Should you come to tea, your cup is on the right!

der Brucer

Well, at least it's the clean one.

[singdaw]

Should you come to tea

Why thank you, DR dB - I'd love to!    

[Ron Pulliam]

I got a boat-load of stuff from UPS yesterday.  A bonanza, really.  Having taken advantage of some sales/markdowns at Amazon, I got the first three seasons of "Silk Stalkings", the first two seasons of "The Dead Zone" and the first season of "The Invaders."

Also in the load were the new Broadway CDs for "A Catered Affair" and "South Pacific".

I got the movie "The Dead Zone", as well, and it was my evening's viewing PLEASURE.

Last night, for the first time, I discovered that I really like Christopher Walken when he's perfectly cast.  I'd been not-so-much a fan for many years, and I'd seen this movie before.  Last night, though, it "sang" to me.  It is a wonderful film, with a wonderful story and wonderfully human, beautifully portrayed characters, and it's wonderfully directed by David Cronenberg, and it was beautifully scored by the late Michael Kamen.

I further received some CDs of classical music.  I've been buying the RCA "Living Stereo" classical recordings, as well as the Mercury Living Presence classical recordings.  I'm going for the titles I've either loved or have long wanted to hear.  I buy "used" as often as I can because it could be quite costly to buy as many of these as I want at full price, even though full price is normally $11.99.

PAGE FOUR IN THE HEIGHTS DANCE!!!



*They were on "The View" too this morning.  

[singdaw]

Is watching hidden surveillance camera footage considered "peeking"?

Ooh, I love moral dilemmas!

[singdaw]

That's quite a haul, DR Ron Pulliam!  Did the package require a forklift to deliver and transport home?

[Ron Pulliam]

Ooh, I love moral dilemmas!

You love causing moral dilemmas!

[Ron Pulliam]

That's quite a haul, DR Ron Pulliam!  Did the package require a forklift to deliver and transport home?

I managed nicely using my muscles, singdaw!

[JoseSPiano]

It's only a moral dilemma if you have morals.

[Ron Pulliam]

Is watching hidden surveillance camera footage considered "peeking"?

Last I heard, as long as there is no audio, it's perfectly legal.

[Ron Pulliam]

Besides, it was singdaw who set up the computer camera and sent me the url so I could look in.

I helped the DH change some light bulbs at his workplace last evening.  [No light bulb jokes, please!   ]

In any case, the church owns one of those "Giant Ladder" systems - I forget the exact name, but the ones you see on those infomercials.  I was quite impressed - it worked very well.  And to reach the top of the sanctuary, we had it extended as far as it would go!

From the NOTES:

On the weekend, there’s a book fair in Pasadena – it’s usually not very interesting, but I have some dealer friends who’ll be there, so I’ll go down and be supportive.

I wonder if BK had a bumper sticker that reads:

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL DEALER!

der Brucer

Or maybe  "I <heart> MY DEALER"

[bk]

I'm up and must get over to Staples before they get too crowded.

Moonlighting?

[bk]

Much to do today, but I really may have to take a day-long break from proofing the book - I don't think my eyes are ready for it yet.

[singdaw]

Moonlighting?

No, I was wearing pants.

[bk]

Welcome fourteen GUESTS.

[singdaw]

I really may have to take a day-long break from proofing the book

That sounds like a good plan.  I'm sure your eyes will appreciate it!

[DERBRUCER]

Well, at least it's the clean one.

Well, it's currently in use - the tea stains set in quite fast - that cup was through the washer yesterday!

[JoseSPiano]

Hmm... From the fumes I'm smelling right now, I guess they must be doing some work down in the basement/boiler room...

And since I do have to run some errands, I guess there's no time like the present.

Laters...

[DERBRUCER]

I got a boat-load of stuff from UPS

I guess when Ron says "ship" - they ship!

I did something sort of stupid yesterday.  Although I didn't realize at the time that it was stupid.

Last year i had that really bad lower back problem. But it has been 100% for months. So i didn't even think anything of it when i was lifting back bags of earth yesterday.

It didn't hurt while i was doing it.

But then a few hours later when i was in the car, my back did not feel right (the car was always the worst).

I should have realized that the earth was too heavy. And today my back is still not right. It's not terrible (maybe a 4/10).  The worst part is that i need to finish planting my garden.

I still have a lot of the homeopathic pills i took last time. So i may try that again.

[Jennifer]

I am looking forward to seeing IN THE HEIGHTS when i watch my recording of THE VIEW.

Also, (not that anybody cares) but the JANICE DICKINSON MODELLING show was not on (i had a feeling when it was not in that day's newspaper listings). For some reason i really wanted to see it!

[DERBRUCER]

I tend to avoid religious art...

That must have been some job living in Italy!

der Brucer

It's not that they have so much religious art, it's that they have so much religious art that's just bad!

I always enjoyed the reliquaries in the local parishes with notes that said "Herein lies the bejeweled remains of Saint Neversleptaround's wrist - other bodily remnants may be found in the following churches:...."

My dad said something so funny yesterday re: the last few episodes of LOST

(don't read if you did not watch the last 4 episodes).

My dad had been away for a few weeks and had not caught up on the last 4 shows.

Anyhow yesterday he said the funniest thing to me re: the shows.
I guess he watches like a lot of viewers. He forgets a lot. And doesn't go to message boards or read about the show.

So he watched the last 4 shows and says to me, "you know we didn't really learn that much in the last few shows ( is he nuts), except that claire and jack are brother and sister".

I told my sister that last night and she was cracking up (since so much has happened during the past shows but that was one of the only things we did know before).

I wonder if the writers mostly write for very observant people. Because my did did not even realize that it was jack's father who had taken claire away.

Also, my dad is convinced that many others make it off the island too (like locke). I totally don't think so, but think they are still alive on the island). His proof is that ben got off (but the Others have always come and gone!).

So he says many make it off, "except jin cause he is dead!".

So then i had to explain that just because jin did not get off the island we don't know he's dead (because the date on the coffin is the date of the plane crash, not the day he really died).

[Jennifer]

Oh gosh i am so hungry!
