Soooo....

[Cadaverous Pallor]

By the way, if anyone's interested, today on Woot.com, they are offering a Roomba for $149 + $5 shipping.:eek: Hard to resist...

[wolfy999]

Off to Woot.com!

[wolfy999]

Ok...visited the site. Refurbished and doesn't have a docking station, I'll wait.

[Strangler Lewis]

I wonder if they've ever made a Wienermobile vibrator...

After much hesitation, I bravely went to the site, which I never heard of. Now I also now what a Roomba is. I swear that I thought this entire exchange was about vibrators.

[wolfy999]

:rolleyes:

[Disneyphile]

:eek: Hard to resist...After having one for a week, I regret not getting one sooner. It really sucks! :snap:

[Sohrshah]

I just chopped off nearly ALL my hair into chunky spikes and dyed it intense red.

now I feel a bit better!

No no no.

Speaking of Woot

TODAY THERE IS A WOOT OFF!!! :)

[Kevy Baby]

After having one for a week, I regret not getting one sooner. It really sucks! :snap:That's good, because if it didn't, that would suck.

[Snowflake]

Oh My! Sorshah! How cute you look with the new do! :snap:

[Disneyphile]

Well, our garage organization has begun! We got two large shelving units from Costco last night, which Ken will be building this weekend or next. We figure we'll need 4 more sets, but they are large enough to hold everything in the garage and in our off-site storage unit, so we can save the monthly storage fee. :)

[Gemini Cricket]

Nice do, S!

Fish can be so mean.
The fish in my fish tank decided to pick on one fish. A cory cat. They decided to tear off and eat all of his fins and now he's just a stump. Gosh, it's tough out there in the animal kingdom.

[BarTopDancer]

Poor fishie :(

Put the poor thing out of its misery.

[Gemini Cricket]

Yeah, I had to do it. It was dying.
Fish be mean.

[BarTopDancer]

No like fish. Creepy and they are mean.

[BDBopper]

Decisions Decesions!

I made an observation yesterday. It does not make any sense whatsoever but it is cheaper to fly in to Orange County from Louisville, KY than it is to fly in from Atlanta! Well one of my best friends lives in Lousiville and is as big a Disney fan as I am. So yesterday we are having a confab and he said he'd like to tag along! I'm cool with that cause it is always cool to have a traveling companion...especially for one who faces some unique challenges like I do. What I would do is when I go...I'd hop a bus for peanuts to Lousiville and travel with him and do the same back to Atlanta when the trip ends. Very simple.

Well the question is when to go. We want to plan this thing now so that don't run into a problem if say the prices skyrocket for airfare because of rising fuel costs..which I have a feeling will happen sooner than later.

There are two times circled on the calandar. Around my Birthday or Early December. Delaying a trip until Deceber allows me to have more time to save up money for extras, we get to see the Christmas decorations and all those festivities. And I'll have more time to get myself in better shape.

There's only one pro to keep the trip to September around my Birthday and it would take a biggie to even keep this one an option. I'm not a selfish person. However when it comes to this trip I guess I am. I want to spend my Birthday at Disneyland. I want to celebrate geting to my 26th year of beating the long odds that were set for me at the coolest and most magical place on earth and be there with my friends (y'all).

I think I know what the consensus will be from any advice I do get. And I do realize that it might be better in early December anyway. I guess I could always consider it an Unbirthday trip, right?

[CoasterMatt]

I'm going to be working 6 days this week- woohoo...

[BDBopper]

I'm going to be working 6 days this week- woohoo...

Sweet! The cool thing about working more hours...is you get more pay! Congrats! :)

There will be a third tv movie installment of "The Librarian"! Yay!

[Kevy Baby]

I work an average of 50+ hours per week.

I thought you liked sharks?

[ozron]

Well, I'm taking the attitude that two birds in the hand are worth one in the bush.

Instead of hanging on hoping to hear about Javert, I'm taking two roles with a new company doing "Pippin" and "Annie Warbucks" in repertory. I'll be playing Charlemange (Charles) in "Pippin" and Daddy Warbucks himself.

Yes, sometime in June I'll be shaving my head! We'll be doing thirty performances (fifteen each show) in thirty days, July 10 - August 10. The zoo's going to be thrilled with me!

For the time being I'm Dr. Livesey in "The Ghosts of Treasure Island" with Oregon Children's Theatre, and "Who Stole My Dead Husband" is still going strong (although we had to cancel our Skamania weekend do to a lack of marketing on their part!)

My daughter turned 21 this week. For her birthday, she's coming to the show tomorrow night and the cast and I are buying her drinks.

ron

[ozron]

During my set of Sinatra songs in "Who Stole My Dead Husband", there are a lot of things going on around the room. The audience is dancing, Grandma is molesting men, dessert is being served, etc. The audience's attention is anywhere but on me. Very rarely I'll sing to or even dance with an audience member.

A month or so ago I notice a very attractive woman watcing me as I sang. For some reason I was brave that evening and danced with her while singing "The Way You Look Tonight." Afterward I took her back to her seat and thanked her for the dance.

A week or so later, there was a message on my MySpace page. She had looked me up. Long story short... after a week of back and forth, I asked her out. This is me - I'd never done anything like this before.

We've been out twice now. She's terrific, and she actually seems interested in seeing me again. I don't know why, but I'm willing to go along until she comes to her senses.

My education continues.

ron

[BarTopDancer]

I thought you liked sharks?

Yes. I do. I'm weird. I don't like fish in a tank. I don't like Koi in a Koi pond (Tramspotters killer koi freak me out). But fish in the ocean are fine.

[BarTopDancer]

WOOHOO oz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cirquelover]

Way to go Ron!

Soooo I'm trying to get drunk tonight. The kids asleep and I think I'm going to drink my world away.

I'll try to read only and not post for fear of what might come out. Have a great night!

[CoasterMatt]

Rock on Ron! :D

[BDBopper]

Hooray for Ron! :)

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Awesome news, Ron, on all counts. Charlemagne is a great part (Warbucks too) - I wish you the best of broken limbs!

[Prudence]

It's snowing here. Why is it snowing here? This is just wrong.

[ozron]

Every year the zoo does a tropical theme for spring break. We're in Hawaiian shirts, have tropical food specials, there are island decorations and plastic flamingos.

Every year spring break is cold and wet.

This week it snowed.

We're suggesting next year we do a polar theme. We'll all wear parkas and mukluks.

Maybe that will make the sun come out.

[Not Afraid]

Go RON!!!

[Capt Jack]

I knew Id seen that pic somewhere

lets hope hes a Dragon Ball Z fan

[Mousey Girl]

He prefers Naruto and Pokemon over DBZ. He did manage to wet it down and almost control it. I am practicing picking my battles. I give him 1 week of +100 temps and he will be begging to have it buzzed.

[Not Afraid]

It took me 2 cups of coffee to realize there is a fish tank in our LR.

[Ghoulish Delight]

It took me 2 cups of coffee to realize there is a fish tank in our LR.
And how many drinks did it take to get the fish tank there in the first place?

[blueerica]

I have a pretty new monitor.

Oooh... It's fancy.

OK, back to work!

[Gemini Cricket]

Congrats, Ron!

Prudence - Snow = Bleh. Move to SoCal. :)


Mousey Girl - Cool pic! I lol'ed. :D I say go for a mohawk cut.

[Kevy Baby]

... after a week of back and forth, I asked her out.Yeah!

Pennywise?Pound foolish!

[Prudence]

Prudence - Snow = Bleh. Move to SoCal. :)


I tried. SoCal didn't want me. SoCal's loss.

[Mousey Girl]

I don't see a mohawk flying at school, but maybe during summer. This morning, I couldn't figure out why he kept asking for a hat to wear to school, until I saw him in the bathrrom trying to comb his hair. Even though he is smiling in that pic, he did NOT want me to take it. He "forbid" me to send it to anyone. It is his fault that he didn't specifically ask me not to post it anywhere.

I have an "after" picture, as soon as it sends from my cell I will post it, too. Even wetting his hair down did not tame it all the way.

[BarTopDancer]

Today is Pizza Friday.

Or as some of us like to say... unhappy labor is expensive. Pizza is cheap.

[Moonliner]

he did NOT want me to take it. He "forbid" me to send it to anyone. It is his fault that he didn't specifically ask me not to post it anywhere.

OK, but don't be surprised when Boy turns that same type of logic back on you one day. Children do as children see.

I'm so sorry, Prudence! I know how you feel. I don't get out very much either. So it really sucks when I can't get out to do something I planned to do that was going to be fun. I can relate for sure dear.

[RStar]

Yeah, that really sucks! :(

Oh, BTW you can't say **** here. Just so you know. :D ;)

[BDBopper]

Yeah, that really sucks! :(

Leftovers rawk. Especially when one remembers to bring them to work and still has them in the afternoon because one forgets that they have them and gets In-n-Out for lunch but is hungry later in the afternoon.

Leftovers are especially rawkalicious when they involve black truffles.

Just sayin'.

[Morrigoon]

Mary Poppins is coming to the Ahmanson in November.

[Kevy Baby]

A friend and her family are in town and spent yesterday at Disneyland and today at DCA. (They got Dream Fastpasses.) I joined them at the park last night and steered them to a good last-minute viewing spot for fireworks. I just LOVE enjoying the fireworks (or other DL joys) through the eyes of someone experiencing it for the first time. I am always very careful to not give anything away, but will point out some of the subtle stuff that might otherwise get missed (images projected on SBC or Matterhorn for example).

Their 13 year old daughter was very fascinated with much of the small trivia (and I was getting a total blank after giving her a few gems of info). If we end up seeing the family one more time before they leave on Monday, I think I will get her David Koenig's Behind the Ears book. I think she will love it.

Unfortunately, we had a parental end-of-a-long-day-at Disneyland meltdown :( But cheerful-happied them out of it :)

[wolfy999]

Somehow I believe that seeing DL through YOUR eyes would be entertaining in itself!

[Kevy Baby]

Somehow I believe that seeing DL through YOUR eyes would be entertaining in itself!My friend was laughing at me during parts of the show because I was getting into it so much. She commented that I was like a big kid.

And, well, yes I am. I hope I never lose that!

Ken just brought home a piece that no Tiki Dining Room can be complete without:

Squawkers Macaw (http://www.hasbro.com/furreal/default.cfm?page=Products/Detail&product_id=19354)

I've had my eye on it for some time, but it was way too expensive. It just went on cheap clearance today at Target, so he nabbed one! :D

[wolfy999]

OMG....gotta love it! I'm surprised you waited this long!

[Disneyphile]

OMG....gotta love it! I'm surprised you waited this long!
At $80, it had to wait. ;)

It's now $24.99 on clearance and they're going fast.

I think I need to slleeep.

[Gemini Cricket]

Okay.
One, my next door neighbor is loud.
Two, she's even louder on her cellphone which she likes to use in front of her door in the courtyard.
Three, now she's using the phone as a walkie talkie so I can hear her big mouth and her mom's big mouth.
This lady bugs.

:mad:

[wendybeth]

Pru's snowstorm hit here this afternoon. I am so frikking tired of this merde. On the bright side, only one more day of work and by next Tuesday we'll be in L.A.!:cheers:

[Disneyphile]

WB - are you going to be at the park at all on Wednesday? I was hoping to see you again, and I'll be gone the remainder of the week.

[wendybeth]

Yes! We check into the Grand that day, and I'm sure we'll have to have the belldude store our stuff, as I hear they never have rooms ready until after 4:00. It would be wonderful to meet up with you!

[Gemini Cricket]

wb ~ You know, I know a certain Hawaiian that doesn't have a job yet that could come by and say hi this week...
:)

[wendybeth]

Hmmm.... What a coincidence. I know a certain very tired, extremely pale (melanin challenged, really) and currently freezing chick who would love to treat her friend to a well-deserved drink at some swanky locale- say, the Hearthstone? We may have to have a 'waiting to check into our suite-meet'- what do ya say, GC & DP?:cheers:

[Gemini Cricket]

Sounds good 2 me. :)

[wendybeth]

Okay- looks like we have the start of a mini-meet. Show up in your turban and I'll bring the eyeliner. Wonder if that snotty-cute French Canuckian is still a server there?

[blueerica]

Well, my sleeping in weekends may be permanently ruined by my 6AM weekdays...

[Chernabog]

Well, my sleeping in weekends may be permanently ruined by my 6AM weekdays...

I know, growing up sucks huh? :P lol I have the same thing now. No matter how late I go to bed, I always wake up between 7 and 8. How I miss the days when I would go to bed at 4am and wake up at noon.....

[Alex]

I wake up at 6:15 in the morning pretty much regardless of day of week or how late I was up the night before. I have to really be sleep deprived over a lengthy period before I can sleep later than 7.

[€uroMeinke]

Do not discount the power of an afternoon nap

[Not Afraid]

Is it afternoon yet?

[Morrigoon]

I don't know how I managed it, but I think Alex is actually going to go with me to see Phantom :D

Anyway, I went to get tix yesterday, and of course they're all sold out of the $30 top level, back-of-house seats because I frikking waited until the show opened to try to get seats. (Scheduling issues) But anyway, the good news is, they do have *$20* "obstructed view" seats on the far left of the orchestra section that are only blocked by the edge of the proscenium. The only things I can think of that might be blocked would be the Phantom's throne and maybe dead Piangi. But the box office guy said he knew people he worked with had bought those seats and said they didn't miss anything important, so maybe even that won't be too badly blocked. I'm super excited. And $20! I paid $30 back in the late 80's for seats at the Ahmanson where you couldn't see the freaking mirror because the high angle had the top of the proscenium blocking. To me this is a heck of a deal. You can't see a concert that cheap!

Oh, if anyone cares, we're going Tuesday.

[Disneyphile]

Aaaaaagh! Our poor avocado and lemon trees. Ken's outside right now, repotting them into large tree pots. It's not a pretty sight. (I could close the blinds... but nah.)

He knows how to repot, but dude!! It looks rather perilous. (To the trees, of course.) :eek:

[Prudence]

I have a new favorite concert venue! Amazing show last night, with good food to boot.

[Morrigoon]

Oh that reminds me... so either we have troublesome kids or immature adults in our neighborhood. Last night, some asshole turned on our hose full strength in front of our house. Could have killed my snapdragons, might have killed my avocado. Only time will tell. Luckily we checked or it'd have been on all night.

I was so *pissed*

[alphabassettgrrl]

I learned today that I can fall down the side of a cliff with my bicycle and not die.

I only fell a couple feet into shrubberies but it scared me a lot. And my knee hurts in three places.

I was right that exposed narrow trails are not my friend. Great views from the top, though.

[katiesue]

OMG - glad you're ok.

[alphabassettgrrl]

I got back on the bike, too, once I verified the knee would in fact function for a while.

[Prudence]

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c321/ethelberga/IMG_2417.jpg

This is just wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. There are at least 2 inches on the ground now.

Damn you, Mother Nature!

*shakes fist*

[Matterhorn Fan]

Nah, Mother Nature's alright. It's Old Man Winter that doesn't seem to want to die this year.

[wendybeth]

I slid all the way to work today. Pure ice, with nothing on it to either give traction or melt the crap.

[Mousey Girl]

The wind is kicking up here. My allergies are driving me insane. All the wind is doing is blowing the blossoms off the trees and they all seem to go right up my nose.

[Deebs]

I learned today that I can fall down the side of a cliff with my bicycle and not die.

Ho-lee crap! I would have been scared too. (I also would have been looking around to see who saw me fall.)

I'm glad you're mostly OK and hope your knee injury doesn't hurt too-too much.

[Disneyphile]

We may have to have a 'waiting to check into our suite-meet'- what do ya say, GC & DP?:cheers:Totally! I need to be home around 5'ish to catch my flight to Vegas, but I'm good for a couple hours prior to that. :D

[wendybeth]

Awesome, DP- look forward to seeing you! PM me if you need my number, or just ask NA.

I am officially on vacation!:cheers: Well, okay- I'm giving my auntie-in-law a haircut tomorrow and her daughter a highlight, but it's at my house and there is a good chance I may not get out of my jammies. I stocked up at the store tonight and have no need to go anywhere- what a great feeling.:)

I've been wondering where you were, mister! Glad to hear it was traveling and (hopefully) having fun. Do we get to see you and Mrs. Mousepod when we come down there this week?

At least I get a break between sessions. I've never taught a true class like this and I'm kinda freaked. Did I mention my current supervisor will be in the class?

Waiting for a plane from Atlanta to Savannah.

Are you passing through Atlanta or do you live near by?

[BDBopper]

Okay. So I realized that I was being selfish and selling myself short by coming out for my Birthday in September. I know that my first trip out in 20 years should be as easy and as comfortable ...not to mention fun as possible. The more spending money I have the more wiggle room I will have in that regard. I have decided to push back my trip to early December which will allow me to have that financial wiggle room.

My Birthday at Disneyland sounds divine but maybe I'll do that when I turn 30 in four years.

So anyone rushing around to find distractions to keep you from Disneyland (like washing your ferrets) in September you can breathe a sigh a relief. Just plan to have those distractions ready to go in early December instead.

[Snowflake]

*i can do this i'll be fine*

YOU will DO GREAT!

[Kevy Baby]

realized that twitter (http://www.twitter.com) is much like this thread, but on a global basis.NOTHING is quite like the Soooo.... thread :)

Are you passing through Atlanta or do you live near by? He lives in Southern California.

[BDBopper]

He lives in Southern California.

Thanks. I just wanted to make sure I didn't have an LoT member living near me all this time without meeting.

[wolfy999]

Woke up at 5AM this morning with a toothache (real bad), now I have one less tooth. At least no more pain, well just a bit while it heals.

Lesson to all....take care of your teeth!

[Prudence]

I just got another shipment of spring clothes. All those in the PNW should brace for another cold front.

[€uroMeinke]

So, I have a meeting at the Grand Cal tomorrow. It ends at 3:00. I think I may visit the park.

[Kevy Baby]

So, I have a meeting at the Grand Cal tomorrow. It ends at 3:00. I think I may visit the park.Yeah, but can you still not go camping?

[CoasterMatt]

My pants keep getting holes in the crotch. It's getting annoying.

[wendybeth]

And yet, there is a convenience factor you can't ignore.;)



(Posting my last posts before beddy-bye- see ya tomorrow, Matt!)

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Thanks for the well wishes. It was fine. The only snafu was that the wireless doesn't turn on until right when my class began, so I wasn't able to bookmark the long annoying url like I wanted to. After getting everyone to type it in correctly (and moving a couple of people to spare laptops after odd things went wrong) things went fine.

I really do think I'm good at translating geek speak to normals. Oh, and the program is super simple.

Moonie - I do loves me some SmartBoard action. :D

And now - I get to train all the City department heads. Oh boy.

[cirquelover]

That's what happens when you do your job too well, you get to train everyone else also! Great job on the presentation, were you nervous? I know I would be, but I don't like speaking to groups.

[RStar]

My pants keep getting holes in the crotch. It's getting annoying.

Well, I hear that if you strap it to your leg it won't wear out the pants so much. I think I read that in a Dear Heloise article.

Actually, if I'm correct, Utah will be seeing some more rain and snow come Wednesday and Thursday... are you bringing this on?

So I saw this headline:

F1 boss urged to quit amid Nazi sex scandal
Mosley reportedly play-acted being prisoner with five prostitutes on video

(Full story here (http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/23882746/) - F1 = Formula 1 Race Cars)

But I was most amused by the unfortunate picture that accompanied the story:

Long Beach, CA

SEVERE WEATHER ALERT

Forecast Details:

Mostly cloudy skies early, then partly cloudy after midnight. Low 49F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph.


MAN! That IS severe!!!!!!


Actually, when I got to more details I saw that there is actually some "discomfort" in the forecast. I blame WenchyBeth.

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

So, in otherwords - the end of civilization?

[Kevy Baby]

So, in otherwords - the end of civilization?Well, if they are predicting rain in Southern California, then; yes.

At least as the news stations report it.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Well, if they are predicting rain in Southern California, then; yes.

At least as the news stations report it.And with good reason. As pathetic as it is, drizzle kills people here.

I'm sure there are people in LA who reach for the Xanax at the first sign of rain.

[katiesue]

I wish it wouldn't rain - Maddy's at camp. That'll just suck.

So I got in an accident today. I'm ok. ShinyCar is scratched up pretty bad. Some jackass made an illegal U turn (on a red) while we were turning left. Everything would have been ok, except he pulled into my lane and cut me off. I hit the horn and he slammed on his breaks. I had to hit my breaks and swerve into the dirt. Spun around and landed against the fence. He actually got out of his car (parked about 100ft away) to see if I was ok, and I was getting on the phone to 911. I told him I think I am ok and then I saw the car. I said you're the guy who cut me off! He said you almost hit me! I said YOU CUT ME OFF while making an ILLEGAL U TURN!. 911 had picked up at that point, I told them and he took of running to his car. I couldn't get his plate. Jackass. The cop who came out was awesome. Super nice. He wrote the report that it wasn't my fault.

Now to decide if I report it to the insurance. I need at least a buff job. Maybe a paint job. I need to find out what my deductibles are.

Ugh.

Hmm, that I don't know. But if you have a police report that indicates you were not at fault, you're probably in a good position.

[blueerica]

Oy, BTD.

I'm just glad you're okay. And sorry you had to start your day with a jerk-off.

"You almost hit me..."

Oh a happy note, I scored floor seats to Kenny Chesney!

[BarTopDancer]

Thanks for the kind words.

Don't think I am going to claim it with the insurance. My deductible is $2k. It won't go on my record because it is being written as not my fault. But the cop said he wouldn't file the report if I didn't want him to. I think it should still be filed, just in case the guy got my number.

[Gemini Cricket]

Thankfully, no one was hurt.

Somtimes I wonder how I can be so dim.

Swanie talks me into doing this Disneyland run Labor Day weekend. Last year we did the 5K with the girls and they loved it. Ok I'm in. Now for an unknown reason, in my small little brain, I signed up for a 13K. The other thing was in Kilometers so apparently my mind kept the K's. It's a Half Marathon - that's 13.1 MILES. I may just shoot myself now.

[Alex]

If it helps, most of the course is a really boring trek through commercial Anaheim.

That's mostly why we'll probably never do it again, the route is simply dull (though the desire to be nowhere near Disneyland on Labor Day Weekend is also a significant contributor). Running through the ballpark is cool but nothing else outside of the parks is at all interesting.

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

I'm gonna see CHICAGO tonight!!!

Yay Me!!!

I believe you are correct. Even allowing for the fact that it was "afternoon rain", it is now 4:04 and the sky is clearer even than it was at noon.

Awesome! Thanks man! Coincidentally that whole show airs again from 6-9 PM Pacific time. http://www.radioodyssey.com If you have a PC instead of a mac try downloading the latest version of winamp. The direct link to the stream is http://70.84.35.130:8032 There is music on there right now to test it Thanks for the compliment!

[BDBopper]

We are broadcasting in the AAC+ Format. This technology gives you CD quality audio without eating up bandwidth. Compare our stream with a typical 64kbps MP3 stream and you'll hear the difference! At this time, iTunes will not play "any" AAC+ streaming audio. For Windows users, the latest version of Windows Media Player (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/download.aspx) (with the Orban (http://www.orban.com/plugin/) plug-in) will work fine. For easy, no-fuss results, try using either Winamp (http://www.winamp.com/player/), or Foobar (http://www.foobar2000.org/index.html)! Both Winamp and Foobar play the stream with no trouble and with no extra downloads. For Mac and Linux users, the VLC Player (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/)is highly recommended.


Hopefully that will help everyone.

For the last few days, I've been noticing that the house two doors down has had the garage open, and there's a guy working on a big graffiti piece on a white fence. It looked cool and familiar, so yesterday I walked over and introduced myself and told him how much I enjoyed looking at his artwork.

Well... turns out he's the legendary artist Blek Le Rat - and he's finishing some work for a big solo show that opens this Saturday at Subliminal Projects (http://www.subliminalprojects.com/main/current/) on Sunset.

I'll be there (since we're not doing movie night).

I hope I am not jinxing things, but the job interview went G-R-E-A-T. They did not flinch at my salary and I ran into so many people who remembered me, with hugs, I have a feeling I may be a show in.

The other clue is, the attorney I would be working for looked at me and said, well I have nothing to say really, chemical is a bit different than what you've been doing, but I doubt it will be a problem.

I'm late with my puppy update! We found out yesterday that we'll be getting our girl the Monday after MA! Eleven days and counting until she's ours. :D

We're having to monkey with our plans a bit and drive out with the kids so we have a car to drive her back home but it will be well worth it. My folks were coming to AZ from LA to watch them, so this way we'll bring the kids out to them, still get our MA weekend away, and then we will get the puppy Monday morning. It'll be crazy but in the long run it'll be better for the pup.

We also will find out this weekend which girl is ours. They will do the temperament testing Saturday at 49 days, so we should hear in our Monday update if it is girl #1 or girl #2.

Here's the latest photo...

Oh and I'll put on the "woodsy" noises on the noise machine. Hmm wonder if I can rig up a fake campfire?

[Kevy Baby]

With our shows at Skamania lodge cancelled, this weekend I have Friday evening off. I'm going to The Portland Instant Movie Project.

Picture this: There's a projectionist in the theater. Three seperate casts and crews, and three very fast runners are at various locations nearby. They'll be improvising, filming, editing, scoring and screening the movie basically all at once, all while the audience is watching the "completed" project. It should be a blast.

Okay, it could be hiliarious, or it could just totally suck. We'll see.

This is a third date with the woman I met at the show. Fortunately, Tony Starlights (http://www.tonystarlight.com) is just a couple blocks away. We'll be heading there afterward, or sooner if it blows.

ditto. poor kitty :( Good thing you're around to take care of these guys!

Happy kitty now. Kitty will be taken care of and will find a real home.

[wolfy999]

Don't EVEN think about calling the Wolfpack NA!

[Not Afraid]

LOL! But, you're the expert!

He was on the porch of a client's house. There are a lot of feral cats near her and I suspect this was one of their kittens. But, he or she was all alone and looked quite lost. It is old enough to survive but not on it's own. It let me pick it up without a problem. So, I brought it home and put it in the bathroom. It is in a cat carrier for the moment, until I get the larger crate. I'll probably take him or her to my vet tomorrow for care and adoption. He's all black. I'll take pics.

He's TINY and doesn't seem to have a meow..... yet, although he makes the motions - there's just no sound.


I hope this is not an indication of what this kitten season is going to be like.

[BarTopDancer]

I wish kitties didn't conflict with my ability to breathe. :(

It's April- and the Rogues have a big bash for April b-days. This year it is being held at the same time as our Masquerade Ball.

...and I can't go.


We are so beaten down financially due to the car problems that I am barely scraping by- and don't have the money for gas for a drive up north to the event.

I'm freaking Cinderella without a fairy Godmother.

*sigh* I will try to be positive- I get to spend my birthday at home rather than driving up north.

What a bummer, Nephy. I'm sorry, and I know what you are going through. Been there, done that so to speak. I hope things improve for you.
