For those of you who think we have a tidy garage, here's the other photo I took of my cousin's truck.  You can see the messy workbench and the top shelf of several that are all cluttered:

Maybe I missed it, but how long will your cousin's truck be living in your garage?

Is that a double negative?
No. It would have been had you written "never not".

And that is today's notes from the copy editor.

DR Cillaliz, my cousin left in this truck at 9am and should be home in GA by now.  He backed in because he was afraid all the stuff would slide out the back if he came up our steep driveway front-first!

It was in the low 50s this morning, but it got into the 80s this afternoon.

DR TCB - The only way to send and receive a fax is via a phone line.* So, as long as you still have a land-line and a standard modular phone cord, you're all set.


*Some companies I deal with now email me PDFs of forms and contracts. I then scan them, print out a copy for myself, fill out the form, then scan the filled-out form, then email them back the file (PDF). It's a bit "greener" that way, I guess.

As for tonight's "Grey's Anatomy"...

I really liked it.

I also really like what DR Diva Robbie called it on Twitter: GleesAnatomy ;)

My ears were burning, and now I have charred ears.  Went back to Glendale, got the motor car and am home.  I swear to you, I was not five minutes out of the dealership when some stupid, sickening idiot just starts mildly swerving into my lane.  Now, the side of his car is bashed in - gee, I wonder why.  I look over at him and he's blithely looking everywhere but the road.  I look back in front of me and the idiot in a VW Bug has stopped - stopped - for no reason - stopped.  I had to slam on my brakes and I missed plowing into the back of his car by approximately one inch.  Perhaps he was in cahoots with the other idiot - maybe that's their con.  But alas, I fear they are simply idiots who should not be allowed behind the wheel of a car - giving them credit to be smart enough to devise such a con is, of course, ridiculous.  They're simply idiots and other drivers sometimes have to pay the price for their idiocy.  Thankful my brakes are excellent.  And you can't even yell at them because they are so totally not in the real world, but in some world of their own imagining, so they're not even aware of the havoc they almost cause.

bk - You were not hurt. Your car was not "hurt". That's all that matters.

I'm not a Grey's regular, but I watched tonight's episode and liked it.  Then I watched PRIVATE PRACTICE and the story line about the dying mother and her 2 sons and their bad relationship hit a little too close to home - well, at least too close to the situation in my extended family...

In other news...

Today was an interesting today.

It turned out that Gabrielle Hamilton was back in town today doing a "Meet the Author" at the St. Agnes branch of the New York Public Library - which happens to be around the corner from DR elmore's fire escape. No food and drink this time - like in Chicago, just a reading from "Blood, Bones and Butter" and a Q&A session, but it was a very entertaining hour.

Gabrielle actually remembered me from the dinner in Chicago, and she even asked to run my hair/head again. The representative from the publisher also asked me about the dinner since she had set it all up, but was not able to attend. -And I was finally able to get Gabrielle Hamilton to sign my copy of her memoir. :)

Otherwise...

The first part of my day was neither good, nor bad. Just kind of weird and frustrating. Alas, some of the "weirdness" will continue tomorrow. I just hope that by the close of business tomorrow, I will finally have a place to stay for the next two months here in New York City. Otherwise... Well... There are some contingency plans in place, and I'll deal with those when and if I have to.

Finishing off the night by listening to "Prettybelle." This is truly one of the strangest scores ever written, and probably Bob Merrill's best set of lyrics. My jaw drops almost every time I listen to it. Racists, nymphomaniacal alcoholic schizophrenics, the No-Tell Motel and first mention of sushi in a musical I can remember.

I have finished my viewing for the evening - part one of The Ten Commandments, which is longer than the entirety of most movies.  So it is written, so it shall be done.  Remember that.  In honor of being Jewish, I got some chopped liver from Gelson's, which I am now happily eating.
