Roxi and I recommend
“Flushed Away,” available on DVD, rated PG. It’s Wallace and Gromit meets James Bond meets Chick Flick, which means it’s great for the whole family. Check out the Movie Mom’s Review.
They say it’s your birthday, It’s my birthday too, yeah
Roxi woke up early and made this scrumptious breakfast birthday cake for my traditional birthday breakfast in bed. It’s a cornflake crispy treat! Mama DJ delivered two bags of US marshmallows this weekend, and one was lovingly sacrificed to make this for me. I also got a sweet message written in my journal (translated into [...]
A mushroom walks into a bar…
Bartender: “Sorry, we don’t serve your type here.” Mushroom: “Why not? I’m a fungi!” (collective groan) Roxi and I went shopping for hiking shoes. We’re going to France on Thursday for a bit of hiking and biking! But meanwhile, I really need a cup or two of tea.
Here and gone again
Mama DJ popped in for a quick visit yesterday. She got to our house at 1:30 pm yesterday and left at 6:30 this morning! Talk about a short visit! Well it’s better than the cup of coffee at the airport she would have had with us last weekend. We took a nice stroll around Valley [...]
A Pox!
Last night, a nasty virus infected my poor machine. Categorized as “alert-based scareware,” it looks enough like an official warning from a virus protection program or Windows itself that it can catch users unaware. I actually got a warning from my Norton Anti-Virus program that it detected a virus and deleted it, but as soon [...]
Aqua Net Extra Hold
Roxi and I saw Hairspray yesterday. It was adorable, campy, deliciously cheesy, and loads fun. Nikki Blonsky, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, John Travolta and Queen Latifah–HA! They were great. Go see it!
Lunch at the Pump Room, Bath, England
When we were in Bath a couple of weeks ago, Mr. DJ suggested we have lunch in the Pump Room. Well, what’s a girl to do? Of course, I agreed! The small print says Stephen Clews: Graham Plumb Licensed in Pursuance of Act of Parliament for Public Singing & Dancing. Licensed to Sell Intoxicating Liquor [...]
All is well and Public art is cool
Thanks, everyone, for your emails. We are okay here, no flooding in our area. Most of the heavy rains have happened to our north and west. And actually, we have a beautiful blue sky today (that’s two blue skies in three days!). I hope the weather holds out. Mama DJ said she might drop by [...]
Our weekend with Harry
We went into London on Saturday. Roxi and I haven’t been to the city in 3.5 months! We just kind of walked around, went to Chinatown for some hot sauce and spring roll wrappers, Tin Pan Alley for guitar picks, ducked into a bookstore during the worst of the rain, had lunch at a nice [...]
Cinnamon Rolls
Ok, yes, this is my second post of the day, but I wanted to share this recipe with you for the weekend. I made these awesome cinnamon rolls this morning. I am usually the first up, sometimes for many, many hours, and this morning was no different. My two extra hours definitely worked in favor [...]
