TEA TIME (4-5PM PST / 00:00 GMT)
.... the half-a** Saturday
edition

TODAY'S SING-ALONG LINK: Nude
-Platoon Drill Sargeant's Review of Season 6
[PG-13]
http://www.buffy.com/bronze_posts.jsp?tid=48604
It's
tea time in Santa
Monica,
and, "bloody
hell," it's Saturday, so no serious conversation
alllowed! <smile>
TODAY'S
TOPIC: After you sing the above post out loud
and embarrass yourself,
we must decide what to
do about the Daylight Savings Time
change.
Gile's clock jumps back an
hour a week from now
... but California's jumps
back the week after that ... and this is
just
so terribly confusing.
<smile>
Normally when we have Tea
Time here in L.A., it is Midnight in
London,
(00:00 GMT) ... "Good Lord!" my
head is starting to hurt.
In any case, this
is Saturday and I'm not paying much attention
to
anything, but anyway I'll be hanging
loosely around here until 5:00
PST/01:00GMT)

NOTE: NO BLOODY SONNET LINKS WILL BE
LISTED ON BLOODY SATURDAY.

Whatever spell has
brought me to this insanity of daily Tea Time
...
... it is apparently still in
effect.
For the moment, it apparently will
continue. Same time. Same
channel.
POOF

I'm not very
knowledgeable about computers...
Well, my friend,
our hour is up (glances about mournfully.)
(cyberhug)
Until next time..."'tis twenty year
'til then..."

perfumed purple sails are released, filling the air with
jasmine. I wave good-bye from the prow.)

Many thanks for
lifting my poetic knowledge (poets you
mentioned).
The poetry/rhetoric discussion ....
ah, many words to say there
and a topic to which I/we
shall return, I'm sure.
Very
glad you brought that up to.
As always, bless
your heart for painting the scene. I truly am delighted
when you arrive.

"I seem to have loved
you in life after life, in age after age, for
ever..."
I love the Eastern concept of life being
a circle, unending instead of point A to point B...Dear,
dear, it's nearly time to go isn't it?
(clap
hands for servants to begin collecting remnants of
tea.)

although I greatly care to know if you are black or

My goodness ... I've
been reading Tagore for, how long now ...
... two
minutes. <grin>
My poetic scholarship
is very slim .. being a rhetorician after all.
<smile>
Only a few fragments of actual
"serious" verse hang in my brain.
WILLIAM BLACK:
"Both
read the Bible day and
night,
but
you read black, where I read white."
Something
like that. <smile>

They really are no
good once they've cooled (scones) I don't know how
coffee shops are able to sell them.
I do still
have some moldering pieces in my lower file cabinet,
they're pretty old (high-school efforts.)
I doubt
they'd appeal here. But I read a great deal. I love
Keats, Rossetti, and I'm awfully fond of Rabindranath
Tagore, the Bengali poet from the turn of the last
century. Do you know him?

And after that ... we're going to have
Pleasant_Guest read some of her poetry

I'm sure that
somewhere she has a masterpiece stashed away

Lays out a pound box
of Godiva truffles (half vanilla in dark chocolate, the
other classic milk chocolate)
Personally I think
the true chocolate aficionado loves darkest best,
but...what do I know?
I'm afraid I'm little
better than a sensualist storyteller, not a poet (though
I used to try.)

I'm afraid I'm the
worst possible person to discuss that with, I pay very
little attention to time in general and math is not my
strong suit...
I'm late to work regularly and
when my Boss scolds me, I smile and remind him that it
really IS 7:30 AM "somewhere in the world, so how can I
really be late?"

sparkling water.)

Unless I have
miscalculated ...
... Tea Time in L.A. (Pacific
Standard Time) is currently
8 hours earlier than
London time (Greenwich Mean Time).
Which means it
has just turned Midnight where Giles' is.
00:00
GMT
I think. <smile>
But that's
about to change.

to be a good hostess
and an excellent guest.
Do you like creole
mustard with your chicken?

and fresh flowers.)

salad, scones with homemade blackberry jam, and

Looks pretty huh?
