:hug:

[Heidi]

4. Yep, you're home.

Yes, coffee! Sugar? :*

[Inchworm]

14. hold one..

I've been sipping my last beer like it was nutrients. It is going down!

:D

[Inchworm]

25. you came up in a conversation the other day

evidently I have an artist mind. I tried to mention assemblege and instead collage came out...

was a good day either way.. some silly person that loves me (why?) said "you have an artist's brain... and the heart of a poet."

I'm still putting it all in cups.. so I can make cookies.

:woohoo:

[Heidi]

30. I agree with your friend.

And you're a darling. :hug: :*

[Inchworm]

36. She was just prolly saying nice tings

I guess it is nice to hear. Prolly why I even said it.

omg.. I'm an attention digger!!!!

:*

[Lucian]

2. Good evening!

:hi:

It's always nice to see a "Nighthawks" thread. We don't get to see them around much anymore. :(

[Heidi]

7. This one's for you, Lucian!

I promised it a while back and then got too busy until this morning. Glad you're here. :hug:

:*

[Lucian]

11. Thanks Heidi.

:) :hug:

[mvd]

3. Just stopping by to say hi!

I'm a night person, but my bedtime is fast approaching. :hug:

[Heidi]

8. Hi, friend!

I wish you sweet dreams. :hug:

:*

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. My dear Heidi!

Oh, goody!

How lovely to see you today, sweetie...

How's your morning going?

I was recently remembering these wonderful threads...

You must have heard me!

You've been doing these for almost four years now...

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[Heidi]

10. Hi, Peggy!

Actually, Lucian mentioned Nighthawks a couple of weeks ago and I promised I'd start a Nighthawks thread. This one's for Lucian. :)

Happy Tuesday, sweets! :hug: :hug:

[Rhythm]

6. Hey, y'all...

:hi:

I don't think i'm up for too much longer, but i'll be poking around until 3ish, anyway.

[Heidi]

12. Hi, Poetry Goddess!

Congrats on your recent award, gf! :yourock:

:hug: :hug:

[Rhythm]

16. Lyric is the goddess of the language... i just beat on the table for percussion.

:hi:

[Heidi]

19. Oops!

Well, you tell her that I think she's a Poetry Goddess and you're a Percussion Goddess! :hug:

:hug:

[Rhythm]

23. I shall certainly pass along your compliments, my dear...

Thank you, on her behalf...

[Heidi]

24. Thank you for being so gracious!

I haven't kept close track of the name changes, I'm ashamed to say. :(

G'night, sweets! :hug:

[Rhythm]

39. Goodnight, my dear

:tips hat: :hug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

9. Yay!

:bounce:

[Heidi]

15. Hrumph.

Where's my kiss? :*

:hug:

:loveya:

[Oeditpus Rex]

29. Oops

My lips were busy sayin' "Yay!"



:*

:loveya:

[Heidi]

33. You were typing with your lips?

Again? :rofl:

:*

[Oeditpus Rex]

41. What, don't you ever say what you're typin'?

Don't you? :shrug:









No, really — don't you?



Please?



:blush:

[Heidi]

42. Well, let's put it this way:

I most often verbalize the things I ought _not_ to type. Once I hear myself say it, I know it'll probably be alerted if I actually post it. :rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

45. Well, you'd know that better'n me

Having escaped from DU's Dark Side... :scared:

[Heidi]

46. Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

:hug:

:loveya:

:*

[Suich]

13. Hey, cool!

I usually don't see these threads until the morning!

How are you doing, Heidi? Lovely day in Seattle today, for a change, and am headed off to bed because I did yard work all day and I'm pooped!

:hi:

[Heidi]

18. SUICH!!!

Beautiful morning here in Ticino. It'll be about 75° this afternoon, and my 15-year-old goddaughter has Easter holidays from school this week, so it may be a "girls' day out" this afternoon. :)

Happy Tuesday, friend! :hug:

:*

[sakabatou]

17. Konban wa

[Heidi]

21. Bebop!!!!

:hug:

How've you been, young man? And how's your sweet, artistic SO? :hug: :hug:

[sakabatou]

27. She's back in CT until Thursday

But for now you can see her latest work, colored by me:

[Heidi]

28. So cool!

CMW and I should do an art collaboration, but I don't think The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger is willing to listen to us argue about technique, media and subject. :rofl:

:hug:

[sakabatou]

34. I'm not following

O.o??

[Heidi]

37. Our cat would not approve of CMW and me working together on a piece of art.

It would divert attention from his kitty needs. :rofl:

[sakabatou]

54. Our cats are attention whores

[texanwitch]

20. Howdy Heidi

Almost went to bed.

I would have missed this thread.

We are leaving in the morning to look at wild flowers.

[Heidi]

22. I'm so glad you're still awake!!!!

I wish you a beautiful Tuesday -- and take some photos of the wildflowers, okay? :hug: :loveya:

:* <-- P.S.

[texanwitch]

26. The flowers should look better now with all the rain.

I have a new cat, a male half grown kitten named Hurricane Ike.

He was a feral kitten but now he is a lap cat.

Smart cat.

How is Ginger doing.

[Heidi]

31. Ginger sends you head butts, leg rubs

and kisses! Thank you for giving Ike a home! :yourock:

:loveya:

[texanwitch]

43. Ike just moved in the night of the hurricane last year.

He stayed and he is a sweet little cat.

[Heidi]

44. What does he look like?

Is he as cute as your other kitties? (Yeah, I know and agree: they're _all_ cute! :) )

[texanwitch]

52. He is a orange tabby with a little white t-shirt on his neck.

He is talks a lot.

[Heidi]

55. Oooooooooo, a redhead! Check this out!

We've got a big, prowling, bright-orange male cat in our neighborhood with the most unusual marbling in his coat. It's kinda like this:

[MissHoneychurch]

32. About time

the bar is open again :D

:hi: :loveya:

[Heidi]

35. Ha!

It's a coffee bar on our side of the ocean, but I offer a wide selection of "spirits" for our friends in the US. :rofl:

Mornin', sunshine! :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

38. Do you serve tea too?

not so much into coffee. Unless it is a cappuccino. I drink that :D

Morning Heidi :hug:

[Heidi]

40. Oh, good Lord, yes, we have TONS of tea.

CMW is an all-day tea drinker: White tea, green tea, Lady Grey, Chamomille, Lotus, Mint, and regular black tea. Take your pick! :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

48. Oh goodie

:D

I think I try Lotus. Thank you very much.

My all time favorite tea is Jasmine Tea.

[enigmatic]

47. Good Morning Heidi!

:hug: I hope you and CMW are well; I had a good birthday weekend and got alot of music and station recording done w/ my sexy new mics and soundcards!:D

[Heidi]

49. I didn't know it was your birthday last weekend!!!!!!!!

You're probably close to as young as me now! :rofl:

Happy belated birthday and much love from all three of us, my friend! :hug: :loveya:

[u4ic]

53. Happy 29th enigmatic!

:bounce: :toast: :party: Hope the white stuff wasn't falling then... :hug:

(the NAME of the white stuff is now in my curse word book - that, minus thirty and December...January...February...March...x(

Today felt like spring! :woohoo:

[enigmatic]

56. Hi u4ic!!

:hug: Oh man, I loved today; I opened all the windows in the apartment and let the fresh air get in. It's been a weird winter but I really hope we've seen the last, knock on my woodedn head:D

[u4ic]

50. Just passin' through...

Hi Heidi! :hug: :hi:

[Heidi]

51. Hi, gf!!!!!!!! I've missed you!!!!

:hug: :loveya:

You should pass through more often, m'dear! :hug:

:*

[Jamastiene]

57. Here I am.

So glad to have found the DU Nighthawks thread again. :)

[Heidi]

59. Jama, Jama, Jama!!!!

How _are_ you, my sweet? How's the insomnia? :hug:

:*

:loveya:

[Jamastiene]

60. Oddly enough, I've been sleeping, but sleeping odd hours lately.

They are odd hours for me, anyhow. I went to bed at 6:00 last night and woke up at 1:00 this morning.
:hug:

:*

:loveya:

[Heidi]

61. As long as you feel you're getting enough rest...

is seven hours enough, young lady? :hug:

:loveya:

[Jamastiene]

63. Tehehe,

I prefer 9 hours as ideal, to be honest.

When my aunt goes to bed, I may slip a "siesta" into this morning's planned activities. After all, I'd hate to drive without enough sleep later on when I go do my errands. I figure an extra little nap won't hurt too bad. :evilgrin:

:hug:

:loveya:

[PaddyBlueEyes]

58. working....

always working.....rofl :hi:

[Heidi]

62. Hi, Paddy!

Happy Tuesday! :hug:

[VenusRising]

64. Hey, gf!

:hi:

Hope everything is good on your side of the world.

:hug::loveya:

[Heidi]

65. DAH-LINK!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was just going to my dark place and then you showed up! Everything's bettah now. :rofl:

:hug:

:loveya:

:yourock:

[VenusRising]

66. The Dark Place is scary.

The Lounge is scary, but at least it's well lit. ;)

I could always come and kidnap you, but I think the Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat named Ginger might hunt me down and kill me for taking his food dispenser away.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3823036836644598472

Every one loves kettle cooked bbq chips! :rofl:

[Heidi]

68. "Chickens fascinate me!"

:rofl:

:spray:

[VenusRising]

70. Never a dull moment with our little Stuart.

:rofl:

[Heidi]

71. Stuart always reminds me of The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger's

brother, Barley.

[VenusRising]

72. It's the wide-eyed look of trouble.

Nooooooooo!!! Let me do it! :rofl::rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

67. Heidi, darlink!!!

I was just getting ready to head to bed, but saw your Nighthawks thread,and just had to stop by and say hello!!

Hope all is well you you, gf!

All is fine with me, though I'm very busy at work. However, I guess that's a good thing, eh?

[Heidi]

69. Good morning/evenin', warrior woman!

:hug: :loveya:

And Happy Tuesday, my sweet! :*

[Heidi]

73. Kick for my day-crew dah-lings.

matcom, if you're out there, I'm sending you a lemoncino-flavored :*

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

:loveya:

How are you mamicita?

[Heidi]

75. My darling,

I am indescribably better, now that you're here. :hug:

And where's my kiss, handsome? :*

Am retiring now to enjoy an art book I received in this morning's post. Barron Storey's art journal, "Life After Black." :swoon:

http://www.graphicnovelart.com/Page.asp?DocID=19251&langue=FR

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

76. That book looks amazing!

What a lovely book to curl up with and check out.

and here are many many many kisses for you :*:*:*:*:*:* :hug:

[Heidi]

77. Thanks, my sweet.

Barron Storey is an incredible artist. I'm so fortunate to have found this first edition published in Belgium, avoiding shipping from the US. :rofl:

Happy Tuesday, my friend! :hug: :hug:

:loveya:

[ghostsofgiants]

78. I'm a little late to the game, but hi!

[Heidi]

80. YOU, young man,

are NEVER too late! :hug:

Google "Barron Storey" -- I think you'll be intrigued. :*

[ghostsofgiants]

81. Oooh, intrigued indeed!

:D

David Choe's quote about him is great:
"Nobody draws better than Barron. Not you, not your little sister, your architect dad, not your rebellious ex-boyfriend who draws with his own blood, not the most talented kid at your art school. Not your favorite artist in the whole world; I've seen the work with my own eyes. Nobody draws better than The Barron."

[Heidi]

82. Do you know Davide Choe's work? I'm captivated by it.

Oh, and there's a Vancouver artist whose work you might know! He goes by "the dark," but his real name is Devitt Brown. He started out as a street artist doing his own stencilled work, but his work is changing (and in my opinion getting even better).

Exhibit: http://www.elliottlouis.com/artists/the_dark.asp

[ghostsofgiants]

95. Yeah, I am a big Choe fan.

I really want to see the documentary about him, Dirty Hands.

This The Dark guy's work is great too!

[KamaAina]

79. Oh, so that's where they went!

I always thought the New Haven Nighthawks (AHL) changed their name to the "Senators" at the insistence of the new parent club, which proceeded to double the ticket prices and basically kill local interest in the team. Bridgeport, 18 miles down the road, now has a brand new Islanders affiliate; meanwhile, the New Haven Coliseum, where I first saw the Dead in '83, has been torn down. :(

Now I find out the 'Hawks moved to DU! Did we build them a new arena will all that Valentine heart money?



And who's this #74? I'd guess he's a Russian or Czech player; they're usually the ones who wear the higher numbers. :-)

[Heidi]

84. Nah, I came up with DU Nighthawks after an Edward Hopper painting,

"Nighthawks," cuz that's what these threads are like: an old-time diner. :hi:

Here's Hopper's 1942 painting, Nighthawks:

[KitchenWitch]

83. What a fantastic birthday gift!

Hi, darling Heidi!

:loveya:

[Heidi]

85. Happy birthday, sweets!

And here's The DU Sychronized WooHoo Olympic Team celebrating your birth! :hug: :*

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[bluesbassman]

86. Hey Heidi! Just stopping by for a cup 'o joe.

Love Barley in the corner. Purrfect placement. I've got to make a copy of that pic and pull it out whenever I'm down. He always makes me smile.:)

Just like you.:hug:

[Heidi]

87. :smooch:

Wonderful to see you, my friend. How's the job search going? I've been thinkin' of you. :hug:

:*

[bluesbassman]

88. *blush*

Thanks. Things are pretty lean around here. California jobless rate is almost 11% now. Something will turn up though.

BTW, did you ever get those cool glasses?

[Heidi]

89. You have a great attitude,

and that goes a long way.

I'm still undecided about the glasses. I'll probably go with something a little more serious and a lot less goofy. :rofl:

[bluesbassman]

90. The world needs more goofy,

and less serious. You'll look fabulous no matter what you choose.:loveya:

[Skittles]

91. checking in!

[Heidi]

92. WHAT???

No ASS KICKIN'? I feel snubbed. :rofl:

Hi, Skittles! :hug:

:*

[Dr Fate]

93. Helooo..n/t

n/t

[Heidi]

94. Hiya!

You caught me only minutes before I leave for my weekly three hours in hell (aka, grocery shopping and errands). :rofl:

Here's your Wednesday kiss! :*

:hug:
