We’ll do our best. I’m even going to try and find my stupid camera so you can all feel like you were there. 
Good morning and Happy Friday all!
I was a good girl when I went home last night and immediately changed my clothes so I could work out on the treadmill. That’s two whole nights in a row! Yesterday, I upped the incline and the speed. Tonight I’ll probably do the same.
I used to find Brad Pitt very attractive. There was this sort of non-perfection to him that made him look just right to me. Besides, he had a hard bod. I dunno, though, here in the last few months he’s looking sort of…bleh.
I did see Fight Club. It was alright.
I also saw Soylent Green many, many, many years ago when it came out. That was a weird movie. My daughter wants to see it. I’ll have to see if I can find it on DVD for her.
trublmaker , that is really cool about the guy sending you back the $250.00. I’ve never had anything like that happen to me.
rigs, I’m glad you’re feeling better.
Well, I’ll address the other stuff and other folks here when I come back. Need to do some work now.
We have a nominee for next week’s MMP.
All in favor of rigs doing next week’s MMP say “Aye”.
AYE!!!
All those opposed say “Nay”.
** :: CRICKETS ::**
The “Ayes” have it. rigs will post next weeks MMP. Thank you for voting and doing your civic duty. That is all.
Yay for rigs! I can’t wait to see what she’ll entertain us with. Taters, Soylent Green is an exceedingly weird movie. Definitely worth seeing though. And now I’m off to do that whole “learning” thing. You know, with the professors and the classrooms and the … textbooks, I think is what they’re calling them now. If I’m not back in a few hours, keep waiting.
welby, that’s awesome. I might start making Mr. Lissar tell me bedtime stories.
I also want him to buy me a manul cat and a hedgehog. I looked at pictures of them last night and got all cutesy and whiny.
Hugs to anyone who’s got insomnia. I hate insomnia.
Today I’m going to putter. There’s a few chores to do, but primarily I plan to read. Intellectual Husband hasn’t emailed me his flight information, and if he doesn’t do it by tonight I will make threatening phone calls
Tomorrow we go to the Antique Clothing and Textiles show. It will be really fun.
I need tea.
We’re going to see the Pink Panther today. I don’t think anyone can top Peter Sellers, but #2 son wants to see it. (day off school-lazy teachers).
I am somewhat better–still tired and no voice (kids loving that),but my nose is no longer imitating Niagra Falls, so it’s all good. Didn’t sleep well last noc, but there’s always tonoc, no?
Off work until Tuesday.
And yet I don’t remember ever seeing you post in any of the episode threads I started. :: pouts ::
So how about that Sebastion Bach belting out “Hollaback Girl”? I think I can die now that I’ve seen that (meaning, my will to live has been ripped from my body.)
I don’t wander into Cafe Society very much, so I’ve never noticed a “Gilmore Girls” thread. You gotta admit it takes a certain je ne sai quois to belt that song out just so. I don’t want that je ne sai quois, mind you, just sayin’. If Lorelei and Luke do not get married, I am personally going to Star’s Hollow and torch the diner and the inn.
Ah, that explains why we seem to agree on a lot of things. I too am a Recovering Catholic. I went to school at a small inner-city parish, and we didn’t have a lot of altar boys but we had at least three seervices a day. I had often attended Mass twice a day during the week just so we’d have the masses covered. I really don’t do the religious observance thing anymore. My grandmother said I didn’t have to after I didn’t go to the seminary after graduating high school.

slowly catching up to the present in the MMP this week
Sebastian Bach is on Gilmore Girls??? I think that might be just plain wrong. Now I’m having junior-high flashbacks. Oddly enough, my best friend from that era and I were talking about him a few weeks ago, and it occurred to me that at the time Skid Row was so popular, he was almost ten years younger than we are now. That’s just freaky to me, for some reason. I’m still enough of a closet fan to go see him in Jekyll & Hyde, but I don’t think I can bring myself to watch Gilmore Girls. I am slowly weaning myself off the WB. Smallville will be over at the end of this season, and then I’ll be almost free of them. Curse the WB and their teen soaps.
Oh, there are so many smart-ass ways I could respond to this.
swampy no kidding on the wedding thing, now that Logan and Rory are quits (for real, this time.) But she had a great line in the bar: “Apparently he had several blonds for Thanksgiving.”
Drae SB is/was in a band with Rory’s friend Lane. They broke up earlier this year (the band) and are now getting back together. 3 of the people in the band are early-20s folk, SB is not. But he’s their lead singer and guitarist. My step-daughter-to-be loves it when he gets to be on.
And welby, there are so many smart-assed ways to respond to your bedtime story comment. I just can’t pick which one.
Sean being as Logan has signed on for the next season, it ain’t over yet. I predict they’ll be back together. Remember, Rory likes her boys kinda bad, so it seems. This sounds like we should be in robes, slippers and curlers sittin’ round the kitchen table sippin’ coffee and munchin’ on cake. 
welby’s bedtime story: Once upon a time there was this man who liked to dress up in rainbow colored tablecloths…
…and buttless chaps.
I would have been here sooner, but that one boy I got (Soupo in this case) had an “Author Celebration” at school this morning. That was fun. At least there were doughnuts.
You know what happened to me yesterday at work? I GOT PEED ON! And I wasn’t even in on that exam to start with.
“Oh Rue!” I hear.
“What?” says I.
“Can you help us with this dog?”
I should just say “no” when they ask me that, but I work with hot wimmins (Actually really cold wimmins and to show just how cold they are they put there super frosty cold hands on my arm. It’s a girl thing, putting super frosty cold hands on warm boys. I think it’s just 'cause they like me and want to touch me as much as they can.) and I’m a sucker for hot wimmins. So I said “sure”, which in hindsight wasn’t the right answer.
Anyway, it wasn’t a very big dog (a 45 pound-ish Vizsla), but she wasn’t happy with the whole check-over-at-the-vet thing. And then she decided it was time to get off the exam table. It was a sudden decision, and it was accompanied with much flailing. And an unusual amout of flying pee. Most of which splashed onto me. (And the wall behind me, which was also behind the dog. As I said, there was much flailing.)
Luckily I bring a change of scrubs with me when I go to work. I think ahead that way.
Also, at work, they didn’t believe me when I said you could eat capybaras during Lent just like they were fish (fried with a squirt of lemon). I don’t know why they thought I was lying. Because I wasn’t. (It’s down there under “Economic and ecological aspects” in the “Hunting” part.)
So check this out. susan_foster and I are not the same person, though we sometimes seem to be. Now it turns out that were I a man, I’d be Sean Factotum.
I can dig it.
Is this where we come to admit that we’re closeted Gilmore Girls fans? Yeah, that’d be me too. I taped it (yes, I still use VHS tapes and video tape my shows) and watched it last night. I’m a sucker for bad boys too so I really hope Rory and Logan get back together. And that he tells his father to take his money and shove it where the sun don’t shine.
OK, so everyone remembers the wedding gown I’ve got, right? I posted pix early this week if anyone’s forgotten. So what kind of veil/headpiece would go with that? I’m thinking that the veil shouldn’t cover the front of it at all and needs to just hang down in back. What says the MMP?
Who are these Gilmore Girls of whom you speak? Are they like Gibson Girls?
And is Bugs Bunny involved? 'Cause if it’s from Warner Brothers then Bugs should be involved, ‘cause that would make it soooo much better, is all I’m sayin’
Taxi, I suppose a Darth Vader helmet is right out, then?
I thought so. It just seemed so funny when it popped into my head.
I think something simple is good. No, don’t cover your face. The dress isn’t the star, you are.
Welby, what else does your wife make you do? Is she getting back at you for wearing her tablecloth?
Where the heck is Exgineer anyway?
Paging Lazy American Husband! Paging Exgineer!
I vote for just a veil down the back, and not over the face.
Wonder if you can get capybaras at the local grocery store? Driving Husband’s family has an old (about 1920s) wilderness survival handbook that has a recipes section. The first recipe under ‘Vegetables’ was squirrel soup. So squirrels are really just fast-moving arboreal veggies.
Aren’t those the blodd-sucking monsters from below the US-Mexican border?
And I brought a dozen doughnuts to work today, because I had to stop and get something to eat to take my antibiotics. Five minutes after I get to work, Mandy comes in bearing two dozen doughnuts. Damn alien is trying to show me up!
