It's 19F here tonight (that's -7C). I was cowardly and let a friend walk home rather than get dressed and drive her home. In my defense, I'm so tired I'm almost shaking....
'Sleeper'
Natter 55: It's the 55th Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm full of envy towards the cooking people. I want my kitchen back! Sigh.
I'd also tell the director to lighten up.
Well, in context it didn't seem harsh or picky--more that he was surprised when one of the new choir members asked and was just thinking aloud to figure out what would be appropriate attire.
I'd think you could wear royal blue with either black or brown, but I'm pretty sure megan walker would say not the black.
A friend offered me a ride home tonight, but we over shot and I ended up having to get on the train in Manhattan. Ah well.
The Snow Demons (summoned, as usual, by Jilli*) are only in Seattle so far.
* If we repeat it often enough, it's a fact, right?
Lies! Lies! I did not summon the Snow Demons.
I'd wear the black pants.
Not so much with the snowpocalypse here. Still, a good several inches. We made it to DH's company party and I'm really, really hoping we win one of the dozen Wiis they were giving away as door prizes.
Tonight I went out with a friend who was in town. I ended up chatting with a lady, a little bit older than me, who had come to the bar with a friend of the out-of-towner. We agreed about the violence in today's movies, then I found that she might have different tastes from me (incidentally, she loved Lars and the Real Girl, scrappy). Then, conversation turned to my engagement. Marriage was for the birds, she said; not getting pre-nuptial was a mistake. She and I went on for nearly a half hour about whether or not I should get married. I assured her that I was not convinced by her experience with divorce and battles with her ex.
And around the time she departed and I invited her to our wedding and our 30th anniversary, I found out she used to be married to Jack Welch: [link] and maybe she might know what she was talking about.
That is something that only happens in New York.
$35,000 a month was inadequate? WTF?
* If we repeat it often enough, it's a fact, right?
Lies! Lies! I did not summon the Snow Demons.I was being truthy?
and maybe she might know what she was talking about.Wow. Yeah. What a strange conversation to have with her.
35,000 a month was inadequate? WTF?I mean, the numbers involved boggle me, but given their net worth...
I'll volunteer to try to get along on that. But then I'd need a larger house to have adequate room for the staff....
