okay, i can forgive Rick Roswell for not disclosing what kind of
millionaire he was. An IT millionaire. At that point all he had was
stock in a company that
he built that was probably affected by the IT bubble burstage
he must've just wanted an adoring companion, & most
anyone will stoop to buying it -- or trying to attract it with money,
prestige, whatever...
I also can't stand that Kate Mulgrew Star Trek character.
it's a horrible Kate Hepburn ripoff, isn't it? And why is it that
every time the celluloid portrays a powerful woman she has to be a total
fucking bitch? Did you see the STNG episodes where Deanna Troi was being
tested for a promotion? Why did they have to portray her as completely
baffled by the engineering & technical stuff? -- as well as challenged by
facing tough decisions like whether to sacrifice a few lives for the whole
crew? Where is star fleet academy to prepare me for the jobs I've been
doing
for the past 3 years? I need it now!

Bush
was acting the way he probably has when his dad yelled at him for
something
or other. Though I haven't seen the movie about his life, that came out
this summer, I thought he probably has spent his life apologizing for
his
headstrong attitudes and misdeeds. And this moment was just a typical
day
in his 62 year old life that he is now accustomed to.
As you know I'm (personally) fond of George. Sure, that's an obvious
ambiguity, though.

When you say you are personally fond, that makes it seem that you have
met
him in person. Is that what you meant?

A few years ago, n Julia and I had a discussion about Rick Rockwell?
From
"Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire"
She said that even
though she'd adopted the satellite dish & bought the first seasons of
Star
Trek NG& the Simpsons on dvd to start catching up what
she missed in the 80's, she still couldn't bear to watch anything with
commercials...except for some occasional visits to the cartoon channel.
However, I love commercials so I watch a LOT of TV>
She said her
channel-view menu only displays about 75 of the 200 or so channels she
can
get, & only about 15 of those have commercials (lifetime-for-women,
cartoon
& boom, nick, sci-fi, discovery, TLC, & animal planet--though i seldom
watch
those either)...still she ended up watching commercial-uninterupted movie
channels about 99% of the time. Me - the more commercials the better.
She was also getting
into Farscape, but I could never get addicted to it
So then I tell her that a friend was having a baby and we held a baby
shower
for her. She asked for books rather than toys and clothes for the baby.
Julia complimented me on buying a book that has the following
subjects: mammals, insects, pirates
She complimented me on getting this book and for spreading science
geekdom
to youths!!! mammals, insects & pirates,
The sales clerk who checked out my books. The idle one,
a male, started telling me how he loves this book. I no longer remember
what
it was called an I told him it is standard
baby shower fare. I told him I will be sure to buy it for him when he
has
a baby. And then he tells me that he watched this movie that starred
Angelina Jolie and Sean Connery where one of the adult characters was
dying
and he asked his mother to read the book to him. I vaguely remember
seeing
this movie, but don't remember what it is. I looked it up and it's
Playing
By Heart
I told him perhaps he
should take a few hits of vodka and maybe that would get him crying good
and proper.
The other book I bought: When I lived in Roanoke, I learned of a famous
book called "Goodbye Moon" which is ADORABLE. I used to love looking at
it,
even as an adult. The drawings are beautiful. The author is from
Roanoke
in fact.

My friend Julia even though she was from Roanoke had never heard of it.
She
said it sounds like a good book, and said she'd have to go get it for
herself!

snoring loudly with arms splayed out widely unaware that the world was

day and it will continue to plunge even though yesterday they thought it
would go up and be a bit warmer. No luck as of today. I will continue
to
watch it all on tv because I can't afford to get sick this year. It's
probably the best seat in the house. I am sitting only a scant two
miles
away. If I were in the cold, I'd be standing a mile away maybe more
because
of the crowds. So I am just about as close but I will see the details
very
well. On the mall all the details will be shown on a jumbotron, ie a

tv
set. I have a big tv set in my house and am almost as close! And I can
