I liked the part about your sled. Too bad it was just a typo.

hmmmm I wonder it my sled would appreciate a pedicure....

[Jeanne]

Speaking of vacations, I've spent the last few weeks doing a lot of those pain-in-the-tush kind of things, including a trip to the DMV, which actually went pretty smoothly, given one's low expectations. Still lots of inefficiency, but could have been much worse. I'm attempting to take next week as staycation, with a facial planned, among other things. We'll see how it goes. I have a hunch a number of must-do things will creep (not the kind with blueberries and strawberries) in. I find staycations very helpful when I've been overly scheduled.

Bridget Medler  is who all the excitement wa about at the oulets today

I have never heard of her-  guess the Vixter is too old to be part of the fan base

Well, I read it as something like taking your sled to get your pedicure. One is entitled to a bit of poetic license.

But, given that it's August, I admit I was a bit confused.

creeps are much better with strawberries and blueberries... and vanilla icecream

They sound delicious.

Back from a mile and a half jog.  I've had a headache since I got up.  Took two Tylenol then, and just took two more.

I wonder if the cursing has started yet.

I tried out a new acupuncturist today. My old one is showing signs of burn-out and is also difficult to schedule with these days. I don't like the new one quite as well, but she's much closer and much cheaper. I shall give her a try.

[Jeanne]

TTFN, kids.

[Jane]

Good luck with the new acupuncturist!

thsi time next week we will be  flying over Canada most likely around the Calgary area

Lucky you! I love Canada.

we are going to see family -  all Vixdad's family live in the same town in Alberta, our niece is due to give birth so there should be a new baby by time we get there - our nephew (her brother) is being married and his wedding day is Vixdad's parents 62nd wedding anniversary ---(and they ar e of course grandparents to the groom)

Vixmom, who's going to be the translator?  Or do these people understand enough Lawn Guyland Noo Yawkese to get by?

[ChasSmith]

Had a great day in the city, and it was a real treat listening to Act One of ROBERTA straight through.  This is one beautiful piece.

Now I need to go back and listen to Act Two!!

I shall shortly be on my way to the Gardenia.

So glad I'm not alone on this - there are many who justify Von Trier's ending to the Nymphomaniac movies and I sort of get it, but I found it nauseating and that it made hash of everything that came before.  Below is one critic on the ending:

"But then – and here I breathe a rather heavy sigh – Von Trier just couldn’t let well enough alone. The final 90 seconds of film betray everything that came before it. And not in a way that makes logical sense within the film’s context. The characters just suddenly behave completely out of character, and the gentle, well-earned ending is stepped on. After four hours of rough, dark psychological analysis and eventual hints at empathy and even redemption, Von Trier – possibly because he just can’t help himself – raises a big middle finger to the audience. I don’t want to reveal what happens, but the final scene is enough to enrage."

I'll be the one wearing the gardenia.

I left my latest mystery at Toyland, so tomorrow, first thing, I will head back down there and pick it up. I'll schlep home a few more things as well, but if I head down around 8:30, I can be home before noon.

Tonight I watched a British comedy I'd never seen, Splitting Heirs written by Eric Idle. It reminded me of a raunchier version of Kind Hearts and Coronets, and I laughed myself silly. So . . . to bed.
