Five!

I'm finishing off my Peckinpahs from the library. Tonight it's Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia. Always good to see Warren Oates, but so far the screenplay isn't the best.

I spent too much of my time with IT today trying to get my laptop to work from home while waiting for a plumber. It was irritating after the first few hours.

John G. · « **Reply #123 on:** July 24, 2018, 06:51:54 PM »

The plumber came and replaced the broken faucet handle out back in less than five minutes, so that wasn't a problem. Five minutes' work for $120 (parts and labor). Could have been worse.

John G. · « **Reply #124 on:** July 24, 2018, 06:52:25 PM »

Then I went in to work and spent half of the afternoon trying to get IT to fix the laptop. BS.

John G. · « **Reply #125 on:** July 24, 2018, 06:53:00 PM »

So then I had to work late just to get caught up.

I know it's not a Vixmom day, but it was 104 again.

I did start listening to a what promises to be a fun book today, Turtles All the Way Down by John Green. It's a YA book, but it's well-written, the characters are interesting.

Good evening.

Wae-Ling has been here for the past several days, helping me with a project. She's a very good worker. And I'm pooped. When did I get this old?

Laura · « **Reply #130 on:** July 24, 2018, 07:21:07 PM »

We roasted a turkey the other day and have been eating leftovers ever since. Today we made biscuits for turkey al a king. We also made a loaf of rosemary bread.

Because, why not run the oven on a day it is 116 degrees?

I got up at 4 a.m. today to go hiking, because I have not been hiking for a couple of weeks. But I was so tired I went back to sleep and slept until 7 a.m.

John G. · « **Reply #132 on:** July 24, 2018, 07:27:03 PM »

Laura, I hate valet parking almost as much as you do. I fully empathize.

George · « **Reply #133 on:** July 24, 2018, 07:28:18 PM »

Well, I just had one of the Push-Ems® and I need to take them home and throw them away.

Evidently, I'd had them too long and they're really not very fresh. They're not horrible, but just a little too old.

John G. · « **Reply #134 on:** July 24, 2018, 07:28:33 PM »

Alfredo Garcia -- sounds like an Italian-Mexican plate -- is a despicable movie. I really dislike most of the characters. Great actors, though.

George · « **Reply #135 on:** July 24, 2018, 07:29:08 PM »

And now, it's past time for me to leave work, so I'd better be going.

Be back later.

I think Sam Rockwell is fairly good casting as Bob Fosse. But Michelle Williams is too spiritually shy for Gwen Verdon.

Finished with my viewing and must go get something to snack on.

By the way, today was the day from hell.

Just in case anyone was wondering.

Took today off to attend a noon book discussion in at the public library in Hamilton. The book was The Paris Wife, one of my favorites, and Cynthia did a good job reviewing it for us.

It is the only book I have read by this author. It did not make me interested in reading more of her books. Did you like it?

Yes, DR Jane, I did like it. She has a new novel that’s based on the life of Hemingway’s third wife Martha Gelhorn. That one interests me, too.

I suppose if I liked these people I would have enjoyed reading about them

Well, there is that...

I’m attracted to the time period and the locale, so liking the people isn’t a requirement for me.

LOL. Liking the people is a major requirement for me. Of course I don't normally li,e everyone but a few would have been nice

Well, speaking of ice cream, I had some Schwan's Chocolate Malt Push-Ems® at home. Today, we had a summer potluck at work and I forgot to bring something! I rushed home and got the Chocolate Malt Push-Ems® and some Hippeas (Jane, the power pepper version!) and brought those for the potluck. The Hippeas actually went fairly quickly, but there are still some Push-Ems® left. I'm going to have one of those now since I didn't have one earlier.

The malt push ems looking interesting for a bite or two.

We haven't tried those Hippeas. Are they spicy?

DR Laura your valet key story is funny in that it has a happy ending.

Helping during the day or sleeping there?

They're pretty strong, too strong for my sister who got them and let me try them. I like them.

Jane · « **Reply #145 on:** July 24, 2018, 11:15:19 PM »

I don't think we would.

Thanks to Netflix we watched READY PLAYER ONE tonight 😊

Oh yes, and much more than the novel.
