Brief messages
Feb. 16th, 2007 11:30 amI just received notice through my work email of the following, generated by one of my electronic courts' automated docketing systems:
1-05-01330-CLB A relationship has been created between Docket Entry #32 and Docket Entry #31
Woohoo! 31/32 OTP!
----
Honest, hadn't done this in months, but what do you suppose I had for lunch yesterday?
A peanut butter sandwich, what else?
Fortunately, it was the Wegmans house brand, but I didn't get clarification on that not being part of the recall until well past 5.
----
In about 24 hours, I will be bringing a herd of kid, including my own and the kid in Confirmation Class I'm mentoring, to the SPCA shelter I've been doing work for. This started as a last-ditch effort to get some of the confirmation kids to do the service project they have to do, but the enthusiasm has spilled over and now we're not sure we've got enough space in the cars for all of them. If any of the B-lo contingent here have any unused pet products (brushes, feeding bowls, even catboxes), drop a comment and I'll take them off your hands for the sake of the furry gang.
----
Added to the Books (to be) Read pile:
7. Memoirs from an Antproof Case, Mark Helprin (thanks to
goodfoot08 for that one)
8. Children Playing in front of a Statue of Hercules, ed. David Sedaris (heard a mention of it on the most recent This American Life and am looking forward to same)
9. Children of Men, P.D. James (began rereading it before the previous ones arrived, and to be returned to before year's end)
(and yes, Jenn, I'll get Summerland on there in the fulness of time)
----
My Flist has become a veritable prayer chain of late. We don't turn the first corner of the alphabet without needing them for at least three A's (one facing surgery, one already having had it and possibly needing more, and one in a seriously whacked job situation), a B (deep issues of grief), a couple of C's (scary medical situation and a totally bizarre home situation) and a D (car accident with resulting medical issues). My concerns, sympathies, willingness to help and even any leftover feng shui are with all of you, as with the rest of the alphabet I haven't even gotten to yet.
----
Not the kind of thing one usually finds after a prayer request, but....
K-Y Jelly ads during Lost?!?
Sheesh, the thing was so slickly produced at first I thought it was a Kay Jewelers ad. Come to think of it, those two companies could easily merge:
K-Y Jewelers. Because every kiss begins with K and ends with K-Y.
How silly of me not to have realized that K-Y had ditched their previous ad campaign:

----
On the bright side, the M&Ms commercial right after that (once getting over the, erm, transitional shock) was pretty cool. I haven't heard The The in ages; now there's a group that's got to suffer in an internet searchable age. The song used in the ad is "This is the Day," from the album Soul Mining, but the one even more in-me-head now is the next track, "That Sinking Feeling," containing perhaps the best line of the entire 1980s, "I'm just a symptom of the moral decay that's gnawing at the heart of the country." You can get samples of both of those here, by scrolling down to the "Soul Mining" portion of their jukebox.
