There are several things I like about TypePad, but since I’m sick, I’m not going to list them now. One thing I don’t like is that they don’t do much to promote the blogs using their service. They always have a short list of "Recently Updated Blogs," but it is very short and NOW [...]
Reggie is better. The heat and humidity are awful. I’m sick. This image, snapped from weather.com, is from 9:45 P.M. If I’d snapped it earlier today, it would have shown a heat index around 110 degrees, maybe higher. For it to be this hot, this late in the evening, is unusual here and really awful. [...] About midnight Saturday, as I was heading off to bed, I noticed that Reggie was in the beginnings of another allergic reaction. He was scratching and licking himself trying to find comfort. I gave him a Bendryl and 45 minutes later noticed that there were two bumps on his head that looked like insect bites. [...] Another hot, muggy day here in Chicagoland, so Reggie and I hung out around the house doing as little as possible. That included watching Harrison Ford’s latest movie, Firewall. This movie didn’t get the best reviews, so I wasn’t expecting too much and, therefore, ended up enjoying the movie. This isn’t a great movie, and I [...] Adirondack Park Hosted on Zooomr I’ve just signed up for Zooomr, a Flickr like photography service with a few additional features. I’ve only uploaded one picture, the fabulous vista above, as I "figure out" the service. So far I’m liking what I see, but since I’m new to these services, a little more online help would [...] I think it was over a month ago that BL and I saw The Lake House. As soon as the movie ended, we looked at each other and said: BL: “I liked it.” It was really an odd conversation [...] Tonight I had dinner at a friend’s house and then we watched The Interpreter, which she had not seen. I already posted about the movie here, and stand by those comments. But a few more thoughts… In one of the DVD extras, Sydney Pollack says he met for several hours with the Secretary-General of the United [...] When I’m extra tired I’m prone to spoonerisms, and, occasionally, malaprops. Tonight’s verbal faux pas, well, hmm, it wasn’t a spoonerism or a malaprop, but it was strange and funny just the same. It started Sunday, or actually, it started a month or so ago with a fill-valve in a toilet that wouldn’t stop running. Since [...]
AustenBlog is sharing the absolute funniest video of the year! Trust me! You must see this. Just click here and be prepared to laugh and laugh!! As I said on AustenBlog: Matinee to watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire? $7.50. Admission to see Pride and Prejudice in 2005? $8.50. When Harry Met [...] All this talk of glass made me decide to visit the local Dale Chihuly glass. This is from the Schaumburg Township District Library. This Chihuly glass was commisioned and purchased by the library. Apparently, the library board made all the decisions…including the colors and display location. I really like and enjoy Chihuly glass, but I do [...] I discovered the following graphic on weather.com just after 10:00 A.M. this morning. I’ve cut out the ads and radar, leaving only the current weather conditions (the top part of the graphic) and the forecast (the bottom half of the graphic). Notice a problem?
Bummer, bummer, bummer! The call just came that the kiln IS on back order. No idea when it will arrive. Bother, bother, bother. I was all set to fuse away. Not happy! Feeling very childish. I think I’m going to go eat worms. Tomorrow or Friday I’ll be bringing home my first glass kiln! I’m purposely starting with a small kiln to better hone my skills. And, yes, it’s also cheaper, but this way I can build up my workshop as I improve my skills. The kiln will be 8" x 8" x 4.5"…perfect for jewelry and small [...] Just to show that we Jane Austen fans really know how to party, here’s Disco Darcy:
Too bad they didn’t include the Disco Duck music. ;-) Hat tip: AustenBlog and Brontëana The world’s largest photograph? And it was taken using the pinhole photography method…very cool. Hat tip: CrabAppleLane Here’s Reggie’s new cousin, a.k.a. Buddy.
Buddy, my brother’s new dog, is an 8-week old Border Collie. As you can see he is adorable! He’s also very sweet and alert. Not too stupid either…it’s been horribly hot here and he’s camped out on an a/c vent! But watch out, Buddy is teething and chewing on [...] Turner Classic Movies (TCM) is paying tribute to the late June Allyson today by showing a few of her movies this afternoon. If you have the chance, tune in to be entertained. Unfortunately I didn’t discover this in time to catch the first several movies or their Private Screenings show with her. Private Screenings, an [...] Today was so hot and humid, that I kept thinking of this old joke: One hot evening, a minister came to dinner at the home of one of his parishioners. When they all sat down to dinner, the minister asked the family’s 5-year son, Johnny, to say grace. But Johnny didn’t want to pray out [...] Who can skip a Pixar movie?* I had to see Cars on the big screen…and I’m so glad that I did. Unlike Pixar movies of the past, Cars is weak on storyline. City slicker/big shot gets put in his/her place by the good hearted/down home country folk. We’ve seen it before and before and before [...] Can you say, Meryl Streep? "No, no. That wasn’t a question." Ever had a boss from Hades? (I have, I have!!!) And that’s what The Devil Wears Prada is all about. And in the fashion industry…to boot. This is a fun and entertaining movie, but there were some flaws on the runway. Anne Hathaway doesn’t demand the [...] |
