Hot hot day. I hate the heat. It makes me grumpy. I have to buy some flower pots and potting soil - my poor plants are busting out of their containers right now - their roots all jammed up in a tangled mess. Need to re-pot them.
Lots to do today.
Cooking, shopping, laundry, plants, domestic concerns.
Tonight? Kerry: if you're reading this: I rented "The Roaring Twenties" and I can't WAIT!
James Cagney AND Humphrey Bogart?
It may not be as sexy as a "Rump Parliament" (ahem) - but it'll do quite nicely!
Posted by sheilaI wasn't conscious enough to think of this last night, but(t): I ASSume that you're seeking the office of Majority Whip of the Rump Parliament? ;-)
Posted by: Dave J at June 19, 2004 1:59 PMGreat--hope you like it. By the end I'm always a complete mess.
Posted by: Kerry at June 19, 2004 2:10 PMSweetie, I'm sure you have a very sexy rump.

Posted by: Rivet_Gun at June 20, 2004 7:25 PMHey, what's wrong with the heat? Have you forgotten January already?
The heat is a welcome change from that frozen wasteland.

I would be happy if every day were chilly, windy, and grey. Maybe it's my ancestors from County Mayo or something - dictating my taste in weather.
And Sgt. Hook:
I won't ever complain again!! :) Always good to hear from you.
Posted by: red at June 21, 2004 9:30 AMJames Cagney and Humphrey Bogart at the same time is a whole other thread, Sheila.
A whole...other...thr.........
Posted by: Emily at June 21, 2004 10:42 AMThwack!! (crack of the whip...)
Posted by: red at June 21, 2004 10:44 AMSheila,
What is all this about rump parliaments and whips? I thought we were talking about boobs on your blog!
It is completely Emily's fault.
Uh ... I think. I might have been the one who brought up the whip first ...
Posted by: red at June 21, 2004 10:48 AMI did though enjoy your use of the word "Jaysus" on the thread. Only real Joyce freaks use language like that.
Posted by: Bryan at June 21, 2004 10:49 AMI knew I was going to regret giving that whip back to you. I just didn't think it would be so soon.
Posted by: Emily at June 21, 2004 11:11 AMOh, and for the benefit of Bryan -- BOOBS.
Posted by: Emily at June 21, 2004 11:11 AMI appreciate the effort, Emily, but I was kind of hoping for the word to be used in a complete sentence, like, for instance, "She gives you a job on the proper and then you go and slate her boobs to Jaysus. Couldn't you have done the Yeats touch?"
Posted by: Bryan at June 21, 2004 11:29 AMI will definitely never be able to run for public office after writing that.
Posted by: Bryan at June 21, 2004 11:31 AMBryan: HAHAHA
Yeah, I can just see you trying to explain it to some Kenneth Starr type.
"Well ... first there was this funny conversation about Rump Parliaments ... and Sheila said Jaysis ... and then there were some whiny types who were mad at Sheila for posting about Joyce ... so she said she'd post about her boobs ..."
Like: WHAT??
Posted by: red at June 21, 2004 11:33 AMI bet if Bryan were a Kennedy, it wouldn't make a difference.
Posted by: Emily at June 21, 2004 11:45 AMSheila: HAHAHA
Next scene: I'm being carted off in a straightjacket to the insane asylum.
And Emily, you're probably right, although I don't know if even the Kennedy's can get away with parodying Joyce.
Unnecessary apostrophe. Apologies.
Posted by: Bryan at June 21, 2004 12:05 PMWe're Shrivers, Sheila: we can get away with this sort of thing. ;-)
I suppose Bryan can be another Shriver if he's worried about eligibility for public office.

Somebody say "boobs"?

Your stage directions there just killed me. Suddenly I felt like it was an episode of Laugh-In or something
