Vibes to Matthew and the director and cast of Sunset!

[JMK]

Do I sense some Les Baxter in the offing?

[JMK]

I almost just fell down one of the many flights of steps in this house with a nearly full, open can o' paint.  That was too close for comfort.

[Laura]

JMK, this new house of yours seems to be full of ... uh,... exciting adventures?

[John G.]

Um, don't do that. It hurts and it's messy. M'kay?

[JMK]

JMK, this new house of yours seems to be full of ... uh,... exciting adventures?

Yeah, we'll go with that explanation.   

[JMK]

I did manage to "fill in" behind the new toilet tank so that wall looks faboo.  There had been a tiny scratch on one of the walls by the stairs leading up to the master, and I *think* I chose the right color from the paint left in the garage, but I won't know for certain until it dries.  This house has "twisty, windy" stairs, each flight with two landings, and I hadn't realized I was at the lip of one of the landings when I stepped back to review my paint job.  The assymetrical angles of this house were one of the first things that really attracted us to it--there aren't any "square" rooms.

[JMK]

I am a bit miffed at Bruce Hershenson.  He had a staffer email me a bunch o' pics that they needed IDs on, all of which I provided them.  I simply asked that they send the scans again with no watermarks on them for my time and trouble.  Needless to say, they didn't.  Bad way to treat a customer, especially one you're coming to for help.

[JMK]

In other news, against my wildest pre-conceptions, I highly recommend GET HIM TO THE GREEK.  It's lewd, crude and in extremely poor taste, but it's laugh out loud hilarious.

[Jane]

Thanks JohnG.  My physical therapist said I could not zip line, but that is because he has only seen the type where you hang from your arms.  He said I might be able to do it in a harness like you had.

Sending out some SUNSET vibes. . . .

[Cillaliz]

Tonight I watched The Girl Who Played With Fire.  It's one of the movies I bought on eBay.  I really enjoyed it.  I'm going to wait awhile before watching the last movie.  Just to delay the end of the series a little while

I'm glad you liked it.  I'm waiting until the third movie is released since Keith hasn't read the books.

I kept wondering what it would be like if I hadn't read the book.  I think it may have been better, much more suspenseful

JMK - my advice is don't carry a can of paint downstair without the lid on it

I agree with you. But I had read the book and enjoyed greatly noticing how they streamlined a massive book into such a taut movie.

[Cillaliz]

This afternoon we had a huge downpour with lots of wind.....right when I was taking the cats out of the house, into the car, to the vet, and back.   They were not the least bit amused.  They howled the entire way.  I was amazed at my patience. They now have their shots and the doctor said to quit giving Boo the brand of treats I'm using and she may quit throwing up.

Yes, I enjoyed that too.  Especially since they seemed to have cut out a lot of what I thought was superfluous

[Jennifer]

Gosh that zip lining looks like fun. I would love to do that!

[Jennifer]

DR Jane how strong is your shoulder now? I'm guessing that if it is still fairly weak that you would not be able to zip line.  Otherwise you could risk hurting it again. I would think you would have to have a fair amount of strength in your upper body and arms.  But I guess you should ask your doctor if you are seriously considering it.

[Jennifer]

I am also excited about the AMAZING RACE. It starts at 8:30pm this week!

[Jennifer]

Might be able to?  How exactly do you find out if you can do it since once you're on the thing I doubt they let you off!

I walked into the movie wondering how they were going to handle the police officer with the "lesbian Satanists" fixation and was surprised (and pleased) to see that he had been completely eliminated. I loved him in the book. I think he would have been too fatuous and comical on screen.

Quite true. And the platforms are so high that climbing down is really not a viable option.

It was great fun. My excess adrenaline has finally dissipated 4 and a half hours after doing it.

I'm sure.  It had been a long time between my reading the first book and watching the movie which really helped keep up the level of suspense.

Poor you and the babies.  OK, I had to laugh at the simple solution to the problem.  VIBES IT TRULY IS A SIMPLE SOLUTION!!

Strong‽‽  My entire upper body strength is pathetic.  The therapist said it has nothing to do with strength, that I can never ever hang on to anything with the arm above my head because the artificial ball in my shoulder can't do it.

[Jane]

LOL, that might be a problem.  I think I can discuss it first, if I ever get the chance to go.  Of course I wouldn't even attempt it if I didn't feel comfortable with the person giving the answers & assisting me.

I'm already forgetting stuff in the book.  I would not have missed this at all.

Quite true. And the platforms are so high that climbing down is really not a viable option.

And I don't want to get down the same way your friend did.

Not a good idea.
