I’m still here hosting for a bit, and after that it’s Be Your Own Host until CabinGirl takes over on Friday. And speaking of CabinGirl, did she start a good thing with the Daily News Bucket, or what?!
We still have some cherry pie left. . .
Oh, and the answer to that is a resounding YES!
Also, thanks to AndiF for our lovely neon sign.
Are you trying to make me delurk? 🙂
I’m ready for some pie now…
Gotcha. But really, CG, I think we needed that around here and it’s obvious that people have responded in a big way. I don’t know if I’ve ever commented on one of them, but I read a lot of the entries. And I think it’s really cool that a couple of times other people have just jumped in to do it.
Some of us simply cannot contain ourselves.
Sorry about that 🙂
Don’t be sorry! I was delighted! REALLY!
Just kidding. I know.
I think you gave the rules – if it is not there by 7.30 or 8 – anyone feel free.
And it is a great tool. Wish I had the time to follow all the links. Today, there was none and now I’m too tired and lazy. Calling it a day early tonight..
I know a lot of people had been wanting to have something like that. And I am glad that other people are jumping in to post them too!
For anybody who moght have missed that part of it, if the News Bucket isn’t up by 7:30-8:00 AM ET, feel free to jump in and post it that day.
Keep scrolling ask, keep scrolling..
It was a gaping maw of need, and while many of us may have contemplated it, you did something about it!
If I am ever up at such an ungodly hour and on here to make one, I might call it the news tureen, though. Or maybe the news samovar. Or the news urn. Or the …..
{{{{{{GONG}}}}}}}
uh-oh, it looks like I am being dragged unceremoniously out of the posting window, but
Thanks

Gir———
how veddy Mr. Nivenish, Duct.
I’m lovin’ the News Bucket. Wonderful idea!
to take the chill off your evening.

Whoa. Blessed Creator, that’s stunning. Absolutely magnificent.
Thank you for sharing this beauty on a perfectly dismal day, Andi. You continually remind me of how wide — and giving — the world is beyond my wintry little corner.
I’m glad to contribute. Now if only I could help you figure out how to keep your books around when you move.
Thank you! Unfortunately, the current priority is figuring out where I’m going: neither the living space nor where it will be are fully decided yet. The only certain thing is that I simply can’t spend another winter in my current domicile. It’s simply a sieve.
I’m sure I’ll keep most of the books with me — or at least in my possession — one way or another, though, regardless. At least I’ll try my best.
I hope you find a place with no leaks, reliable plumbing, lots of bookshelves, and great views.
Thank you! Always appreciate good wishes. I’m sure I can take care of most of this, as I’ll likely be constructing it myself, with the help of a few other hands.
Needless to say, I’ll be going ultra-rustic. It’s chic, you know 😉
I can tell that ultra-rustic and chic would work for you but I think I’ll stick with my nearly-rustic which fits my chic turned inside status.
I certainly hear you, Andi. I’ve seen photos of your place & it seems completely idyllic to me. Quite a wonderful home, in a perfect setting.
No choice on my end, really. C’est la vie boheme 😉
Hi!
Well, aren’t you just the talkative one? You must be busy with something else tonight.
It’s like your life just flashed across my eyes.
[but at least I can guess the joke]
Oh it wasn’t a joke.
Do you want to be kewl?
Ne-vah — it’s too much pressure 😉
email alert!!!
One more email (and yes, I did see the one you just sent)
xxoo
because the time stamps on Boo don’t match the real time and so I can’t be sure when you typed this versus when you sent the last email.
By a weird coincidence, I did actually just send a message — but no rush on this one. (and check out the links at Eat 4 Today)
I’m looking at E4T — which links?
thinkin’ about Kansas tonight!
but I have my settings as “Flat”, so I don’t get all that nesting stuff.
Waiting for the spouse to get home so I can send him out again to get dinner — I’m too shnuffly to cook. And I was actually going to make Hawaiian Pizza and Caesar salad tonight. 🙁 Oh well — everything’ll keep till tomorrow. Now I need to go get more water; I’m feeling really dried out right now, and need to rehydrate…
By all means, keep hydrated, Cali! It’s one of the very best things you can do for yourself.
(If only I could follow my own advice. Alas, for me ‘hydrated’ means coffee that’s only half mud.)
Actually had a glass of light white grape juice — at least got some vitamins too.
Will be off-line for most of the evening — almost time for Sharks hockey… 🙂
Hi everyone,
Busy, busy lately. Haven’t had much time to come by. Hell of a day at work and seemingly bad news on Alito’s confirmation.
Good to be home and an open beer in hand.
I just posted a question in judybrownie’s entry just below. Can anyone help?
Ask, joan reports has a comment close to the top of this thread that might address your question.
Thanks ww,
joan reports’ comment in that diary was partially what inspired my question. But I did not follow the link in the comment, where I now see that it is all explained. Still hope!
I found it pretty interesting too. As far as I’m concerned, absolutely nothing’s written in stone as of yet.
A heron bundles himself out of the wind, and surveys the shore. This was shot by holding our little camera up to the eyepiece of a small telescope.
What are you thinking, Mr. Byrd? What on earth are you thinking?
Perhaps he was in a fowl mood.
Either way, he managed to put me in one.
That’s a beautiful shot, Gooserock.
No ‘faux leopard’ in sight, either.
I’m sorry to being this up here, but did you guys see this crap?
pile of crap are you talking about? That one, or the retaliation?
I need to sign-off before I write bad, bad words.
The whole thing…plus another “reality-based” one to the left of those two…I’m going to bed.
Both of them leave me speechless. I have just erased several sentences that probably had the same words in them that you refrained from writing, ManE. You have set a good example. I’m going to stop now, too.
Hey!!!
email –!!!
but we’re all out of Drambuie!
I hope you find someone to stay up and not sip Drambuie with you but I’m off to bed.
If you like licorice flavored beverages that you can sip slowly, you might enjoy Ouzo!
I just made a major announcement over on the front page story.
OK Night owls…
time for a break and a massive quantity of yer chemical of choice. Just finished expressing my opinion to the Gang of 8 plus a long missive exhorting Sen Byrd to honor his pledge of Leadership, Character and Commitment…BAH! It ain’t over till it’s over amd we’ve all got until Monday @ 4:30 est to keep on them.
Tomorrow will have to do…as for tonight I gotta reset the meter…
Whazup?
Peace
Hi all. Just got back from an amazing play “I Am My Own Wife” at the St. Louis Repertory Theater (on the campus of Webster University Katiebird). One actor — at least 20 parts. I couldn’t count them all. Main characters are a gay writer for newsweek interviewing a german transvestite who lived through the third reich and communism “in heels”. It outstanding. I’m in awe of this actor — Arnie Burton.
Wow. Frankly, that sounds fascinating, maryb. The actor must be a very talented individual. Glad you enjoyed it!
I brought the program home with me so I could read the notes. He played 33 parts. And apparently the play is based on a true story.
It seems this play won the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award for best play in 2004. Can’t believe I never heard of it.
I’m afraid I haven’t heard of it either. Then again, I’m hardly in touch with the pulse of culture any more.
What a fascinating story! Thanks for sharing it. Amazing, really ..
Award, in the category of blogs that deserve wider recognition.
I hope you will all vote for me. If elected, I pledge to work hard to maintain the same standard of neglect that has long been a proud hallmark of Enemy of the State, and of course if you vote for me, you will have shinier and more manageable hair and quite possibly wider feet and fresh breath, and as always, perfect rice every time.
This message was approved by me.
Ok, will do…I’ve always harbored a secret desire-so secret I didn’t realize it until you mentioned it-for wider feet.
Hey, that is grand!! May I vote for you without having to get the wider feet?
Wonderful, DTF.
Continued neglect on the basis of a committed vote? Excellent — just what I’m used to! Wider, fresher hair? More manageable feet and perfectly shiny breath? Count me in!
I guess that was the closest category to “most neglected blog”? 🙂
I’m getting quite a kick out of listening to Boston Joe, discussing his book, Direct Action. They’re talking about patriot act, how juries work, fears that the jury system, right to jury trial is being taken away, arrests without being charged, Guantanamo, incomprehensible to an attorney.
Chill in the air for people on the left, who are critical of the government… impacts on freedom of speech,
GO JOE!
Cool-thanks for the update-I couldn’t begin to figure out how to try and see if I could somehow find the station on the computer.
didn’t think about giving you a link for that until too late, and not sure they have a live link, and then I’m at my dial-up location, so very frustrating to get anything done.
Next time I’ll plot ahead of time. NSA spooks must have been loose in the house though, one old cassette recorder ate the tape, the backup running symultaneously developed terrible crackling and lost audio… might have gotten 10-15 minutes on the cackler.
If B Joe gets another interview I’ll be back in the big city, so we’ll see if we can find a live link.
I should see if I could get Ed Schultz to interview him. Our local radio station KFGO bumped in starting in Feb. Very weird! Details at http://www.in-forum.com
that should be “bumped him” as in cancelled the show, the other ones that carry him in Fargo don’t come in well in the city.
live blogging at 31.2K ackkk!
(book) I was writing in a pop culture form, trying to reach the masses,
After 9-11, Ari Fletcher…”You have to watch what you say.” Used to be Soviet Union where you have to watch what you say.
“Loose lips sink ships.”
Remember, Hitler was a jerk, but he was no Bid Laden.
Nobody has ever suffered under threat as America now suffers.
B Joe: …environmental issues… what’s going on with the environment… I don’t think that’s a partisan issue, book deals with extremist on both sides.
Hey bro. How did that sound? Loved your friend John Strand. What a considerate host. Had a blast. Hard to judge how it sounds when you are talking though. I’m bushed. Going to bed. Let me know what you thought.
I thought it was a great interview. You sounded great too… your “style” of speaking will go over well in ND, spend a couple of days here and we’ll have you a PhD in YaYouBetcha applications.
I’ll try to get an email off too.
Why not give Eddie Schultz a call, ref J Strand interview, ya might get on his nation-wide program… next best thing to Oprah…
post it tomorrow too.
I see I missed a fun diary last night. Once you’ve got Nancy’s full website done, we should ask Susan to do an open thread with it as her theme. Great way to do a grand opening.
come over here to the new cafe?
On my way. See ya over there, kb.
