A happy "hot and humid" Monday to you! I'm musing to you from inside a lovely air-conditioned house! A new week filled with new adventures, no doubt. Well, only indoor adventures until the weather cools down a bit. We moved Bonny and Clyde inside until then. Poor buns...it was just too hot for them. Though they protested to being inside by "back-filling" their food and water bowls this morning.
New Jude Cole video on the sidebar. Can't wait until this guy releases a new album...or goes on tour again. Speaking of tours...we received our tickets for the next Rocco concert in Philadelphia on August 1st. Yay!
Stuart is in Brasil this week and next. It's Winter there. He flew over the Amazon Rain Forest but didn't see anything...it was nighttime. Still, he did fly over it. We're on a countdown until he returns. 12 days to go! Whoo-hoo!
We were IMing with him this morning. As I watched the kids hunt-and-pecking messages to him, I reflected on what a technologically-marvelous time we live in. That the kids can sit in our dining room and type on our computer to their daddy in an airport in Brasil. Tres cool!
No new 24 tonight, of course -- 6 months to go!! -- but I've been working my way through Seasons 4, 5, and 6. There's a story thread that works through these three seasons especially. Maybe I'll start over completely once I've finished. I borrowed another new series from the library on Friday: Prison Break. It's very intriguing...and quite good. Season 2 isn't out on video yet... I'm thinking of watching Lost when I finish this one.
I found a little, desktop widget for my computer: a 24 clock that does the show's famous "beep-beep" as it counts the last 4 or 5 seconds before each hour. I love it! It's available on Yahoo! Widgets, if you're interested. As are bunches of other fun computer "gadgets."
Speaking of my favorite-most show, the star is in Brasil at the moment, too. (Stuart said he'd try to pencil seeing Kiefer into his busy schedule...) Actually, it's rather funny to see the translations of the articles coming out of Rio. He's there doing a commercial for Citroen. Granted, I don't speak Portuguese so my translations the other direction would be equally silly, but we were left wondering if they merely put this article through AltaVista's Babel Fish. What do you think?
Jack Bauer, of the series “24 hours”, is in Brazil. The security of the Pan is guaranteed. The actor Kiefer Sutherland arrived yesterday at the River and this was the first meal of the actor, in the Copacabana Palace, where it is housed. It devorou one sanduba. Kiefer is in the River for the party of the Citroen, today to the night, in the Alive River It still records an advertising for the assembly plant of automobiles.
In the door of the hotel, a series of fans waited for the actor. Kiefer must pass some days of vacation in Christmas, Great River of the North.
Kiefer will be filming the commercials with Araceli González - The bold escape of Araceli and Kiefer Sutherland Buenos Aires. - Everything is ready. The pair of the publicity of a famous mark of cars will meet in Brazil for the shooting of the guideline. Araceli González already gave yes and Kiefer Sutherland does not see the hour to know it. Rio de Janeiro and San Pablo will be the scenes of this international bet that makes the mark of Citroën cars, for their C4 model. Next Wednesday dupla will be the encounter of this so popular. Close friends to the protagonist of 24 recognized that the actor is anxious to know his fellow worker. They said to him that one is “one of the women more sexies of Argentina”. He already wants to verify it by itself. On the other hand, Araceli also is happy for being chosen for this advertising campaign. He will travel accompanied by his maquilladora, Mabby Autino, his peluquero, Alvaro Rivas, his vestuarista, Teresa of the Valley, and his representative Alexander Farell, informed the newspaper the Callle. Rumors assure that the one that is not very in agreement with the proposal would be Adrián Suar. The jealousy would have attacked it and would be arranged to travel to Brazil to control the North American. The excuse: the possibility of a new business.
Araceli González (born June 19, 1967 in Buenos Aires, as Araceli Edith González) is an Argentinian fashion model, actress and TV host. After marrying at a young age, she was married for a very long time, having her first child, a daughter, in 1988. She also has a son. Gonzalez was linked romantically to Chayanne when the duo starred in a telenovela. This caused her marriage trouble, and, eventually, she separated from her husband (Adrián Suar) and found work as an actress in Europe. Later on, she returned to Argentina. She now plays Gabriela Solís in Amas de Casa Desesperadas.
Gmorning Carsale - the Citroën of Brazil chose nothing more nothing less than the English actor Kiefer Sutherland, the Jack Bauer of the series 24 Hours, to be the boy-propaganda of the most important launching of the French mark in this year, the C4 Pallas. Actor will participate of writings of advertising campaign of sedã, that he happens in this thursday (5), in Rio De Janeiro, and between days 6 and 10 records the commercial film of the Pallas, that will be propagated in national net, from September. The appositive Citroën in the success of the Pallas and, for this, initiated a program of daily pay-launching of the called model “Box of Sensations”, that already it commercialized about 100 units of the model. The goal of the assembly plant is of vender, on average, two a thousand units for month, totalizing 25 a thousand cars per year.
This photo made me actually feel quite sorry for Kiefer. He looks so lost and tired, doesn't he? I know it's "his job," and he's getting paid the big bucks to be there, but it has to get wearying. I mean, he was filming for the last month or so in Romania then in England for a few days and now in Brasil. I'm guessing he'll be giving each of the 24 staff members a big ol' smooch when he gets back to L.A....just for speaking English.

When I was about 15 or 16, I worked at a farmer's market on Saturday mornings. I was in charge of opening an antique/furniture stand. It was really fun for awhile because the atmosphere was varied, filled with a mixture of flea markets and fruit/veg/candy stands.
There was a smell when you entered -- maybe a mixture of the produce, breakfast stands, dust, and old treasures?
I usually spent my entire paycheck on old World War II books at a book stand up at the other end of the market.
The market has changed completely -- though the book stand became an actual store -- so I can't take my kids through it to show them where Mommy once worked.
But we still love going to other farmer's markets to buy produce, baked goods, and candy. Our area is blessed by an abundance of such places.
Summer is a great time to buy and eat fresh!
