And I can see why you might feel that way...like a murder po-lice in a pink shirt.

erika, I love the way you write. [Edit: ha! And Corwood, too!]

Timelies.

The hair talk reminds me that I need to make a hair appointment. (No major changes -- just getting rid of split ends and neatening up the layers.)

I woke up at about 1 today. Still not really feeling fully awake.

How did Emmet take it?

He picked her up and carefully carried her off the ferry, all the way up the gangway to the docks. Then he said, "My arms are getting tired." So I took Em. Then he shook his arms twice and said, "Okay" and I was obliged to give her back.

Hil! So very many congratulations on your exam! Not that I was surprised, but still, I was extremely happy for you!

[Edit:

Then he shook his arms twice and said, "Okay"

OK, that's just lovely.]

Emmett is VERY sweet to Em. If you guys lived closer, I would absolutely trust him to keep an eye on her for short periods of time.

Vortex? The color of that wrap thing you had for the prom was gorgeous on you. But even that simple t-shirt you wore on the evening before, perhaps? The light-blue one? That color looked amazing on you, too.

thanks, Nilly! I don't generally like bright colors, but turquoise (the blue) was an exception (mostly because I liked the earrings :) ). The green wrap thing was an impulse purchase, but I love it. I wore it when my parents took me out to dinner for my birthday, and my mother was covetous.

Yeah, it was really sweet to see Emmett with Em. Maybe especially so in the context of the Halloweenie.

From the IMDB:

Lewis To Direct 'Nutty Professor' Musical

Veteran comedian Jerry Lewis is directing a new musical based on this 1963 film The Nutty Professor. The 80-year-old will not perform in the show, but will produce and direct the play, which he plans to bring to Broadway, New York in 2008. The star directed, wrote and starred in the original Nutty Professor film and plans to stick closely to the script. He explains, "You can't reinvent the character. The dual role of Jekyll and Hyde made the film. If you're looking to make it different, you'll ruin it." Lewis has cast unknown actor Michael Andrews in the lead role, after seeing him perform at a private function.

Oh, Nilly. Thanks, but I totally stole that. Eh, more like boosted, from "The Wire". Jimmy sees his partner wearing a pink shirt to work and says "Takes a brave man to wear a pink shirt in Homicide."

And his partner says "Yeah, it does."(Because he's usually quite mellow about putting up with Jimmy's crap)

But Jimmy keeps it up and says "Or a familiarity with alternative lifestyles."(i.e. being gay) But I'm totally flattered that you thought that was mine.

I don't generally like bright colors

You looked so lively, they worked great (um, to my eyes). Strangely enough, several of my friends - all looking very different from each other, with very different comlexions - got recently shirts of a similar shade to that turquoise, and it looked great on each and every one of them.

I totally stole that

Maybe you stole the idea behind it. But the way the sentence was written was entirely your own. At least to my eyes.
