Anya ,'Dirty Girls'
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.
Which reminds me, I want to go and see who owned my house in 1900, 1910, et cetera. Trying to imagine the lives of the people who lived here through the years.
I'm in awe, Hil. I thought I was pretty clever when I found the Census records for my grandparents and aunt in 1940....
There are entirely too many people named Ephraim Hixson in my tree for my peace of mind, especially since they all seem to have married a Margaret at least once. And don't get me started on men surviving a marriage to one Mary Ann only to turn around and marry another Mary Ann. I mean sure, it saves on monogramming linens and you don't have to worry about calling out the wrong name at interesting moments, but c'mon now....
Bravo, Hil! We bow before your geneaology-fu!
Today is a busy day: I'm taking Dad to church & then to brunch, then a bike ride with my sister, and then we're going to see Twenty Feet from Stardom at the brewpub theater. I'm looking forward to checking out the food at this place: so far all I've had is beer and popcorn.
Tomorrow I need to re-start the job hunt, woo and hoo. SIGH.
So I underestimated how many beets I actually had, but I think the soup is still delicious.
Does that mean you have more soup than planned, or still have beets?
So I underestimated how many beets I actually had
0, the number of times I've made that mistake.
I meant overestimated! It means I have soup that isn't that beet-y.
Ooh, that Jamaican woman on the Voice is great. (Side note: Reality TV really is the vanguard of diversity on TV. No one would cast her to play a Jamaican on a scripted show. Ditto this woman from Supermarket Superstar.)
Ooh, that Jamaican woman on the Voice is great
Apparently Jamaica is terribly excited and also are simultaneously wondering why a woman who's so famous to them is climbing up from the bottom, but such is the paradox of elsewhere.
You don't need to be at the bottom to be on the show, just unsigned. A while ago, there was a woman whose video was inescapable (I thought) on VH1 a year earlier, but got dropped by her label. She didn't make it far on the show, either.
And E.G. Dailey! She's been in the business for years, although the last time she sang was probably in the '80s.
