It’s interesting. You basically see the love story told by way of Joel’s memories as they are being erased. Very non-linear and surreal.
well? since youse guys hid the wet bar, there ain’t much reason to show up now is there? and you let Inflatable Ingrid fly away....
Who hid it? It’s right where it always was. The janitor keeps taking Ingrid to the broom closet.
No, I have plenty of money in my bank account. It's not like they could wipe me out electronically by entering a remote command.
Whooops! (Good thing they closed Gitmo. Wouldn't want to go there.)
Gitmo has some nice digs......paradise island style.
Brilliant!
I like the suna reference!
Thanks. You have excellent taste. (Or you’re high on Aleve.)
Suna as a rhyme for Kahuna is LOL funny.
last i heard of ingrid, after she was almost hit by that plane, was that the russians were using her as a whitewater raft in their annual rafting contest...
as for the wet bar, they started using stemmed glasses again...(sigh!)
...the red neck look is in.
It is cloudy and almost cool outside-I only came home from the woods because I have to research a product for a job...
And that word is a favorite of mine-a character in a favorite book uses it with sarcasm...
All those convenient lacunae
In AG Holder’s recollection
Were fabricated to assist him
In avoiding certain detection
And it worked for quite awhile,
His minions spied on the press-
Now he’s busted-how far it went
Is anyone’s educated guess
Now everything feels hinky
To Rosen, AP and their kin-
They know to trust big brother
Means that you will never win...
I saw those in the Skymall catalog!
I was going to, one of these days, show them off in class. but you beat me to it.
It’s actually some sort of glass/ceramic. It just looks like a red Solo cup.
Yesterday, I was able to do a good thing for a fellow contractor-he was about to be stiffed by a dishonest and greedy person who did me that bad turn a few years ago. A heads-up, a little info-he got paid right now in full, and voila, sinless revenge that left me smiling...
Have you seen Silver Linings Playbook yet? Language is not safe for kids but there is nothing gratuitous.
We babysat last night for my nephew: 3 little girls, 11, 3, and 1. Haven’t done that in years but we’re building family relationships with them. They were two broken kids who found each other and have amazingly risen above the horrible family circumstances they both endured as kids. I’m so pleased to see what they have become and their kids are darling.
Can’t say I have. I don’t normally watch romances.
