Well, you've read the notes, the notes were august, and now it is time for you to post until the august August cows come home.

DRLaura was kind enough as usual to spend hours with me doing crummy errands (county agencies, many waiting rooms.) We got the giggles because we were so weary of it all. Despite her telling me to NOT overdo it on my leg (also as usual), I typically overdid it on my leg, and it was/is quite sore. So, here, on this public forum, I am giving her full permission to bitchslap me. There hasn't been enough bitchslapping around here for some time anyway.

Goodness gracious, DR Ben - you're on earlier than usual!!

Yes, Sing, we are starting to load up the car for the trip to Cheese Land - I mean Wisconsin. Since there is a lull in the loading I decided to check in and catch up.

Lull in the Loading, that's the title of my next novel.

It's that new board game, a Monopoly variant, where the idea is to buy up as many film critics as you can. Park Place and Boardwalk are Roger Ebert and Pauline Kael.

TOD:

DVD - lately I've been watching EUReKA, the first season (we haven't snagged our copy of the second season yet) and the Two Fat Ladies set. I'd forgotten how well done TFL was - between PBS and the Food Network, it was re-run endlessly, which kind of dulled the palate for the show.

The season finale of Doctor Who is being broadcast on SciFi tonight. If you're a fan, don't forget that it starts a half-hour early, due to the number of former regulars/recurring characters making appearances. With the exception of Penelope Wilton, of course - she only got to be in the previous episode, since the Daleks knew who she was.

Anthony left at 6:10am, earlier than he planned. He wanted to be on the road by 6:30 so he's ahead of himself. He should be in Chicago some time around early evening if the weather and traffic are good. MapQuest says it's a 13 hour trip. We shall see when he calls.

The cell phone is charged and turned on and he said he will call when he gets to Chicago and may call some other time during the day to make sure the phone works.

Loading the car was simple and quick and parting was easy. I'll see him in a month and he's got work to do for the next two weeks. He was very happy to have the laptop and the cell phone, in spite of his trash talk about them.

Ginny and JR, I told him to wave when he gets into Ohio and Indiana. Maybe you'll feel a breeze at some point. If so, it's him waving. Cilla, he'll wave when he gets to Wisconsin, which is about as close to Iowa as he'll get.

Nothing on the horizon this weekend. I'll putter around the apartment, tape one of the Britcoms which has been moved from a sensible 10pm time slot to an 11:30 time slot. I'm an old man, I can't stay up that late.

Maybe I'll actually go to a movie and see Wall-E.

I also have a play date with a friend's dog. He travels for business frequently and when he does, Homer goes to a kennel. I'm on the list as a walker and playmate so I'll go to the kennel (if it doesn't rain tomorrow and Sunday) and take Homer out for playtime.

Just as I was leaving for work, the home computer imploded. At this point, it is not certain whether it can be revived. It's all backed up and restorable, but I don't have the cash on hand to replace it at the moment. At least we still have the laptop. But not the best news to start out the day!

DR SINGDAW - call the Geek Squad.

Yes, DR MBARNUM has several hours of entertainment to enjoy this weekend, all in English.....with no subtitles. Although I am not sure that enjoy applies to all of the DVD's...........

Jrand74 · « **Reply #19 on:** August 01, 2008, 05:02:48 AM »

Rehearsal was fine....I decided to be the bigger person, which is easy at this weight.

Today is a work day....oh well....so I don't have to go to Hollywoodland.

In Arnold's absence, with the word of the day being PANOPLY, the first thought for the song of the day was "My White Knight."

But since the "My White Knight" video refused to link after three tries, how about Scandal with "The Warrior" as an alternative

Now that's a panoply!

I hope everyone is ready for the dramatic events that will be triggered by this morning's solar eclipse!

bk · « **Reply #24 on:** August 01, 2008, 05:21:10 AM »

I gotta tell you.

FJL · « **Reply #25 on:** August 01, 2008, 05:21:30 AM »

The solar eclipse must be responsible for that "My White Knight" video refusing to link

Or would that be a solo eclipse?

Five in the morning and I cannot sleep.

Too much drama going on in Ye Olde Cranium.

FJL · « **Reply #28 on:** August 01, 2008, 05:27:34 AM »

No-drama vibes to BK

FJL · « **Reply #29 on:** August 01, 2008, 05:30:13 AM »

Shooting down the walls of drama, bang bang
I am the warrior

(almost a Scandal reference; that's a fine mental image)
