Taken from another board, occurred about 1:15 apparently -

Finally, a few minutes late, the P.A. comes on and there is the sound of a man snoring. Ms. BB says "Frank, wake up, it's past curfew. Wake up!" In a groggy voice, Frank announces that it's curfew.

Eddie going through kitchen, yelling at chickens. Josh says, "Always with the whining." Curtis jokes, "Not very Fabu."

Eddie goes into boy's room.

Curtis comes into boy's room and asks Eddie if he is going back to bed. Eddie says he is just getting his stuff to do laundry.

Kitchen..

Josh at sink. Jamie sits at table. Curtis comes in and puts pug outside. Jamie says, "She's mad."

Curtis sits at table. Jamie squeaks, "Camera Man!"
Curtis says, "You know we have a ton of eggs. Anyone want eggs for breakfast?"

Jamie says, "I was going to make breakfast, remember?" Curtis asks what she is going to make. She says she doesn't know, she is thinking about it.

After a minute Jamie asks if they were planning anything for the bacon. Curtis says just to save some for when they have sandwiches.

Jamie goes to counter. She says, "Curtis, can you do me a favour?" Curtis says, "Break the eggs, sure."

Jamie says no she wants him to grate cheese. Curtis groans, "Ooh! That is the thing I hate." Jamie repeats, "Oh that is what you don't like doing?" Curtis agrees.

Curtis says he will though if it will help get breakfast together faster, he hates the tiny grater they have, likes the ones that stand up.

Jamie mixing eggs and Curtis grating cheese.

Kitchen..

Curtis grating cheese into red bowl at table. Jamie frying bacon.

Curtis bring the bowl of cheese to counter and watches his hands. Jamie says, "Cool, thankyou Curtis."

Jamie gets eggs from fridge and takes out milk. Jamie says the have lots of milk. Curtis says there are two left.

Jamie chopping mushrooms then an onion. Curtis putting things away in cupboard. He talks to pug. "Hey baby, guess where you are going." He puts Pugita outside.

Jamie finishes chopping onion and washes her fingers at sink. Curtis putting things away says, "I'll get out of your way in one sec."

Curtis asks, "You making omelets?" Jamie says, "Uh huh." Curtis responds, "Yummy."

Jamie works quietly for awhile then she asks Curtis if they are out of vegetable oil. He gets it for her. He says, "You can have fresh or potato flavored." Jamie pours some oil into skillet on stove burner.

Jamie is breaking eggs into bowl. She adds a little milk and seasoning and mixes up with a fork. She gets a spatula. Jamie pours the egg mixture into a skillet on stove. Curtis says, "Mmm."

Jamie says, "It sucks that we don't have a good spatula." Curtis says, "Oh you don't like that one?" Jamie says its warped and gets stuck.

Close-up shot of Jamie lifting edges of omelet to let the liquid eggs run under to cook. Jamie gets the red bowl and sprinkles cheese on top of omelet in pan. She adds bacon to top of omelet.

Jamie breaks more eggs into a bowl. She checks the cooking omelet and takes it off the heat. She slips it onto a plate. She is pleased, "Ah hah, look at that thing!" Curtis says, "You should be so proud."Jamie says that one is for Eddie.

Jamie heads outside and gives it to Eddie. He says, "All right!" She says, "I am so proud, that is my first one. Yours just has cheese and bacon." Eddie thanks her.

Jamie goes back in kitchen and begins the second omelet. She is repeating the omelet making process.

9:45 AM

Curtis is kneading bread in large bowl at table. Jamie is making a bacon and cheese omelet at stove.

Jamie asks Curtis if he is ready. He says "Yeah, I didn't realize I was going to have to make another half butt, hopeing this will make it through the week." (making butt bread)

Josh in kitchen. Jamie gives Josh his omelet. He asks how many eggs are in it. Jamie tells him four. He says, "Awesome."

Jamie goes back to counter and starts the third omelet.

Pugita starts barking. Curtis says, "Shh." He says, "I wonder what she heard." Pugita barks again. Curtis says, "Enough out of you."

Curtis puts bread dough on counter. He asks Josh how he slept. Curtis is thinking. He says, "I have to figure out how to get my stuff from New York to LA." He wonders if it is worth moving it or just dumping it.

Josh asks what he has to move. Curtis gives a list of his furniture, kitchen stuff, VCR, computer, clothes etc." Josh says he is definitely going to need a moving truck.

Josh asks if he still wants to do the trip to Vegas. Curtis says if everyone one is still into it. Jamie pipes up, "I am." Josh says he is. Curits laughs that Britt might be too busy for them.

Curtis says it might cost him a lot to move all that stuff. Josh asks about his mattress. Curtis says its a good one, hard.

Jamie laughs and says, "Isn't it fun shopping for a new mattress?" Curtis laughs, "Yeah jumping on the beds and everything in the showroom." Jamie tells a story about how the last time she shopped for a mattress she ended up going out on a date with the salesman. Curtis says, "Oh yeah?" Jamie says he turned out to belong to the same gym as her. Curtis remarks about the coincedence.

Curtis says his bed was a graduation gift from law suit from his mom. He laughs that his mom wanted to get him a good suit but when he got to New York he thought to himself, "Oh man, I don't have a bed, so my mom got me a bed instead of a suit."

Curtis asks Josh what kind of mattress he has. Josh says he doesn't even know what brand name it is.

Josh tips back in his chair. He says, "Look Jamie, I am saboteuring the chairs!" Curtis and Josh laugh. Jamie says, "I felt so stupide saying that too." She goes on to repeat the story of why she thought chairs were tipped up every day.

All HG in kitchen..

Josh washing dishes. Curtis Jamie and Eddie sitting at table. Pugita sitting on floor beside Curtis.

Curtis says, "At least she hasn't farted in awhile." Eddie says, "We haven't given her cream cheese." Josh says, "Training week was bad." Curtis agrees, "No more cream cheese for you. You were totally rotten on the insides."

Eddie gets up to help Josh do dishes. Josh washing and Eddie drying.

Jamie says, "I never made a presentable omelette before, I tried them and they always stuck and I ended up making them scrambled."

Curtis says non-stick pans work wonders. Curtis says you can cook the toppings like mushroom through and just throw on the pan before adding the egg. Jamie says she put his mushrooms on the top. She says she only put mushrooms on Curtis'.

Curtis asks if she has been to those buffet style breakfasts and seen how the chefs make the individual omelettes while you watch. She says, "Oh yeah they do put the stuff on the bottom and then pour the eggs over. Then they just put the cheese on top."

Curtis and Jamie sit in silence, drinking coffee.

Jamie says, "Curtis are you fond of Jane Fonda?"
Curtis says he doesn't really think about it. He asks if she is. Jamie talks about how she saw her interviewed on Oprah and she was so amazing. She says she hadn't thought about her before. Josh joins them at the table.

Curtis says, "So your answer is..." Jamie laughs, "Yes, I was really impressed with her, she is so amazing." Jamie talks about Jane Fonda for several minutes. All about Jane Fonda, her age, her acting, attitude about living in Hollywood, marriages and divorces she has had etc etc etc. Jamie basically re-runs through the entire Oprah/Fonda interview.

Jamie says, "It was really interesting to hear someone open up that much and talk about personal things." Jamie goes on that she really related to things Jane Fonda said and so did Oprah, it was interesting how women with such different backgrounds had similiar experiences. She says Fonda called it the need to please. Jamie thinks she does that. Women are brought up to please. In conclusion she thinks that Cassandra would really relate to that and so would Britt.

Curtis and Josh just listening. Jamie continues about how its "weird" in society how women are trying hard to be assertive and they come up against a wall. Jamie says, "What do you guys think? or do you think about things like that."

Josh says he was raised to treat everyong the same. He recognizes society has double standards for women. He mentions in engineering there is a big discrepancy between numbers of men and women in the profession. He thinks it is one of those things in the culture where it is just because it has been a certain way for so long. He thinks women are just as smart and it will change.

Jamie brings up social conditions for women and other social issues relating to raising daughters. She says people view actions different depending on the gender. Gives an example of a girl being rowdy in a bar or a guy and how the girl is viewed differently.

Jamie wants Curtis' opinion. He has a bit different outlook. Law schools are 50/50 now. He personally she women succeeding as much as men in his field. He goes on about how even if "old school" law firm has almost 50% women partners. He doesnt look at the female partners as less feminine but he says they are not "girly." He mentions a partner that had a baby and came back and carried on a big case. He says nobody views her as a ball-breaker but nobody would mess with her either. He talks more about the women in his firm. He admires and respects them.

Jamie gives another speech about how she believes. She doesn't think Curtis answered her question. She wants to read him a quote so he can understand what she means. She asks him if he wants to hear it.

Curtis answers, "No, but I have a feeling I am going to hear it anyway." Josh bursts out laughing.

Jamie is slightly offended. She says she won't get it then. Curtis says to go ahead. Jamie says it doesn't sound like he wants to hear it.

Jamie asks would he rather just talk about it or does this subject just bore him. Curtis says if it bored him he would just walk away. Josh says he isnt bored. Jamie goes to get her book with the quote. She returns and starts reading a long passage.

(Anyone interested in covering this?)

I hope someone else has been getting the current conversation.. I was across the room using it as radio..

Jamie brought up Jane Fonda asked Curtis what he thought of her.. he didn't seem to have any strong thoughts..

more convo.. Jamie talked about the article/interview of Jane in the Oprah magazine

Curtis asked if Jamie was impressed and he had to
push a bit to get her to express the opinion that she thought Jane was awesome.

Then the subject (from the article) about women being enculturated to be "feminine" and if they were agressive or bright they "sacrifice feminity".

Curtis and Josh seemed to be reluctant to get into this and then when they did, had to make a point of getting Jamie to let them finish their points they were making..

Curtis used examples from lawschool (50-50 enrollment) and his law firm, an old boys network, but lately they've made equal # of new woman partners..

He made some good points that he didn't see these successful women as not feminine, though they may not wear excessive makeup,girly voices etc (more good points but.. this has gone fast and I'm way behind).. he made the point that some of the most powerful litigators were women and that they weren't seen as ball-breakers at all within the firm.

Josh tried to say that he was raised to see people as people.. Jamie overrode him and he said he cannot know what it is to be a woman. Said in engineering it is still heavily male, tho lots of the women are really smart, often smarter than he is.

Jamie kept giving Jane Fonda's opinions, Oprah's opinions.. then said did they want to hear a quote.. they really didn't.. but Jamie pushed the point and they both said.. sure, they wanted to hear the quote.. she ran to get the magazine..

Then accused Curtis of being bored. He said if he was bored he'd have walked away.

So.. Jamie read a portion of the interview with Jane and Oprah.. and.. silence..

They've continued to talk..Josh had more points, and stressed that he grew up with women, so isn't totally unable to relate..

Curtis too.

(ed. I think they, and I know I, would actually like to know what Jamie thinks, personally).

Jamie talking about selling memberships at the health club.. but no women in management.. she could sell memberships on her own time but the manager would get the comission but that was the only way for her to make it.. so she did that!!

The guys express that is terrible..

She says the guy owned 8 gyms, no women managers.

Jamie says women better salesmen, not perceived as high pressure.

She was the top for months and made assistant manager, and then manager. It was crazy, she has a lot of stories. She thought it was hard for men in 30s and 40s to have Jamie be the boss.. interesting to watch their "issues".

talking about one of her guys post dating a credit card that was in lost and found.. used it for a family membership, post dated.. got traced..
she had to fire him.. but it was a good experience. Apparently that was a key item in her recommendation for grad school.

Now she laughs watching salespeople at gyms.. suckers.. she says always join gym around a holiday.. christmas , etc specials.

Curtis says women seem to be less pressure when you buy a membership as compared to men.

Pug arrives, one of the guys welcomes her.

gonna post (check if 20 people posted this convo)
Curtis keeps trying using example of the CEO of
Hewlett-Packard, says she is feminine but incredibly powerful.. he's worked with her. Jamie thinks she's awesome.

(ed. Curtis will be pleased to know that this woman has recently been made Chairman at HP)

Curtis has made points that makeup,, cheerleading, etc. doesn't make someone feminine.

(I've missed some while typing.. too bad..)

Jamie talked more about bringing up children, what Jane said about schools, parents, etc, steering girls to be less assertive, act less bright, etc (all really valid points)

Noslonna, I'm burning out on this convo..

Topic of cops on bikes or horses.. Curtis sasy in NY mostly for special events, he thinks.. Josh mentions bike cops.. Eddie says he's seen some cops like that on Long Island.. Eddie playing with pug (I guess he came inside awhile back).

He announces it is 11:01.

Josh and Curtis like horseback riding. Donkey riding :)

Josh says a cow can be like a pet.. Curtis says, and then dinner.. Josh says they have one that is like a dog.

Eddie mooos.

Jamie mentions George as a cow (from the painting day).

Curtis says he's wanted to ride the donkeys (burros?) to the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
Asks how fast they go.. Josh says fast, powerful, gliding.

Curtis hates trotting (I think riding a trotting beast).

Eddie says he'll ride in another life.. Curtis asks what about with a prosthesis. Eddie says no you have to have the muscle control..

Curtis talks about riding lessons.

Josh talks about a trail ride, horse in front of him had the worst gas... Eddie says maybe the rider..

Curtis talks about riding in Brasil.. Jamie asks how long.. two weeks.. he says safety isn't an issue there, but it was fun.. galloping around.

He talks about the waterfalls there, a mile wide, goes on forever. in Paraguay, Argentina and Brasil. Jamie asks if you can swim in it.. Curtis says rapids, pretty strong.

Jamie asks if he danced in Brasil.. he says just once but it was pretty mellow, not the highlight of the trip.

Eddie has head on arms at table..

a moment of silence..

sighs..

Curtis leaves table.

Guys sitting at table. Josh telling a funny story about his room mate. Just got the final laughter. Curtis says, "That's funny."

Eddie is holding pug. He puts her down. Josh leaves table and goes outside. Curtis is working on his bread dough, forming loaves.

Eddie says he is going to pass out by the pool. Curtis says, "There you go." Eddie calls to pug, "Come on stupid, let's go out." Eddie and Pugita head outside.

Josh is laying on pool deck. Eddie streches out in sun by pool too. Eddie and Josh exchange a few comments then both are silent.
