I have some pictures of the recent trip out to Covina & the Charity Bowlathon to share with y'all.




Blu5ers are a group of Roswellians who began vacationing to Roswell related sites 5 years ago. We've been to Roswell,NM,to Covina and this year to the BAT. This year,we began our adventure with a meet-up at Casa Morena (formerly The Crashdown) for dinner and CAKE!



This is our group,plus our friend Noseedough....you can see us all except for the very camera-shy guy who showed us all around and is our resident expert and friend. You can make out the top of his head...and his initials are CG.

Here are some of my pics:

my girls,Pennyblu & Ancient Roswellian


Nick Wechsler & me




Melinda Metz (author of the Roswell High series)


Mark Totty (the villain on CSI:NY last night and a doctor on Fashion House). He's the celebrity I bowled with and he was handsome and fun.


Brendan at the Q&A

Sarah Hagan-Amanda,The Potential Slayer from BTVS


Sprague Grayden (Jerico,Joan of Arcadia,John Doe)



Brendan Fehr

Thanks for inviting us here Ber. Now let's see if I can post a pic..........Sarah with my daughter, but I don't see a browse button to select it from my HD.....hmmm...

When you post...Try clicking on the symbol in the menu above that looks like a tree and is next to the symbol that looks like a letter. I'm not really very competent to know what you need to do. sigh


Our tour at Warner Bros.


They were filming ER that day. Guess who drove up next to us?
(that would be John Stamos)


Herding cats

Tour guide tries to get a performance from two rising stars...."Sounds like the champagne talking!"


Good-bye to Warner Bros. Studio Tour

here's one of that adorable house we saw at the Arboretium.

Cliff walk in Santa Monica


View from the Cliff walk


this was us doing a "salute" to all the MIA blu group. The sign says "Miss You All" .We lined up the soda,dropped a mentos candy in each one and ran like the dickens because I thought it would have a geyser effect. Later I heard you have to shake the soda bottles first but it's the thought that counts,right?

okay wait a minute....you never told me you met BF! oooh and nice pick of NW too

Brendan was fabulous...first off,newly wed and loving it,I surmise. Never seen him in such a great mood. While he bowled he joked with everyone and when I gave him a gift of a black rubber bracelet that said "Strength and Honor" on it and told him that it was something that the West Point swim team made up and wore as a fund-raiser for families of soldiers killed in war and told him my nephew was the Captain of the swim team at West Point last year but was in Iraq now, he seemed really interested and asked me lots of questions about the nephew. I didn't get a picture taken with him but that conversation was probably the highlight of the event for me!

Hey there ! Welcom to MB as for posting pics.... you need photobucket or or another online photo albumn, I can't remember the names right now . Then you just copy the http line with image brackets and volia , the pic should come up

This was just recently than? Like summer ?

Speaking of vetrens though and war.... today is REmemberance ( Can)/Veterens Day ( US) as most of us know right ? Anyways went to a service for it today at the coliseum they played the music prior to the few moments of silence ...okay it's just a few moments ppl...if you don't want to think or reflect on them still keep quiet! Argh I was so upset ... 4 ppl near me were talking through the whole moments of silence! I'm not kidding and they were elders . There were a few students , exchange programs from other countries and they had more respect. Okay sorry about my rant but that really upset me . I almost said something to them after but I held my tongue. These men and women have died and fought for our freedom ,we should respect them especially today of all days right ? Some of my family and my friends family too, ppl I know have fought and those in my family I never met have died , there is a long line of military in my family so I guess I'm very ...I dunno the word for it but anyways I better shush now before I go on and on and on ....

Yes,Jen and Brendan were married this summer. I think I heard July (could be wrong about that). But she has the nicest personality and was so laid back and friendly about all the googly-eyed fans being just thrilled with her hubby.



I totally agree with everything you said about showing respect for the sacrifices that have been and are still being made.

awe such a lovely picture.


You should of heard me today telling someone *shakes head* anyways. I still can't ge over that ... I don't care what you think about just shush for it .


Anyways how was your day ?

Not so great. I lost my driver's license. Not cause I did anything...I just can't find it. And I certainly don't have the nerve to drive without it...so,big inconvenience. I'll have to get right on getting a replacement.




Oh,and btw Jen told my husband that she and her husband like to golf.

Funny,I just never pictured Brendan as a golfer.

ick, yeah I don' t drive really without one either. Hope you find it soon.


awe,hehe. so cute.

So....went to get a new license today. They were closed for Veteran's Day. grrrrr


I still got mail and trash collection....so hard to tell what's open or not on holidays. Well,better luck tomorrow.

Yay! Success. After an hour and 15 minute wait,I did get a replacement license. Good news...I like the photo on this one better.

Right on ! That is good news

David Boreanaz will be the guest on the Megan Mullally Show tomorrow

http://www.meganshow.tv/guestlist.php

Ah,sad news. I heard today that another James Marsters board will be closing on Jan.1. Goodby to JMF and thanks for the memories.

Do they know about this one? If yes, probably a few will come to visit here from time to time

yes they're more than welcome

They first came together over Roswell...so it seems like they've found a home away from home over at the OTO thread. Just glad to see that they've managed to come together again. I can't believe there was no warning at all if the shutdown was a deliberate decision of the site owner.Still and all,no one really has any clue what happened.

Well,this isn't exactly Spike/James news. But I'm sure he would be pleased and would want us all to congratulate Julie Benz on winning a Satellite Award in the category of Best Supporting Actress for her work on "Dexter" .

Happy Holidays to JM fans everywhere. In all your travels,I wish you safety,peace and joy. I'm getting "on the tar" my own self today. Be off-line a-while...but I'll see you all next year!




(not to worry about being left to your own devices though. Canadarox and the lovely Ms.Lori are around and will keep the fires burning. Be good to them. No shipper wars in my absence,please. )

Shipper Wars? Us..... *innocent face*

Happy Holidays !

You'd be surprized. I like who I like...but it doesn't bother me if your favorite is an entirely different pair. But some people....sheesh!

I think it would be a dull old world if we all thought the same.


btw this is coming to you from my hotel in New Jersey. It's 50 degrees but no snow and not as bad as I thought it might be. Sigh of relief here.

well that's a good thing about the weather not being as bad as you thought

Yeah I know what you mean, I think it be pretty dull too if everyone thought the same

Anybody got any holiday pics to share?
This is me clutching the bottle of cherry wine I was given. I'm enjoying spending the holidays with my mother and sister in New Jersey.

I just got the best New Year's Eve present EVAH. My nephew called from Dallas to announce his engagement. He is the first of the younger generation in my family to take this big step and we are all so happy to hear the excitement in his voice as he tells us about it.

I had a nice,quiet evening at home. Linguine and Meatballs for dinner,cherry wine and white chocolate cheesecake for dessert. Watched old episodes of the Twilight Zone and Absolutely Fabulous and then the Dick Clark Countdown to New Years show...Meat Loaf,Christine Aguilera...lots of entertainment from Times Square (I have to do that someday)...the only thing was that I had to let my 19 year old son and his friends go to the city to watch fireworks. Being an over-protective Mom,I worried about
a)them finding parking
b)getting in a car accident with a drunk driver
3)big thunderstorm predicted to be coming our way.


None of those things were a problem and they had a great time.

As my son said "Silly Mommy".

oh nice pic! I'll have to load some on to the 'puter *hehe* glad you had a great time spending the holidays with your mom in NJ.

yeah my new years was quiet too

Nick Wechsler,me,and my bowling team,with Zeke Lerner(the boy the Charity Bowlathon was inspired by) and Brendan Fehr

Remember Tom Lenk who played "Andrew" on BTVS/Angel? He is now making a movie with Jim Carrey. It's a thriller called Number23 and Tom plays a store clerk.



I always liked him the best of the 3 Nerds.

btw the handsome devil in the orange baseball cap and the distinguished slightlygraying beard (ha!) is my handsome hubby. It's his birthday today,so I may not be around too much. Want to take him out and see that he has fun. Unfortunately....bowling IS his idea of fun.

Ha! For his birthday he got Opera tickets...now,believe it or not he likes opera more than I do. I like the dressing up fancy and the theatrics of it. He cries (if its good). Anyway,that's why I'm not around much today. Getting the hair done,the outfit ready etc. It's called Turandot and is actually one I've never seen before. Hope its good.

oooh sounds fun! How was it ?

It was good. There was only one great voice...so no crying on the hubby's part, but the set design was really nice...very Asian feel. It was about a princess who put the men to a test and if they failed they died,if they didn't they could marry her. It was very like a fairy tale.

A cautionary Tale:

Mr.Berry called me over to see what was on his laptop (a bottle of wine he wanted and had not been able to find locally), the room was dimly lit,and I was negotiating not tripping on all the wires leading up to his laptop. I sat down and he glared daggers at me..."you've sat on my glasses!!!" he exclaimed.
I said "I'm sorry I sat on your glasses but you shouldn't have put them there."
He said"YOU sat on MY glasses and you're blaming ME??



Well....................yeah.

Here's a "What are they doing now?" piece of trivia:

Emma Caulfield is starring in the upcoming Lifetime movie, A Valentine Carol, to air on February 11 at 9pm.

coolie and that was a funny tale ! thanks for sharing .

Anytime,Roxy.

I've been invited to a "Murder Mystery Dinner" at a friends house. I think its a role-playing game where we have parts and try to solve the crime by talking to each other. My husband is d-r-e-a-d-i-n-g this...I'm just disappointed I haven't been asked to wear a costume!

Happy Groundhog Day!

Punxsutawney Phil predicts early spring

2 hours, 11 minutes ago

PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. - A new pair of hands pulled Punxsutawney Phil from his stump this year, so it was only fitting that the groundhog offered a new prediction.

Phil did not see his shadow on Friday, which, according to German folklore, means folks can expect an early spring instead of six more weeks of winter.

Since 1886, Phil has seen his shadow 96 times, hasn't seen it 15 times and there are no records for nine years, according to the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club. The last time Phil failed to see his shadow was in 1999.

More than 15,000 revelers milled about in a misty snow waiting for the prediction, as fireworks exploded overhead and the "Pennsylvania Polka" and other music blared in the background.

Sammi Gainor, 17, said she and her father first attended the ceremony about four years ago. "Since then it's really been just good memories of things I do together with my dad," she said.

"It's just kind of fun seeing people go so crazy about a groundhog," Richard Gainor said.

Longtime handler Bill Deeley retired and was replaced Friday by Punxsutawney Groundhog Club Inner Circle members John Griffiths and Ben Hughes.

"It's a lot of work, but it's exciting to know you're a part of one of the most phenomenal parts of American folklore," Hughes said.

Each Feb. 2, thousands of people descend on Punxsutawney, a town of 6,100 people about 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, to celebrate what had essentially been a German superstition.

The Germans believed that if a hibernating animal cast a shadow Feb. 2 — the Christian holiday of Candlemas — winter would last another six weeks. If no shadow was seen, legend said spring would come early.

Rick McFerron, an administrator at Indiana University of Pennsylvania some 30 miles away, walked the whole way to the ceremony to celebrate his 60th birthday and to raise money for breast cancer research.

He said he was skeptical of the groundhog's prediction.

"It's supposed to get bitter cold this weekend," McFerron said.

Bit out of my price range...but here's a very pretty Spike:

Superbowl Sunday.....Go Bears!

Here's a new statue of Spike...and it lights up!

This is one of the funniest video's I've ever seen. spike singing to angel "If you were gay". Video by Mr.Druki


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Erq31cuX_SY&eurl=

oooh I'll have to check that out XD Though it will take so slow since I"m dial up *L* but I will Ick it's so busy at work right now and the manager 's on vacay so I got one day off. ONly. Thought I'd stop in to say hi though Hope all is well with you all!

Oh,I think the video is worth it...but at least try to listen to the cast album of Avenue Q sometime. It is a hilarious version of "Muppet songs for Adults".

(and that's the song and voices that are used in the funny Spike/Angel vid. )



And btw Happy Valentine's Day to one and all!

Did you all have a nice Valentine's Day? Well,whether you have a "special sweetie" at the moment or not, you got a message and some good advice from James on the day:

from JM's Official site:

Valentine Greetings

2-14-07 - Happy Valentines Day to all you lovers and loveless - give yourself love; that's always the best.

James

If anyone gets the Scifi Channel...tonight is the night that Nick Brendon has a movie called "Fire Serpent". It has been so long since I've seen him in anything that I'm really looking forward to this.
