Missed VM last night, so I hope crankygrrl's demonic digital cable/VCR setup got it. I blame LJ, also the fact that it's bloody freezing out (literally, I'm going to have to dig out my winter coats somehow -- I hope they're in the house, not the storage boxes) and I didn't feel like trekking out to the Beaches just to sit on my own and watch TV. Maybe on the weekend I'll examine the situation and see if I can watch the tape.

Jen, Shan and I invented a reality TV series over the breakfast buffet Saturday in Vegas. Long story involving biscuits and gravy (it's as scary as Cranky says!), Shannie's mother, and every grocery item in Northern Ontario costing $5, but it would sort of be a competition to create the best meal plan from a given budget. We could pit kids against parents or families against families, and each team could have a dietitian coach, and they'd be judged on nutritional value and taste and perhaps whether the other team would actually eat it at the end of it. I think it's a winner. Anyone have any contacts at the Food Network?

I have a contact at Home and Garden TV/Alliance.

My contact at Food is someone I try at all costs to avoid speaking to.

You interested in a short term Beach sublet? There's a vacancy in Thé's apartment starting in December. He lives down at the lake, right near woodbine (living room overlooks the park/boardwalk--right near Lakeshore + Woodbine/the Olympic pool.

Come to think of it, Jen has met my contact connected with Food, and she despises him, I believe.

That would make it more complicated, although perhaps fun for the spectators.

Um. Who are you?

Thanks, but the reason I ditched my apartment was I couldn't afford mortgage+rent. I'm living rent-free and may soon just move in regardless (Jen says we're almost out of money, so it won't matter how finished we are... right?). *sigh*

uh, I think you've just come up with another reality pitch.

{{hugs}}

twill all work out!

[electricland.livejournal.com]

:D

Yup. Stay tuned.

I thought it might be you. Haven't seen you in an AGE! How are you and S, and how is the rapidly-becoming-less-wee one?

[electricland.livejournal.com]

Oh yes! Have to keep reminding myself that regardless of anything else, at least we DO own the house, and most of the boring hard stuff is done.

anyway, I've lived in houses under renovation all my life -- what's one more?

[raithen.livejournal.com]

Exactly! In fact, one might say you are continuing a lauded family tradition!!

[monkeycommando.livejournal.com]

We are all quite well thank you.

We were very sorry to hear about your grandmother. I just noticed your posting yesterday, then got tied up about e-condolence notes. She obviously has quite the living legacy.

I have been thinking about getting to gether with some Vegas voyagers, perhaps tonight, or over the weekend?

[electricland.livejournal.com]

that would be lovely! Thursday is choir night for me, so weekend would be better, but don't let that stop you...

and thank you for the condolences; we will miss her a whole lot, but given that she was mostly hale and hearty right up until the age of 94 we can't really complain that she was taken from us untimely. And she would have HATED to decline the way Grandaddy did.

Hiho,

Unless they change things this week, UPN generally repeats VM on Saturday or Sunday night.

Cu,
Andrew

*achem*

Empty my mailbox soon, please?

[electricland.livejournal.com]

Yes, miss. And will there be anything else today? ;)

I did mean to go, but it's COLD here. And you weren't there. So really, what was the point?

[electricland.livejournal.com]

Hmmm! Good to know! I shall check this out.
