I hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!

no.... thank YOU, for spending so much time with us, and for being your usual fun, funny, gorgeous self! I had such a great time! It breaks my heart that you live so far away!
Plane ride home was okay, and we *did* come home to snow! Yikes!
Hope you're feeling better today! I've been coughing, sneezing and blowing my nose all day, so I am really taking it easy tonight! I'm just going to write a couple more comments and then get in bed and watch a movie (maybe "Everything is Illuminated"). I'll try to update with pictures tomorrow!
Oh and check your regular email soon for the full set.
Have a great night Shelly! I miss you already!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and D...

so I've been uploading pics all damn day. I emailed you a few albums already, but the very first one I mailed were the ones from the brockton fair, but I don't think they went through. let me know if you got them or not. thanks. bye!

I think that I will! Thanks for the encouragement, Shel!

I'll even give you due props if I talk with the guy himself.

it is awesome,

i was at a Borders outside of Wilimington, DE. i had just stoped in to pick up aq couple a magazines to keep me occupied here at work. when i got to the check-out line i saw the big cardboard box on the shelves behind the counter. i had remembered seeing something about this book earlier in the year or last year, and decided to go up to the information desk to ask about it. when asked, i was told it was $200. i must have walked back thru the store for another 15 minutes trying to decide what i wanted to do. in the end it came down to the reasoning that yes, the book is $200, but i'm in DE and there is no sales tax, and further more the book is here in the store so there is no shipping charge. so i put back the two magazines, and asked for the book. the no sales tax, and shipping fees were the final nails in the coffin for me

Some of them I have no problem facing and then there are those I do not want to even own.

I have officially moved from crushing on the boytoy to being smitten - verging on infatuation...I sent him my oh god - i'm sorry for being a blubbering mess last night text and he suggested we watch bad kung fu movies...yup - I'm smitten...this was while i was driving to see my sister...to be even more emotional...but I am so glad I did see her today...I don't think I realized I miss her...I am learning about this whole "emotions" thing - I have a friend that used to call me 7 of 9.... but thank you for all of your support! And - we need to start planning on chocolate brunch - I have lost 6 pounds and am feeling a complete need to put back at least three of them!

You KNOW you miss it...

oh man emanuelle beart is a gooorgeous creature!

also I'd like to live in the city, purely for health and fitness reasons.

the movie was at 1:10pm.

btw there was some kind of funky miscommunication regarding seeing this movie, which I'll tell you about later.

p.s. how are you my beautiful love?

I really loved the movie.

I loved the look of it, etc.

I wish you had seen it too!

That's probably cos she IS a teenager!

Have you heard there's been an arrest in A.S.'s murder?
Some kid.
The whole story's not out yet.

And definitely keep an eye out for Mad Love.
It's worth every one of it's 88 minutes!

Oh man! So many people guessed Ultraviolet or Laura Croft (no idea how people got that second one ). I was actually Major Motoko Kusanagi from this anime series called Ghost in the Shell. It's one of my favorite animes of all time

So far, three people on here have gotten it right. I am very impressed So, did you hand out lots of candy on Halloween?

WEre there only two? I could have sworn there had been several of these.

I'll have to check IMDB, I guess.


Have a lovely weekend.

You know - I am really digging this whole Mrs. Robinson thing....We were laughing a bit over it this weekend - I think though - that he's actually going to be the more mature one while we date....I suck at dating! But - thank you.....HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!

Happy Halloween!!

yea shelly!!!!
yeah, i pretty much blanked when it came to scream queens.
but this morning i remembered i had a friend in 8th grade - david sweeney - he like all the scarey movies. so i had to watch all the halloweens, fri 13th, texas chainsaw (omg i HATE that fuckin movie), nightmare on elm st,
and every now and then he would grab a knife from the kitchen and pretend he was gonna kill me and he would go into this whole thing about how he had been joking all those other times but this time it was for real. and i would get all freaked out and he would call me a pussy. actually come to thik of it afterbirth and i have a similar dynamic
anyway, it took me a long time to be able to appriciate scary movies and not be truly scared. although i guess i'm talking about rosemarys baby, shining kinda movies and not slasher type

ice cream queen is another story. i got us a scoop for portion control, i was being too generous every night.

and i agree there should be pictures taken for you, well for me too, for EVERYONE really

Lucky's Lounge. They actually have decent food there, too!

Anyhoo, I'm free all day Sunday, and down for whatev.

i actually own Daughters of Darkness - i really like it, i've seen it a few times now. it has such great atmosphere - plus i love those 70's sex/horror conglomerations anyway. but it is a step above most of them, i think. the only thing that bugs me about it is the whole "mother" bit - seems it was reaching for some sort of hamfisted 'Psycho' connection there, since it didn't seem to really go anywhere. Delphine Seyrig is incredible as Countess Bathory...


and - i LOVE 'Don't Look Now' - what an incredible film. my girl and i do an imitation of the little creepy killer's shaking its head "no" all the time. there's an interesting story connecting that film and the Wicker Man - they were both being produced by the same studio at the same time when it was up for sale, and almost both got trashed when it was bought... i think they premiered on a double bill, actually...

anyway. lots of rambling there.

It means something like:

When the gondolas are mourning.

Gondolas mean gondolas, but the strange thing is the usage of 'Trauer tragen' which would normally relate to a person wearing something visible (to others, e.g. black clothes) to indicate that they are mourning. Well, gondolas in Venice are most of the time 'wearing black' so that the term 'tragen' could also mean something like 'transport' e.g. somebody who's mourning. Kind of mystic the choice of words but doesn't seem to relate to "Don't Look Now".

Probably the translation would have sounded stupid in German and raise some expectations which have nothing to do with a thriller. So, now, with that changed title, we would expect a tragedy of some kind ...

Definitely!
Do it this winter and we can have cocoa and popcorn and I'll make my famous maple pecan pie for later....
