While the world turned, Presidents did stuff and people got mad...

[joegoda]

I watched Abe Sapiens and Hellboy get smashed on beer and listen to Barry Manilow. Whatta hoot! While I was doing that, I was making some fairly decent peanut butter cookies, using Peter Pan, which is my favorite. I am at day 17 of the no smoking stuff, and you know... I still find it hard to write. I'll get past it.

Now, I'm also thinking about the next chapter of Cantata, in which Herbert finds that a heart can heal and that time, besides being a royal cheat, can also bring good things every single day.

I also think I'd like to find an adult to go play with on my days off, on occasion. I know, I know... I have lots of friends out there, but I gotta tell ya, much as I love them, I feel like I would keep them from doing something important in their lives. I mean... They is very, very busy, you know? Eh, I'll figger something out. It's probably just this goofy atmospheric disturbance we're all going through.

Then again... "Dere's a raisin I lives alone, son." He tipped his fedora back and the gleaming white band reflected the noon day sun. The eye of a peacock feather peeked out at me from that band, and I think it winked at me. "I don't has to 'splain why I does stuff, I don't has to 'spain when I does stuff, and I don't has to 'splain the stuff I does."

Ya'll play nice with each other. I'm watchin' Timothy Hutton in Legacy. I think he's better than his dad.

The cookies are pretty good, actually. Better than last time. Tell me, Ma' Cheri... what do you think of Pasta Makers? Yes, no? I just figured mine out (It has no manual), and I still haven't figured mine out. I think I need to find a stiffer flour, which I understand happens as a man gets older.

[bleuberi21.livejournal.com]

I have never made pasta before, so I would be the wrong person to ask about that. I betcha Susi has, though. What kind of flour are you using? Most pasta is made with semolina.

[joegoda.livejournal.com]

Salmonella?? No way will I use... oh. Wait.

See how smart you are? You already KNEW! You should be a baker type person.

[ladyniniane.livejournal.com]

She's correct. Pasta is not usually made with regular flour, but with semolina flour, which makes a much stiffer dough.

And she is a baker-kind of person - a good one!

[shackrlu.livejournal.com]

She kinda sorta IS a baker type person..;-) Plus she looks awfully cute in the hat!

[aoifemacewen.livejournal.com]

I told you that you needed to use semolina flour Sunday night, remember??

[joegoda.livejournal.com]

Shhhhh... can't you see I'm hitting on a baker person?? I mean, a different baker person.

Yes, twin, I remember. I've also read a bit about mixing corn starch into the mix with some of the pastas.

[bleuberi21.livejournal.com]

Lol...I am a Food Network JUNKIE. That's how I knew what kind of flour. ;0)

I just fell in love with Legacy last week. I had recorded 3 episodes but had yet to watch them..I'm hooked. Of course I've been in love with Timothy Hutton since "Made in Heaven" in 1987, but his Dad played a good Ellery Queen.

[joegoda.livejournal.com]

I think his dad did a dandy Ellery Queen! But admit it... wasn't Jim just kinda goofy looking? Kinda like Fred McMurry, who I also liked, but still...

[shackrlu.livejournal.com]

Yes, Jim was a goofy kind of cute..and Timothy...is just Yummy!

[joegoda.livejournal.com]

You realize that for me to agree with you about Timothy, I'd have to show that softer Metrosexual side of me. What I like about him is that he does have that yummy side, but I can tell by looking at him that it hasn't always been roses. The boy's been around, you know?

[shackrlu.livejournal.com]

Yes, I can tell..and I agree. That hint of the bad boy, the hint of tough times...that's part of what makes him Yummy! ;-)

You do remember that you need to come up here and visit sometime. Riley needs to have someone periodically come get him out of the house and play, just as you do.

[joegoda.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... That would be Parsons, Kansas, right? Which is where you would find a Brother.... I'll just have to make it up that way soon!

[ladyniniane.livejournal.com]

Yes, brother dear, you will find a brother william here, in Parsons. Or maybe down there tomorrow evening, if all goes well.

I am so proud of you! Eric and I are now on day 20 of being smoke free. Over all it is not too bad, but there are times it truly sucks! LOL

[joegoda.livejournal.com]

I am so proud of you guys too! Means that Eric will be able to hold those notes longer, doesn't it? Yep, it sucks sometimes, specially when I have nothing to distract me. I may have to find someone to date just to keep me from thinking about it.

Hope to see you two soon! Don't know where, but soon!

[shackrlu.livejournal.com]

YaY!! Go you and Eric!! I just finished day 18 myself..and some days it truly sucks!! LOL

[capi.livejournal.com]

Huh.

if a capi lived nearby, SHE'd go play wiv you often and often! she would she would she would!! FUN!!!!

what you need is a commune to live in so you could both hermit AND have lots of folks nearby that you could play with right handy to play with when you felt like it... and not feel like you wuz intrudin' (and you isn't, in case ou hasn't been listenin' to them tell you that time and time again. They loves you, silly Boo-Boo!).

i jist wishes i wuz there.

And Day 17 is a very special day, sez i! YAY!!!!!!! GO YOU!!!!!!!!

And so iz peanut-butter cookies made wiv Peter Pan! HA!

Aw, silly sis, you know and I know that these grownups have things to do on the days I'm off work. They have lives and loves and jobs and things and stuff and a whole nuther world to take care of. And you know and I know that they would say to me that it wouldn't be an intrude, and you know and I know that it would too be an intrude, because they have all that other stuff to take care of.

A commune is a wonderfully perfect idea in a wonderfully perfect world with wonderfully perfect people. Maybe someday, Capi m'dearest.

I wishes my sisses was here too. The world is waiting, and you could go to Parsons with me and see Riley an Becky!

[capi.livejournal.com]

*nods* Yes, you are right, all those wonderful grownups have things to do when you have time off....

But the ones that love you? Those ones count YOU as one of the things on their priority list of things they want to include. I know you have trouble believing that, but it's truth, plain and simple. They value you, just like i does. *grin* Want you to be part of some of their spare time, even if it's only a little bit. Some of them, believe it or not, want it to be a BIG bit!

((((( fierce loving hugs )))))) Truth.

[joegoda.livejournal.com]

Thanks, dear. And that's what it is... working on stopping, every single day. Sometimes every single moment.

[ericcaptdrake.livejournal.com]

Wow you quit smoking. Thats awesome!! I'm sorry Ive really been out of the loop. I'm proud of you. Hugs brother

[joegoda.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Eric! I've quit 3 times before, so I figured I'd join the rest of you. Oh, and you haven't been out of the loop, you just had a whole 'nuther loop goin' on. The Dogges are moving pretty darn fast, huh? Talk about being proud of something!
