condi CONDI!
She's a fitness buff who likes to unwind by working out to music by heavy-metal legends Led Zeppelin.

In February 2001, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon told reporters he was distracted the first time he met her. "I have to confess, it was hard for me to concentrate in the conversation with Condoleezza Rice because she has such nice legs."

She says she can fall asleep just about anywhere — even once in a helicopter flying over the Gaza Strip.

Head on over to the Boomis Babe Report and send in your *MODEL* application. Most amusing: everyone's comment aliases. YES! I read this occasionally for a peek behind enemy lines, so to speak...

SING ALONG WITH ME
:

Hey, YOU, getOFFA my Cloud!



I worked in Gary, IN Friday
driving through "one of your thick north-Indiana fogs-- thank God it obliterates the view-- in a rented Tracer bearing me into... nowhere. The middle of nowhere. Oh, not the middle of nowhere like the rest of Indiana, but a nowhere so fat and ugly you want to lie down in a ditch and never get up again. A shriveled, worn-out, beatup cornstalk nowhere, the kind of place where the cream of society is the owner of the IGA grocery mart. The sort of spot where a girl is said to have 'made it big' when she ascends to the position of lap-counter for Mario Andretti. Where the men strive in the Hammond steel mills or strain in the barley fields in which they were born to die. This is the sticks, honey"
......E Jean Carroll

Now that I think about it, my bad haircut is OK!
"Four years ago I had dinner at Lotus - Donald Trump and Melania Knauss were a few tables away. You've got to give them big points for consistency - their behavior was so exactly what you'd expect that they almost seemed like a hologram projection. Even four years ago Trump's hair was insane - I think it had its own dinner and a bottle of champagne. The girlfriend didn't even pretend to eat."

Mystery Protest
from the NYTimes (Sept 1): "Roughly an hour later, dozens of officers responded to an obscure corner near the exchange at South William Street and Mill Lane, where protesters had stretched a ball of yarn across the street.

Within minutes, 14 young people sat handcuffed and seated with their backs to a wall near the short pedestrian mall, surrounded by three or four times as many police officers. Several balls of red and yellow yarn were strewn about the street, and a boom box sat nearby with a sign on a bedsheet reading "Celebrate the Power of Money." One of the protesters wore a pinstriped suit and a beret.

"Afterwards, everyone dined on a feast of chicken fingers, ribs and waldorf salad while music played from a boombox."

Sheez - kinda sounds like my wedding (at least the Waldorf Salad part!), except for this at the reception...

"New bride Britney also donned a pink sweatsuit as she danced with her new hubby, and even performed a provocative pole dance..."

ChicKnits wants to know: What the H happened to a nice little Chicken Dance? In the world of Midwest Wedding lore, one is NOT Officially married until *chickened* by friends and family. Don't you North Shore Folk try and deny this one either :)

It had to Happen...

Last night's episode of CSI: New York cashed in on the Hip to Knit Fad. Featured Murder Weapon du Jour?

A knitting needle!

ChicKnits scoffs in their general direction however, because when the owner of said needle was initially interogated, she explained testily how knitting calms her down and held up a dog blanket to prove her point.

ALAS! It was a funky crocheted afghan...

if you're happy and you know it, turn the volmne up and Blow It Out!

1.) Total amount of music files on your computer: I just got an iPod - am in the process of siphoning off my faves from my CD collection - am at about 5 Gb. THIS IS MORE FUN THAN a barrel of Sock Monkeys! I was never much into my current CD player because it needed to be fed so often. I used to have a 5-disk cartridge model, but that one bit the dust when a friend's kid forced the cartridge into the player upside down. This kid was the only kid at an adult party and he was, in his words: "bored"...

My iPod lives in the house in a JBL On Stage donut speaker. WHOOT!

2.) The last CD you bought was: Believe it or not, my shoe obsession is only surpassed by my CD/Tunes obsession. I was (self)banned from Best Buy for YEARS after I would go by on Friday nights after work and suck all the CDs out of the music department into my cart.

I actually broke down and bought a couple of CDs when I was in Borders around Christmas: Norah Jones/"Feels Like Home"; Yo-Yo Ma/"obridgado BRAZIL"; and Sinatra/"Classic Performances".
I LOVE all types of music...

3.) What is the last song you listened to before reading this message: "Rich Girl"/Gwen Stefani with Eve

4.) Write down 5 songs you listen to often or that mean a lot to you: oooohhh, too many to narrow this down - how about whatever just flings out of my mind right now... I've been on an 80's bender and love me a song by REM called "Half a World Away". Everytime I hear Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me" I burst into tears. "Ruby Tuesday" by the Rolling Stones - I have a tattoo on my upper left arm that reads "Ruby" and it's been the tattoo's favorite for years. Nirvana/"Come as You Are" - from Unplugged. Kermit Ruffins & the Barbecue Swingers/"Peep This Groove Out". Snopp Dogg/"Beautiful." Sinatra/"ZING Went the Strings of My Heart".

5.) Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons) and why? My good friend Diane, who is a Music Super FREAK; my friend Lorri - who has been on a cool Roots bender; and my friend Alan who is a World Music Guru...

Hopefully, some iMixes will land in my mailbox... I LOVE cruising other people's Playlists on iMix...

...thanks Jackie

Perelandra
by C. S. Lewis

ooooh...
I've been enjoying this second book in the Trilogy - just finished


Out of the Silent Planet

the trilogy's first volume. Perelandra continues the adventures of Dr. Ransom and his interplanetarey quest of good vs. evil. I'm finding it alternately corny (Lewis is a hilarious writer and lampoons all sorts of period social evils) and downright SCARY. Me thinks I should find less provacative Bedtime Reading?

...an oldie but goodie from the Yahoo KnitList

KNITTERS NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Twas the night before Christmas and all around me
There was unfinished knitting not under the tree,
The stockings weren't hung by the chimney with care
'Cause the heels and the toes had not a stitch there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
But I had not finished the caps for their heads.
Dad was asleep---he was no help at all.
And the sweater for him was 6" too small.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I put down my needles to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash.
Tripped over my yarn and fell down in my stash.
The tangle of yarn that lay deep as the snow
Reminded me how far I still had to go.

When out on the lawn I heard such a noise,
I was sure it would wake up both Dad and the boys.
And although I was tired--my brain a bit thick,
I knew in a moment that it must be St Nick.

Yet what I heard left me very perplex-ed
For nothing I heard was what I expect-ed.
"Move Rowan! Move Patons! Move Koigu and Clover!
Move Shelridge! Move Starmore! Move Spinrite!
Move over!

Lopi, don't circle around, just stand there in line.
Pay attention you sheep and you'll work out just fine!
I know this is hard as it's just your first year
But I'd hate to go back to 8 tiny reindeer."

I peered over the sill. What I saw was amazing:
Eight wooly sheep on my lawn all a-grazing!
And then in a twinkle, I heard at the door
Santa's big boots stomping on the porch floor.

I rose from my knees and got back on my feet.
As I turned around, St Nick I did meet.
He was dressed all in wool from his head to his toe
And his clothes were hand knit from above to below.

A bright Fair Isle sweater he wore on his back.
And his toys were all stuffed in an Aran knit sack.
His hat was a wonder of bobbles and lace
A beautiful frame for his rosey red face.

The scarf on his neck could have stretched for a mile,
And the socks peeking over his boots were Argyle.
On the back of his mitts was an intricate cable.

And suddenly on one I spotted a small label:
"S.C." in duplicate on the cuff.
So I asked, "Hey, Nick, did YOU knit all this stuff?"
He proudly replied, "Ho, ho, ho, yes I did.
I learned how to knit when I was just a kid."

He was chubby and plump, a well dressed old man,
And I laughed to myself, for I'd thought up a plan.
I flashed him a grin and jumped up in the air,
And the next thing he knew, he was tied to a chair.

He spoke not a word, but looked down in his lap
Where I had laid my needles and yarn for a cap.
He began then to knit, first one cap then 2--
For the first time I thought I might really get through.

He put heels in the stockings and toes in some socks,
While I sat back drinking a scotch on the rocks. Quickly like magic his needles they flew,
Good Grief! He was finished by two!

He sprang for his sleigh when I let him go free,
And over his shoulder he looked back at me.
I heard him explain as he sailed past the moon,
"Next year, start your knitting sometime around JUNE!

Perelandra
by C. S. Lewis

ooooh...
I've been enjoying this second book in the Trilogy - just finished


Out of the Silent Planet

the trilogy's first volume. Perelandra continues the adventures of Dr. Ransom and his interplanetarey quest of good vs. evil. I'm finding it alternately corny (Lewis is a hilarious writer and lampoons all sorts of period social evils) and downright SCARY. Me thinks I should find less provacative Bedtime Reading?

Angels & Demons

Just your average Christmas story - right? - high ceremony punctuated by conspiracy theory mingled with scavenger hunting starry-eyed super-sleuth civilians...

All that was missing in this over-the-top beat-the-clock nail biter was an appearance by a British Royal! Damn! I thought the 11th Hr. Samaritan would turn out to be Prince Charles (or at least Tony Blair...)

But, I must say, I really enjoyed the mini-cam totin' female videographer. Now if *I* could only figure out how to transmit video LIVE from a catacomb 60 ft underground!

Like many Americans, I am unabashedly HOOKED on WhoDunitz. And not just any wdz, but especially those of the Forensic Mystery genre. For several volumes now, I've been a servant of the bones with the unflappable, unstoppable Kay Scarpetta.

This time out, she is uncharacteristically almost down and out. In what I think is a savvy revival of the flagging series, Cromwell taps the Great American Gothic Myth: the Under Dog!

And Dr. Scarpetta is no chihuahua. Turn Me Loose!

Under the Banner of Heaven
by Jon Krakauer

My mind has been gasping "Only in America" after reading about 3/4 of this incredible investigative book about the real Big Love: polygamy in the remote fundamentalist communities of the S. Utah/N. Arizona border region. But before you end up in that joint backyard, follow the path of the history of the Spiritual Bride - from Joseph Smith to Elizabeth Smart - Krakauer reveals a most incredible look behind the scenes of a cultural cul-de-sac. WHY HBO would want to make a series out of THIS is the biggest mystery of all...

Reading


Under the Banner of Heaven
by Jon Krakauer

My mind has been gasping "Only in America" after reading about 3/4 of this incredible investigative book about the real Big Love: polygamy in the remote fundamentalist communities of the S. Utah/N. Arizona border region. But before you end up in that joint backyard, follow the path of the history of the Spiritual Bride - from Joseph Smith to Elizabeth Smart - Krakauer reveals a most incredible look behind the scenes of a cultural cul-de-sac. WHY HBO would want to make a series out of THIS is the biggest mystery of all...

the Thrall's Tale
by Judith Lindbergh

Think Vikings wore Horned Helmets? Think again - this book deflates some of our tightest held notions about life in the Norse Dark Ages. Lindbergh follows the flight of Eric the Red to Greenland, as told through the perspective of a seeress, a slave (thrall) and her daughter. I was mesmerized by the attention to cultural routine and society in this book - there is a whole lotta WOOL goin' on. THESE were the days one was wrapped in thick Wadmal garments; spun and woven in dark days of winter where your best shelter from the storm was the livestock in your living room. If you are a fan of historical novels, this one will not dissappoint - it is shaded and fraught with deep end close-up views of tasks du jour. But the medieval phrasing and dark dark tone of the characters eventually wore me down to a rune. This is Ms. Lindbergh's first novel - it's good enough to make me wonder what she'll come up with next...

Smilla's Sense of Snow
by Peter Hoeg

Another fascinating tale from Greenland, this time in the nearest past, Smilla's Sense of Snow explores the life of a young half-Intuit woman. Smilla exists in Copenhagen but her heart lives on the open ice of the regions near Thule, Greenland, her childhood home. Caught between the longing for the wide open no-boundary freedoms of her motherland and the modern society of her father's urban lifestyle, Smilla struggles to find her place, her inner peaceful hearth and heart.

She becomes friend and protector of a young Intuit boy in her building, whose alcoholic mother cannot or will not take care of him. His mysterious death becomes the catalyst for her two halves to become whole as she calls on her intuition and intellect to solve his murder.

Peter Hoeg crafts a credible story which works as both a thriller and coming of age story in an Arctic environment not often examined.

Fire Sale
by Sara Paretsky

Yesterday an ordinace passed in the Chicago City Council - it was called the Big Box Bill - and raised the minimum wage of employees working for vendors of a certain *size*.
It also raised hackles galore all over town and brought out the best of the Windy Politician who fights for the right with posturing only born of the Land of Big Shoulders.

I worked on this story right after finishing Fire Sale and have to say I was struck dumb by the lucidity of Paretsky once again.

Like her dectective/basketball coach character, she nails it off the backboard and takes you on a trip like no other. The Crew: a big-box company intent on swallowing up a distressed neighborhood; a fundamentalist minister/community activist who is everywhere and ultlimately no where; a Southside Girl's Basketball team who embody the urban teen experiece honestly and often, painfully; and Warshawky herself, thrown together with a Euro journalist whose pandering feminine wiles get her big results, making Warshawki wonder if changing her pit dog stylings might not life a little easier.

. . . . . . . . . . .

Yesterday an ordinace passed in the Chicago City Council - it was called the Big Box Bill - and raised the minimum wage of employees working for vendors of a certain *size*.
It also raised hackles galore all over town and brought out the best of the Windy Politician who fights for the right with posturing only born of the Land of Big Shoulders.

I worked on this story right after finishing Fire Sale and have to say I was struck dumb by the lucidity of Paretsky once again.

Like her dectective/basketball coach character, she nails it off the backboard and takes you on a trip like no other. The Crew: a big-box company intent on swallowing up a distressed neighborhood; a fundamentalist minister/community activist who is everywhere and ultlimately no where; a Southside Girl's Basketball team who embody the urban teen experiece honestly and often, painfully; and Warshawki herself, thrown together with a Euro journalist whose pandering feminine wiles get her big results, making Warshawki wonder if changing her pit dog stylings might not life a little easier.

"...added to the mix are 7-inch stiletto high heels in black patent leather designed by Paris shoemaker Courtney Crawford. "They're super-high, super-sexy, but she can definitely jump around in them," Ambrose said."
