Things

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

Stanley Steemer has this bizarre ad that talks about how not only are their carpets clean, but so are their workers. They then say they do drug testing.
I dunno. This just makes me uncomfortable. I doubt I’d hire them because of that ad.
Jameson and Dan are in LA. Today Jameson has his audition. (GO [...]

But Not Really, I’m Sure!

Friday, January 26th, 2007

… I must have made a mistake somewhere on that test.
Of course I really don’t dance. At all. (I used to, but only with my children when they were very small. I doubt they even remember!)

You scored as Viennese Waltz. You are Viennese Waltz! Elegant and exhilarating, you are more fun than a [...]

Hmmm

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

I was watching something and the station silenced “bitch” when the person said “son of a bitch” but then didn’t silence “bastard”. That seems weird to me. But what do I know?
In other news, I braved the backyard today. I picked some clementines. And they are YUMMY. I mean big time yummy.
I just learned about [...]

Oh! The Power!

All I have to do is write a few bad poems and Kelsey blogs big time.
Or not. ;-)

Poem For Kelsey

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

I wonder if my daughter has a blog
I thought she did but maybe I am wrog
She hasn’t written for a bit of time
It must be that the error is all mine.
I’d bother her but I’m a nicer mom
I only write bad poems—not too long—
that hardly rhyme and make so little sense
that folks around me think [...]

A Good Movie (imo)

Sunday, January 14th, 2007

Jameson and I just finished watching Branagh’s Much Ado about Nothing. Such fun! I have a difficult time with Keanu Reeves (is it only my problem?) but I really love Shakespeare, and I needed something like this one today. Jameson also found a few monologues he really likes so perhaps he’s found just the right [...]

Cold

Saturday, January 13th, 2007

How do you spell “brrr”?
Me? 30 degrees will do it. And the furnace agrees, as it is clicking on a whole lot more than usual. (I dread seeing our heating bill this month.)
I realize that a large part of the world spells “brrr” at a lower temperature, but this California girl is just [...]

Salaries Are Weird Sometimes

Thursday, January 11th, 2007

$142,000 per day?
At least that’s what I heard on the TV news. This article doesn’t give the daily salary, but you can do the math with what they do give.
I could live with that salary, I think. I guess I chose the wrong profession, eh? (Admittedly, I’m not the “Beckham of oboe playing” either.)

California Theatre

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

They are showing North by Northwest at the California Theatre right now. Is that cool or what? It shows through the 11th, and then Breakfast at Tiffany’s comes in.
After that?
Well, it’s Symphony Silicon Valley. But not on the big screen.

Just Because

Monday, January 8th, 2007

I don’t know exactly why, but I was just remembering the nice restaurant that Dan, Kelsey, Jameson and I went to in the middle of the Nut run. I also went with a couple of pals ‘o mine just the day before the family visit. If you have a chance to go to McCormick and [...]
