So let the Chat shine in, face it with a grin. Smilers never lose and frowners never win.

Good morning, all and sundry. Did you have good weekends?

I used to hate tomatoes, but as soon as I heard Hk despised them, I had to convert.

*,mmmmmmmmmmmmm  eats basket of tomatoes(and basket)*

i love tomatoes, i eat a whole can of crushed tomatoes with every meal almost... its called the student diet

i used to hate them as a kid.  now, i can't for the life of me understand my aversion to them back then.  they are so yum!

The best part of tomatoes is how the people that eat them are way smarter, sexier, better 'performers', all around better people.

call me redneck, but non-tomato eaters are an invisible minority, and should be made fun of.

for instance, when we speak to Hk about himself and other non-tomato eaters, we should refer to them as "yer kind" or "thayer kind"

If I was to use that in a sentence I would say:

"Hk, yer kind ain't welcome 'round these parts" *makes shotgun cycling noise*

lol frothy

If I left Lily alone, Lily would grow lonely and bored ;( She NEEDS someone to harass her ;)

that might have once been true HK, but now, it's more of a i need someone to distract me from the piles of work i got here instead of someone needs to entertain me :-D

Good morning room. :)

Offering more evidence of my advanced age: I bought 'Madman Across the Water' this weekend. I think Elton John's best.:)

What is the deal with trying to recreate my once prodigious music collection? Nostalgia? or fear of Cold Play?

I'll go with Nostalgia. Nothing wrong with reliving and reloving once beloved songs.

Whichever, lily. You still need me. ;)

Calgon, take me away!

OK, I amend my statement.

Nothing wrong with certain FORMS of Nostalgia ;)

I also painted my nails candy apple red. Now, what's up with that? Although they are nice and shiny and somewhat amusing :)

OMG. K has that nail polish color, Kathy.

It's my esteemed opinion that it's a little.. um... girly (compared to womanly).

i need to start taking better care of my nails.  i used to paint them and take care of them almost weekly in high school.  but since college and now, the paint doesn't last and i have no time to keep it up.  but they are pretty when i do do it :-)

*strolls in nonchalantly, yet seemingly with indifference, while still projecting an air of unconcern*

Morning all.  Nothing to read in the bathroom this morning but a Thesaurus.

How was the show HK?

"Levon" is my fav EJ tune Ms. Insta!

Nothin wrong with a little red nail polish, I say. :)

The show was a total blast. Oh.. my.. god. The China sketch.

"Bush" to Chinese Leader: So.. I wanted to talk to you about the Air Quality in Beijing. Some of our athletes are feeling worried that the air quality may be too poor for them there. Do they have anything to worry about?

Translator to Leader: Yadda yadda yadda

Leader makes moves while speaking, shows athlete swimming, swimming, coughing, drowned.

Translator: Please to repeat question again?

Oh. My. God. I nearly fell off my chair laughing. :D

I <3 the Capitol Steps. :D

today is robert redfords birthday

i think he's the real reason i like the great gatsby so much

:-D

Thanks Laura :) This particular red reminds me of 40's style vixens, so I'll own the 'girlyness' :D

One of my favs too, Split. 'Tiny Dancer', too. :)
