Everytime I would say, "So?" to my grandmother, she'd reply, "So, so suck your toe all the way to Mexico."

Sometimes she'd alter it and say "Tokyo" but she'd pronounce it "Toe-Kee-Yo".
:D

[Kevy Baby]

Everytime I would say, "So?" to my grandmother, she'd reply, "So, so suck your toe all the way to Mexico."So now I have this weird visual of someone hopping down the road on one leg while they suck on the big toe on their other foot.

Sometimes being right-brained is a PITA

[Moonliner]

Sometimes being right-brained is a PITA

Sharing such mental images with all your friends... Priceless.

[JWBear]

Now I have a mental image of Kevy hopping down the road on one leg while sucking on the big toe on their other foot... in a french maid outfit.

Someone please shoot me.

[BarTopDancer]

Shush you guys! You are giving Kevy ideas!

[Disneyphile]

Lots of love and healing energy to LSPEMom.

[Gemini Cricket]

Soy made me fat.

I cut dairy out of my diet. Instead of milk, I drank soy milk. My sinuses cleared (I'm allergic to milk) but I gained like 5 pounds.

Damn you, soy!

:D

[BarTopDancer]

I was supposed to go to Face Off Fest tonight but my friend flaked. And he has the 2nd ticket so I can't find someone else to go :(

[Disneyphile]

Ugh. Totally unmotivated again today.

Although, I did accomplish getting my resale permit for the business, and pick up a missing part for our pantry shelves from IKEA.

Now, I'm just finding a reason to go unpack all our shoes and organize the shoe rack. And, to finish laying flooring tile in the kitchen cabinets so we can bring all the dishes over tonight.

I know that stuff won't take long, but meh.....

[Moonliner]

I know that stuff won't take long, but meh.....

We've been in this house five years now. There are still a few unpacked boxes from the last move hiding here and there...

[Morrigoon]

I hate pimples in inconvenient (read: painful) places. Especially when that place is my ear.

[Snowflake]

Alrightie! I'm signing off now and off to Mariachiland. See you sometime on the 27th!:cheers:

Damn you, soy!It's good your sinuses cleared up. Soy milk can have a lot of sugar in it. That might be part of the problem. What kind do you drink?

[Not Afraid]

Hugs to Heidi and prayers for Mom.

Tomorrow, I will make tombstones. I'm so crafty!

[Disneyphile]

Are they real tombstones?

[Not Afraid]

Real - as in made out of stone or "real - as in for real "people"?

They will be made out of insulation board using a dremell tool and spray paint. The subjects of the tombstone are fake "dearly departed" pets.

If I get good at this, it might become better carthesis than a voodoo doll. ;)

[BarTopDancer]

I made brownies.

[blueerica]

I made a glass of water.

[BarTopDancer]

That's impressive BE! How did you combine the hydrogen and oxygen molecules?

[Not Afraid]

Next, she'll be making ice!

[blueerica]

That would be cool to have the power to freeze things at will. Don'tcha think?

[Not Afraid]

Two days ago, Aleister discovered that the bunny's alfalfa pellets are tasty. Now, he's pawing at the bathroom door trying to get in because I just gave Buns some dinner. :rolleyes:

[Disneyphile]

If I get good at this, it might become better carthesis than a voodoo doll. ;)In that case, I'd like to pre-order at least three of them please. ;)

I've decided that covering cabinet shelves is damn tiring. Ken just brought a load of dishes that I need to unpack, but have to finish covering the shelves first. So, I sent him out to pick up dinner.

I am SO looking forward to being moved in this weekend, because I'm dying for some homecooked food!

[Kevy Baby]

Have I mentioned that I will be glad when open enrollment season is over?

[Betty]

It's Friday... but an early day so I can leave early for parent teacher child conference. (yes- the kiddo is included and actually leads the conference!) and then woo-hoo: off roading to devil's hole tomorrow. HOpe we don't get stuck... or if we do, we can get right out of it with the new jack. :)

*sigh* want a nap

I don't know what I want to "be" for Halloween- nothing inspires me

Gonna be at Disneyland in 2 weeks......woo

[Prudence]

I have done my terrifying deed for the week.

Apparently it's SOP for people with an out-of-town interview to call other chambers in the area to see if they can get what is called a "leveraging" interview. Usually nothing comes of this, but everyone does it, and if you don't you're a goober. I guess the thinking is that perhaps Judge X might have initially said "oh, no point in interviewing the chick from Seattle since she's so far away", but upon hearing I'll be in the area already might say "oh, well let's give her a looksee." Since they get hundreds of applications for each position, anything to get yourself out of the vast pile and actually considered is supposed to be advantageous.

I got 4 "already filled" (one very snotty - if it bugs you that much to have people call, maybe update your listing that says the position is open, m'kay?), 2 "we don't start reviewing until after the first of the year" (which is usually a lie, but whatever), 1 "I have no idea; I'll ask and call you back", and 2 "we'll pull your resume and take a look". So, I guess that's something.

Probably nothing will come of it, but the important part is that I did it. Not many people know that I actually have a fairly substantial phone phobia. Obviously I am able to make phone calls, and do quite often, but the more intimidating the call, the harder it is for me and the more I panic. This was pretty damn high on the intimidation scale. But I made the calls. Yay me.

[Capt Jack]

good deal P. yeah, I know a lot of folks hate making calls of that nature. its akin to public speaking with some people I know.

way to face (and conquer) your fears
:snap:

[Gemini Cricket]

Yay, Prudence!
:)

[Disneyphile]

Sounds like you did well, Pru! At least that ice is broken. :)

[katiesue]

Yay Pru!!

I have the same thing with phones. And it's my job - ugh.

[Prudence]

Whee! My reward is that my lasted Olszewski miniatures just arrived. Added to the existing collection of Castle, Teacups, and Jungle Cruise are:

Train Station
Central Plaza (I thought they were all out ages ago!)
and
1974 Marquee

Yay! Town Square is allegedly being re-released next month, so I'll have to get that and have both ends of Main Street.

Still missing all the other Main Street buildings. If anyone happens to be going to Company D and is willing to assist me with that (with reimbursement, of course), they should let me know. There could be a pair of handknit socks in it for you.

Or a squid hat.

[BarTopDancer]

At least that ice is broken. :)

Better let Erica know, so she can fix it.

Good job P!

[Morrigoon]

One of the more annoying things about leaving work sick for my stomach problem is that once it's over, I feel fine. Then I feel guilty about not being at work.

[Disneyphile]

One of the more annoying things about leaving work sick for my stomach problem is that once it's over, I feel fine. Then I feel guilty about not being at work.So that's why you didn't get my emails. ;)

Wanna come over and visit? :D (I promise to not make you do anything other than keep me company while I put stuff away.) (Ok, wait. Scratch that, I lied. I would also like your opinion on my animated logo, which I think is now finished. :D)

[Morrigoon]

Hehe... funny my seeing this after getting off the phone with you.

[Morrigoon]

So I channeled my energies towards working a bit more on clearing my kitchen (my god... I can see the floor!)

In the process, hauled a rubbermaid tub up to the red room (our spare/computer/junk room) and opened it up. Among other things, I found photos from my foreign exchange in England, and pictures of the Country Bear Jamboree. :)

[Gemini Cricket]

I have boxes everywhere in my apt. Ralphie has been sending me books, DVDs and CDs that I had in storage in Boston. I need to find places to stash everything...
:)

[Prudence]

I put the suitcases neatly away again - except for the laptop carry-on I'll need for the WV trip. :D

Of course, now the bed is covered with the stuff that was still in the suitcases, but at least it's some progress.

[Morrigoon]

I need to do more work on the kitchen.

But I also need to shower and get dressed for the show tonight.

Decisions, decisions.... :evil:

[Disneyphile]

Well, I've gotten work-related stuff done today. And, Ken gets off work in 10 minutes, expecting to pick up the empty boxes from me... oops. :blush:

I better get back to unpacking.

[Mousey Girl]

I work with a true blond. Tonight I almost feel bad for her. She was trying to get a question answered by our warehouse supervisor. He kept dodging her. She grew frustrated and called him a Dick in front of his petty, little assistant. PLA told him what she had said and he got in her face about it. Our Elder owner came in and saw the aftermath and asked her what was wrong. So she told him, in great detail. She was starting to feel better when someone else in the showroom asked her if she told Elder Owner what she had called the warehouse supervisor. She replied that she had indeed told EO what she had said.

She is now wondering if she will still have a job on Monday. Guess what the EO's name is...

[Not Afraid]

I'm covered in black paint, I spent the day in the sun and now I have a sore throat. Are these things related in some way?

[JWBear]

I'm covered in black paint...

I'm not sure I want to know....

[Kevy Baby]

Guess what the EO's name is...Bob?

[Mousey Girl]

Nope, not Neil either.

[Prudence]

Once again, I'm here on a Friday night, awake and bored. Why are none of you entertaining me? Hmmm? You're all cut to half rations. :argghh:

[Disneyphile]

Ok, I think our food multiplied itself also. The pantry came over in three very large boxes. :eek: Looks like we'll be having cans of soup and pasta for the next few weeks. Heh.

We still need to get back to the old place tonight and clear everything off the furniture for the movers in the morning. And, it's already 12:30am. Good thing that Starbucks is right down the block, because I'm gonna need it in the morning!

[Gemini Cricket]

Go Sox!
:)

[Not Afraid]

Go Sox!
:)

I just had a vision of Clinton's cat competing in arace.

[JWBear]

Where's Arace?

[RStar]

Bob?

Nope, not Neil either.

Wow.

I'm Bob, and I work with Neil in the lab! :eek:

[Morrigoon]

I used to have a lab... he was a good dog.

[Kevy Baby]

Well, I guess it is time to call it a day and go home.

[BarTopDancer]

Well, I guess it is time to call it a day and go home.

I really hope you got more done at work then I did.

It's really sad when you get more done at home in 10 minutes then you did all day. Not that this happened to me today or anything...

[Morrigoon]

I hardly recognize my kitchen...

Mommygoon and I really did a number on it. We may *even* be able to paint it!

[Not Afraid]

I can't stop sneezing.

[Gemini Cricket]

I can't stop sneezing.
Make sure to close your eyes when you sneeze or your eyes will pop out.

[Ghoulish Delight]

So, I'm completely lost at work. 200 emails, new program starting, 3 days to complete some other program, I don't remember where I left anything, building lost power yesterday so my whole setup is powered down. Aaaargh! Two weeks is a long fvcking time.

ouch, the vacation hangover.

[Disneyphile]

Ok. The cats and bunny have yet to "wipe out" on the hardwood floor. But, I just did. :rolleyes:

I was leaning over to plug something in, and my foot went out from under me, twisting my leg behind me at the hip. I think I'm a tad sprained and bruised. So much for getting much done in the next couple days. :rolleyes:

[Nephythys]

Go Sox!

Go Rockies!

[Prudence]

Less than a week until the "big" interview.

I'm trying not to panic.




It's not really working.

[Gemini Cricket]

Go Rockies!

Somebody please tell Matt Lauer (http://video.msn.com/?mkt=en-us&brand=msnbc&tab=m5&rf=http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21431682/&fg=&from=00&vid=57a3fdbc-ae97-4a00-b076-df6ec3608976&playlist=videoByTag:mk:us:vs:0:tag:News_Editors%20 Picks:ns:MSNVideo_Top_Cat:ps:10:sd:-1:ind:1:ff:8A)to shut up.

My god, why bother interviewing someone if you're going to put words in their mouth, tell the story for them, and cut them off just when they start adding something to the story?

[Gemini Cricket]

What a silly picture for this news article (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7057060.stm).

:D

[Gemini Cricket]

Good gosh.
The two admin assists in my office are debating right now if Marie Osmond is on drugs. Sheesh. The woman fainted. That immediately means she's on drugs?
We know nothing yet. (And some of us don't really care. Except that she fell like a rock. Not dramatic like in the movies...)
Sheesh, I tell ya, sheesh.
:rolleyes:

[Kevy Baby]

Go Sox!

Go Rockies!Go Dodgers!

Oh, wait...

[Gemini Cricket]

What Kevy and Nephy don't seem to realize is that the Rockies and the Dodgers do not have baseball caps with my first initial on it. Therefore, both teams are irrelevant.
B is for Brad.

Go the Distance I say!!! Seven games is what I want.





Spoken on behalf of the program sellers, beer peddlers, ticket takes, and all the other "little folk" who make buko bucks on a series game.

I'm not so sure I should be wearing my contacts today.

[Gemini Cricket]

GD is right. The Brooklyn Cyclones baseball team has a "B" on their hats, too. How exciting.

Go Dodgers!

GO DUCKS!

[Morrigoon]

Agreed. Go Ducks! But not the ones from Oregon.

[Gemini Cricket]

I sooo don't want to be at work today.
I guess one could tell that by how much I'm posting here today.
Everything that I need to schedule has been scheduled and now I'm just waiting for things to get done.
Grrr....
And, I'm not the only one who feels this way today.
I passed two desks and both people were surfing the net.

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

I'm craving a 2-week vacation. It's been about a year since I've had 5 days off in row. I've got a proposal to revise and production schedules to complete, but what I really want to do is hit the batting cages. Bah!

[LSPoorEeyorick]

I know that I can hardly complain, since I had a month off (a stressful month, but off nonetheless.) Excepting the Columbus day holiday, I haven't taken a day off since I got back and I'm also jonesing - just for one.

[libraryvixen]

I took a short vacation, but I'm not sad about wanting to take more!

[alphabassettgrrl]

I have a new appreciation for low-budget television production.
...
I'm becoming increasingly convinced that big budgets and technology diminish the motivation to create good content (as evidenced by the decline of video game playability).

I've noticed it with movies.

Could use more prayers for my mom - her infection still isn't healing after a month of antibiotics, and now her platelets have dropped to ~8. It's about the lowest they've ever been and she's been hospitalized at 15. But she won't go to the hospital, she says.

Hugs and healing to you and your mom. Hang in there.

Some of us dread ever having to move again because we know how much crap we have.

Gah. Count me in that crowd. When we moved every couple of years (or more often) it was easier because everything got thrown out at intervals. We've been here for almost 10 years now and I'm very afraid.

I have done my terrifying deed for the week.

Yay for you!! Boo to the snobby people.

Ok. The cats and bunny have yet to "wipe out" on the hardwood floor. But, I just did. :rolleyes:

Ouch! I hope the damage is low.

[katiesue]

I'm on vacation. Well sort of.

[Disneyphile]

I'm on vacation. Well sort of.Just keep some s'mores ingredients nearby, and it'll count. ;)

[Kevy Baby]

It is 99 degrees in Costa Mesa right now. I have never seen it that hot here!

(FWIW: I am not sure where in Costa Mesa it is reading that temperature - I am getting that info from the weather widget in Windows Vista)

[Disneyphile]

It's about 90 here in Garden Grove. :(

[blueerica]

1 - Damn it, this other stupid group put together t-shirts for their presentation! I hate being group-jealous!

2 - I finished my storyboard, YAY!

3 - I am studying in the event of a pop quiz. Luckily, the pop quizzes don't go against my grade, BUT, I could use all the help I can get.

4 - I keep getting emails about amazing opportunities to go to fantastic vacation destinations like Hawaii and South Beach.

5 - I really want to go.

6 - But I won't.

7 - I think my free-time tonight will be spent being sacked out on my bed watching the tube.

[Disneyphile]

Woooo! Our new place has passed the "heat test". It's currently 95 degrees outside, and our place is nice and cool with only two fans and the little in-wall AC. Our old place would have been about 85 degrees or more.

We probably could even get by without the AC with the windows open, but I'm keeping those closed due to smoke and ash right now.

[JWBear]

All the smoke in the air is finally getting to me. I left work early so I could sit in our office with the air purifier going.

But, when I tried to boot-up my desktop PC, it wouldn't boot! Going back to the last couple restore points didn't help. So now I'm restoring the operating system. Oh joy....

While the fires are certainly bad, at least we don't have monkeys (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7055625.stm).

Death by monkeys.....

[Not Afraid]

It's almost as good a decapitation!

[Gemini Cricket]

This (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7087194/) chimp attack was really gruesome. (Not for the squeamish...)

[Kevy Baby]

While the fires are certainly bad, at least we don't have monkeys (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7055625.stm).A monkey killing a politician? You would think that there would be some sort of professional courtesy.

[Morrigoon]

Boy, I thought monkeys would be kinder to lesser beings.

On another furry note, I have a new kitten :) His name is Cosmo.

Here he is, he's hard to get to keep still, but here's his first non-blurry photos. He's 15 weeks old, born on July 11 (we contemplated naming him Slurpee or Big Gulp for 7/11 :cool: ) He's a manx, with just a little nubbin of a tail. He has kinda long legs for his size, but that may be a growth spurt happening. He's a lovable little thing, likes to sit with me and sleep.

[BarTopDancer]

KITTY!

Speaking of which- WHERE can I find that nummy pot roast we had a few weeks back??? I went to Costco and scrounged and found nothing!:p

In other news, I'm still having an allergic reaction to the flue shot I got... this itchy skin is really starting to drive me nuts!!! I need to get back on the Benadryl...

To echo:

KITTY!!! He's adorable! :)

[barfownz]

I wasn't scedualed today, but work called and said they want me from 6-9:30.

Nothing to do today + needs for money = work.

[Morrigoon]

Our phones and internet keep blipping out due to power issues. Driving me nuts. Plus I don't bloody feel like working, so I've gotten nothing done all day, but my websurfing record is probably a mile long. Terrible.

I have so much smaller a pool of agents to recruit from now, they're dropping like flies! People who did 5 million in gross sales last year, not even making the 3 million cutoff mark for me to recruit them.

[BarTopDancer]

Our phones and internet keep blipping out due to power issues. Driving me nuts.

Your IT dept should be making sure this stuff is on battery back-up. That's one of the reasons I couldn't leave. Stuff kept blipping because our battery back-ups weren't working as they should. Tell them to check the battery back up of their switch.

[/poor taste]

No, that was freaking hilarious.

Actually, when you think about it, for homeowners in financial trouble who have been unable to sell their homes, this (smoke) cloud may have a silver lining.

Also going to be good for unsuccessful sellers whose homes didn't burn, but who are willing to lease out their homes to wait out the market - many insurance settlements include the costs of renting an equivalent property.

[Morrigoon]

Since you sell homes...is the market not doing so good this time of the moth? I hear it is difficult to sell homes right now.

Month? Feh, try YEAR. This YEAR has been dead, sales wise. Dead dead dead and dead. D-e-d dead.

[Scrooge McSam]

I FINALLY FOUND IT!

Who knew a small house was so hard to find?

2 bedrooms, 1 bath on pier and beam (not too many of those left), hardwood floors, screened back porch, huge, check that HUGE back yard, all of it completely surrounded by woods at the very end of a cul de sac. It looks like the 30's back there, I swear. Due to the terrain, there will be no additional development anywhere around it.

You can drop a ball bearing on any floor in the place and it's like dropping a cue ball on a solid table. She ain't rolling.

Did I mention it has a large tulip poplar tree on the front lawn, along with an OLD dogwood tree that's been struck by lightning?

Yes, it has to be rewired. Yes, it needs central air and heat. Yes, the plumbing and the insulation and the drywall repair and floor refinishing and shed demolition and the 2 big trees that have to come down yes yes yes YES!

Closing is scheduled for next Friday. I rule.

And my Mother will be happy there. She'll have a garden again. I can't wait to see what she does with it. She'll be less than a mile away, so it will be easy to check in on her (she's 70). The place is on my drive home from work. It doesn't get any better.

But as in everything, all is not roses. She likes it just the way it is. I, however, can see the wisdom, nay necessity, of moving one wall and opening a doorway to a new deck out back where she could entertain.

I'll probably let her win this one. For a while.

[Not Afraid]

With your description, Sam, I'm ready to move! It sounds great!

I have Abe Lincoln whispering in my ear....."You must BREATH!".With Lincoln talking to both you and Mr. Vigoda ("You must LIVE") I wonder what he's going to say to €.

[Not Afraid]

Mayne I'll try Benedryl tonight, because Claratin D, TheraFlu and DayQuil haven't worked (and this is on top of Astelin and Flonase).

[Gemini Cricket]

Duly noted- though my ROCKIES are gonna kick the heels off those Sox- B or no B ;)
Hmm. I forget... what was the score tonight?
:D

It could be your location (http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-smoke24oct24,0,1590111.story?track=rss). Luckily things are getting better every day.

I was going to go to San Onofre today, but then I learned about the road closures, so I went to my office in Irwindale - where we had a power outage. I took it as a sign and went home.
Hrmm, the power company losing power can't be a good sign.

Hmmm, Benedryl and a night with the air purifier seemed to have a positive effect - once I stopped coughing up lungs and went to sleep. However, I'm going to be out and about quite a bit today. I suspect more general body badness will be in order. I was really having difficulty breathing at one point last night. Sort of scary.

[JWBear]

Please try and stay in, Lisa. Your lungs are your friends!

[Disneyphile]

I opened the door to set something outside this morning and nearly gagged.

Looks like another day with the little air conditioner and Quadra. I feel NA's pain. :(

[RStar]

While the lack of Santa Ana winds is good for the fires, the smoke is hanging over us instead of blowing out to sea. I just wish it would rain....

[Disneyphile]

The smoke is now coming in through our stove vent. Bleh!

QUICK!!!! Get a pork roast in the stove and tape it shut

[Ghoulish Delight]

QUICK!!!! Get a pork roast in the stove and tape it shut
I want no part of any meat flavored by anything in Southern California air.

[Disneyphile]

MmMMmM. Smoked pork roast, cooked by the essence of flaming tragedy.

[blueerica]

I'm hungry, is it ready to be eaten, DP?

[blueerica]

Damn it, that's what I get for not going back a page.. there is no pork roast, is there? :(

[DreadPirateRoberts]

Damn it, that's what I get for not going back a page.. there is no pork roast, is there? :(

don't go back a page on the Santa thread, either. :D

[BarTopDancer]

Sushi and wine.

Chipotle and Gypsy.

Katella Deli.

Yummy!

[JWBear]

I'm home again. 3 hours at work and I was coughing up my lungs. I'm safely back with my air purifiers.

[Disneyphile]

Dammit. Now I'm hungry, and only have the remnants of last night's corned beef dinner to satisfy me.

[Kevy Baby]

Katella Deli.Once every three months, I have to visit a Dr. on Katella about a half mile east of the Katella Deli. I always schedule my appointment (which lasts 15 minutes) around lunch time so that I can go to KD afterwards.

Yesterday, I too much to do and had to eat on the run. It was very sad driving past KD yesterday :(

Next appointment: January 23, 2008

[Moonliner]

Damn it, that's what I get for not going back a page.. there is no pork roast, is there? :(

Technically a smoked pork roast would be a Ham, but no I do not think there is really a ham. Errr, at least I hope there is not really a ham.

[Disneyphile]

No, I'm not sporting a ham in my oven, thankyouverymuch.

I think we should schedule a dinner meet or a late lunch meet there and then all head up the road to Disneyland!

[JWBear]

Ham? Isn't that Scaeagle's department?

[Disneyphile]

I've never been to Katella Deli. I've always driven past it on my way to Polly's.

Sounds like we'll have to stop there next time instead. Is it comparable to Canter's?

[BarTopDancer]

If Canter's is the one in CM I'd have to say better. I've been going to KD long before I was old enough to eat there. And we went to Canter's once. And have never been back.

But I hate building stuff up, so we'll have to go and you can form your own opinion :)

[blueerica]

OK - Now I want Katella. Bad.

[Kevy Baby]

Honestly, KD is good, but it is not one of those "OMG, you MUST go there or your life is just not complete" places.

Great for comfort food!

[Kevy Baby]

OK - Now I want Katella. Bad.Is that some sort of new euphemism?

[blueerica]

Is that some sort of new euphemism?

It could be...

[Moonliner]

What's the restaurant in downtown LA that's famous for the $0.05 coffee?

Man that was horrid. <-- The food not the coffee.

Now, the pantry on the other hand.... That's quality stuff.

[BarTopDancer]

OK - Now I want Katella. Bad.

Me too.

Caturday!

[Capt Jack]

nickle coffee? that puts a knot in my belly just thinking about it.

blech

[Kevy Baby]

What's the restaurant in downtown LA that's famous for the $0.05 coffee?

Man that was horrid. <-- The food not the coffee.Um, I believe you are thinking of The Original Pantry (http://losangeles.citysearch.com/profile/11301282) (owned [in part I believe] by the former LA mayor, Richard Riordan). Although I think their coffee is $0.10, so maybe you are thinking of a different place

And the food ain't bad. Hence the perpetual line to get in.

Now, the pantry on the other hand.... That's quality stuff.See, now I am confused.

[Kevy Baby]

One more thing on Katella Deli: they have a Monte Cristo. One of only two places outside of Disneyland that I have seen them (and the other one is closed).

[Disneyphile]

Canter's is on Fairfax, just up the road from the Grove/Farmer's Market in Hollywood. They've been there for decades, serving many movie stars and other Hollywood folks. They have a really extensive menu, and awesome matzo ball soup.

[Moonliner]

See, now I am confused.

Then my work here is done....

The Origional Pantry - Good. A favorite childhood memory in fact. Going to the pantry for breakfast at like 5:00am in the morning with my dad on the way into work with him....

Philippe The Original Restaurant (http://www.philippes.com/) - Thanks to a bit of googling, that's the evil one I was talking about.

[Ponine]

The Ashley Tisdale thread, and having to say the HS musical kids were clean, reminded me... on NOT clean kids...

The La Jolla Playhouse has made Cry Baby into a musical.
I need to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blueerica]

One more thing on Katella Deli: they have a Monte Cristo. One of only two places outside of Disneyland that I have seen them (and the other one is closed).

Oddly enough, is one of the other places Westminster Cafe. If memory serves me well, WC's was actually pretty good, for it being such a hole in the wall place. (WC is off Westminster, between Springdale and Edwards)

[Kevy Baby]

Philippe The Original Restaurant (http://www.philippes.com/) - Thanks to a bit of googling, that's the evil one I was talking about.Hmm... I had always heard that Phillippe's was at least decent, though many say a bit over-hyped. There are one of the two places in LA that claim to have invented the French Dip Sandwich (though most people give the credit to Phillipe's).

[innerSpaceman]

OMG - the BEST Freaking Matzo Ball Soup in History.

I mean, Jazz Kitchen soups have NOTHING on it.


I can give no higher soup praise!




When are we having the Katella Deli meet (so I can have some Katella Deli meat)? I've been hearing about this place for ages. When are we going??

[Disneyphile]

How about Saturday night? Or tonight? I'm mentally hungry.

Now, for some unknown reason I am craving their fried mushrooms. I wonder if whats-his-face still hangs out there.

That was a lifetime ago!!!!

Who wants in?

I sure the place has it's defender's. My beef is that they use shredded rather than sliced brisket and provide NO DIP. They spoon a bit of sauce on and that's it. In fact they refuse customer requests for a side of dip.

[Kevy Baby]

Oddly enough, is one of the other places Westminster Cafe. If memory serves me well, WC's was actually pretty good, for it being such a hole in the wall place. (WC is off Westminster, between Springdale and Edwards)No. It was a place in Fullerton - SW corner of Rosecrans and Euclid. I don't recall the name of the place, but it has been closed for years.

[Kevy Baby]

That's what I've been trying to say all along! Saturday night!

Who wants in?I need to confirm with Susan, but sounds good to me. It has been a while since I have met up with many of you!

When are we going for Matzo Ball soup, Mr. Cricket? I've been craving it for like ever.

[innerSpaceman]

I need to confirm with Susan, but sounds good to me. It has been a while since I have met up with many of you!

No, no, no, no ... please not this Saturday night.


It's Halloween Party weekend ... and I've got two parties to go to.



You can't do the Katella Deli Meeat that I suggested without ME! ;)




(what about Sunday??)

[LSPoorEeyorick]

That's what LoT is doing for Halloween this year?

Deli?

For SHAME.

[Disneyphile]

Sunday's good. :D

[Gemini Cricket]

When are we going for Matzo Ball soup, Mr. Cricket? I've been craving it for like ever.
Let's do it.
Even though I just ate, I'm craving it right now. :)

[blueerica]

This Sunday is the worst day for me - more than most Sundays, which are generally pretty bad.

[Morrigoon]

My family's still going to be in town Saturday, so I'm not sure that I'll be able to make it. What've you guys got against Sunday night?

[blueerica]

Bring your family!

As for me, I work all morning, then I head to Long Beach for a meeting on the Honda Competition I'm participating in. Then, I head directly to Costa Mesa for a "holiday" meeting for Peet's. Then I crash so I can wake up in time to open my store at 5AM.

That's what's wrong with this Sunday, at least for me.

[BarTopDancer]

No, no, no, no ... please not this Saturday night.

I don't think anything. Got any ideas? (Besides a party at NMs house)?

[Morrigoon]

Need some of these for Christmas cards, do I.

[BarTopDancer]

OK, so those who can, Saturday night at Katella. It isn't going anywhere, we can go again soon. Those who can't, we'll see you soon.

And there may be a potential gathering after. Details maybe to come.

[blueerica]

I'm not sure if I can do more than one, sadly. I will have to remain on "will see" on whether if I can do one or the other or both.

[innerSpaceman]

Um, for those who can, SUNDAY night at Katella.


I read two parties (consisting of four people) say they can't go on Saturday, and one person say they can't go on Sunday.



Pfft, that person was Erica ... and she's abandoning us for Utah. Like she even counts. :p

[blueerica]

Well, BTD and I were talking earlier in the thread, albeit briefly (we kept mostly to IMs), before the idea grew to other people, about going to Katella on Sat. It's still a maybe, especially if there might be a party. My time is stretched to an absolute max, so I'll just have to see, or cave in and do both, only to have further stress this upcoming week.

I'm almost thinking Saturday is just as bad around dinner time and it might be easier to go somewhere, such as a party, at night.

[Disneyphile]

We might be able to make something late Saturday night, depending on when we get back from the Valley.

We'll happily meet the Sunday night group at Katella.

[JWBear]

Can't do Saturday, but Sunday is a definite possibility.

[BarTopDancer]

Party at NMs on Saturday. Linner at Katella on Sunday.

[Disneyphile]

Sounds fun! :D

[Kevy Baby]

I am so completely and totally incapable of focusing at work right now. I honesty have done nothing productive in the past hour.

Sooooo, one trip to the Doctors later and 25 minutes on a breathing treatment machine and I feel almost human. Now, how am i going to actually work it so that I stay inside for the next 3 days.

[Snowflake]

hey, how is everyone? Hope everyone is okay and not in fire danger.

checking in from mexico. I've been sick, go figure, eating street food here indumpy chapala and I'm fine, I go to a nice (swanky) B&B inGuadalajara, have a home cooked meal and I'm in bed sick and with a fever. viva la mexico! Otherwise all is well and having a good time now that it's almost time to go home!

Home on saturday night. hope all the LoTizens are doing good. I will have to read the 1700+ messages when Iget home

[Kevy Baby]

Ah; Montezuma's revenge.

[Moonliner]

I will have to read the 1700+ messages when Iget home

Yeah, some of those threads grew like wildfire.

Bottom line, if I did not miss anything, a couple of way too close calls, some respiratory issues, at least one clueless management team, a lot of "damn this stuff smells" and "I hate ash" comments. Oh and just a few really bad puns.

[Morrigoon]

That, plus sticking things in cat butts, and you've pretty much got it.

[Kevy Baby]

I am actually leaving work at 5:00 ish. In the last two years, I haven't left this early since the time I was supposed to get off at noon.

[Morrigoon]

Disneyland?

[Snowflake]

That, plus sticking things in cat butts, and you've pretty much got it.

okay, status quo then:D

[Snowflake]

Ah; Montezuma's revenge.

yes, it was fun, too. can hardly wait to get my revenge....

so I did not see as much of Guadalajara as originally planned.

tomorrow some xmas shopping in aijijic and hearing a gig in a cool bar, then Saturday, home

I do miss my kitty.

[katiesue]

Hope you feel better Snowflake!

[alphabassettgrrl]

There's a little place up in Ventura that has a Monte Cristo sandwich: Pirate's Grub n Grog. Though inside, it's more of a sports bar than anything else. Decent food though.

I tried to bike today: the air looked decent, and didn't smell much of smoke at all. I rode with Shawn to work and then came back home, 5 miles or so. Within 20 minutes my chest was hurting so I decided I couldn't bike to the college. Sadly that means riding the bus. :: sigh::

Girl's gotta try, right? NA, I hope your breathing stays good.

[Kevy Baby]

Disneyland?A) Expired pass (and I don't feel like doing renewal tonight)
B) Barely had the energy to drive home

After I get caught up on the 19 (and counting) new messages, I am off to park my lazy kiester in front of the idiot box.

[CoasterMatt]

Well, without the DH, Ortiz might not play. On the other hand, the way the Rockies have been hitting, I think Ortiz should pitch.

[Kevy Baby]

Before the hassle even starts may I remind everyone that the Sox were down 3-1 in their last series and they won- it is entirely possible that the Rockies can come back and win this thing.And St. Louis was down 2 games to none in 2004 before they went on to be swept.

Kind of a rocky start for Colorado, eh Nephy?
But we'll see what happens.
You never know.

[Moonliner]

The Denver forecast for Saturday shows temps in the mid 40's during game time. I will be interesting to see what effect that has on pitching.

[Kevy Baby]

C'mon people: POST. I need a diversion.
