Weekend post

So D and I will probably see You, Me and Dupree tonight...despite awful reviews. There's something charming and winning about Owen Wilson. As opposed to Vince Vaughn, who seems vaguely (or not so vaguely) menacing.

For those who inquired about my good news...there's every indication I should find out within the next few days. So keep your fingers crossed for me :)

Also, there's a kitty, owned by another yoga teacher, who is looking for a home. The kitty currently lives in Brooklyn. Its owner is getting married to an allergic man. The cat is 12 years old, and somehow I feel like it is my mission to find it a home :) So let me know if you would like a new addition to your family. I guess this only applies to New York readers, since I don't know if cats are amenable to traveling.

In other news, I took out some books from the library yesterday, including Babyji by Abha Dawesar. I had the "commentary" librarian, who checked out the other books without comment, but said "Oh...my...god" and let out a deep bass chuckle when she saw the cover of Babyji (pictured in the sidebar). Then, for no apparent reason, she told me that an actor from Criminal Intent stopped by the library last year. She seemed deeply disappointed that I had never seen the show ;)

My melatonin dreams seem to have tapered off, and it's working well. I did have a dream about Grey's Anatomy, but it was not unpleasant. Have I mentioned that I can't wait for that show to come back in the fall? Which show do you miss the most?

The Amazing Race... my favorite show!

I'm also a big I Love Lucy fan, but they don't seem to show the reruns very often...

I miss "Alias." I'm still crushed that they canceled the show.

Waiting rather impatiently for your news! :)

I don't know about all cats, but I know my (late) cat HATED the car ride when I moved. He was apparently biting on the door to his cage because he hated it so much! I'm so thankful to my mom for being the one to drive him!

Good for you for your mission re: the kitty. I LOVE cats but cannot take another at this point.

Re: TV.. As far as cancelled shows, hands down I miss Freaks and Geeks the most. I ADORE that show. Current shows off the air for now: I miss Big Love.

Could someone please explain the popularity of Grey's Anatomy? I watched one episode and just didn't understand why anyone would watch it. But, then again, I felt the same way about Seinfeld, so . . . .

I'm getting spoiled by having a TV right now, but I'll be glad to be rid of it in the Fall. I'm getting nothing done!

Suzy - wow, i guess the cat should stay local ;)

Ashley - i understand :) my sister has 3 cats (and 2 dogs), so i'm reluctant to ask her.

Lisa - hard to explain. I just love the characters (most of them, anyway), the cliffhanger situations (no matter how cheesy), the love triangles, the absurdity, the melodrama, etc...

Bearette-- my brother and his girlfriend (in Brooklyn) recently found homes for seven kittens that were abandoned near their house. He emailed me pictures of them-- they were unbearably cute.

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t...

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.

Eventful

A lot has happened today already. I went to meet D for lunch and along the way I spotted a Boston terrier -- one blue eye, one brown. I stooped to pat it and then I heard an ear-bruising screech!! Everyone's head whipped around. Even the dog jumped. A taxi had squealed to a halt and there was a delivery boy on its hood. Somebody yelled, "Call an ambulance!" The boy seemed fine, even hopping on his bike to finish his deliveries -- but everyone persuaded him to stay. I took out my cell phone but another woman was already giving details to 911. After the woman finished the call, I was satisfied that help was on its way, so I continued. There were a bunch of rubberneckers/supporters gathered around the boy, so he wasn't alone. The dog stayed too. I was shaken by this, of course, but then something amusing happened. A few blocks later, I knelt down to pat a beagle tied outside a coffee shop, and it let loose with this big mournful howl: AROOOO. Everyone smiled, including a...
