I say BUY IT, due to my extreme regret and not buying the cutest shoes EVER when I was in Montreal.....you can always wear it to Leigh's rockin' new year's eve!!!

I'm probably the only one who will answer.

well there's not a heck of a lot going on today, I'm waiting for leigh to show up that's about it. We're going to make lists. The coffee was excellent today.

parenting tip of the day

I have a cousin who shall remain nameless to protect her identity from nosey state-types. She had a child that was a TERROR. I can't even tell you. Anyway, if she wanted the child to sleep or chill she would give the child benedryl. She didn't do it all the time or anything, just when she NEEDED the child to sleep. I'm not recommending this I'm just informing of you as to what some people do.

witwihdsd

I say stockholm

just get 2 amy, that will be enough.

Oh yeah, Peter and Maureen ARE coming. Tom and Angela are not.

Frank just came to do an inspection and make arrangements with JK. I bought maddy "the good tuna" only to be chastised for not getting "the right bread". "What can I say Maddy", say I. "I know what I can say" sayeth she. "You better stop right now", I warned.

So my fam, Suzanne, GG and Bumpa, theresa and Stan are all going to camp. I got the thurlows individual six packs for their big two-five. He - bud, she - corona. We'll be grilling and I'm making broccoli salad and I bought a tiramisu cake. Won't that be fun?

i don't have jack squat! i'm working on finishing some job crap then organizing my shit so we can leave for maine you goofball! i'm leaving at 2ish......so there, i don't have jack squat after all.

OBAMA rules.

I'm off to Lincoln. We're having dinner at the Thurlow camp tonight.

In housing news, my house didn't leak ONE DROP last night, thanks to the handiwork of JK. What a man. It poured too. Of course we didn't sleep because we were wondering if it WOULD pour.

Politician of the Day!

Barak Obama!

The entire hope of the democratic party. Thank God.

is hdsd going to geneva?

i dunno what to do about the friend thing.

damned max woke me up by crying in my ear. i had a weird dream about princess di last night.

for the record, dean got a much longer reception than clinton....and he thanked maine first.

security checkpoint? that sucks ass. is it just today or all the time? i think max and i are gonna nap now.

I agree Jen should invoice them for the work she did.

Sorry folks, JK and I have been installing a new roof! Just in time because it IS raining here in Btown.

The roof is silver and plastic and it is called a TARP. When I bought the tarp I learned that blue is light duty, green is medium and silver is heavy. I made an error and screwed up JK's entire roofing plan. My bad.

i'm always up for gov's. dont' tell bf he'll be jealous. now i just have to decide if i want the lobster roll or the lobstah roll....

well it looks like only one person has signed up for both of my next two workshops. i'm so peeooed. if i had known no one was going to sign up for them, i would have worked for kent writer's camp this summer. ah well, looks like i have august off after all.

will it rain???

weather.com - Local Weather Page

-e. and he kinda has hanson hair. max is carefully inspecting his work.

there's a teenager here with a phish t-shirt. he's organizeing tyler's cd's. thank blog. he's the son of a (future) preacher man. yes he is. he is. ohhh, yes he is.

definitely. especially in january.

a lo are we going out to dinner? i have no idea what time we're arriving, we're not leaving here until 2 so with coffee stops and peeing we may not get there until 8. just something to think about.

i would drive a vespa. a vespa would be PERFECT for kent. i'm sad to say i might have to have grilled cheese for lunch. there don't seem to be a lot of options here.

so eat apricots and leave my plums out of it!!

hells no.

why would you screw with the perfection of a plum?

oh yeah, next friday 8/6

and now it's time for....ADVENTURES INNNNN FRUIIIIIIITTTTTT

The fruit of the day is the PLUMCOT, can you say PLUMCOT pronounced plum-cot NOT plume-coe. The plumcot is a cross between the apricot and the plum. It is hideous on the outside but sweet and tasty on the inside. However, be cautious it must be soft or it isn't ripe. Julst like a regular plum or apricot.

my hair is also looking fabulous today!

i assume that becky's partay will be NEXT friday at 8pm, am i right? or am i wrong?

snoop i always knew you were a stinkah.

today i'm attempting to get bf to pack a bit. we're bringing a huge box of smartfood in little bags to b-town. thanks, kent school!

Alert!!!!!

Becky's bachelorette party will be at Wing Wah on Friday at 8:00. I'll dd if you guys want to go.

The bull is at the corner of the woodman mill road. It's a tricky bastard too.

Nope, triangle didn't get called out? Is it going to be on the news? Maybe now I can have my dump man back.

so last night i went to the Bridal Shower which featured small sandwiches, chips and dip, punch and cake. It was wonderful and Becky got lots of fabulous gifts and prizes. I got to make the ribbon hat.

Came home and watched the DNC with JK. We had steak with sauteed asparagus and summer squash for dinner. It was very good. Mr. Carter gave a wonderful speech. Everyone will criticize Bill today saying his speech wasn't strong enough etc., but that just proves that they just don't get it so I'm not going to explain because I know all of you DO get it.

This am I woke up at the crack of 4:30 and let the damned chickens out. Slept more then got up at 6:15 and went for a bike ride (6 miles). I almost killed myself because I didn't take any water with me and a Bull really wanted to trounce me. Alas I made it home alive and only walked the bike about 20 steps. John thought I was going to explode but I didn't. 30 situps and I'm good to go.

HDSD why don't you call the police or break a window.

poor HDSD, I've heard of being locked out, but locked in? There must be a hidden buttons somewhere.

That phone call reminds me of the riotous call we got from "Senator Bill Frist's office" tell us as small business owner's how important we are and if we give $1,000 to his PAC we'll have SOOOO much influence in Washington. (This was a a very personal TAPE RECORDING) we listened just for the entertainment value. Soon after we were in a restaurant in Dover Foxcroft and noticed a framed certificate saying that gullible soul was a member of the senator's "exclusive" group of advisors. Needless to say we'll never eat there again.

well, LTL, i wouldn't have been able to just say no...i'm sure i would have said something sarcastic and traitorous. poor hdsd to be trapped in an apt in berlin all day. it's got to be almost time for the folks to be out of work, isn't it? imho, he should have blogged a LOT more during his entrapment. so i watched old bc speak last night; don't the democrats wish they had a candidate like him running now. he's lost a lot of weight too. no one could call him tubby now, he's downright lean.

that's an excellent idea

apparently.

i couldn't come up with a good snack even though i really needed one.

they are also changing the logo signs on the state line from 'the way life should be' to 'white trash and redneck heaven'....as conan o'brien said, our quarter logo should be 'maine! the south of the north!'

what's the blog going to do without you LTL.

Well I say khaki's and a hawaiian shirt as that is what JK is going to be wearing. Tonight is a bridle shower for Becky. That's what sandwiches and pres' are all about.

I was thinking that maybe we could have becky over for drinks friday night unless she has other plans, so mark your calendars.

except hdsd of course...

looks good. The boss and I decided cocktails were in order, so i'm enjoying a nice gin and tonic. Eat your hearts out.

I have wrapped all the gifts and am now contemplating the sandwiches.

HDSD, your birthday has been noted and will appear on the blog calendar sometime in the future, I just couldn't do an entire years worth of dates, but I will at some point.

JK and I had a lovely game of croquet. He beat me soundly. We tried our new adult sized game and it is very nice. Heavy duty!

blog poll

what should tyler pack to wear to becky's wedding?

sounds like a fun vacation(except the dead dog part) i don't think i've ever been to santa's village...

so t and i ordered this cd from cdbaby.com from this band we heard on xm called the crimea. they wrote us today saying they don't get us orders very often, and thanks for liking them. i thought that was cool.

which brings me to a series of questions:
who is this mo rocca dude? is he just about the luckiest no talent loser in entertainment since ryan seacrest? and why does he seem to have a career when i can't even get a job?

i will watch as little of the convention as humanly possible.

i guess hdsd is in katmanduu

Is ANYONE going to watch any of the convention?

keeping up was kind of boring on friday anyway. You didn't miss anything.

Blackadder quotes

Blackadder quotes: "Percy: I'll advise them to stay there then. Keep their hands off our women.
Edmund (Blackadder): Oh God, who is she this time?
Percy: I don't know what you mean. Aah, ouch, aah. [Edmund succeeds in pilfering a letter from Percy]
Edmund: Aah, and who is Jane?
Percy: I'm sworn to secrecy. Torture me, kill me, you shall never know. Ooh, ouch... Jane Herrington. We're very much in love, my lord.
Edmund: This is the Jane Herrington?
Percy: Yes.
Edmund: Jane - bury-me-in-a-Y-shaped-coffin - Herrington.
Percy: I.., I think maybe there are two Jane Herringtons."

Tyler I challenge you to change your compliments to insults this week. I bet you can't do it.

Well let's see what's on my agenda today. Folding laundry, dishes, wrapping presents, making sandwiches for the shower, then going to the shower I guess. I don't know what else.

Last night we finished Black Adder. Leigh I strongly recommend this as an addition to you rental repertoire. It stars Rowan Atkinson. It's a riot. I love his insults.

I guess Berlin.

Well obviously The Third Man and Scooby are quite similar....

I guess Paris!

I think I need another clue as to your whereabouts, I couldn't get the DB train schedule to load ...

HDSD it MAY surprise you to learn that I actually tried to make SPAM Nori rolls for spamfest 2004, they would have been perfect if I'd had more practice with my rolling. Anyway they'll definitely be on the menu for next year.

since this seems to be the only format that I can get to work with the tagboard, this is what it is. I'll continue to work on other templates for your blogging pleasure.

Anyway, fyi leigh, the blog is purple.

JK and I thought we could put charcoal in the volcano to make it smoke as an added bonus you could cook your hot dog on it!

Google News

one of the things I love about Leigh is that she is as much of a news geek as I am - i'm also watching mclaughlin of course.

well, there's a MAJOR flaw in my new cookie jar. The handle is too small and difficult to grasp. UGH>

Cute purse! she exclaimed. Thanks, I replied with an internal smugness. I neglected to inform her she could have on for herself if she'd only get to JC Penney. I did slightly regret that it wasn't the Elvis purse.

I got a compliment on my purse this a.m. in Hannaford, by the way.

OK last night we didn't really do anything at all. We watched a couple of Blackadder (my new favorite show), then went to bed, we were both exhausted. Oh yeah, I have to take a pic of my new shower system.

This a.m. the kids woke me up so I was grumpy for a while. Too grumpy to live with actually. I bitched at the whole family before it was over. I took the kids to hannaford and got some supplies and we went to the Mill STreet diner for breakfast.

Came home, did two loads of laundry and 1 of dishes. Washed the bathroom and kitchen floors, folded some laundry and now I'm making a chocolate cake.

Well, let's see what's happened since last I blogged....

congrats to unk! cardinals in 1st place in their division...can anything stop them now?? (she says, like she knows baseball)

dammit

my sleeping schedule is completely screwed up. yesterday afternoon i made the mistake of taking a short nap. then tyler brought me back a coolatta at 10pm which i greedilly sucked down. he and i ended up shopping online and playing cards until 2:30...THEN, i woke up, looked at his clock and it said 8:10....i catnapped until 9 and dragged my ass out of bed, only to look on the puter and it said 7:46! apparently, the power went off in the night and when he reset the clock he set it an hour ahead. dammit. so i woke up at like 7 after going to bed at almost 3 and i'm really tired now. i made pancakes and bacon for breakfast this am, which means i'll be taking a big nap at some point. i'm gonna vaccum a bit first. and in other news, there were actually jobs in the paper for me to apply to today.

the $6 purse... 

my new cookie jar..... 

I forgot to report that the stuffed peppers were EXCELLENT and needed NO adjustments whatsoever. We used multi-colored peppers which made them very pretty. You could sprinkle them with a little monterrey jack if you're a cheese person.

GG and I then went to the craft store, I went to the party store first to look for cake supplies and bought a large round cake plate. She got yarn at the craft store. Then we went to Target out of habit but realized we didn't really need anything. I got wrapping supplies. We both got coffee at starbucks - me hot, medium, her -one of those frappe things (low carb). Then we came home.

JK is soldering his but off trying to repair the plumbing emergency. What a man.

Tonight I'll be marking the cookbooks with some of my favorite recipes.

Well, I have to say the HDSD report adds a lot of international flair to the blog. You look GREAT HDSD, keep it up. Got up this a.m. at 3:00 to constant drip of RAIN hitting my keyboard again, so I got up and moved the computer and put towels down everywhere. I fought the tears of frustration as i listened to rain pour in through hundreds of places in my house but try as I might I couldn't go back to sleep. I read, I got up, I laid back down, I tried to sleep. Couldn't. Let the chickens out at five, read, decided it was all useless so I went for a drive. Went to El's and watched Edward Scissorhands. Came home (this is 7 a.m.) made JK coffee and prepared to start my day (oh yeah, no water in the house due to a bathroom plumbing failure). Went to Bangor with GG. Bangor was sale city today. 1st stop TJ's where I actually bought a cookie jar, very cute, multicolored stripes on misc cream background, porcelain, wide mouthed, shower gifts for becky (White MATCHING towels and product) from suzanne and Jen respectively, a square cake pan, and cooling racks, and mudd masque pour moi.

Next stop was Jo-ann fabric where gram bought 1 skein of yarn. Then we went to lunch at Ruby Tuesday where I had a chicken caesar salad, correction 1/4 salad because it was too large. I brought the rest home. GG had cream of broccoli soup. We saw Donaldine T. and misc daughters in law and granddaughters who were shopping for a wedding. Kelly T. is getting married next year by the way.

Hmm, then GG went to JCPenney and I went to B. Dalton where I bought Becky two cook books (my own shower gifts) the standard Joy of Cooking (Hardbound) and Silver Palate New Basics. Just what every new bride needs IMHO, and the 911 commission report for the JK's. Why? I have no idea. Then shopped the purse kiosk where I ALMOST purchased and Elvis cigar box purse for 31.45 but thought better of it. It was so damn cute though.

I then went to Suncoast where I purchased Snatch. Back to the kiosk, called Jen for verification on the purse decision. She sent me to JCPenney where I did get a cute cigar box purse for $10. (Two girls drinking martinis, a bit of bling). GG loved it. Let's see then I went out in the mall and waited for GG and a guy sat down and talked to me. He was from Fredericton, he tried to tell me we paid to much in tax (car registration, property), I convinced him that he probably paid about the same (sales, gas) plus he got free health care. He agreed with me, then went on the bitch about the war. We got along famously, I love those Canadians, I wish I'd caught his name. We talked 1/2 hour.

hey a_lo, it's your birthday!
happy birthday to you!

ltl i could have acertained a free copy of modest mouse for you.

ok i'm off to look at houses

Snoop wha happened????

Well, your pres from me shipped via ups on wednesday so you likely will have it today, besides YOU DID get a pres from J and T....

Hey A-lo - Happy Bday, did you get your prez?

Ahh, well I meant the exercise regimen. My fruit and fiber diet is perfect for me. I can't eat bread or it kills the whole thing.

Tonight - stuffed peppers and bridge with the 'rents. Tomorrow Bangor with GG.

The photo is done, do you have a frame?

I cannot do the subway diet, but i'd love to have your regimen.

...and speaking of cake, I made a GREAT yellow cake yesterday, here's the recipe. This was Gram Shorey's cake.

Sugar Cake
In sifter put:
2 cups flour
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
Sift into a large bowl

In separate bowl whisk together
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

Add milk mixture to flour mixture add 1/2 cup melted shortening

Mix until combined. Place in greased and floured baking pan and bake at 400 for 20 minutes.

Of course that's not at all how I did it, but you can if you want to.

Volcano

The volcano is in production, but as I was making it I wished I'd made it a giant volcano bowl. I think it's goint to work out good though.

As you wiiiiiiiiiiishsssshhhhhhh

I don't know why, but I didn't watch BB last night. We took the kids to gg's for a swim then stopped at the 'rents for a few. Didn't get home till after 9. JK had a hamburger and salad for dinner, I had leftover soup. Today I'm back on the fruit and fiber diet after gaining back 3 lbs.

alright, I was GOING to PLAY princess pouty face all day, but i guess there's no point. Emily is in Bangor today.

blog poll:

if i wear shorts and tshirts all summer, why are my arms tan but my legs as white as my ass?

i may declare this a sick day. my throat is KILLING Me because of allergies, i just picked up claratin last night. my nose is stuffed up. anything else i can complain about? oh yeah, my ankle hurts.

last night i dreamed that i told ellen and ralph that for their 25th anniversary they should buy me diamond earrings. and they did. talk about fantasy!

wha'happened? where is everyone this morning?

You people have to get over it
Leigh, the blog is now white, please post in dark colors only...

and

live in the now!!!

well, i've been slightly more productive today. i've done a few loads of laundry, taken care of dishes, went to the grocery store (we're having belgique ice cream for dessert), and taken care of the laundry stuff....so today's been better. i even got dressed.

ltl, whatever you wear, you'll look stunning i'm sure. just don't forget to thoroughly spray yourself down with some wonderful-smelling DEET to ward off those mosquitoes!

coolatta's are expensive but the reason i don't buy them is that they can't hold a candle to the timmy's ice capp. mmm...i wish i had one right now.

kinky

oh yeah, i forgot I was supposed to change that to New York Dolls. Sorry about that.

I never buy coolattas because the cost about $4.

hey a-lo....pick up some plain yogurt, a cuccumber, and some mint, mix above ingredients in a bowl, you'll have a nice cooling condiment for your curry.

amy's story would have a lot more meaning for me if i didn't know for a fact that she bought that donut on saturday morning and it has been sitting in an open bag until she returned it last night. no wonder it looked disgusting. ha ha ha ha ha

it only takes 5 minutes? whoda thunk it?

bring water to boil with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp sugar, put in corn, cook 5 minutes. Or if you're orlie, cook 30 minutes

Wear jeans and high heeled sneakers (pink) from Burlington coat factory

dinner dilemma solved

when indecision strikes, have cheeseburgers and tater tots. how long does it take to cook corn on the cob? i don't think i've ever done it before...

Well, I suppose it DOES give you an excuse to go to Target.

I STILL KNOW IT JENN!!!

well leigh, if you'd been paying attention you'd know that the blog has had technical difficulties and is white for today. For blog's sake!!!

Now that pisses me right off! I could have done it for you for chripes sake! Friggin' CC.

Leigh, are you assigning a DD for this shin-dig? I don't want to get sued.

It's funny how much you can actually bitch about if you just give it a little effort. I SWEAR they put sugar in their coffee milk, they might use Garelick cream for something, but they sweeten the dairy product they put in the coffee. I KNOW IT AMY!!

I STILL KNOW IT JENN!!!

Leigh, the blog is now white, please post in dark colors only...

oops i did it again...

this isn't tyler, and it hasn't been for the last few posts

i wish there was a dd closer to me! i want a caramel swirl iced latte...with NO sugar (but whipped cream if they ask)

i kinda agree with rachael. i didn't see anything in that letter that was an attack on the bpo at all. don't get me wrong, i have several reasons to attack the bpo, but none of them were mentioned in ms. lovejoy's letter.

Since the BPO doesn't have one of those computerized re-labelers, I'm going to say this whole incident originated in Portland or Bangor in some GIGANTIC database, if so they don't know that Lovejoy used to be Stevens and 1442 long ridge road really means PO box 46.

You people have to get over it and live in the now!!! This isn't your grandmother's post office.

you know, in the state of Maine, it's illegal to tape people's conversations without them knowing about it, I bet this would apply to yahoo messenging too if you went to the supreme court.

If you make a million off that poem I want half.

so why did you mess up the blog?
I mean, really, you need to be more careful

My thoughts cry out like frightened children awoken by nightmares
I'm ignoring you at this point

Tyler would HATE that! I bet you could substitute smashed hotdogs in that recipe for the spam though.

Bloomberg.com: Top Worldwide

Kerry Overtakes Bush in Swing States, Nationwide (Update2)
July 22 (Bloomberg) -- Democratic challenger John Kerry this month overtook U.S. President George W. Bush among voters in swing states and nationwide, according to a poll conducted by the Washington-based Pew Research Center.

sorry jen, missed that

..anyway that letter is causing a big shake up at the post office and now I'm going to have to bring my key again, at least till the post mistress gets over it.

...see I got Aunt LIl's bday wrong too and you don't hear HER complaining.

Anyway, no one answered my blog poll.

blog poll

what should i make for dinner tonight?

They half know about it, it's about 12' I think

well it's settled, I'll be getting the wolf 5 burner cooktop for my kitchen.

I guess Luxembourg

I STILL KNOW IT JENN!!!

FYI, I only guess Prague because I checked the destinations of that airline websand that's where I would go. Not because of any particular hint.

This is when the blog is wonderful, getting advice from 5000 miles away and not needing to make an international call...

Hmm, that cake file was a .bmp, I could send you a .tif

Ash, you COULD digicam us some pics for blogs sake.

HDSD, I'll definitely be consulting you for my own European vacation.

I hate people spending money on me. Just blog your postcards that's fine. You should get Hello!

I still don't really know who Jude Law is. I wish I'd been invited on this Europe trip. I'm VERY jealous.

HDSD: ALWAYS take a black/brown reversible belt when traveling. I saw a very slylishly plain one at the Amish store. I'm not sure if Calvin makes one though. What designer do you prefer?

i don't know about my wedding, but i'd like jude law at my bachelorette party...

fig.

what non-swear irritates you the most? for me it's any perversion of "Jesus Christ" except Jesus H. Christ which I like, I hade "jesum crow", "jeepers cripes", "Jesum cranny" any of those.

yes I mean the croquet field, then the pig could be roasted right there I don't know.

if you're done administering, who will i harass? c'mon, rachael, you're the admin with the mostest!

the pig is going to be done on a spit at my house.

I STILL KNOW IT JENN!!!

to give you an update, there's something wrong with the other template, I'll give them a day or two to work it out then put it back on. This one was designed by a different person and seems to function ok. I'll reinstate the tag when my patience returns. I hate the blue time and comments on this one though.

The rooster won't stop crowing, you can blog all you want, i'm done bitching AND administrating.

thanks for the letter LTL. sadly, that wasn't the juicy burlington gossip i was looking for. i was hoping that someone would finally admit that ONE person who works in the post office uses it as her personal sewing circle. i remember edith would never give us our lunch until she asked about our family,what was going on, if someone was sick she'd need an update...basically it was a food for gossip exchange. someone at the bpo uses the same principal when delivering mail at the counter.

Then I called Frank and we discussed the pig. I'm having second thoughts of having the partay in the orchard and considering the field. We'll discuss it thursday snoop.

Came home got JK supper (9:00 p.m.) then read the bill book for a while.

ok around 2 Maddy and I made a flying trip to lincoln. We went to the bank, the grocery store and bought volcano supplies. Then we came home. I packed up the kids and we went to Lincoln - we were going to gg's to swim. They decided they were hungry so we went to mcdonald's, checked out a house for ww then went to gg's for an hour. They swam and played with Willie. We met GG's new neighbor the very cute basset hound. Maybe that's what I should get for a dog, except they're so stinky, other than that I think they would be perfect. Then we went to moms where i was told to immediately go to Cheryl's, so I did. We talked Cake, then Ralph showed up and talked trash can turkeys and building bbq pits. I almost said something I shouldn't have and so did cheryl, but we both caught ourselves. Ralph has made a 25 year collage to hang on the trailer at Louden.

Ok yesterday was freaking busy for me, I don't even know where I left off hold on let me check...

well...i seriously caution you to NOT criticize the blog today. You'll have to just live without the tag for a bit. Any non-bloggers may comment by clicking any COMMENT link.

ty

ooo, burlington gossip! who wrote the letter and what did it say?

i've just woken up and i'm trying to decide what to do with my day. i assume grocery shopping will be a part of the action. max is also telling me that feather on a stick will also be part of the action. i swear a 4 year old cat shouldn't play as much as he does.

alright, who did it? I know what you did and I can fix it, but I want names named!!!

is this larger? 

entry #4 

a potato salad sandwich? come on, snoop. the ad is for a chicken salad sandwich with grapes and pecans, and i bet it's pretty good.

www.bmibaby.com - the low cost airline with tiny fares | cheap flights online with bmibaby.com

god i'll be so jealous if he's going to Prague.

HDSD

shouldn't he give us more than 15 minutes notice that he's going to Europe? That doesn't seem right. Does he realize he's obligated to bring us all souveniers?

we are going to have potato salad (sans sandwich) for dinner tonight, but I'm sorry to disappoint you - it will not be Suzanne's potato salad. It will be new potatoes, egg, onion, hericots vert, cucumber, olive oil with dill and oregano and just SLIGHT mayo but only if necessary

hdsd

I say leictenstein

maybe that's a sign of the apocalypse.....

Oh yeah - sign you're getting old..

i LOVED love in the time of cholera and next i am reading david sedaris' 'naked' that i borrowed from mila and probably won't finish by the time i have to return it.

Blog poll:

Have you read Love in the time of Cholera?

Blog Poll:

What book would you like to read next?

does this make ANY sense???

The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King (Widescreen Edition) was released today; We thought you'd be interested because you bought The Lion King (Disney Special Platinum Edition).

This is from Amazon.com to me

Maddy's list

Clothing, especially that Mary Kate & Ash crap but NOTHING trashy or she'll have to take it back

Books

Swimming accessories (they're getting a pool)

hats, pocketbooks, jewelry, fingernail polish,

That's it she won't say anything else.

The Criterion Collection: Rashomon

The Criterion Collection: Rashomon

it's about fuckin time. thanks magical nimba for your dedication and hard work to our blog. i do love that we all can communicate.

now i have 40 fuckin blog polls to answer....let's see...

it may surprise you all, but i'd do john cusack. i would imagine englishmen are selfish lovers.

the US did NOT land on the moon when they say they did. give me a break, people. and who cares? i say, now that we have satellite technology all figured out, let's kill NASA. let's put NASA's budget toward education. imagine that.

i will continue to not watch ar or bb.

maddy needs to publish a more specific birthday gift list. that was a major topic of discussion when i arrived here in ct last night. tyler won't call her. i have to.

i think people should not discuss sexuality in the workplace, unless they are having sex in the closet with each other.

the hot guy worship group had even too much hugh for me. and that's a lotta hugh.

any combo of chocolate/pb cake and frosting is heavenly. i feel the opposite of roses: they were meant to be together in harmonious union.

we had pizza slut for dinner.

stitch, the movie.

am i caught up now?

notjen

This is nimda, you're on Jen....

sorry, i meant to do that.

For a bonus I want a new printer, I have to do a LOT of printing in order to maintain this blog. I say Stitch the movie - though I've never seen either.

I've received only TWO cake decoration entries!!! What's up with that!

The Dems will have gavel to gavel online convention streaming...

Press Releases - 2004 Democratic National Convention Official Site

Hopefully Isaiah the Grump will have a better day today, he slept 12 hours so there's that. He's been very obnoxious and bad tempered for a week. Maybe he's getting teeth.

Arthur is indeed an aardvark, JK and I had this discussion yesterday.

movie review: Rashoman

This is an EXCELLENT movie by Japanese director Akira Kurosawa from 1950. Of course I'm partial to Japanese movies (I think it's all that Godzilla from my childhood), but this one really stands out. The cinematography and soundtracks really make the movie even if there was no story. What can I say, you'd have to see it to believe it. However, be on notice that the 88 minutes seem like 188, but that isn't a bad thing in this case.

i put that Sean hates cucumbers and emily likes "eggs on things" on my lists, I also added that Janelle hates my famous pasta salad. My question is this.. how can you LIKE creton and HATE or even NOT LIKE anything else. It makes no sense.

please send me your dates for blogdays posting

I like RR's site, though a little too much Hugh for my tastes today. I missed whatever newspaper thing LTL is referring to.

Rebecca Romijn

Blog poll: Chocolate or peanut butter frosting on peanut butter cake? And reverse?

due to impending weather conditions, i'll be off the blog for a while.

I was happy that ET and KB broke up. I think all brits should marry people from other countries and get some new genes on that island. Welcome to the tag Lint.

Maddy's birthday

This is the deal, and don't complain because there are way too many scheduling conflicts for me to make it work for everyone. There will be the traditional bbq/cake thing at GG's on 8/6 (Friday) in the evening whenever I get my cakes all done. Then on Sunday 8/8 (weather permitting) we will be going to Blackbeards for some mini golf, arcading etc. If you can make either or both we'd love to have you of course.

...well about as much as I believe Oswald killed kennedy all by himself...

I do I do I do believe in moonwalkers....

as soon as Jen and tyler join this blog we will discontinue using the other one all together.

Of course I posted this on the wrong blog before.

Ok so, how do you like the new blog? You KNOW i need constant affirmation.

I decided not to put on any of the old JUNK that was on the other one, so you are free to request links etc to add to the blog, I'll put the old ones on too if you want them, I just thought a fresh start would be nice.

bushwacker

should we do a defeat bush fundraiser on the blog? Maybe we could raise $5 or $10???

I STILL KNOW IT JENN!!!

i hate to bug you with all these tests....

So BB5 and AR tonight???

If it says Snoop it may or may not be her because the friggin blogger won't sign me out as her.  Ugh.  Anyway this is me and I"M the one that posted all that anti-moon stuff of course.  But I'll bet she doesn't believe it either.

Who would you do! You MUST answer - you too Tyler!

Kenneth Brannaugh or John Cusak?
