where Bart has to help Mrs. Skinner with her chores and she's showing him pictures of cakes and tells him he can have any picture he wants.  He starts to take one and she slaps his hand and admonishes, "Not THAT one, that's a coconut cake!"  Betsy does all the voices extremely well.  :)

I watched THE SIMPSONS early in its life - probably the first three seasons, but I didn't keep up with it after that. I'm sure it's still funny, but endless variations on the same family dynamics just doesn't seem appealing.
