So, What Are All You Cool DUers Doing This Weekend?

[Dinger]

It's snowy here is noth central Wisconsin, but I plan to sit tight tonight, watch a little t.v., have a little Irish coffee, with a roaring fire going, watching movies, being on DU : ), and tommorrow Iplan to do some shopping, and Sunday I hope to watch my beloved but struggling Green Bay Packers beat the Vikings in Minnesota. That pretty much covers it. Oh, and I will read Helen Thomas' book "Watchdogs Of Democracy."

1. Taking care of our grandson. Right now, Grandpa is picking him up

and taking him to Chuck-E-Cheese for a brief playtime and dinner. Then, he'll have a Jacuzzi bath here and sleep overnight.

Tomorrow, we're going to a preview of the movie "Happy Feet" -- Everybody Dance Now! With penguins dancing!

Have a great weekend!

In peace,

Radio_Lady and Grandpa

The new dancing and singing movie, PG-rated "Happy Feet" is opening soon. We're taking our six-year-old grandson to see it tomorrow morning.

Then, in the PM, my friend and neighbor is making dinner for us! Yummy!

Have a good weekend!

Radio_Lady in Oregon

PS. Forgive me -- but what is the "Tuvan throat singing concert"?

[tigereye]

45. they are Mongolian singers who have a specific way

of singing from the back of their throats and from the voicebox/diaphragm, and producing two distinct tones, say a low tone and a whistling tone. It sounds really cool.

Borat is not usually my speed of movie, but I really like good satire. So we'll see.

on edit, here's the Tuvan and Genghis Blues CD website Goddess was talking about...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

26. Someone was just telling me tonight of a throat singer...

who was a blind blues singer at the start of his career. There's been a documentary made about this guy. He learned throat singing by listening to a recording, and entered a competition in Mongolia. I'm going to have to find the movie, because it sounds fascinating.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

12. Some babysitting, work, and with any luck,

A sit at a drum set tomorrow.

Must.Behave.Tonight.

[Lyric]

30. Me too! Maybe.

We have good friends who are Saint Bernard breeders and they had an unexpectedly large litter a couple of months ago--twelve puppies in all. They're REALLY picky about who they sell their pups to, so they've only been able to find homes for 7 of them so far. They offered to let us have one for free, so long as we agreed to sign a contract promising to care for it properly (routine vet care, proper grooming, training, no dumping it in the pound, etc.) which is fine with me.

I need to talk to my vet and see if I can arrange to get the routine puppy care on credit and pay him when the student aid checks come in. If he agrees, them we'll have ourselves a new puppy. :)

[otherlander]

32. Cool! We don't know what kind we're getting.

We're just adopting from a shelter, so it'll probably be a mutt.

[Viking12]
