Well, GW, I might have an answer, but it might take forever to find my HTML book, not to mention the fact I have to do a billion things first. I really shouldn't be mooting right now.

Grey_Wolf · 02-11-2006, 04:04 PM

Thanks. There's no real rush. I've done most of the work already. And this watermark thingie is just for show. Take your time.

The last sane person · 02-11-2006, 04:16 PM

Yeah, I would have my dogs well trained...but there are too many "master" in the house. My mom loves them, but is a cat person, by brothers are complete idiots and my father...well...the only thing he has ever raised were horses (sort of) and cats.

Gah, its warm over here, and I am currently taking care of my sick parakeet, who is showing signs of comming round for the better.

I'll take a coffee.

Lady Marion Magdalena · 02-11-2006, 06:28 PM

*shivers* Cold, still snowing, out of honey for tea.

On plus side went to the library and read through the first eight chapters of 'The Old Curiosity Shop'. Is good but is also giving me a new appreciation for concise writing styles. For some reason all his descriptions give his characters a cartoonish feel. I'm not quite sure if I like or not yet...

And now I must venture outside once more, this time in search of dinner.

Yep, in Lexington we have at least 5-6" already and it shows no sign of stopping. I've moved the cars to the end of the drive in hopes we can get out on Monday. Not a sign of a plow or sander; good old rural Va.

The Old Curiosity Shop is a great read. Enjoy while the snow settles in.

And now for some hot chocolate.

Okay. I'll have the information for you within only three billion years. If I remember...

In fact, why wasn't Q there to save Data! Or at least his wife Q, or his son q. Or someone! WHY!!!!! *sob*. Where was Q when he would have actually been useful? WHY!?

I don't seem to remember seeing his cat in quite a few episodes. Wonder where Spot disappeared to, if he did at all. And whatever hapened to Wes Crusher?

i thought the ending to nemesis was good though, sort of hinting at B4 picking up where data left off

That's what I heard, that

Data transferred all his info to B-4. But doesn't B-4 seem kind of clueless even at the end, except for that song?

Will do. But for this evening I'm taking a break and going to see the school's production of 'The Vagina Monologues'. Hopefully it'll be good.

Lotesse · 02-11-2006, 11:13 PM

I would LOVE to see the famous "Vagina Monologues!" What school is putting on the production, Maggie? Is that in Seattle?

And everyone with their snow! I feel for you guys - no wait, I take that back. It would be SO COOL to be able to have snow! Southern California lately has been the same - gorgeous every day, no such thing as "snow" around here - what is this "snow?"

I miss the snow, man. I wonder if my family in Northern Georgia's getting snow right now.

No major sand storms where you live Lotesse?

I beleive it is the end (or only the beginning?) of Monsoon season in the desert here.

Lady Marion Magdalena · 02-11-2006, 11:36 PM

My college put it on here in Virginia. I was lazy and didn't audition for it when I could've. Now I wish I had... I could've done a better job of acting than some of the girls who were in it.

Fortunately it's the sort of show that holds its own regardless of acting quality. I'm glad I finally got a chance to see it.

No man, no sand storms happenin' in Hollywood! Or Manhattan Beach, either, for that matter. It's been warm, sunny, nothing abnormal at all the last few days, except maybe TOO warm like the day before yesterday. In some inland areas, there's been wind, and red flag warnings and so forth, but not around me. I actually like the crazy-winds, the hot crazy-winds are the bomb. They make people crazy, but they make me perfectly calm and - happy. I love the chaos and uncertainty of those Santa Ana winds. Hmm. What does that say about me... *thinksthinks* Well, I am kinda crazy, or so they say...

Lady M - I've only heard about the Vagina Monologues; never read the play or seen it performed. I wish I could get my hands on a copy of the play, though.

Well, the play my stepdad was in, called "I'm Going to Kill the President" was voted the best play of 2005 or something. Never saw it myself, but you should.

Lotesse · 02-12-2006, 12:05 AM

It is Saturday night, ladies and gentlemen, so - Silver Patron shots and grilled shrimp for all my moot buddies!!!

I would LOVE to see such a play! Right up my alley. Is your step-dad a minor celebrity, trolls' bane? I have a feeling that he is. If you feel like it, can you PM me and tell me who he is? I bet I would recognise his name. You've mentioned a lot of movies and shows that you say he's been in, or been somehow a part of, so either he's a background actor, or he's a producer, or - something. So curious!

I'll just tell ya here! (Saves me the wait for the net to load, which cuts about ten minutes off my day at the end--a substantial amount, that.)
His name is Edward Pellettieri. Yeah, he's a background actor who happens to be in well known movies. Have you ever seen The Fourth Tenor? With Rodney Dangerfield? One of Rodney's last movies. Eddy gets a twenty three second full frame shot, though he only mumbles nervously. And because of knowing him personally, that's where
EDDIE got its name.

Lotesse · 02-12-2006, 12:26 AM

Never heard of him!

But I have been in well-known movies & shows, too - me and my car were in Desperate Housewives, I was in Princess Diaries 2, and a few Bernie Mac episodes, and other shows but I have to look through my old Central Casting payslips to remember all the different projects. Had a lot going on last year & the year before especially; it's hard to remember all the stuff I did.

Not all of it was legal, either... *looks shiftily & nervously side to side, tucks self away back into the shadows*

Lotesse · 02-12-2006, 12:30 AM

I ran into Rodney Dangerfield like three years ago at Greenblatt's Deli on Sunset & Laurel, up the street where I used to live. He looked like a slightly older version of himself in Caddyshack, and only slightly less animated. He was the bomb! He was right behinfd me in line, to buy wine or something, there with a couple other people. I do love that crazy cat, R.I.P.. My dad REALLY loves Rodney Dangerfield!

Wine...*glances back and forth between people who have seen Fourth Tenor with big, knowing grin*
