    I can relate, but we make Rum Balls and Creme de Menthe bon bons, instead! And don't forget the well laced fruitcake! I need to dig it out of the freezer and put a new flavor on it. Apricot brandy sounds good! I make a huge 15 lb. fruitcake, and what we don't eat gets frozen, pulled out at Thanksgiving, and laced with a nice new liquor. The cake gets pretty potent after 4 or 5 years! Hiccup!!!!!

    Nice to hear from you. Things have settled down a bit in my life right now. I'm trying to get organized for Thanksgiving (my favorite holiday). I also have to get cracking on holiday cookies for the family bake-a-thon. We pre-mix the dough and make 15-18 different kinds of cookies, 16 dozen each in one day at my sister-in-law's. We don't make anything normal like cutouts, oatmeal, peanut butter or choc. chip, etc. We only make fancy schmancy little yummy things to heap on the cookie trays that we take everywhere over the holidays. We get it done in one day, as my sister-in-law has a 3 rack oven and we are baking fools! This weekend I hope to get the outdoor Christmas lights put out before it sleets and snows. I refuse to turn anything on until Advent starts. I've got 9 trees to put up in the house, with the tallest being 9 1/2 ft. It's a pain to put lights on that tree(1500-2000), so I get to do some serious holiday cussing!! LOL it's going to be a bit odd without my hubby around, but I've got guests popping in and out randomly for the next 1 1/2 months!

    woo hoo...this be I and...I

    What's up? Not much, school, university applications and other mundane activities...bore, bore, bore...saw you in the Beckett group - what the better for a Beckett group? I says the silence and deadness actually makes it more worth the joining...I've taken a break from the Molloy "Trilogy", two thirds of the way through, but the third looks like a tough read - I'm building up to it...Mercier and Camier was nice and quaint, much similarities with the Godot thing/play.

    Home Renovations? Ah, I don't have to worry about that for at least four or five years...shucks to me ;-p...for now

    Here's hoping you keep on with the happiness...and all is well

    Will make sure that I take gaps between the Beckett trilogy, I'm about 85 pages into Molloy and loving the strange, yet lucid, prose...he's an excellent writer is Beckett, real good - the plays GREAT, Waiting for Godot top of the pops, Endgame closely following, than the shorter postmodern weirdothons...what be your favourite Beckett play? I'm waiting for the next production of Godot to come to London, but still...waiting... had to make do with the 2001 "Beckett on Film" version - which was actually veddy enjoyable...inspirational is our Beckett, he's opened my eyes to playwriting and I'm.... rambling....

    Will take note on The Cement Garden once I've taken all those cruddy notes on Enduring Love in English Lit...yes...still with Enduring Love

    Right now, I'm fighting between the VA medical clicics and the jail medical unit so that my husband will get appropriate care. I warned them at the jail, that if he gets ill or worse due to their negligence, especially since they won't give him all his perscribed meds, there would a be legal consequences. I have to look out for him, as he is little more than a caged animal to them. It isn't right, but that's the way it is.

    Hi stranger! I had to take a look at your avatar again...it always cheers me up on a lousy day. Yup, those Old Testament types knew how to solve a problem, albeit in a slightly messy manner! LOL

    Hi Jude, how be things? Hope all is good in the hood ;-p
    anyways,
    I think - correct me if I be wrong - that I saw the Samuel Beckett "Trilogy" - Molloy, Mallone Dies and The Unnameable - on your shelf a while back... if this be a truth, what did ya think of it? (I'm currently reading Molloy and enjoying - I'm going through a Beckett phase you see!)

    The Last Cheater's Waltz was very different from what I'd expected. Thanks for the recommendation. Meloy reminds me of Rick Bass - he's a terrific nature writer.

    Not really, I just got board and realized that the only "group" that I'm actually apart of is AA so I just went CRAZY, but really its just because I love Helena Bonham-Carter and thought this picture of her playing the Red Queen in Tim Burtons upcoming Alice movie was just to good pass up.

    Will look out for Chesil Beach... and if I see it cheap in a used book store... will probs buy it, why not... got Black Dogs at home... my dad says it is terrible, we have similar tastes... but I may give it a go... you read it? At least he got the ENDURING part of the title right... will be learning this in school for the next three months... three months of not listening in class... great!

    on a better note... managed to get Woolf's The Waves on the cheap (still looking out for Orlando... sounds VERY interesting) so, my next Woolf is either that or A Room of One's Own... luckily she wrote more than some of my other favourite authors, which mean I won't have to spread out my reading patterns with her works...

    Lolita... still going good... he has a way with the words...

    School... alright... well, really, really, really boring... studying Enduring Love in English (soon to be studying Othello as well) and Ian McEwan is sooooo dull... he just ain't the kinda writer I like... such an *bannedASSword* too.... I should have read the book during summer, but... there was much better books to be read... only got to page 100 and think I'll try and wing it!

    Lolita... love the prose thus far and already on page 80... could be a favourite; but it is too soon to tell... looks slightly over written... maybe fifty pages too long...? Time will tell... Lolita better not tell! ;-p Read any other Nabokov's you'd recommend?

    Yo Jude, how's life?

    Just wondering whether it was you who I saw giving Lolita rave reviews? Just picked it up yesterday (not to far in) and was trying to decide who needed the blame/praise if I end up hating/enjoying the book... Maybe I'm mistaken...?
