From DR TCB:

Thank goodness for my guardian angel (named Gabriel) and the young female employee with him, because they took such good care of me, and I believe they worked for SAS.

Sending good vibes for these kind people.

[Jane]

DR Vixmom thank you for the, extremely, interesting link to the life of Lena Horne.

A book on my library wish list showed available to check out.  I went to my Nook to borrow and download and it was already gone.  That was fast!  I have 2 books already checked out so I'm ok though my plan was to read this book before the other ones.

At first I was thinking that DR Jane was saying that her library told her an ebook was available but when she went to download it she couldn't. Now I understand what she did mean.  It was a book on her wishlist that she hadn't yet reserved. But still it was fast. Well now you can reserve it right and be second?
 
 

I can't put a hold on it without removing something from that list.  I only get 6 holds at a time which is why I check my wish list once or twice a day.

My niece (who will be 4 this Friday) blabbed my sister's Mother's Day present to her. It was pretty funny. I guess don't tell her anything you don't want everyone else to know.

Also, I had her make 4 cards yesterday (a Mother's day for my sister, a Mother's Day for my mom, a birthday card for my aunt whose birthday is today, and a birthday card for my brother-in-law's aunt whose party is today). So we showed my sister 3 cards and so my niece says "but I made 4 cards".   I had told her the 4th card was a secret. But I guess she doesn't quite get it yet.

Cute.

My shoulder is a little sore this morning but it's fine. I knew it was going to hurt when I was lifting my niece at the park. But she wanted to do those things (monkey bars and fireman's pole) so badly. I couldn't refuse.

Of course not.  Just a little sore isn't too bad.  I expect you are relieved it isn't worse.

Big thanks to DR Jane for the bookmark she sent me. Thank you so much. You are so sweet! I really like it.

Your timing to mention your new collection was perfect.

re: DR Jane's funny comment last night about losing weight by going to restaurants you don't like.

It's funny but I can't imagine eating out/taking out so much while trying to lose weight. I guess if you are doing it purely by calories then a lot of places now are listing those (so that part is good).

But here they don't do that (list calories). And most foods could have anything in them making them more fattening.

I feel like if I make the food myself then I know exactly what I am putting in it. And I can eat more fruits and vegetables and cook them how I like.

A restaurant in New Mexico listed all the calories which frustrated Keith.  He would have preferred not to know & hesitated to order what he really wanted.  I on the other hand was oblivious to the fact a calorie count had been provided.

[Jane]

Slept 10 hours, which was much needed.

I'm envious. 

[Jane]

I'm up - I guess I may have gotten JUST eight hours of sleep. 

You say JUST & I wish I could get that much.

Here is the kind of customer that just makes you scratch your head.  I received an e-mail filled with CAPS about how this guy had ordered Leave Her to Heaven and HADN'T RECEIVED ANY CONFIRMATION of the order (we don't do those - paypal tells you "you've made a payment"), and hadn't received a shipping notice (we don't do those), and hadn't received the disc.  So I told him we'd check his tracking information on Monday, since the discs had shipped over a week ago and should have reached him. 

He then wrote back and said he hadn't actually ordered from us.  Now, I don't know about you, dear readers, but doesn't that just make you wonder about someone's sanity?  But the capper is - he DID order from us because I'd already seen his invoice - I checked again just to make sure and saw that he'd actually ordered late - May 3rd, so his order probably didn't ship till the 5th or so, so while it's taking a while to get cross-country, it really hasn't been that long.

[Jane]

LOL

[John G.]

Leave him to heaven, BK.

I, on the other hand, placed an order late yesterday and haven't received my shipment before the arrival of today's mail. Whassup with that?

I'm up - I guess I may have gotten JUST eight hours of sleep.  We seem to be back online so gee I guess my modem wasn't the problem.  What I find so irritating about these people is that they just refuse to acknowledge it might be an outage even when they know they just had one - clearly their engineers thought they fixed it and just as clearly they hadn't.

It's a Scandal, It's an Outage - possible title for something

I sensed that a "fifth" of something had to be involved.  Someone was celebrating something a bit too hard. 

This sounds like Jrand's line about ordering something, then going right to the mailbox and waiting for it to be there.  LOL.

This Lena Horne story seems to be trending

Twitter Mourns the Loss of Lena Horne -- Again
Social media forget that the singer died three years ago.

http://www.theroot.com/blogs/grapevine/twitter-mourns-loss-lena-horne-again

"It wouldn't be the first time Twitter has incorrectly marked a celebrity's passing; Twitter has killed off the likes of Cher, Tony Yayo and Denzel Washington to date. Horne just may be the first person to be Twitter-killed after her actual death, though."

The second I posted the above it went down again. I unplugged the router for the third time and replugged but it is not happening. We will see how it is in the morning.

A Router, Damn?

The big surprise of "ParaNorman" for me was that one of the characters turned out to be gay.


Would that make it Paranorman is that you?


SPOILER FOR VIDEO OF "CALL ME, MAYBE" 





That turned out to be a major plot point in the video of last year's big Billboard hit CALL ME MAYBE.

Maybe people turning out to be gay are trending.

I'd never seen that video.  The ending's funny!

From DR TCB:

That seems rather odd.

Not to me and the reason as soon as I see a book has become available I rush to check it out.  I just wasn't fast enough this time.  It is only the wish list, not the hold list.

Sorry.  I guess I should have said. "That seems rather odd to me."

[John G.]

Watching "The Cincinnati Kid." Great cast. Wish the script had been better.

Did a three-mile jog - I'm thinking about doing the Mystery and Imagination trip tomorrow rather than today.  So, I'll just go eat something, I think.

I am heading out for the evening: dinner with Bruce Pomahac, then the Playwrights Horizon production of FAR FROM HEAVEN (?) by the GREY GARDENS team. Since I detest the orchestrator, who once royally screwed me over on a job, I'm sure I'll dislike his work as much as I loathe him personally. I haven't seen the film it's based on, so I have no idea of what to expect.

LOL  I understood why it seemed odd.  While I've always been aware this could happen it never has so I was a bit surprised.  At least it didn't happen when I was without something to read.

I had a super nice swim today.

I guess that's another way of looking at that same joke about sitting at the mailbox as soon as you place the order, LOL!
