Hi! I'm glad I have a new TV so I can watch Mad Men in the reclining comfort of my boudoir, I am. Julia, even though it's not yet properly installed. Yay for new TV! Yay, indeed; this is a 20" flat screen Sansui from Frye's and takes up no room at all on the table, which is nice. Better sound, better image, and no wasted electricity; it uses less in use than the old CRT did in standby mode. it's still quite a lot too low, though, and a careful measurement says it will be way too high if I switch the tables around, so that's right out. Last night was officially the date we should have shut the windows at sunset; it took me a very long time to warm the bed sufficiently to get to sleep. Julia, only sneezed once this morning, which is progress

I hope everyone is well! Brrrrrrrr....autumn blew in with a vengeance last night. The wind howled all night long. Was great sleeping weather, tho! It's currently 55 degrees, windy and the sun is trying to peak out of the clouds. Am sooooo glad I got 18 holes of golf in yesterday - which was warm and gorgeous. Shot decently - even parred a couple of holes. Hate to see summer go. It's a good thing autumn is my favorite season - with my favorite holiday, Halloween. Takes the edge off the thought of winter and no golf for 4 months. Caught up on some TV this weekend. Loved Flash Forward! Definitely putting on my must see list. Medium and Numbers were both good - so they are staying on my list. Cougartown - loved the son, but the show is a mess. Dollhouse - Amy Acker owned the show Friday night. I was a bit confused as to what was going on at first. Dunno. Need to rewatch. I wish that they had aired the 13th episode. And where is the funny? I miss the funny. Morning temp here was 71 and that's the high for the day. Hoorah! (68/52 is very welcomed weather around these parts.) But I know Allie and Carolyn can NOT be thrilled with the "overcast, windy, scattered showers (i.e. gray, gray, gray) high of 56 and low of 44. I head to Chicago on Thursday and am very excited to sleep at my SILs with all her windows open in the 40 degree weather -- heaven! Jim has bad fall allergies and doesn't like to have our windows open at night. And I'd far rather pack bluejeans and sweaters than shorts and sleeveless tops. PLUS! I'll be in Chicago for the big OLYMPICS announcement. So either euphoria or gloom. I was suddenly struck by a burning need to go to the museum of the Art Institute... Julia, honestly, my Art Museum need is woefully underserved

For those who have a weakness for McShep pureand simple, McSmooch is open for Business. Every year, McShep Match fails to please, with stories tending towards overwritten melodrama and formulaic sex scenes which I I've taken to skipping; McSmooch is almost always full of fun little glimpses of bad knitting and touching reunions after stupid Pegasus rituals, and sticks mostly to R and below. I will inevitably be recommending a few, but anyone with time to fillcan go there and find new stuff. Julia, McShep Match has been a flop for me three years in a row.

cooooooome to kenya... weeee've got liiiiioons...... But do the lions have birth certificates? One Artgirlz kit finished, one in progress, two more to go this week. I still need to do something about birthday money representations by Thursday morning - I'm thinking Chinese hell money with appropriate modifications, since I actually have some hell money and was able to lay my hands on it.

We could meet for late breakfast or lunch if you are close. www.glendalelakes.com/

So. This Saturday, my friends and I stumbled across thiswhile looking for this. Since both have been in my brain all weekend, particularly the bit about the narwhals being the Jedi of the seas, I'm passing them on to you like a chirpy happy cheerful plague. This is by the same deviant who gave us the "badgers badgers badgers badgers badgers badgers badgers..." meme. Enjoy!

The lions likely do, but god knows about the tigers.
