Blaze is so cute, Larry!!

[MBarnum]

Randy and Jo were very sad over the deaths of both Max and Maddie within 2and a half months  of each other last fall. They now have a new puppy, named Blaze, whom Jo said she is spoiling to death. 

I dearly loved Max and Maddie, but I do think Blaze is awfully adorable.

Oh my gosh, he certainly is. Is he a German Shephard?

[elmore3003]

Blaze is, as far as I know, a registered German shepherd. They paid a fortune for him.

They drove to Iowa or somewhere in the midwest on Saturday to get him.

We really need a LIKE button around here.   Elmore, those are the best puppy pics ever

[Matthew]

I had something to say but was distracted by the puppy pics!

[elmore3003]

Jo says he's eight weeks old and huge. Since he's got home, he's only had three accidents in the house, and Jo's looking for an obedience class for him.

Oh right, the new recording of "Sweeney Todd" - I'm through "The Worst Pies of London" and I'm already bored.  I'm sorry, this music does not work without the singer doing some acting with their vocals.  The chorus is a "Chorus" - there is no accents, colors, or anything, flat as paint.  I'd rather have the score sung with some acting and character and sacrifice the quality of the singing, especially with "Sweeney Todd"  I'm hoping to get through it, but I can't promise anything.  LOL

From DR Jennifer:

sometimes I have a hard time starting a book. It can take me a day or two to feel like starting it.

I can understand this, that way you can keep the book you just finished for a little while longer.  Once a new book is begun I tend to move on.  Still, I need something to read at night which means at times my time to contemplate the novel U just finished is only about 10 minutes.

I almost just had a heart attack.

I could not get my kindle to start.

It froze (on something in my email).

I had tried resetting it. But did not do it for the full 20 seconds. So when i saw to do it that long on amazon.com help, I did it. And thankfully it started. But i was freaking out for 15 minutes.

I fear my Nook will lock in the middle of a book and not resart.

That's one good thing about cats...not so many "accidents."  But then they do throw up anytime they damn well please.

I remember seeing Shampoo at the American Film Festival in Dallas.  Beatty spoke after the film and I recall some pretentious film student getting up and asking him about symbolism and themes in the movie and Beatty just looking at her befuddledly and saying: "I don't know what you're talking about.  Bob Towne and I just made a story about various people and a lifestyle we were familiar with in LA."

That's funny.

Lovely cat photos from DR JANE......

Thank you.

I completely agree.  And don't pay too close attention to the lyrics.  They don't seem to either.

TOD:

Looking at Warren Beatty's film credits on IMDB, I find that I have no favorite Warren Beatty films.

Did you see the funny remake of HEAVEN CAN WAIT?

Right outside our hotel we bought 48-hour tickets and at, 10:30, boarded a Big Bus tour that took us all around London.  We took about an hour break for a light lunch at the National Gallery and got back to the hotel about 4pm.  Tomorrow, we'll use the bus more for transportation than tourism.  There's also a river cruise included, so we'll try to work that into our plan.

I dodged a bullet last night.

I came home to find the temperature in my house at 63 degrees.  And yet the heater was set at 74.  It would run, but there was no fire in the furnace.  Fortunately, my heater is covered by my gas & electric company and even more fortunately, they were able to send a guy out to fix it.  Turns out my ignition was dull.

I'm glad you dodged the bullet.

We're getting a new library in San Antonio -- with no books.

http://news.yahoo.com/library-without-books-bibliotech-open-193118588--abc-news-tech.html

It's an interesting idea. But I don't know if I want to only read on my ereader. I love physical books. Right now I am about 50-50, leaning more on the side of reading actual books.

My library does not loan out to kindles right now. My favorite part though about ereader reading is the font size. It is always perfect!

Hello, everyone.

I am home with the sore throat that's been with me now for the past month. I had to cancel a dental appointment and I'm not happy. This poor tooth needs help and between one thing and another I haven't been able to get it taken care of. So I'm a disgruntled couch potato.

Poor baby!! 

SORE THROAT BEGONE VIBES!!!

I had an original nook that was downloading an update, but I didn't know that, I just knew it was taking forever to load, so I tried to restart it and as a result it died.  D.E.A.D. By that time they had stopped making that nook and it was out of warranty so I was just out of luck.  I was bummed because I liked it but it gave me a reason to get my Nook Tablet, that I really love

I want to pass on the news about Junior's. I ran into a neighbor while putting out the garbage. He told me that he worked at Junior's for 33 years and never missed a day, and now, of course, has lost his job. I had no idea he worked there. He told me that someone else has already leased the space--another deli! When I asked if Junior's was going to reopen in another spot, he seemed doubtful. He also told me that the owners' assertions that they couldn't make money wasn't true.

I do hope that the new deli is a good one. My neighbor is interviewing with them later today.

On their facebook page Junior's mentioned they might have found a new location.  JOB VIBES FOR YOUR NEIGHBOR!

I've never had it freeze while reading a book, only while using the internet (minimal) functions.

You can say that again

Just watched Sunday's episode of Downton Abbey.  Quite a shocker-I have to admit I didn't see it coming.

What a cute dog (Blaze)!

I don't have to read before bed, so that part doesn't bother me.

Yes sometimes the books are that good that it's hard to move on. But also it just takes me a while to choose the next book and get ready to start it. But once I start it i tend to race through it.

I didn't either.

Blaze is adorable.
