HAPPY FRIDAY!!
Fair.
Fair-Well.
:D
I'm watching the "funeral" for Arafat. No sense of civil decorum to be seen.
Are they burying him face-down wrapped in pig skin?
Early morning laundry...and then off to work.
Good morning! Woo-hoo, it's Friday!
OT and 2J, you'd find this interesting...recently someone started a little "Irish" pub and grill on the edge of town (it's really tiny, but you do what ya can), and last week Bilbo asked them if we could start a session there. They had no idea what a session was, but said that we could come down if we wanted to. Last night was the first night. It had high and low points, mostly because the Monday night group showed up and they can't or aren't willing to play things at even a bouncy speed, and some of them aren't always in tune or on rhythm. I guess it's just the beginning factor, but honestly, if you can't at least play in the right timing with others at least on the slow tunes, you should listen for a bit...IMO. We're supposed to be playing together, not just sort of at the same time. And I've done my share of listening. But anyway...some of us stayed just a bit later, and a woman who is a REALLY good mandolinist of the style I most enjoy was there, so me and Jim and Bilbo played with her for half an hour or more, just saying, "Hey, do you know...?" and playing that tune. It was great!
So...we don't have an officialy scheduled "next time", but I think it could happen. Hope so!
But...for the NaNoers...that's why I didn't get much writing in. And why I'm tired today, 'cause I stayed up TRYING to get writing in.
~sip~
I'm kinda curious about what kind of craziness is going on, but don't have TV.
And maybe I'm better off not seeing!
See ya soon indeed! Safe travels, keep us posted on the details of when you'll arrive here!
The Arafat thing was nuts..... been watching while I had my first coffee.
It was so crazy then the helicopters landed that they fought the crowd an hour just trying to get the casket to the grave site. I was watching and it seemed for awhile the crowd actually got the casket away from the security guys and passed it around. I was half expecting him to get dumped onto the ground. Chaos, automatic weapons fire in the air, people grabbing at the casket and the flag that was originally on it was lost a few times.
It was so nuts they dropped their whole itinerary of speakers and a planned moment of silence (Ha!) and just buried him without ceremony.

Wow.
I can't even imagine something like that happening here!
I always forget SOMETHING.
Just what I'm never show.
Heh, sounds like no more than he deserved. Personally, I'd have dropped his carcass into the sea on the way over from Paris.
Morning all! Oh, it's so nice to have a computer again.
*reads own post*
D'oh!
Show = sure..
Coffee hasn't kicked in yet.
Don't feel bad about being behind, Rosie (are you actually behind?). We can encourage each other this weekend!
Hussy ;~D
