    Ah, I see. "cause I know there's at least some on the East Coast that has been sampled by others. :D

    I presume that we're not including any assorted felines in the vicinity?

    Your husband is a very lucky guy, and I'm sure that he knows it, my dear snowy. :)

    He may have had two female cats on his lap at the time...

    Sounds kinda kinky. Don't tell me what they were doing there. Just add it into your next opus.

    Was listening to various Marty Robbins songs on YT and came across a song titled "Five Brothers".
    What a thoroughly depressing ending. :eek:

    The 5 brothers take out after the gambler that killed their pa, finally catch up to him at a watering hole...
    they all shoot him down, then end up all being killed due to a poisoned watering hole.

    Sitting here watching the Maltese Falcon on DVD just now when I remembered that is the name of my wireless network. One of those must-have films for any DVD collection.

    Great movie. I got to teach it this year. One of the things I love about my job is seeing kids be hesitant and then just falling in love with stuff. We watched both Maltese Falcon and Double Indemnity as part of our noir unit, and the kids really enjoyed both. I had several students say they had been hesitant about noir, but now they wanted to go watch more.

    Yesterday I was dying for the UPS guy to get here so I could set up my record player. They usually show up around 12:30-1:30pm. He came at 4:45pm. Wasn't the regular driver, so I'm assuming he's out this week and his route is split up among other drivers, or it is a fill in that goes a different way. Today, when I am not as anxious for him to show up, he's here at 10:15. Figures.

    Those days are even worse, because you HAVE to be around to sign for it. I have one coming tomorrow and am not sure I can make it home in time. #firstworldproblem

    With the other package, it can be safely left on my porch, I just wanted it quicker. :p

    Yeah, I hate having to sign for it. We have no minors in the house, so it's a drag.

    I had to sign for my phone yesterday and FedEx gave me a 14 hour window, as opposed to the usual 6-8.
    It was a long day.

    I really have to pee but I don't want to stop watching this game. I suppose this is when I need the WatchESPN app.

    Finally got around to watching the DVD of Citizen Kane that I bought many months ago; I once again know the meaning of Rosebud. I haven't yet watched any of the bonus material.

    That whole thing with Hearst trying to block that film is even more interesting when you look at the "real meaning" of Rosebud according to Gore Vidal.
