Wow, it's neat what you can learn via Google: "Liathroidi" is pronounced "Lia' Roadie". Go tell Lia' Roadie, Go tell Lia' Roadie, Go tell Lia' Roadie, that Waxy's Pole is dead...

Too much poking, Sheila Too much joking, Sheila Too much croaking, Sheila Old Waxy's pole is dead... (Sorry, couldn't resist.) Must be the "Irish" in me!! (Many Irish are morbidly depressed, especially after reading James Joyce.) Just grab the Blarney Stone and kiss it hanging backwards over a cliff, after having gone up the mountainside, barefoot, loads of fun!!

I swear by everything that's wacked-out that someday I will do an imagined scene from a Japanese monster movie, featuring a giant leprechaun warding off a giant tadpole's flame breath with a shillelagh amidst a crumbling, flaming cityscape...

Buddie, the "Vulcans" only have Pon Phar (their version of sex, handholding) once every seven years, it's very violent (they send themselves or representatives in to kill each other) the "victor" gets the goodies. (For reference, Classic Trek, "Amok Time" and Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock.) (Throws Amok Time in and watches Kirk get sliced up witha pendulum.) | ||

Pat comes in, tired but elated from watching an unexpectedly excellent movie--"Leon The Professional"--which has been formally enshrined upon her "Favorite Movies List" and about which she will be writing a pocket review for the Recommend movies here! thread tomorrow. It starred an *amazing* 12 year old Natalie Portman and Jean Reno and was directed by Luc Besson, who also directed another movie on her list, "La Femme Nikita". Pat's a happy camper, since movies don't get added to that list very often  I'll have a nice frothy decaf latte, John, and a plate of something sweet--got any brownies?? Where the heck's Brighid?

I have a 'secret recipe' for brownies (sorry, pot-less) that was such a hit at an old workplace that I was almost required to make them for every potluck lunch! All I did was adapt the "Brownies Cockaigne" (please, no coke or cocky jokes - I didn't name the darn thing) recipe from 'Joy of Cooking' (via Time-Life's "Good Cook" series) by substuting brown sugar for half of the plain, and adding cinnamon and toffee bits!

Oh, and 'mee to' on the super-chewy edge (as long as it's not burnt). Then again, I'm one of those people who eat the frosting first and the bottom pie crust last because I like them best!

We're getting a rare and precious break from an unbelieveable amount of rain today and possibly tomorrow--I'm going for another walk then. March brought us *twice* the usual rain and frankly I'm beginning to look for 'shrooms behind my ears when I wash So you have my sincere sympathy. John, I think I need a decaf latte again--need the steamed milk for comfort and the decaf so I'll be able to sleep tonight.

(For those who enjoy the "om", this was on another site I frequent.) Having a rough day? Just in case you've had a rough day, here's a stress management technique recommended in all the latest psychological texts. The funny thing is that it really works. 1. Picture yourself near a stream. 2. Birds are softly chirping in the cool mountain air. 3. No one but you knows your secret place. 4. You are in total seclusion from the hectic place called "the world,". 5. The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of serenity. 6. The water is crystal clear. 7. You can easily make out the face of the person you're holding underwater. 8. See, you're smiling already. | ||
