the cutest baby i ever did see

i like seeing erika and david.  i feel slightly more relaxed.  i heart them.

my horoscope tells me that i need some rest.

i just finished a 40+ hour work week.  which would not be such a feat if it were not retail.  at christmas.  with near freezing temperatures all through the entirety of the front end. 

but i will get to see erika and david tomorrow, and stephanie is visiting me and brought this really great cd that we are listening to, bell orchestre. 

i have more, like photos to put up, but i'm just too tired to do a whole lot of anything anymore.

so the fab news is, i am pretty much trained to work over at the photo lab.  and laron is leaving to go to school in north dakota, so chances are i will pretty much get to work over there starting in january.  also, my photo lab pal owen is pretty much the coolest person at target, and we are going to talk portfolios, and he burned a cd for me because we were talking about music yesterday.  also, i will probably get a little overtime this week.

the bad news is that i spent ten hours at work today, and tomorrow looks to be pretty much the same.  and i am too tired to do much of anything, and i'm only halfway done with the historian, which is due on monday.

christmas countdown: ten-ish days.

i need...

someone with a copy of wet hot american summer to go look at the credits and tell me the title of the song that plays at the very beginning, when the counselors are partying it up by the campfire.  the internet is no help at all, and if i do not find out, I WILL LOSE THE REMAINS OF MY SANITY!

thank you.

death by office supplies

today was the quietest day ever at work, owing to the bad weather, so i filled time by getting some paper out and since some VERY NICE PERSON decided to put it on the top shelf, i was nearly killed by a box with ten reams of paper.  honestly, if i am to die because some renegade stapler comes after me...i would much prefer it if it were a copy machine.

"It would be most inconvenient since I swore to loathe him for all eternity."

(this is a slightly compromised version of what i originally intended to say.  it took me longer to get home than i expected, and then i was tired, so now i can't remember everything i wanted to talk about.  you'll have to forgive me for that!)

last night i finally got to see pride & prejudice!  chelsea let me leave work 15 minutes early, and i went by myself, which is only something i would do for a movie such as this.  i had some reservations about keira knightley being lizzie bennet for some unkown reason, which i think i may have voiced to laura, but i don't know what i was so worried about.  she was fabulous!  and this matthew macfayden fellow as mr. darcy was a pretty good choice as well, although even if he had been bad i might still say that simply because he was very nice to look at.  and i loved judi dench as lady catherine, especially in the scene where she comes to confront lizzie about the rumours of her being engaged to darcy, and i love that lizzie just mouths off to her, i think that's one of my favorite parts of the whole book so i was so glad to see it!  (they cut that out of bride & prejudice, and i know it's very loosely based on the book so really, who would be surprised.  but since it was in the deleted scenes, that sort of consoled me.)  the guy who played mr. collins reminded me a little bit of tim curry as the butler in clue, i think it was the apparel, but i just had to keep laughing at him!

then there were the gorgeous shots of the english countryside.  oh my gosh, if they were trying to make me all wistful and senimental about england, they succeeded.  it even slightly made up for the fact that they ended with these really cheesy scenes with a sunrise, and the ending one with the whole "mrs. darcy" bit that kind of grossed me out.  really, though, that is probably the only thing i can think of to complain about.  overall though, i laughed quite a lot, which is good because it's supposed to be funny, and i just really liked it.

i want to go see it again, too!  but i also want to see the chronicles of narnia at some point this weekend, if at all possible, so i think i may have to make some priorities.  plus, i need to find someone who would be willing to go with me, because i have to say that it's very strange going by myself, even as anti-social as i am feeling.

(tee hee!)

the elven pirate-ninjas book club

wouldn't that be a fabulous name for a book club?  especially one dedicated to irreverence.  although it would be even funnier if it was a super-serious book club with a name like that.

and now, for something completely different...

let it snow

head gamez

i woke up in the middle of the night stuffed up and my ear hurting.  i couldn't find any pseudophedrine, even though i know i have some, so i took some benadryl allergy.  i figured even though it won't help the congestion, at least it'll knock me out.  and today my head hurts and is spinning, and i feel a lot like crap, but i will go to work anyway.  i could sleep for a week.

because work is the only thing i know

so, i am feeling very much not at all sane right now.  people who come into the store to return things are driving me up the wall even if it is only by the sheer numbers of them coming in.  and some of their requests...aiee!  and also, i really wish that people would not tell me their personal problems like the lady who was returning several hundred dollars of merchandise because her husband was ready to divorce her because of money issues.  for god's sakes, i had to try about six or seven credit cards that she owned to see if the stuff was on them, since she threw away her receipts since she didn't want her husband to know how much she spent.  wouldn't he find out anyway once the statement came in?  i do not understand.

i also keep hurting myself on things like the swift-tagger, in the drawers, on the shelf...that last one was this morning, and it was one of those shelves that is not actually attached but rests on those metal things, and the whole thing came down and was sitting on my head.  in the process, i lost my glasses and so i was trying not to move so i wouldn't break them, but i also was trying to prevent a huge tub of holds from crashing onto the floor.  that one was actually pretty amusing.

i am mostly just grouchy because i know that i have four more weeks of this.  and just broke the third wine glass in a week and a half.  mostly i don't feel bad about breaking them, because, ian, i told you not to leave them in my room!  i just hate having to clean up the mess.

also, i feel grouchy because i just plain feel stupid.  it's a combination of this dark dreariness that makes me sleepy all day long no matter what, and the fact that i just looked and i have read only four books the entire month of october.  and they were all young adult books, so it wasn't like i was re-reading jonathan strange and mr. norrell four times.  and this grogginess and bad temper are making things like a desire to work on any grad school applications completely dissipate.

countdown to christmas: 25 days.

the christmas countdown begins

last week in the lull before the christmas rush, my internet was not working.  and now, it works, and i will be at work for always and FOREVER.  and people are totally being bitchy too, that started at about 6:05 am on friday while i was in guest service watching all the idiots run into the store.  *sigh*  four weeks until christmas.

(although in my little home christmas is making me happy, with my tree and bob & betty all decked out, it's just the whole consumer thing that's getting me down in a big way.)

it's begun, the really fun part of working retail.  and even guest service makes me want to cry.  actually, it's defintely worse than cashiering.  yes, definitely worse...

friends don't waste wine when there's words to sell

OH. MY. GOD.

today was quite possibly the most drama filled day yet i have worked.  it was all around pretty shitty the way that people acted, and it wasn't even directly at me.  the first one was this woman whose recipt had expired and her two steamers (not vacuums) didn't work.  they were covered under warranty, but by the manucfacturer and not the store.  so she tried to get a refund from the store which we can't do because she had waited too long and so she would only be able to exchange them which i guess she didn't want to do.  nobody at all can override that particular function and the only thing we could do is give her the manufactuer's number which she said she already called and it would cost her $35 to send each of the two things in.  which she would get back, according to chelsea.  anyway, long story i know and the conclusion is that she stormed out, said she will never shop there again (which we get a lot) and left her two things there on the counter.

so then, less than ten minutes before the store closed this guy came in with a 32' plasma tv he had bought earlier in the day for $1500.  chelsea had just said that he might bring it back and that if he did we had to make sure to apply the 15% restocking fee since there was nothing wrong with it.  so anyway, before i did anything i told him that and he got all mad saying it was our fault because he thought it was hdtv capable but it wasn't, just hdtv ready (which it said RIGHT ON THE BOX THAT HE DIDN'T READ FOR HIS $1500 TV) and anyway.  so i called chelsea over who said the same thing, blah blah blah, and i guess he must have been rude while i was helping a customer, because then i heard her tell him off and say she was a manager and he needs to show her some respect and she would call someone else over, and he needed to show her respect too, and i was just like "haha!" in my head because i thought that was fabulous.  *takes a breath*  but then i started closing lanes, so i missed the end of all that,  i just couldn't believe it.  he looked like a college student buying this.  and he didn't read the box because we are supposedly completely knowledgeable of all the products we sell. 

right.

fucker.

so that was that, and i came home and accidently set off the smoke detector because someone hadn't cleaned out the toaster oven.  but i am a little better now.  ian left some reno 911 over here and even though i have seen most of these, they are improving my mood.

target related stories.

a) i had photo lab training today, and it was fun.  with a capital "f".  HOORAY FOR THAT!

b) last night i dreamed about target.  specifically, people i work with.  there's this one dude who sucks at guest service and all, and he's not very bright, and anyway, it is kind of pissing some people off and all.  but i had a dream that some people were trying to sign a petition so he wouldn't get fired.  and i refused to sign it.  strange dream.  i told jessica i dreamed about work and she laughed, and said that she dreams about it too, sometimes.

news. and stuff.

tomorrow i get to go in to train for photo lab.  this is super exciting.  and fun.  and i will get to hang out with jess and owen sometimes at work then.

i bought another cactus.  i named it el jimador.  because it is a cactus and all, but also because that is what derek was drinking the night that vera wang I died and i was drinking when i cried about it.

yay!  now tex, vera wang II, and bob and betty have a new friend!

i am disinclined to acquiesce to your request

if brenda is going to ignore the three, yes that's THREE availability forms i have filled out in the last two months, she should just say that to me.  and then i could say "fuck you, bitch!" except not really because i'm a huge wuss when it comes to telling people off.  which is why i'm still going in on days i say i can't work and why i'm still getting scheduled for them.  because apparantly she likes walking all over people.  and apparantly i am letting her.  so i work on sunday, when i vehemently am opposed to working on the DAY OF REST.  (being a pk you have to expect certain eventualities in me, including a resistance to work on sunday.)

last night i went to ian's party.  and got really drunk.  and called laura like five hundred times.  and then today i went to a wine tasting at hy-vee with him, melody and anna.  i tried about a dozen various wines, almost all of them were either rieslings or sparkling wines. it was pretty fabulous, but it was really crowded and hot.  i also got to eat fondue and jalapeno poppers.  this was all on top of two bowls of chili that i had just made and consumed.  nobody ever said i was starving to death.

in closing, a photograph of melody in my car after we went outside at hy-vee.  we were sitting outside, then it suddenly started to pour. 

new sky photos

i know, it's werd.

i love the smell of freshly printed paper.

autumn leaves

at least my sister loves me.

tonight i had my audition at kaplan.  not great, but better than i thought it would go.  we'll see within the next week.

afterwards, i saw amy tan speak at the englert.  very enjoyable, and i'm sure it would have been more so was i not so hungry.

now i'm eating shells and cheese that i bought iin a big economy-size box.  it came with a nice little target bowl.  aw.

next project: my portfolio.  yikes.

procrastinating

here is how i feel about my day: freakin' sweet!

my parents came and took me out to dinner, my internet has not shut down a million times, and kate came bringing the new lemony snicket, alias seasons 1, 3 and 4, and wet hot american summer.

and i'm gonna drink some wine!

hello, internets!

i love using "internets".  i love that midwestgrrl says it all the time.

i am back!  carey fixed my computer for me so now i can be online.  aim!  oh, how i missed you and my 200 away messages!  you are my friend!

everyone needs to watch freddie tonight (wednesday).  our pal cecil gooch will be making an appearance.  hooray!  that reminds me that i watched that hilary duff movie.  i suffered through her terrbile and distracting hair just to see a few minutes of cecil.  and i will eternally be made fun of by my co-workers for it.

halloween photos

yay halloween!

my wireless card does not seem to want to work, so i have not been ignoring my blog on purpose. i have halloween photos which i will post soon, i just want to finish my pumpkin first. i had a fabulous time saturday night getting drunk off of pink elephants and i ended up going to a total of four parties. the best one being the spanish department party where i danced with a spanish ta (at least that's what ian said, i was drunk, i just remember dancing with somebody) who complimented me. and you'd never guess that i ended up being a pirate. a pink pirate, nonetheless.

exciting news!

the wireless card that i ordered is currently in des moines, so it should get here tomorrow.  then i can begin doing things like looking up the names of actors that i can't remember and end up having to ask my friends about.  victor garber.  i won't forget that one ever again!

i heart diesel sweeties.

get me out of iowa!

if anyone is interested in buying any of my photography, it will go into the "give sarah a vacation" fund.  and everyone knows that christmas is less than three months away!

on the third day, there were pirates.

there's something fishy about this internet connection.  probably why the library posted a sign on it that maybe i shouldn't have ignored?

new photos in the sky section.  they're pretty spiffy, i'm pretty happy.  people at work were oohing and aahing over them.  i must be some kind of artistic genius.

the best part of having a credit card tied to my bank account is that i can do all of my banking online, including just transferring money to pay it off.  not that i should be using it anyway, but you know, good credit and all that.

i have two days off in a row today and tomorrow.  i was thinking about asking for a few hours today but decided to say screw that when i was at work ten hours last night.  corporate made a visit today so we spent three hours doing reshop and zoning yesterday.  which is a good couple hours more than usual.   i'm pretty happy with the job i did repackaging all those curtains though.

and i did all of my laundry today instead of just some of it so that's pretty fabulous.  i like having clean things.  and it's nice outside so i can open my window a little bit.  and it smells wonderful outside.  so i guess besides the internet thing, i'm having a pretty good day. 

photos are up!  it took so long to get them up i am out of time on the computer. sad, sad.  i miss everyone!

i guess my party was a success.  a glass was broken and i'm still finding pieces on my floor, i got almost no sleep, and my sister's drunken friends were loud and obnoxious until sometime around 5am.  i also have laundry to do even though i just did laundry since so many people were sleeping on my nasty floor.  and lucky me, i still have two and a half bottles of wine and a 12-pack of pbr to drink all myself if i so choose!

i took lots of pictures, but i need to edit them before i put them up.  i'm not even entirely sure what i took pictures of.

i wanna party with youuuuu!

hooray for birthdays!

i am anxiously awaiting the day when i get internet on my own computer.  i desperately need to update my typelists, and i just don't remember what to put there.  and it's bothering me because they haven't changed in a month.

i finally have a day off before my next stint of six days in a row at target.  so far i haven't gotten much accomplished (meaning i haven't done laundry yet and my work clothes are on the verge of unwearable).  but i did get a haircut and had a short discussion with my stylist about tipping.  which i did, but probably not enough.  if she's still there next time i'll make it up to her. 

yesterday i went to guest services while i was at work because there wasn't anyone scheduled from 4 until 5.  i know, who makes these schedules, right?  anyway, there was a woman there who was trying to return three socks that had gotten holes in them.  she didn't have anything except these three socks, not even the rest of them that came in the package.  my poor coworker was trying to explain that we can't do anything with just those three socks (and, by the way, they looked nasty.  i'm sure they've been worn enough to justify them getting holes) and she requested to see our supervisor who told her the exact same thing.  then she got all pissy and went off shopping.  and then when she was finished she demanded a form to fill out a complaint.  it was so hilarious in retrospect!  people are such idiots.

which gives me an updated list of things that annoy me that people do:

• put their purses on the belt to count out change and then complain that the belt is moving.  that's why we have a separate counter.  move on dear and let the next person unload their items.



• put their change on the belt.  now that's just stupid.  (also, coupons.)



• when i ask if they found everything, they reply "no, but that's okay."  how the hell am i supposed to respond to that?



• write in the register before the check.  i think i've said this before, but it's just as annoying to wait for people now as it was then.  along with that, if you are waiting in line, start your check while you are waiting.  we have pens, you can ask for one.   it's nice for everyone all around.



• people who wait in line on one line while there are five more open.  if you are that stupid, i'm not going to point out there are five lanes with no waiting.  you deserve to stand in line. 

i actually do like my job most of the time.  the people at this target are really nice and some of them are way less annoying than the people i used to work with.  i just get so annoyed because some people are such idiots about things.  next week i have to close service desk one night and i'm not sure if i'm looking forward to it or not.

also next week though is my birthday and i'm super excited.  i'm goin to have a party but so far i don't know who will show up. 

and i have two minutes left so i guess i should save this.  i feel so discombobulated.  i want to edit! but i musn't!

stephanie's story

sunday night my sister met one of our favorite people.  a rather large excerpt from her blog:

It started out as a "wee dander"... not as in I had a small dandruff problem, but..  yeah, we went on a walk to downtown (which is about two feet away).  I was with Ruairi (Rury) and Udai, both "fez's", or foreign exchange students (Irish and Indian, respectively).  Udai actually could have told me he was American and I would have believed him.  Although he talks like he's Irish (actually we were both talking like we were Irish because I have no strong accent of my own I always talk like the people around me...happens when I see my cousins from the South, and so on), he's more savvy on music and pop culture than I am, and really more than most people I know.  He did live in America for awhile before this, and some other countries.  His dad is an ambassador (which means Udai has a diplomatic ID and basically can't be arrested for anything).  Anyway.. as we were dandering by the Hiltop (bar), I thought, hmm, let's see if Chris (the owner) is around and let him know I'm in town and stuff (I've met him a few times and few years ago, he knows my sister, etc.).  He happened to be standing outside on the phone, so I waved.  He recognized me and the four of us started talking and within minutes he had us up in the apartments above the bar at a Newt party.

Which is when I had the blessed opportunity to meet LELAND.  Only a Cornellian would know the significance of that.  Let's just say that every first year student is warned against Leland (ok, I don't want it to sound like he's a rapist or something.  Not like that.  He's just..  His politics..  yeah..  ).  I said, "So YOU'RE Leland!"  And he groaned.  I told him I wasn't allowed to talk to him or I would be disowned by my sister and thrown out by my roommate.  Well, I try not to be a jerk so I sort of was nice to him later on because I felt bad.  Which got me a dinner invitation.  To "someplace nice".

AAAACCCK!!!!

Then Ruairi, Udai and I dandered back to campus and talked in my room with my roommate until 3 am.  But I couldn't stay asleep past 8.  I HATE that!

(Ruairi and Udai want to start their own social group called the Nancies.  Actually, Udai would really like to have one called "I want Morrissey to be my boyfriend".)

and i don't know how to top a story like that so i shouldn't even try!  but i would like to mention that i got trained for guest services and i like it a lot.  that is all!

hello!

yay for irregular posting!  i went dancing again last night.  the housemate who had the party last week had another one this week.  some of us went over there for food and wine and it was fun and someone named ahmed tried to teach me to dance.  he's a good teacher, but i have very little co-ordnation.  then ian (the neighbor) was going to studio and i decided to go as well.  it was fun for awhile, but i got bored at the end, probably because i was getting sober.  i did sweat quite a lot.  the only other time i remember having sweat drip down my face like that was the one time i tried to participate in ice hockey and i couldn't do anything about it because i had a helmet on and twelve layers of padding.  instead this time i had glasses on and had to keep pushing them up my nose every three seconds.

today is laundry day, i think.

i have a new photo album with pictures of my house in it, in case anyone wants to look.  i feel strange standing outside of my own house with a camera, but there are a lot of really cool details.  a plaque on the porch says "lindsey house 1893" and i'm curious to learn more.

friday night my neighbor had a house party, and it was fun.  we drank, listened to music, and then went to gabe's to a dance party where i was chatted up by some grad student whose name i promptly forgot.  he talked a lot about boston which made me want to bang my head against the wall.  apparantly by mentioning i know someone who lives there translates into i really want to hear boring stories about it. 

i also met someone who turns out a) knows my sister and asked me if i was related to her right after meeting me and b) is roommates with bobby who lives two buildings away.  cue "it's a small world".

i have also been working what feels like a hundred hours a day.  i'm tired and am looking forward to a day off tomorrow.  my body desperately needs it, the last couple of nights i have been so sore i just sit in my chair and stare at the tv.

<sarcasm mode>

hot diggity dog target is fun!

</sarcasm>

in other news, i'm glad to see that my last post saved because the computer logged me out before i had a chance to check.  i was going to be pretty peeved about it too, because come on!  strippers! 

also, i keep meaning to take better pictures of my house to show you but i haven't gotten around to it yet.  i thought about it yesterday, but since we were on our way to do recycling i didn't get a chance.  (but as a trade-off i got to throw glass, so it's okay.)  it's a pretty spiffy place even if my door mysteriously shuts itself sometimes and i run into the sharp edge of the post at the bottom of the stairs.

lastly, it's rush time right now and since i live near a number of sorority houses there are an obscene number of skinny blonde girls in dresses hanging around my street.  i wish that someone was here with me so that we could make fun of them together.

my life in ten minutes or less

 

i hate that the library computer kicks you off in exactly 45 minutes because i have not even finished checking my email let alone start looking for a job but since i am working at target again and i will JUST have enough money for next months rent and loan payment (but not any more food or gas) i am not quite so freaked out about things. i qualified for state medical assistance which is nice. if i need an appendectemy it won't cost me about a years worth of paychecks.

friday night i went to a strip club in cr with a couple of my new housemates and a friend of theirs. it was a lot of fun, especially the part where we sat at the stage and the stripper decided to work for her dollars.  she has very soft skin. 

kathy is currently in montana climbin a mountain so i don't get to hang out with her this week.  but last night i watched this crazy movie called dead man which was good, but very strange.  and i may get to go play with fireworks on thursday.  plus i have work which kind of sucks but you know, completely necessary.

now i have to save this before i get kicked off or i will be really mad.

sorry, it's before noon.

i like my new house and i like having people around to hang out with.

i don't like looking for a job and not having the internet.

i'm excited because i saw kathy in fin and feather today and she said she was going to call me when she got off of work.  hooray!

yesterday i went to the iowa workforce development and one of my housemates went with me.  then we went to new pioneer and bought groceries.  i found this canned matar paneer that i bought, and it is so good!  in the evening we went to the farmers market and bought all sorts of fresh vegetables and i made veggies and pasta for dinner.  i swear, i am in food heaven right now!

of course then i left my car windows open and had to go outside at 4am to close them because of a huge thunderstorm.  i'm such an idiot about those car windows!

this exhibit business is going badly.  it doesn't help that i moved everything yesterday and left my computer's power cord at home.  aiee.

my new house & misc.

i live in the room that is hidden behind the tree and next to the trash cans.

joel.

my edward gorey mug amuses me.

today a woman went through my line while another person was training on my register, and while they were talking, the guest said that every person should work retail for a year, and especially work through the christmas season.  i think that is a fabulous idea and should be implemented immediately.  maybe then we would get fewer people digging through purses for change they don't have, forgetting their coupons until after they've been rung up, and my biggest annoyance--people who fill out the register before the check, making me wait even longer to run it through.  i understand the theory behind it, but i get a score on how long that takes you, and if it brings my average down that reflects on me. 

clearly i am annoyed with work again, but it's not so bad as usual.  people are just stupid and the heat makes it worse. 

i think that i might have an idea for photographs to use in the alumni exhibit.  out of the following that are my top three right now, i need two: shoes, sky, king chapel.  i am very much at an impasse and could use as much input as possible.  i know they don't really go together thematically, but at this point i'm running out of time and couldn't care less.

also: my dad joined my mom for a couple of days of the insanity that is ragbrai, and grant is with tim, so it is just stephanie and i for a few days.  dad before he left, "no parties."  stephanie, "who would we invite?".  and, i am still working on death sentences.  it's only 150 pages, but i got stuck on page 50 for a few days.  i have made my way past it and am smoothly moving on.  lastly, you will notice i have written a whole post without using parenthesis once.

a story told in pictures

i tried to get them down to as few as possible, but you know how i am.  also, check out my sky photos of which four out of the five i took the two days i was gone.

hanging out with clay and kathy at the mill, and neon lights in a bar on the way back.

shopping.

at the java house.

stephanie's new shoes.

eating pizza at pizza on dubuque.

i had fun being there doing things i like to do, eating places i like to eat, and seeing people that i like to see.

beam me up, scotty.

jimmy doohan passed away.

you know you're a nerd when...(part 3)

not only do you stand in line at wal-mart for the release of the newest harry potter, but you have it finished at 4pm that same day (and that includes a full night of sleep).  of course, such quick reading means that you know how it ends but you have ABSOLUTELY NO ONE TO TALK ABOUT IT TO!

the big bad wolf

i was reading the world is flat by thomas friedman, and near the end he wrote "We need our president to restore September 11 to its rightful place on the calendar--as the day after September 10 and before September 12.  We must never let it become a day that defintes us.  Because ultimately September 11 is about them--the bad guys--not about us.
"We're about the Fourth of July, we're about 11/9 [the day the Berlin Wall fell]."

and i thought that was really great.  especially in light of what happened recently in london, and how they reacted versus how we reacted (to the bombings with "how to protect yourself", etc., but also in a sense to 9/11).  i mean, we're still talking about it (that being 9/11).  and i'm not going to deny that it was awful and senseless, but we also need to move past it as a country and learn from it, and as friedman says, not let that define us.  that's why i get so sick of this pseudo-patriotism that almost borders on the same fantaticism that we accuse the same people we are fighting of having.

guh.  sorry if i am incoherent or something.  i'm tired, and it's hot and so while i know what i'm trying to say i'm not sure if it's the same thing that is actually coming out of my mouth.  so i will just leave with this quote:
"The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." Hermann Goering, at the Nuremberg trials.

no pictures here

bride & prejudice is fabulous, and i'm sad i didn't get to see it sooner.  "plus my crib has it's own hot tub bath with super jets."

ah, gurinder, i did like your last two films, but with the next three being re-makes what are you giving me to look forward to?

summer photos
