Remain(der)s of the Day

[another set of loose threads and odd bits]
* Since Shell put the new floors in I feel so much more comfortable in the house. It is a shame we'll be selling it soon.
* Ernest Gallo died yesterday at 97. He (and his brother) parlayed an original investment of $6000 into an estimated fortune of over $1 Billion. Though they made 'finer' wines, they are probably more famous for also making Thunderbird and Boones Farm which anyone who has ever drank before they were legally allowed to, probably has had a taste of two. I wonder if Gallo's coffin will be wrapped in a brown paper bag?
* I don't feel bad about making a joke about Gallo's death...he was 97 and worth a billion dollars...something tells me he could take it
* I have my paper topic for this semester. My prof loves the idea. I'm going to write about Philip K. Dick and two of his stories that have been adapted to the screen- looking at the implications of societal and political events on the adaptations (among other aspects).
* In case you've seen or heard him in the last few days since the Scooter Libby verdict...Robert Novak is NOT a journalist...he's a hack shill for the Republican party. I don't care much for Bill Press, a Democratic party shill but he made a great point about how 12 years ago lying before a grand jury was an impeachable offense but now everyone is singing a different tune.
* For some reason I love the picture posted above. Ginny Grace is just so happy.
* The British House of Commons is moving legislation to end the legacy of the House of Lords- frankly I think Britain's Parliament jumped the shark when Christopher Guest (yes Nigel Tufnel himself) became a Lord when he inherited his title from his father...when parliamentary debates are being heard by Corky St.Clair, it's time to change the system.
* How long into the season will my heart survive before the Cubs eventually break it again...it's a yearly thing
* Shell is thinking about getting her hair cut, she says she wants to get a 'Chloe' cut- so clearly she's bought into my obsession with Allison Mack (which reminds me it's Thursday and Smallville is one tonight- yay!!!) I *heart* Allison Mack
* I finally got an appointment to talk to a doctor about my propensity for nightmares...I'm hoping to get some ideas to reduce their frequency and lingering effects
* There's a small iceberg in our driveway behind my car and in front of the garage...it probably will not be gone until May...it's so incredibly thick and frozen...I know now why the Titanic sank.
* Here's a couple more pictures from the other day that I loved:

Those are some great pictures.
And great floors.
And your topic sounds very interesting. You will have to fill me in on more later.
And I'm avoiding the front door tonight. Needy neighbor kid has already made contact once, to show me the two dots on his hand that have "healed" since two months ago when my dog nipped him (mortified dog owner moment) and I'm REALLY hoping some people show up tonight to the party so that I can continue ignoring the doorbell guilt-free.
You know the place...

But I now realize Smallville is on, so I won't hold my breath.
*Tell Shell I'm getting a haircut tomorrow. No one will be able to tell the difference when I return home. I'm what Andy Dick likes to call...'Boringifer.'
GG is so adorable.
very nice pics!
You could enter that collie portrait in a flick contest. I think there is one called dog of the month?
It's called year of the dog 2006. I am trying to invite you to join, but you have to add me.
Hi.
I came by and got caught up because I'm stuck in the Ramada Inn for a couple of hours and I miss you.
I hope your nightmares subside. Soon.
