After starting the hot chocolate frenzy at HHW, I haven't personally gone out as yet to actually have some. Funny, no?

Not usually my style to give an opinion and comment that will possible offend DRs.

Sugar Gliders should not be pets. It would be illegal in this country. The exotic "Pets" are cute philosposphy is the reason why there is an international illegal trade in wildlife. Gliders are born to be free. They are not domesticated. I don't approve of caged birds either. Thousands of birds and small marsupials and reptiles die each year because they smuggled internationally in the hope that a few will survive and bring in $$$$$$$. Whether the pets are bred in captivity in another country is not relevant. The original breeding stock would have been illegal.

Which raises a question: if the Gliders were to get free in the US of A, would they breed like...well, like rabbits in Austrailia?

WOW!

Days like this are hard for catching up. Particularly since I stopped to make soup.

(But not from a can, other than the chicken broth and beans. Everything else was fresh, and quite yummers.)

We are having a bona fide thunder storm (with lightning befitting a dark, dark piece of cinema) in Pasadena as I type this.

Chocolate whipped cream doesn’t appeal to me. I also prefer marshmallows in my hot chocolate. Neither are really needed if the hot chocolate is made with sweetened steamed milk. Today I had hot cocoa Bryan gave me for Christmas along with the home made (from the candy store) marshmallow. I didn’t take the time to steam the milk but it was yummy anyway.

Moi aussi, DR Jane!

I'm running out for hot choc before the storm gets here. Laters!

It's just cold here in Olympia...43° F! It's supposed to get below 32° F at night this entire week! No wonder my power bill was almost triple what it was during the summer!

Jay · « **Reply #250 on:** January 03, 2005, 06:59:07 PM »

Uh oh. The lights just flickered. Perhaps I should go up to the attic and check on The Dear Mother's gowns from her time on the operatic stage.

George · « **Reply #251 on:** January 03, 2005, 07:03:33 PM »

I just checked weather.com again and for the entire 10-Day Forcast (until next Wednesday) and at night it's not supposed to get above 32° F at all! Yikes!

Interestingly, with the thunder and lightening came no rain.

I've made my massive mug of marvelously mellow hot chocolate with a monstrous mound of marshmallows at it's brim.

I've started watching MEDIUM on NBC with Patricia Arquette. I always liked Jake Weber's work in New York, and he plays her husband. I last saw him in a play by Arthur Laurents.

That's mighty turgid prose from a man of your years, Dear Reader Joey.

How curious. Our thunderstorm brought with it yet another deluge of precipitation. I feel like I've been dropped into a Noah story.

DRJay, I have always had a special place in my heart for alliteration.

We just had a major power outage in Portland. We heard the transformer blow up from here, and it was scaaaarrry. Amazing how dark it is when nothing is on, LOL. Gabe had found one of the flashlights within nanoseconds.

I am having a blast writing this book--it has quite a few hidden clues and I am having a grand old time devising anagrams.

Hopefully not Two by Two. Danny Kaye's schtick got awfully tiresome, or so I'm told.

Well, I enjoyed MEDIUM. It was just creepy enough. Did anyone get into the HHW marriage reality show? What are the prizes to be, Dear Friend BK?

And so, to bed.

The Powerbook is now officially unpacked. The button to open it is indeed in the front - I just wasn't pushing it in far enough yesterday. It's quite lovely, this machine. The booklet is quite easy to read although, despite its being in English, I do not understand one word of its contents.

bk · « **Reply #263 on:** January 03, 2005, 08:07:35 PM »

Now the Powerbook is calling me to plug it in and fire it up. I shan't, I shan't.

bk · « **Reply #264 on:** January 03, 2005, 08:08:15 PM »

It's calling me, like that slot machine in The Twilight Zone. "Franklin... Franklin..." Of course, why its calling me Franklin is something else again.

Yes, one would think that that would be one of the prizes!

I've now moved on to movie two in box six of Edgar Wallace, and I must say that in 1965 not only did they go to color, they went to whips and school girls and Lesbians and hunchbacks. I'm not "with" the color yet - after all the moody black-and-white films, it's rather a shock.

bk · « **Reply #267 on:** January 03, 2005, 08:12:23 PM »

The haineshisway.com marriage will be the finest reality show ever done. The networks will seethe with anger because they don't have it. They will seethe, and we shall laugh and laugh, most especially the bride and groom, whomever they may be. I think dear reader Ann is a fine candidate - unfortunately, dear readers Jane and Hisaka are betrothed. Frankly, I'd marry either one of them - in fact, maybe I'll just marry everyone on the site. Wait - I think we're on to something. But is something on to us? I must ponder the imponderables whilst eating a bit of egg and ham.

BK is it alright if I make the wedding tribute video? I can get to work on it right away!

I didn't have a sweet craving either tonight. I had a barbecue craving, but I resisted the potato chips in the pantry. It's hard to be good.
