You'll be meeting 27 patients by pretty waterfalls??

DixieGal · 10-23-2008, 03:15 PM

OK, it's finished! Now what shall I do? Oh! I know! I'll check and see what's happening at MR...

What's this about tossing 27 patients over a waterfall?

I don't so much do the air drums, but I need my "personal space" cause I break out into high kicks and anybody nearby might get a broken jaw. Great song!

I like this one better.

I'm packing for the weekend. I'm ging to Paris tomorrow for the meet-up on Sauturday. Packing always makes me bad-tempered.

oh boy, me too. my sympathies.

on a purely egotistical note i'm glad you're packing though because i'll be happy to see you again.

Greg Anos · 10-23-2008, 06:59 PM

Starting to fix the evening meal. Chicken aux fine herbes, seasoned vermicelli with tomato sauce, and a green salad. Served with a nice off-dry riesling wine....

And it will be lovely to see you too, Zelda. At the moment I'm searching for a tiny French dictionary, which seems to have vanished into a black hole. If I could find one for my Reader then it would save a lot of trouble. I think that I will stop looking and just make up any words I can't remember.

that sounds like a good plan. french people do that in english all the time. and after a few drinks no-one will notice the difference anyway. you want me to lend you my Collins Gem ? it's pretty tiny. i can lend you one in German too if you like. (sadly i don't have one for your reader, but if *you* find one i'm interested).

Good design does not compromise on comfort.

The "moulded shell seat has a high, flexible back, a deep seat pocket and a waterfall seat edge to promote seating for extended periods of time". Also, to quote from elsewhere, "The organically-formed shell is connected to the metal frame using shock mounts, resulting in a comfortable seat even over long periods". Aesthetically speaking, it will also look totally zhooshy against a simple, minimalist, one-draw, gloss-white ("two-pac") desk.

It also reminds me of school chairs, and I always thought them comfortable. I've always hated "office chairs" - I can never sit still on them.

Have you tried Midnight Oil's Power and the Passion? The drum solo (at about 2:30 in the link) is magnificent, and involves a smashing glass at the end - convenient if you're having a bevvy during your air-drum solo.

I like Massimo's icecream, most any flavour. I'm partial to the Chocolate Fondant, the White Chocolate, the Cinnamon, the Pistachio, the Amaretto and the Rocher. The chocolate chip is nice too. So's the coffee. A waffle-cone with white chocolate and mango sorbet is a lovely combination to eat on the beach during a summer sunset. Macadamia nut is nice as well. Okay, basically all of Massimo's icecream. He's making some across the road at the moment - I can smell the caramel being made (oh yeah, the caramel icecream's nice too - borderline "toffee" flavour).

No. That's wrong. That is awful. I hate that ad. I hate it more than I hate "Australia's Next Top Model". I hate it more than I hate that molded plastic packaging you can't get your purchase out of without a circular saw. I nearly hate it as much as I hate that Will Ferrell keeps making movies, and that people still keep going to watch them. It is a vile, pointless abomination of an ad' - a great idea, well-made, but with absolutely no connection to the product, no conceivable purpose, but even then failing to even enjoy the benefits of utter absurdity. I hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it....

(I am also possibly not being rational about this...but you knew that already, pshrynk

)

I am currently watching my dogs sitting at the top of the front stairs waiting for OtherDad to return from the dentist. I'm probably due for a dental checkup myself - it's every 25 years you go for one, isn't it?

Cheers,
Marc

Stirring and boiling together pureed, local strawberries and half a cup of sugar (with some strawberries spare for "chunks") to make icecream tonight.

Also listening and dancing around like a mad eejit to:

"I guarantee you and me gonna get down funky tonight"

Cheers,
Marc

zelda_pinwheel · 10-24-2008, 09:00 AM

feeling glad i don't have to renew my passport until 2015 : the cost of a french adult passport (biometric, valid 10 years) is about to be raised from 60€ to 89€. o_O

Love the drums and percussion on this!! Definitely woke ME up, on a Friday morning. (err, noon) Hey, save me some of that ice cream -- it sounds yummy too!

I've come to Paris for the meet-up tomorrow, and I'm in my hotel watching the police arresting some poor lad outside.

so you finished packing then ?

(lovely spectacle for your evening

hope it improves soon. the bd magenta is always so lively, isn't it ? i used to live in an appartment with windows opening onto it. it's never boring, that's for sure. one morning i woke up really early because i heard something strange, realised abruptly the strange sound was actually dead silence, and discovered they'd closed the street to automobile traffic for a bicycle race.)
