Tell us about your Great Day?

[Black Swan]

Well, good thing that he is sleeping. :)

 

[Bukfan]

All I know is Ponder is going to be pissed that you posted that picture of him...

I don't think so. He actually looks great in this photo with the wig on. :D

 

[Ponder]

"I will bury all of you!"

 

[Stavrogin]

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.:D

 

[Ponder]

There is only one side of the bed.
Black Swan and I are sleeping together in a self made box bed.

 

[hoochmonkey9]

very cozy.

I can tell by the beam on the left that this house isn't exactly new. nice.

 

[Black Swan]

Yeah, and I need to wear the national costume!

 

[hoochmonkey9]

ha! I think I dated her back in the '90s. or rather, she dated me.

 

[justine]

two years ago today, i stepped off a plane in the US for the first time. i also met my husband in person for the first time. so that was probably one of my Greatest Days.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Justine, thank you for getting us back to your very great day. Even me hearing about that day of yours at that time was heart warming, to all of us. Well, most of us.

Man, that was two years ago already? I need to hit the TiVo pause button on my life. It's going by too fast.

 

[justine]

i know, right? but it's the same as any other event - it feels like it happened last week and it also feels like it happened 10 years ago. it's time, man, time.

I've got my train tickets for the upcoming Bukowski Symposium: Andernach here I am! :D

 

[mjp]

Why do I have the feeling that the next post in this thread will be Roni regretfully announcing the cancellation of this year's symposium?

 

[esart]

happy 2 year anniversary justine!

Don't be jealous, sweetie.

Please close that amazing Tom Cruise forbidden bio, wear your glamorous five toe shoes and go put some roses on Buk's grave for me.

 

[justine]

happy 2 year anniversary justine!

thanks! it's been crazy times, but i feel like maybe now things are finally starting to settle down.

Enjoy yourself. The company of roni, cirerita and David should prove interesting. Take bail money!

 

[Ambreen]

Thanks, Stav. :o

Two pieces of mail arrived today that I was really glad to see. My Lollapalooza ticket and a long-awaited insurance settlement check. Also, the marinade I copied from Justine worked out great and dinner was fantastic.

Mondays like these don't come around very often.

Dave wins.

 

[justine]

how was the texture of the tofu? did you like it?

 

[number6horse]

Yes - it held up great !

it's nice to see an empty bottle of bordeaux wine on the table, when you have a second one.

After a restless night and some early morning turmoil and confusion about work I took a 2 hour nap. It was perfect with a clear dream in color I could understand. After a brief telephone conversation informing me of more work I went down stairs to find a book had arrived safely. That brought great relief after the mailman just lost one a month ago.
Now if this day could just stay on course like this I'll be a happy man.

The book is Scarlet and it's easy reading.

Yesterday I sold a used truck that had a $1000.00 bonus. The best part was my boss's brother dropped the customer which means I didn't have to split the deal. It felt good to know I still have what it takes. I had been wondering if I was washed up or something.

 

[zenguru]

Today I wrote a bunch of stuff in my journal while sipping hot apple cider at the cafe. Very therapeutic. Bought a couple Stephen King short story collections and a bag of sweet potato chips. Now I'm reading through Betting On The Muse!

 

[mjp]

I bought a truck yesterday, but I think I paid a thousand dollars too much. Well, what are you gonna do.

 

[Black Swan]

My son and I went to see a great film, that was not Hollywood. It was Cinema!
The film is "Incendies". I need to say that it has nothing to do with firemen.
I recommend the film to all. Although it is in french, we saw it with english subtitles, and the subs did not get in the way.
It is about peace, through the life of a brave mother. It is a contemporary exploration of the ugly dialogue between extremists and their actions.
It was done in a subtle manner.
We also enjoyed the key lime pie at Rockaberrry with good coffee.

a bag of sweet potato chips.

Does it explain your avatar?

I had a VERY slow weekend, slow and quiet. But at 1am last night, NBA TV was showing all the slam dunk contests since like 1986. JORDAN had some great moments, but watching an 18 year old Kobe Bryant, fresh OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL do this.... Well, it made my weekend. Sure, sure, maybe someday some other 18 year old kid out of high school will do it, but it's been 13 years since this happened, and, well no 18yr old has done it since. At least not during the slam dunk contest. It's interesting to see his cockiness, since this was before he had done anything in the nba, it's his rookie year. But I guess he already knew he'd be chasing Jordan for all his accolades at some point.
