Meanwhile …

Busy, busy, busy …
I hope to catch up with all of your blogs this weekend (yay for a four day break).

No post today, but the coming soon board here at the Planet (currently a load of scribbled pages in my train notebook) includes some predictable Godbothering for Easter, messy fun with pasta and "Waiting For Godot" with Sir Ian Mc.Kellen and Patrick Stewart.

Book now to avoid missing the disappointment.

Now all I've got to do is wean you away from the awful habit of starting sentences with a lower case letter that you seem to have caught from your reprobate friends online.
xx.

I wondered if you'd be waiting for Godot in more senses than the one. You're quite privileged to have that in your area! I don't look forward to the Godbothering but I'll look in whilst I'm unwrapping chocolate.

I think Alifan merely forgot a couple of dots between theatre and looking, Dive, therefore it was one sentence with breaks. Isn't that right, Alifan? ;)

Ah, both a heathen AND a pedant, Lynn. You know how to make Old Dive happy. Hee hee.

whatswrongwithlowercaseandrunonsentences?

(That's how it would sound if I said that to y'all, sugarpie!)

(I, for one, am truly looking forward to the Easter Sunday post!)

(Additionally, do you have ANY idea how I had to concentrate while I wrote this comment? And JUST for you I used capital letters at the beginning of sentences and as appropriate during the rest of the comment!) ;)

You have quite a weekend planned for us. Thanks.

Shan said...

Baha. Well, I'll be busy entertaining family all weekend and doing all kinds of Easter gymnastics. But Patrick Stewart AND Godbothering?? I'll book an up front seat for Monday and do some nice catching up then. Have a great slightly longer break Dive!!

(If you visit me this weekend, beware the grammatical catastrophes. I can't seem to stop the downhill spiral into poor sentence structure-next thing you know I'll be mixing numbers and letters in words like con10ue or 2morrow. My English prof. bff will surely disown me soon.)

He!He
The heathen,the pedant,the purist.
What else???...

dive said...

Savannah: Lots!
Hee hee.
Thank you for making the effort, by the way.
xoxoxox

Lupine Lady: Planned, maybe, but I may not get around to carrying any of it out; I might well lay on the sofa and watch old movies all weekend.

Shan: Easter gymnastics? That would explain the mysterious references to asymmetric bars and floor routines I heard in Bach's St.John Passion this morning.
And yes, Patrick Stewart, too! Yay!
Though I'll withhold his photo if you start putting numbers in words!

Anonymous: In addition to that lot I think maybe a weird, tennis playing, Parisian dentist / opera buff.

Do you actually DRAFT your blog entries, Dive?

And do you write them on the train??

BTW, don't worry. I've been remiss as well.

Terroni said...

Good. Now I have some time to catch up here. I just finished your latest cooking post.

When I come to visit, you'll cook some tentacled sea creature for me, right? Don't be horribly offended if I eat around the olives. I like the taste of things cooked with olives, and I like tapenade, which is to say, I like olives cut up into lots of teeny tiny bits, but I don't like biting through a whole olive. It's too much somehow.

Weird, eh?

You know what's even weirder? That I felt the need to tell you all of that just now.

Anyhoo...I'm going to back to read your post about the people you live with on the train. I was about half way through it several days ago when I got interrupted by a cat with her head stuck in a grocery bag and a phone call from my mother.

Katie said...

We wait. We are bored. No, don't protest, we are bored to death, there's no denying it. Please provide a diversion; I promise we won't let it go to waste!

Shazza said...

Hey there Dive - I haven't been around the blogosphere either. Too busy with projects around the house. It isn't easy being a domestic Goddess, but I'm trying! :)

Happy Easter! Happy Weekend!

neetzy said...

Oh, you tempt us so.

I will be with Shazza in Philly to see Cezanne tomorrow. We are all celebrating Easter in Jersey on Saturday. I'll be back by Sunday, so please hold my seat.

Katherine: my best blog ideas come on the train or in the bath. I might scribble a few notes in my book but I write the things out stream-of-conscsiousness style.
Hence the garbled garbage most of them become and the awful mangling of English.

Hi, T:
Yup, tentacles and icky bits are always on the menu here.
Your oliveophobia is a new one on me and it makes me giggle. Sorry.
Have fun with the cat.

Katie:
Hee hee.
Didi: What do we do now?
Gogo: Wait.
Didi: Yes, but while we're waiting.
Gogo: What about hanging ourselves?
Didi: Hmm … It'd give us an erection!
Gogo: An erection!
If you're waiting for my Waiting For Godot reivew, it is coming.

Shazza: Have a great weekend, Goddess!

Neetzy: Wow! I am so jealous of you and Shazza. I expect a full review of the Cezanne show.
