Threes
I was tagged by one of my favorite people, Rowena. How could a refuse such a lovely person? Besides, unlike so many, I like being tagged. It's a 'get-out-of-having-to-come-up-with-a-topic-free' card.

When the Bush regime keeps goofing off who needs memes to spur topics?
;-)
Jon Stewart is great.
Success scares the crap out of me too!
Braiding is relatively easy and there is a KLUTZ book out there about it...look for it on Amazon.
Spit takes ROCK and I try to put one into everything I direct but I can seem to fit one into Three Tall Women...damn!
Colin Mochrie...does he have an existence south of our border? Or are you an honorary Canadian?
I'm cool with that.
One tag, comin up!
nice list.
what, is stephen colbert chopped liver???
BP, I never knew there was an official term for spitting a beverage out of one's mouth when one is surprised. One learns something new every day.
And learning how to braid, for your daughter, will be much appreciated I'm sure. On the few occasions during my childhood when my mum wasn't there in the morning to plait (as we say here) my hair before I went to school, and it was left to my dad to do it, the result was an unmitigated disaster.
Being a person who likes order and perfection, having to wear shonky plaits to school fair ruined my day.
dhg: if they were goofing off, it would be one thing. they're actively involved in destruction.
b-logger: 'everybody's working for the weekend' 'turn me loose' 'loving every minute of it' ...AND MANY MORE!
Just cuz I know them, doesn't mean I can stand them.
Thanks for the tip. Maybe I'll check them out.
X: You know you're a success as a director when you can successfully put a spit-take into a production of 'Coriolanus.'
Heidi: I'm cool with you.
terry: no, he's pate'. I could only pick three, and I prefer Stewart. Wanna step outside and settle this?
ro: in performances, a 'take' is any sort of physical reaction to an event. There's takes, double-takes, spit-takes, fumble-takes, stumble-takes...you get the idea.
shonky? cool. another word for my Aussie vocabulary. I'll bet that you looked scorchio in shonky plaits.

Jon Stewart is great! When I can't stand to watch the other news, he's a great source of relief. I love coffee, but I'm spoiled. My husband started bringing back coffee from Colombia a few years ago, and now it's the only stuff I can drink. We drive up to NY every couple of months to stock up.
and all this time I thought it was the Terrible Twos!
insightful *S*
