RN, Nic, it seems like the poetry thread has been archived! I just ate the yummiest powerbar for lunch.

Right now...I have the biggest goose bump and tears! A tenor named Ronan Tynan from Ireland just announced that it is 3:00am in Afghanistan and Iraq, and that there are soldiers from Canada and America tuning in to watch the hockey game between the Buffalo Sabres and the New York Rangers, and then dedicated the following song to them. As he sang, "America the Beautiful" in the most beautiful, melodic tenor, a visual montage of soldiers over there waving Sabre colors, or Rangers insignia...was shown. I can't even imagine what it was like for the home town folks to see their own. Me, I cried like a baby. Well done, Buffalo!

RN, I am REALLY hoping that I get one of the 2 research positions I applied for....becuase I'm leaving my job now in 2 days, and I really don't want to be unemployed for too long. I should have probably kept my current job until I found my other one, but this job now has gotten so rediculous with the people there that it's not worth it to stay. I'm one of their best employees, have been there the longest (Almost 2 years) on my shift, know how to do almost everything in the store, and I STILL get no respect whatsoever. I even got b!cthed out by my "supervisor"(And I use that term loosely) in a most UN-professional manner, in front of customers and my co-workers. Needless to say, that was the end of that, especially since they're making her Asst. Manager of the store, which is a complete and utter joke. So, this turned into more of a rant than I was expecting. Haha RN, I'm off to bed to get some rest for my SECOND LAST day of work!

RN Neko, how dare she b*tch you out! What was it for? We could get up a contention of boot-wearing women from the board to take care of her for ya. LOL RN I'm bummed. It was bad enough that when I found out about the Steely Dan concert in Niagara Falls it was already sold out. Now another sell out that I missed. Al Gore was at UB tonight and he was sold out when I found out about him too. He was showing his film and giving a talk about it. Crap. I really would have loved to be there.

Right now I'm drinking the most delicious white wine I've had since I was in New Zealand. It's Joie / A Noble Blend 2005, made in the Okanagan Valley, BC.

RIGHT NOW there's a movie on the SPACE channel that I was an 'extra' in when I was 22, David Cronenberg's 1977 horror flick RABID, a modern vampire-type story, I guess. I've never seen it before. My scene: A bunch of us are in a subway car and a 'rabid' person starts attacking/biting passengers, so we all run screaming out of the subway car at the next stop. I have no idea if my scene was cut, or if I missed my scene tonight, (I just tripped over the movie and missed 20 minutes so far) or if my scene is going to be on shortly. I HATE scary movies with a passion, but will sit through this to see if my scene is there. Trivia... this was supposed to be porn star Marilyn Chambers 'breakout' straight movie. LOL. I think I just saw a very young Kim Catrall (Sex and the City) in it... Phew, it's not really scary, it's really more cheesy than anything else. Trivia, Cronenberg is best known for directing the remake of The Fly, Dead Ringers, and Crash. Geez, I hope I didn't miss my scene, that would suck (pun intended!) I hate watching gory crap. Not sure if this is on in the U.S. - Do you guys have the SPACE channel? This is supposed to be part of the Freaky Friday movies.

RN, I have one bad stinking cold and cheast congestion. Earlier, felt like I was running fever, but it was actually below normal. Tried to just stay in bed all day and drink, drink liquids. Then I just peeded it all out! Up, down, drink, drink, up, pee, down, drink drink. I need a break. Hopefully I can sleep tonight. What a way to start the weekend and our weather is just beautiful! RN, I was so excited to see on the news about David Hawkins taking a ride in that zero gravity airplane. He seemed so happy and excited.

RN - I don't think I missed my scene in the movie yet. The main character just arrived in Montreal, where my scene was filmed.

Well the scene was NOT cut... it's there. But it was a CROWDED subway scene and it went so fast that it was a blur. I'll have to rent it and slo-mo through it to find myself, if I can recognize myself 30 years ago! LOL. Oh well, it was fun reliving the memory of filming it.

RN - Yankee, lol, please let me know if ya find me. Cuz it's gonna be like Where's Waldo! I know if Vin was up, he is really observant and nothing escapes him, and he would probably have spotted me. He has to work tomorrow so he went to bed just as I started to watch the film. BTW, tonight was Frightmare Friday on the SPACE Channel, not Freaky Friday... (shrug)

RN Yankee, the most fun I've had tonight is seeing all the Canadian stars I've interviewed over the years. Almost every scene has someone I've met! It's really a super trip down memory lane. I'm having a ball.

RN, Mameblanche, that's so cool. You'll have to give me a hint where to look in the subway scene, though. I'll definitely look it up ... I'm silly that way

RN Yankee - I am 98.2% POSITIVE that if it's freeze framed, I'm there. The scene lasts a few moments actually. Okay, they show one of the main characters, this gal, going into the subway car, they do several camera pans/shots of the folks in the subway car. The gal remains standing holding onto a pole, but a seated older woman starts foaming at the mouth and her eyes start dripping green stuff. LOL. She's freaking out the other passengers, then she lunges for the man sitting next to her. At this point the subway stops and everyone runs screaming out of the subway car. There are lots of closeups but the scene goes so fast! I was probably wearing those boxy shaped eyeglasses that were so popular in the 70's or cat's eye shaped glasses, not sure, unless I took them off for vanity, can't remember.

RN hubby just texted me and said he wanted a Harley. I sent him one back and told him to tell his boss - who is working with him too - that he can't go to next week's Harley roast because it would be detrimental to his marriage. *L* They were supposed to get out of there an hour ago but there's about 50 Harley's parked all around the van so they can't get out. Hmmmm, yeah right. *L*

RN I'm trying to figure out who was needing a cure for getting the squirrels to stop eating their strawberry plant. I have itTo keep squirrels from eating your plants sprinkle your plants with cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper doesn't hurt the plant and the squirrels won't come near it. RN Yippee Neko! Good luck on the new job hunt.
