The Search for Mr. Right Now Continues....

[catelin]

It was ever so gently pointed out to me in an email that I'd been remiss of late in my proposals to impossibly famous (or not-so-famous) men who don't even know I'm alive. So, in keeping with the spirit of my quest:

Hey, Ian Rankin, will you marry me?

Met him once. Funny Scottish guy.

No wonder I'm not married yet!

How is it you keep meeting all my dream dates??? Heh! ; )

Daily Dose of my own cultural illiteracy

[raindog.livejournal.com]

Hey big girl,

For some reason this morning, I thought of that guy we shared the dungeon-like attic closet with at Tech. The one you simultaneously kept perpetually off-balance and in a state of hopelessly unconsumatable (Is that a word? did I just invent a new word?) crush. What the heck was his name???????????

Re: Daily Dose of my own cultural illiteracy

Hahahaha!!! Oh my god!! I hadn't thought of him for years! What WAS his name? I remember he was from Mississippi or some deep south state and he was so serious all the time. Did it start with an F? No!!! It was Martin Brown!!!!!! Isn't that it? MARTIN BROWN, WHERE ARE YOU?????

Martin Brown, where are you?

[raindog.livejournal.com]

Ok, Brown does not ring a bell, but I'm not sure the last name ever registered on my radar screen. Yeah -- where the heck are ya' Martin? Are you reading this right now, having somehow found CC's site?? Or are you married, living with your wife and six children in Albania where you study the post-modern meaning of goat's milk in the liturgical soldier's diet?

Re: Daily Dose of my own cultural illiteracy

[catelin.livejournal.com]

I think his name was actually Martin LUTHER Brown!!!

Re: Daily Dose of my own cultural illiteracy

[raindog.livejournal.com]

No way -- I just read this AFTER I posted my post-modern liturgical comment. Do you suppose it was not supposition after all, but rather an ESP-inspired glimpse of Martin's real destiny?!?!

Now all that remains is for blackhellkat to give a portrait of Mr. Rankin her own special touch.

Woot!

Ah! That would be toooooooo good!!! Calling BHK, calling BHK! We need you!!!

Strains of Bewitched

*giggling*
Sounded a bit like...
"Calling Dr. Bombay, Calling Dr. Bombay"

(at least to me....long week)

Re: Strains of Bewitched

[catelin.livejournal.com]

Oh, if only everything were as easy as calling Dr. Bombay! ; ) I love that show!!!

Oh, BTW, I see you have membered into nonduality. Hope you enjoy it. Looking forward to your contributions.

Glad to see that really insightful, intelligent people are among the first to notice it.
Incidentally, I intuit that you dropped me off your friends list because there is a certain redundancy with my posts to both my journal and automaticwriter. Is this a fair assumption?

kalemachka

[catelin.livejournal.com]

It looks like a very interesting community. The topic is a fascinating one. I actually removed you from my friends list during the whole kalemachka/superfly debacle. That just wasn't the sort of thing I enjoyed reading about, so I took both of you off. Had I realized what a boorish prick he was earlier, I'd have probably done that long before I did. I will be happy to return you to my list, since I've kept up with you anyway through other communities/friends' journals, if you'd like. I enjoy your writing and your comments, so I hope this hasn't offended you. I'm honest to a fault sometimes, but there you have it.

Thanks for the recommendation.

I don't usually like crime stories and mysteries, but I've been looking for a good read, so I'll give it a go.

It's gotten so bad here that on my vacation last week I read all the the way through three supremely girly novels a friend of mine lent me -- the kind of novel where the townspeople are ethnic and quaint, and nothing of interest really ever happens to anyone. My thanks to authors Anne Lamotte (get over your northern California Jesus fixation please, and get a damn plotline), Lorna Landvik (Fried Green Tomatoes in a the Scandinavian midwest) and some other woman who wrote a love story for a woman in her late 30's who meets the man of her dreams somewhere in Tennessee.

Transport me to Scotland, PLEASE.

My usual question...

[raindog.livejournal.com]

So who is this Ian Rankin???
