Saturday night, the troupe is talking about seeing an improv show somewhere. Our leader suggests that we go to BATS (Bay Area Theater Sports), which I've never seen. I think they're the biggest name improv troupe around here.

Always Something There To Remind Me is such a good song to reminisce to. Those two songs play on my Pandora station. I'm not sure if Pandora's tried playing of their other songs for me.

Portland is kind of like the way sf was when i lived here 15 years ago, in a way. sf was always a bit snobby tho and i don't mind that so much as i mind THE DAMN PRICES
now it's so bloody expensive and the snobbery is more noticeable because u can't go 'oh well, at least it's affordable'

portland is a lot more affordable...one of my oold writing teachers and another author friend i know live there, so i am looking forward to that

The singer is Laura Jansen. she'sdutch/american. I don't know much about her. Yes, I like the song too.

Yesterday I had a great night with my friends. The weather was very warm. Our country is full of the world championship football. So yesterday we went to a beachclub to see our dutch soccerteam play against brasil. We won the game. So it was one big party. We ate altogether at the beach with ocean view. It was so nice.......

AG, hope your arm is better and have fun at lake Tahoe.

Everybody happy independance day the 4th!

So U.S.A. is sun cancer. That old movie Top Gun always gives me a U.S.A. cancer (patriotic) feeling.

Tom cruise is sun cancer, Kelly mcgilles is sun cancer and singer of the themsong is sun cancer.

My hand and arm aren't better yet, but hopefully this weekend will give them a rest.

For some reason I never made the connection before, but there's a guy in my improv group who's Dutch. He's an orthodontist. Tall blond guy. Coincidentally, he's also a Cancer I think, though he might be the last day of Cancer.

Here's something I found interesting recently that's astrology-related:
I watch this show on HGTV (Home & Garden Television) called Design Star. Designers compete to get their own show on HGTV. The very first episode dealt with astrology. It's called the "White Room Challenge." Every designer is given a completely white room (with some minor white furnishings) to decorate. This season they had to decorate using a competitor as a client (I just had to stop using my right hand, because it was painful). They were arbitrarily paired up for this challenge. Nina and Courtland got one another. Nina asked Courtland what his sign was as part of her interview. He said he was a Gemini. She gave him a deep navy blue wall color with white stripes to mimic baseboards and crown moulding. There was also a white rectangle created on the wall over the bed (this challenge included a small bed). They were only allowed to decorate with items bought at a massive, three story Asian market, so she put up different colored parasols. It did not say "Gemini" to me whatsoever. If I got a male Gemini, I'd do at least part of a wall with multi-colored vertical stripes. There's order in the lines, and chaos in the colors. It represents Gemini's Mercurial nature wonderfully. He was nice about it, though, and said he was alright with it.

You'd better not type if it hurts your hand that much. Like I said before I think
you need to exercise more and lower sweet food. It's what i'm trying to do. I've got
those lazy planets in my chart libra and taurus and i'm a fixed sun. So I can easely sit
on the couch and than slowly become part of the furniture.
And my work is al computer, so in my weekend I try to go out and move my ass.

That's a nice show. What would i create for al the other signs. For pisces, sea and fish and for
cap mountains?

My daughter has a friend over to play, so I came upstairs to get some peace and to give them some space. I could hear crashing and banging coming from the kitchen and considered whether I should investigate. My daughter has a fairly well developed sense of right and wrong, so I thought I should just trust her (read: couldn't be arsed going downstairs). Then I heard the backdoor slam, and out they went.

I went down later to make a coffee and found empty fruit juice cartons all over the side (ALL of the fruit juice that I stocked up on yesterday). When they came back I asked what they had been doing. It turns out they had made their own fruit punch and had taken it round the neighbourhood for some 'market research' taste tests.

I knew I would pay for that moment of laziness.

Caroline - I have to confess to being a little disturbed by your erotic carpet dream. As you didn't elaborate too much my mind has been forced to fill in the blanks!

I am one step away from booking the ranch holiday for next summer. I am very excited, but actually a bit nervous that it will so good that I won't want to come home. This is a bit of new one for me.

I think I may have been a cowgirl in a past life. My daughter has been having weekly riding lessons from the age of 4. On holiday in Ireland she coerced me into having a lesson with her. It came completely naturally to me, freakily so. I put it down to having been watching her lessons for so long.

Then, the week before last we had a corporate shooting event. I have never shot a rifle in my life, but had scarily good aim and walked away with the trophy. I beat my boss, and my bosses boss, and all of their colleagues. They were most put out, and I didn't help by chanting 'you got beaten by a girl' when I collected my prize.

My arm is still hurting every now and then. I took today off sick. Felt feverish this morning for some reason, but now I feel fine.

Top Gun was a few days ago on t.v. I'm really done with that movie now, it's way to old.
