We did fine.  The girls stayed right next to me, which I'm glad about. We didn't have to go to the basement but I want to be able to find them if we need to in the future

I'm watching Afghan Star.  Reading subtitles while I work on the computer. It's an interesting documentary.

One of the contestants got death threats because not only did she show her hair, she danced...well moved back and forth.

You can't find a block in town that doesn't have trees or limbs down.  There are piles of trees and limbs everywhere.  Of course you have to get rid of them yourself.  Luckily mine were small enough to break down and put out for regular pickup

TOD: I've been listening to IN THE HEIGHTS for 2 days. I want to see it again

Thats good news.

Page 5 - at least for the moment it's all about me!

Thanks George, and thanks for breaking up all the cilla posts with a george post!

A friend gave me a bunch of cherry tomato plants.  I now have 7 planted.  If they all grow and produce I will have cherry tomatoes out the wazoo

[Cillaliz]

I can't believe I'm just planting things.   Think I'll see if any of the stores still have any vegetable plants.  I did till up the rest of the garden space, so I have room to plant.  I'll have to see what's out there.  I could probably plant some beans, they grow pretty fast

[Cillaliz]

Time to get off the computer for awhile

[Ginny]

I am packing for my little trip to Illinois, watching the Big Ten Network news about Nebraska joining the conference, and waiting for Mary Linda to arrive.  She should be here in a couple of hours.

It's nice when they don't hide under the bed or someplace difficult to reach them.

DR Jane, 100 pages down, 450 pages to go!

  Read slowly

Is it common for people in Canada to take their shoes off before entering a home?  More & more people are asking for a preference, or taking their shoes off if they are dirty.

I can't read slowly. I have 3 other books here that I really want to read. And 2 more at the library waiting. Although for some i have 6 weeks. I've given myself till tuesday to finish.

Yes it is common for people to take off their shoes.  I would never go into someone else's house and track my dirty shoes all over their house.

GLEE SPOILER

Possible "Glee" Spoilage for anyone who hasn't seen the episode:




DR Cillaliz:  Regarding my comments yesterday about "Glee", I respectfully disagree with the notion that I revealed anything regarding plot. 

I reacted to the show and  the performance of "New Directions".  Nothing more.   

My comment was not at all black-and-white in context for anyone who hadn't watched the show.  As "New Directions" is the "star" of "Glee" in terms of subject matter, and as the season was pointing toward a regionals victory, and because so much was at stake, I said I didn't think they deserved to win...based on the performance they gave.  I didn't say they didn't win, and I didn't say anyone else won.  Only someone who had seen the show could have associated my comment with what actually happened.





End Possible Spoilage

Hmmm, I didn't see the show & from reading your post I figured they had won & didn't deserve to.  No need to say if my comment means you needed a spoiler or not, personally I felt it did.  In this case it didn't matter.  After reading your comments, and the fact Keith is beyond tired with the show, I'm taking it off of our DVR.

I think it needed the word spoiler. Although the word glee came way before the spoiler stuff. So it would have been easy to stop reading right away.  Since i saw the episode in question i thought it was a spoiler. But obviously in completely the opposite way of anyone who hadn't watched.

When I move to Canada, I guess I won't be doing any socializing; because there is no way I am taking off my shoes to enter someone's home.

Well you can enter the house.  You just have to take off your shoes once you get inside the door.

A propos the TOD, I'm going to finish watching Carol Reed's TRAPEZE (on the dvr) with Tony  Curtis and Burt Lancaster and a very homoerotic subtext.

Tuesday isn't too fast.

I'll try to remember that about shoes if I ever visit anyone in Canada

Thanks, JohnG.

Thanks, Ben.

DR FJL - Congratulations on your appearance in the NY Times!

[elmore3003]

I just finished watching THE PRIVATE LIFE OF HENRY VIII, which I'd never seen. Charles Laughton is really amazing and I loved Elsa Lanchester as Anne of Cleves. Binnie Barnes as Catherine Howard looked far too old for the teenage idiot, but merle Oberon was a beautifu Anne Boleyn.

Time for bed.

[Ginny]

Not sure I'm gonna be able to stay awake for Mary Linda's arrival...

'night!

[George]

I just read THIS article about this guy who's walking across the country for no other reason than just because.  There's a video clip of an interview with him.

Finished listening to the remix and will be talking to the engineer in a couple of hours to do some tiny little fixes.  Otherwise it sounds really good.  I did a little A/B with the original LP mix - the instrument placement is a bit different to ours, so that's fun to have switched it up a bit.  One thing they did that was a little weird was put the strings on the right - we have them on the left where strings usually are.

I got a little missive in the mail today that could cause Kritzerland a good deal of trouble - all thanks to that pathetic individual who lives to cause harm to other labels than his own.  I have to have a conversation with someone on Monday and that will tell me how it will play out - I'm sure it will be fine, but boy is it annoying, and boy could it cause harm depending on which way it all goes - harm being monetary harm.  We'll survive but this cretin needs to burn in hell for stirring up trouble - unnecessary trouble.

Tommy hasn't bounced back as quickly as the others. I am glad to see he is finally eating. I think he'll be ok by morning.

Exactly!  I give them treats to get them to stay with me.

[Cillaliz]

Congrats on the Times, FJL!

I thought it was Chow

i once listened to a book on CD in which the reader pronounced ciao as "kai-oo" throughout. I didn't know what he was saying for the first couple of CDs.
