US $28 for six cd's??? are you mad man??? screw patience, go get them!!!!!

the boy is daft.

boddington's is available in better booze shops, in a four pack/cans. it has a nitrogen ball thingy in it, like guinness in the can. my first beer was celebrator (dark, rich, thick), and from there i graduated to liebotschaumer cream ale, sold in the 'taverns' of colonial williamsburg. boddingtons i...

when it rains, it pours. hoping the sunshine shows up damn soon at your place.

and could i have a hot toddy? at home w/ a sore throat and sniffles.

a toast! to sunshine, in all its metaphorical forms.

oh, but i really hate watching most everyone in a room dive for their cell phones when one goes off. *that's* stupid. i'll take a dippy ringtone myself.

says she whose cell phone is ancient and thus only sits in the car for emergencies.

voyuerism is fun?

mmmmmmmmm, boddingtons.

the half price tickets booth, at piccadilly circus i think, was excellent for getting seats. if i'd had a BRAIN i could have seen Alan Rickman on the boards when i was there last. (i am an IDIOT.) do not, do NOT go see Fame. it stinks. hopefully it will have closed aeons ago. i know, it sounds silly...

gilli, when i lived in a third floor apartment, i used to put a bowl of ice cubes on level w/ my mattress, and direct the fan to blow over the ice cubes and towards me. might work at a desk too.

good luck. i know y'all aren't prepared to deal w/ such heat/humidity.

the friend who i convinced to see EC at Lupo's (the show i couldn't get to) had never seen him before. she LOVED the show, and LOVED 'I Wanna Be Loved' (done at the 7pm show). she just ordered the 'best of' compilation w/ that song on it.

i've made a convert!!!!! yay me!

if bunny gets steve, she can have steve.

but everyone could use groupies. i'll be one for steve nieve.

i've always had a soft spot for rock piano, and the guy playing it.

(as in, Left of North)

mood, you come on out here to boston. there's a spare cube across from me for about another week, someone's on vacay, then i'm out for a week. maybe by then the furry person will be finished. the nail clipper continues to occassionally clip his nails. i refuse to look. in other stupid office news, i...

well, dang, how do I get a gig like that? free cd's?????? sounds like my kind of thing exactly.

oh! yes, i do remember that now. i went to the concert having heard nothing by them before, ticket acquired solely on the strength of recommendations here. tks all!

AND it had my cousin-in-law (!), Jack Noseworthy, in a prominent role (the german american who gets to translate everything).

and honestly, no, i've never met him. we may be southern, but we've never been a particularly close family.

It seems to me (having seen Eels a month ago) that MC Honky is E himself. Even at the Dublin show when Eels finished their set, they brought MC Honky out to take a bow, but it's an Andy Kaufman-Tony Clifton thing... i quite agree. E seems to have such a wealth of ideas, and MC Honky doesn't even ha...

. . . and I got to hear "Beyond Belief" live this year! so did I - it was my first time hearing the song. so, in retrospect, it's not quite so momentous, i didn't know what i was hearing, but i liked it. oh well. another tour. one of my wishes is to follow EC around and see every gig. lik...

oh, poor bunny!!! okay, i'll bite. this is my journal entry for today. maybe later i'll even copy and past it into my live journal. (and why isn't this in the annex anyway? i guess i'll have to be somewhat on topic, damn.) sitting drinking scotch now. not that i'm a drunk, but i have decided that to...

i LOVE the vicarious living i get to do here.

wheeeeee!

easily amused, and happy, poppet.

good thread! today i actually listened to Veronica and didn't lunge for the skip button. of course, i think the pretty full bottle of riesling that i had recently finished off helped. i don't like 'The Loved Ones'. sounds trite to my ears. but, even 'bad' elvis is better than alot of schlock on the ...

Yeah, I remember seeing one of Rothko's at the TM, Bamboo. Fabulously lit, with one whole wall to itself.... i adore Rothko. some time not long after i got married, the Sackler Museum in Cambridge MA exhibited Rothko's murals for the Harvard Faculty Club, which were taken down a number of years ago...

sigh. poppet loves buffy. mmmmmmmmm.

"this is just, neat!"

that civil union stuff doesn't quite cut it though - how do you get civilly un-unionized? according to a recent article in the boston globe, many courts won't grant a divorce to a civilly unionized couple. so how do you untangle all that stuff that you so easily entangled??? now *that* would be a me...

if this is how you get the song, then i think i shall never get it. i'm sorry to hear about your relatives. i KNOW it's hard dealing with alzheimers, and the like. i lost my parents thru different ailments, and all the grandparents are gone. i actually don't know any truly elderly people. i spent a ...

oooh, tks for the link! i really should put up a better link to Wuthering Heights on my home page, in case there's anybody anywhere looking at it.

thanks!!
