100 Movies

As I have mentioned many times, Kwizgiver often gives me ideas for memes and lists.  Because of her, two months ago I attempted a list of 50 songs which had moved me (realizing, practically, that I could not make a list of 100).  Today I noticed that she had done a 100 movies l...

Typo-ville

OK.  I'm going to do something weird here.  Except for this introduction, I am not going to correct any typos in this entry.  The reason is that something is happening to me and I can't seem to stop it.  For one thing there is this numb 1-1/2 fingers on my right hand....

Sunday Stealing

1. Have you ever peed your pants as an adult? I'm a post-menopausal woman.  It goes with the territory!  However, the most embarrassing time was when I was in my 20s and we went to Lamplighters Champagne Gala.  I was wearing a purple sequined lamé dress.  I was definit...

City of the Dead

Yesterday at the book store, it had been my plan to read Henry V, since I am going to see the play on Friday.  But -- well, it's Shakespeare and I was falling asleep by page 3.  I got up and wandered around the store looking for anything that caught my eye.  On one of the d...

The Weirdness of Dogs

"The better to eat you with, my dear!"This picture is only peripherally related to this entry.  It was posted to Facebook by the woman who has hosted Buddy since he left here.  That cute little puppy we had is now this big ol' hunkin' dawg, but fortunately still as sweet he...

Now this is just silly!

I was very moved watching Andrew Sullivan on one of the Sunday talk shows.  Sullivan, who is the former editor of The New Repubic and five books and is currently known most for his bog, The Daily Beast, which focuses primarily on political issues.  He appears frequently on talk...

KIss the Cook

"I guess we should get together or something, since it's mother's day," Ned said, graciously, last week.  I suggested we go to my mother's, as usual, and then called to let her know we would be coming.  She said she would pick a restaurant and make reservations for bru...

I was checking out the Davis Wiki today to see what new restaurants had come to town that we had never visited. The Davis Enterprise has a yearly contest for the bests in Davis, everything from restaurants to veterinarians and just about every category in between.The top 3 were listed, o...
