I love Strictly Ballroom, Ouise-- I am an unabashed Baz Luhrmann fangirl and am tapping my foot impatiently for November to arrive so I can go see Australia.

And that version of Time After Time is one of the prettiest interpretations of it, I think.

~ma on the migraine, Sue. I still get them on occasion although nowhere near as bad as I used to before I had kids, oddly enough.

Happy birthday sarameg!

ma~~~ to the lucy dog

I-9 is the form that proves you're legal to work in the US. Usually you provide a passport OR a DL and Soc Sec card.

Shrift, that sounds an awful lot like a temp agency.

Edited cos I know the difference between your and you're.

this.

I'm inquiring as to why I need to fill out the forms, because I thought I was just coming in to meet with a recruiter. I never agreed to work for them.

I was thinking of going more obviously auburn again, but I think that'll wait until after RWA National, because I don't think auburn will look as good with my gown.

That's not shallow, that's SENSIBLE.

But then, a hot bus will be just as miserable.

Fingers crossed for a bus with air conditioning.

I'm learning Eva Cassidy's version, which I like even more.

I always enjoy Strictly Ballroom, but it did make me feel old - this time I was ogling Fran's dad instead of Scott. (Ok, maybe it was in addition to the Scott ogling.)

Nothing wrong wit' dat. Fran's dad has got that whole swarthy thing going on. But Scott... that scene backstage when they're dancing to "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps."

::goes off to happy place::

ahem

And anything Eva Cassidy just breaks my heart. Her version of "Fields of Gold" slays me and "Time is a Healer" leaves me a weepy mess. (Didn't stop me from using it on the songtrack for the next book, precisely because of the weep-factor. I'm so easy.)

I bet it's a temp agency.

I may have to cancel my appointment and forget to reschedule.
