Monday bliss for one
How to create a perfect Monday evening, at least for orfeo:
- come home to find not one, but TWO CDs in your letterbox, both of them without a single note you've ever heard before
- put the first CD on while getting ready for dinner, and while getting dinner ready
- succeed in cooking a particularly succulent stir fry
- continue to listen to the first CD, revelling in it
- watch the season finale of Desperate Housewives, delighting in it
- watch your favourite interviewer in the world in action (incidentally, if you buy an American record from the 80s with what sounds like a black man wailing wordlessly at the end of a track, there's a good chance that wail was done by a white Jewish woman from Australia named Renee Geyer...)
- put on the second CD while washing up and writing in your blog
- ignore the ironing.

Do those happen to be Over the Rhine CDs? I'm assuming Mary made you some CDs of their music since you mentioned Fool and She over on her tagboard. How are you liking them so far? I love them. One of my friends told me about them years ago after hearing Karin (the lead) sing in person. I've been hooked ever since.
I missed the last 5 or 6 episodes of Desperate Housewives because my Tivo went out and I had them saved. I was so bummed.
I agree on ignoring the ironing. :-)
Hi, missed you.
You revelled? Very glad about that. ;) I wondered how much, if any, of the music you might have heard before. Not a single note before? Very glad about that, too. I'll look forward to hearing what else you have to say about your enjoyment of it.
Ok, so we should talk DH predictions soon. I caught an interview with Marc Cherry on Craig Ferguson the other night and I was hoping for a juicy detail or 'slip' about what's to come in this next season. Nada. But he's funny and a very down to Earth kind of guy. I for one think we haven't seen the last of Rex. Just a funny feeling.
Sent you mail last week with a little update. You should get that soon, if you haven't already. I finished Cholera. Loved it, every word, and found myself completely entranced at times and then, strangely, emotionally drained by it at other times. Long story. Life-long story, in fact.
This is reading like a PM now. Remember PMs? ;)
Happy for you and your bliss - and to have been a small part of it without even knowing. Hope your Monday today is equally good.
- ? M.
PS: Shari, I sent him one disc of Over The Rhine songs and one disc of Patty Griffin songs.
I have only recently become enamored by DH (about a month ago). Bree is by far my favorite character. Anyway, I cry about 2 gallons of tears during Extreme Makeover: Home Edition so I need some DH humor immediately after.
I swear that was a heart, and not a question mark, before my initial on my last post. Weird.
Hey everybody!
Yep, Bree is the bee's knees. Marcia Cross is the main reason I decided I was going to keep watching the show - the way she manages to switch between comedy and drama is just breathtaking.
And now I'll have to wait until February to see any more of her!
LOL, I admit the whole reason I started really watching the show (besides the fact that my mom kept telling me I should and I had to appease her, darnit) was because at Easter time my sisters and cousins were sitting over in the corner and snickering at me as I walked by. I said "what?!" and there was this discussion about how I was "so Bree". I was pissed, really, because all I knew of her was from a few ad-clips I'd seen, which showed her in her most control-freak petty personality. (Plus I was just pissed that they were snickering at me anyway. Big meanies, they do it because I'm an easy target and I'm too tactful and graceful to tell them to shut up.) But once I watched the show, I really liked Bree, too. (And I'll admit we do have some similarities, most of which Sean takes pleasure in pointing out during each show, lol).
She got her Master's and was all set to start a career as a psychologist when she got the call for the show and took the role. Thank goodness, she's perfect in the part.
On the other hand Teri Hatcher often drives me nuts. I keep wanting her to be cute like she was when she was Lois.
Why don't you have a link for that forum you help moderate?
♥
C, I wondered the same thing yesterday.
That would be because it's a source of heaps more information about me, and I always had the intention that this blog was 'stand-alone' in that regard.
Not that anyone other than people who already know me seems to read this thing.
But, speaking of links... Carly, how about it? ;-)
I had a feeling that was your reasoning for not linking TF. ♥
Of course you can link my blog (that is what you're asking, right?) lol... Sorry, I'm out of it. :)
LMAO at Carly's question to you! Perhaps your link-wink threw her off or something. ;)
Is this your most commented-on post or what?
Note to self: Bliss is poplular.
♥
Uh, that would be popular, Bob.
