| A walk a day keeps the doctor away... |
Random Rose.
1. SO MUCH CHATTER about Rob and the Jeff Buckley movie.
Really?
Why is this such a big deal again?
I don't get it.
For one thing...
IT HASN'T BEEN CONFIRMED.
So why bother getting all frenzied and foaming
until we know what is going on.
And even if he does take the role...
Um... HELLO?
He IS an actor after all.
Right away I get a zillion DMs and emails
wondering how in the world can
Rob and Kristen
make it work if he's not in London with her
while she films SWATH.
Good Fucking Grief.
Whatever happens...
It will work out the way
Rob and Kristen want it to.
You know?
Cuz it's their life.
Their relationship.
I have a friend...
who is in a similar situation.
I asked him his opinion about this
and this is what he had to say...
I kinda think it is perfection.
"Its a bitch, clearly things would be easier
if I was a plumber and she was a waitress.
But she would be miserable and I've never cared much for toilets.
I'm not so worried about being separated anymore.
We know this is right.
We know this is who we are and how we want to live our lives.
Its more of just a nuisance but its also part of our jobs,
and part of who we are.
The comings and goings are not what matters.
All that matters is that we stay close
and being in the same place doesn't guarantee that.
God, I know plenty of people that are together constantly
and still fall apart.
Nor does the distance make it impossible.
Its more about us and less about location.
She could live on a block of ice at the South Pole
and I would still feel her close to me.
I'm not worried."
Oh Yeah I'll Tell You Something..
I Think You'll Understand
When I Say That Something
I Wanna Hold Your Hand!
2. Poor Bear.
That poor puppy.
OK... he's not a poor puppy...
He's probably one of the luckiest dogs alive
But MY GOD people.
"It's not Kristen's dog, it's ROB'S dog!"
What
The
Fuck
Fuck
Ever.
If you truly believe that Kristen was just
some glorified dog-sitter...
You are even more desperate than I thought.
"I bet she just dropped off the dog and left
and didn't even stay in Toronto"
Yeah.
OK.
Keep chanting she wasn't in Toronto...
People are always screaming PR!
Yet always getting so angry and upset
every time there is any sighting of Rob and Kristen together.
Racing to 'debunk' it
(BTW? coming up with shit excuses doesn't debunk anything)
calling it bullshit
lies
and
hating on anyone who has the audacity to
say that Rob and Kristen are together.
If you believe its PR... why do you fight it so hard??
How does that make sense?
Don't answer.
It's a rhetorical question.
 |
| Of course we share clothes... we share everything! |
3. Am I the only one who finds the whole
Rob is cheating
Kristen is cheating
bullshit so so so SO tedious?
People make up 'sightings'
put them on the AT boards/Twitter
and then the same people who make up the shit
respond to it trying to make people believe it.
Kinda sad... don't ya think?
Hey.
If there ever comes a day when I think
Rob and Kristen aren't together...
I will accept it.
Because I don't 'ship' anyone.
I believe.
And when Rob starts hanging out with some other girl
Vacations with her
(and kisses her)
Spends time with her family and his on holidays.
Travels to where she works to hang out with her
(and nuzzles and kisses her)
Invites her to his movie premieres
(and holds her hand and kisses her)
Shows up at private weddings
(and gently caresses her face)
and restaurants
and concerts
(oh the endless cuddling and kissing)
and adopt a puppy with her?
Then I will believe he is with someone else.
You know?
Until then...
We all know exactly who he is with.
Who he wants to be with.
Who he is always with.
That would be Kristen.

With the flowers and ducks.
But then I see that hat.
That damn hat.
God... he must love that hat.

Your friend has very wise words!
Great post, love the pictures as always and regardless of Rob & Kristen's working schedules, of course they will make it work. Do people think they don't communicate and plan things together?
Anyhow, happy hump day everyone! Have a good one! I'm off to more meetings..
Aww Rose, love what your friend said. Makes perfect sense. i guess some people have never experienced true love, kinda sad. Thanks for the post and lovely pictures!
Hi Rose,
Sweet post, your friend is very wise indeed. Rob and Kristen have been making it work for a long time now..no doubts they will continue to do so :)
Hi everyone- I hope it's been great <3
Rose, your friend is very wise and could have been describing my life. I think we've been together for 6 days in as many weeks,that's been our life for about 17 years. When it's right,it's right, it doesn't matter if you're geographically separated, you make it work. As I said to Miss Smitty a while ago,one of the positives is that we tend to let go of stupid arguments since we hate the idea of being at loggerheads when one of us has to leave, you tend to be kinder to each other when you know you're going to be apart so distance can be a good thing :)
Rose you and your friend are funny :D
and I've never cared much for toilets
hahahaha
All of the made up tweets, sightings and bullshit is just so predictable and tiresome....seriously, what is the point in doing that? No matter where they are or what they are doing in their lives and careers, Rob and Kristen seem to have things figured out in their relationship...under their terms. Jeez, people need to relax a bit and stop putting their own relationship expectations on them....they are happy, together.
Thanks for the post, Rose and for sharing your friends wise words.
Hi everyone and happy hump day, Roseland! :)
i believe it's kids, like 17, go down, who are on their phones and comp, tweets all these nonsense, of course they have no idea of true love, they are young and insecure! they believe a couple must, eat sleep and s---, together! they only spread the rumors, now i'll be honest, i was angry, and said to myself, kristen know there will be talk, yet she went out with friends and garret, yes i was pissed, but who care what i thought? i'm weak that way, when it comes to rob, saw garret, in hawaii, his hair to me looks very famalar!
Wonderful post Rose, and you do have a very funny friend. I can say from my own personal experience long-distance relationships DO work. Hubby and I dated 6.5 years before getting married, never living in the same city the entire time. We both had jobs and grad school to get through ~ we saw each other most weekends, but not every single one. We had our own lives and more to share because of our varied experiences! We have been together 25 years now, so I think it worked out ok for us!
Best to all my buddies here ~ HI Rhonda!
ROSE...Love the post today..."The boy and the dog AND the girl who came to stay"...AND your "friend"...lol..HE IS SOOO SMART! Good for him! Hi Everybody...
HI Kay! I hadn't seen you here....
Hi, Rose!! Sweet post
I love what your friend said, very wise!
If Rob gets the Jeff Buckley Role, and they have to be in different areas of the world due to their jobs...they will work something out they always have. If they are happy, then I am happy for them.
Hope everyone is having a fabulous day.
Take care and be happy
ROSE your friend's sweet words reminded me of when my hubs & I had to be apart alot when we were engaged and after we married.
The only thing I ever feared during that time was that we would get used to being apart and it wouldn't bother us anymore. I saw that happen w/friends in the same situation and never wanted it to happen to us. Luckily it didn't.I like to think we would have made some major changes if we felt our relationship was suffering, and I feel confident Rob and Kristen would do the same. They are smart and they know what's really important.
Sorry to be long-winded. It baffles me after all this time people still worry that Rob and Kristen will let something hurt their relationship. They have always seemed so protective of it, I can't imagine they would start treating it carelessly now.
Hugs to all my friends!
Hi Sjjw- I hope you're doing well.
Hi Groovie,Lindsey,Angelica,jojo,
Kay,Vangie,Super,Katy,and dottie :)
I love your friend's message, Rose. He's so right. Love is less about logistics than genuine feeling.
I really don't know why so many get so exercised about where Rob and Kris are in juxtaposition to each other. It's their life and they'll do what they want. Correction: Are doing what they want.
Hi Rose,
Thanks for your post.
I’m just popping in quickly to say hi to everyone. I hope everyone is well.
While it’s nice to think of Rob being in London while Kristen films SWATH, I have confidence that whatever happens, Rob and Kristen will do what is right for them.
Fio – hope you are feeling better.
Stay well all, and hope to talk to you later, between Powerpoint slides…..
Hello dear Rose and Roseland,
I am just saying hello. Haven't stopped in awhile and hoping everyone is well. I wanted to share this video in case anyone doesn't know who Buckley is. HIs story is tragic--father was a brilliant musician who died too young. Then Jeff (the son) drowned at age 30. He was amazing and had a beautiful voice. Enjoy--
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKnxmkOAj88
Take care and stay well.
Rose--great job with the post. I adore the way you write...and stuff.
You give me hope!
Boy your friend is a smart guy...wish everyone that gets in a tizzy over them being apart could read those words and take heed.
They are a sweet couple. We see what they have(the normal fans)and can't help smile and cheer them on.
Love the picture of Tom in his duck and tulip sweater. Takes a secure man... :)
Happy Wednesday friends!

Hi Syd- Nice to see you stop by, I hope all is going well. Thanks for the link :)
Hi Syd :)
Hi Angelica and Rhonda! Nice to see you both--hope your day/evening is going well.
Random Rose, Reflective Rose...
You always make perfect, logical sense in all of your posts.
'A walk a day keeps the doctor away!'
LOL...love your Rose-isms!
Fio... sorry your eye is worse. Please take care.
Happy Wednesday All!!
Happy Wednesday, Rose, enjoyed your post. Your friend's words were very wise. I ignore all the rumors about Rob and/or Kristen cheating. I have faith that they are doing what is right for their relationship, and I do not believe either one would cheat on the other, I just do not believe it. They have too much respect for each other, and too much love, they are not going to do that.
Take care Rose and all Roselanders, and have a good week.
@Syd
Nice to see you here. Thanks for the Buckley info.
@Rose
Just the right mix, that's what you give us, always.
DK
Why are people upset about them being apart? I read that Rob didn't get the role of Buckley. Did I miss something?
@cj
Thanks for making me smile!
You have missed tons, tons of misinformation and tons of other stuff. I'd say, lucky for you.
Nothing is confirmed or denied, as usual, and we are all busy living our lives, aren't we?
Welcome to Roseland, we're a happy group here.
DK/Dreamer
If anyone has heard anything differently, please respond, I always have thought that Rob would be absolutely PERFECT for that role!!!
Melinda, I love that quote!
Hello to Syd!
I just got back from taking some dinner to my dad. When he opened the door he had on a lime green mullet wig! LOL I think he's finally gone 'round the bend! I'm still giggling and in a bit of shock from the whole experience.
Cj-
I think that rumour has yet to be confirmed. Supposedly the principle people that were up for the role have been told no final decision has been made. Whether or not Penn has it sealed is certainly not confirmed. Sometimes when actors want roles they will get it out there that they already have it--its a risky move but it does work now and again. In any case I doubt Rob is "crying" as one tabloid reported.
Hi DK! How's my favourite songstress tonight?
Syd- Thanks, I'm having a good one. How about you?
Hi dottie- Lol, lime green, huh?
Hi Melinda,DK and cj :)
@Syd
I am very well and itching for some red wine and will scratch that itch, very soon!
Nice to be your favourite in anything, but especially songs, too!
I'm always cranking 'em out and some for you, too, Pokey!
DK
DK, I like your attitude :) Everyone needs to practice being laid back like you!
Rhonda, The man is a hoot! I never know what to expect.
@DreamerKind
Nice to meet you, and I'm glad I made you smile, lol. Sorry, I'm a little out of the loop, as I'm on vacation. I tend to ignore at least half of the garbage that is written about Rob and Kris, much of it is so utterly ridiculous! We all know they are rock-solid and are great at making things work for them. But I've been trying to follow the Jeff Buckley news since it seemed like Rob would be a perfect fit. Although I do hate the idea of seeing him die in yet another movie...I know, pretty lame, but I always cry at the end of Remember Me! Anyway, thanks for the welcome, I read this blog and comments pretty regularly and always enjoy it! And love your song lyrics!!!
DK- I'm home bound tonight, so I'll join you with a glass of red :)
Dottie- That's so cool, makes me miss my dad.
Rhonda, DK - I think I'll join you with the red wine, I'm in the doghouse!
Awww I'm sorry Rhonda. I feel the same way when someone talks about their mom.
I'll join you and DK for a glass of wine. :)
Angelica- Lol, how much trouble are you in?
@Rhonda
Oh, good, love to have company. It just started pouring outside so what better time to tipple?
@dottie
So often you write things that really move me, to laughter, remembering and feeling. I agree with the don't forget to miss your loved one bit, don't get complacent in being apart.
Also, green mullet, so funny, like my sister and I wearing wigs to my son's birthday fete.
Thought we were a little cracked, but we showed them all of the way cracked, applied instead.
(There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.-Leonard Cohen)
@cj
Hope you vacay is going well. I'm not much of a newscaster, usually on the sidelines, but all is well, as far as I care to believe.
Rhonda - I forgot where he was and woke him up at 4am. I'm not sure which part he's most upset about :)
It's a party!!
@angelica1
Woof, woof, is it comfy in the doghouse? Here-you are in the cozy, welcoming place.
Angelica- Lol, at least you didn't forget to call :)
On the Jeff Buckley thing
You have to remember who the 'source' of this is, Hollywood Life.
Probably the most embarrassing and uninformed publication out there. If they put their words on paper I wouldn't wipe my ass with it.
They have also written a LOT of obvious lies about Rob and Kristen. They're the definition of trash IMO.
I'll support both Rob and Kristen 110% in whatever project they decide to do.
Hi Claire- Well said, and I agree.
DK, Wearing a wig every now and again must be good for the soul! I think you and your sis wearing one to your son's bday celebration is brilliant!
Angelica, OOPS! I hope he has forgiven you by now. Where is your hubs at the moment? I had forgotten that he is away much of the time until I read your earlier post.
Hi Claire - Well yes, if we believe Hollywood Life, Rob's busy planning a simple wedding in London, while Kristen's on a date with Garrett so of course they must be right about this!!
Great post Rose..
All the opinions in the world won't change the fact that Rob & Kristen KNOW what is right for them!
- Just as your wise friend said.. They are 'close' no matter how far apart they are!
I love love love (ed) Jeff Buckley.. & would be pleased to see the movie come to fruition !
I can't help but think Tom would fit the role- physically & his demeanor! - just a random thought :)
Hi to all in Roseland.
Hello DK and RHONDA...I am so excited to FINALLY get on the blog when you all are hanging around!!!!..(hope you are still there)......
dottie - He seems to have, I grovelled lots!! He's in India then heading to Thailand this time.
@Super
I'm still here, with wine and roast beef on rye. Missed your call earlier I see, :(
@angelica1
I do so admire you and your 17 years of making your love/marriage good.
Hi Tigerlily & Super
Dottie- Thanks :)
Angelica- You know he won't stay mad ;)
Hi Rose and Everyone out there in Roseland,
It's been awhile since I commented, though I've been lurking. Rose, your friend's comments about being "close" when two can't be physically close are right on, ain't it the truth? Look at Dolly Parton and her hubby, been together for 30 or so years and are apart most of the time. And he is SO RIGHT that it appears that just as many couples who are together all the time break up as those that are apart a lot.
Oh, how we wonder where Kristen is, personally, I think she may have been in Toronto last weekend when those pics of Rob were taken on the balcony, maybe she was hiding in the room, lol Hopefully she's spending some time with her family before heading across the pond. Rob & Kris are so smart, they KNOW that they'll be together while she's filming in London and they'll both get to spend time with his family. Guess it'll be Bear's first trip to London!!!
Is everyone else as excited as I am to see Breaking Dawn? Summit knew what it was doing by releasing that trailer to tease us with the wedding and the scene with the "little nudger" where Kristen looks more beautiful than I've ever seen her look.
Sorry to ramble on, gotta go twirl!!! Because IF they're not together right now, as Rose says and I believe, also; THEY'LL BE TOGETHER SOON.
Liz in NC
Hi ANGELICA and TIGER LILY, DOTTIE and CLAIRE! I am fixing to kick back with another Marg....
Rose, lovely post, and you and your friends seem to have the gift of writing! Wise, succinct, sincere, and funny...
Syd, it's been a awhile...you have most surely been missed! Hope you are keeping Miss Smitty out of trouble... :) Thanks for the Buckley link... we'll keep our fingers crossed for Rob to get this part...as with most things, it will happen if it's meant to be!
DK: you don't just belong to Syd as favorite songstress; the love of the rest of us knows no bounds where you and your playlists are concerned!
angelica, hope you get out of the doghouse soon...
Kay: well-said
Hi Rhonda, dottie, Super, Tigerlily, cj, Claire and anyone else still around
Hello everyone --if i may add to what the estimable Syd had to say... oft times when a premature casting announcement is deployed, the actor involved doesnt' have a chance in hell of getting the part, but his management is leveraging the buzz around a project to make the actor seem more in demand.
Hi LIZ..Yes please count me in as VERY EXCITED and can hardly wait for BD 1. Good to see you!
That's good, Angelica.
Hello to Super and Tigerlily :)
Clair, I don't believe much of anything that is written about R/K anymore. Even the reputable mags have gotten things wrong. It's easier to just wait and see what happens or see what Rose has to say. Rose knows! LOL
Hi Liz and Kenzz :)
Hi Real Pr Pro- As always, love to hear your insight :)
@angelica1
Seriously, the amount of lies they tell about Rob and Kristen is ridiculous.
@Tigerlily
I too could see Tom doing the role. He's such a talented guy and I would LOVE to see him get a break in mainstream Hollywood.
Although On The Road isn't exactly 'mainstream' I hope this is the movie where people really take notice of him.
Hey sjjw, Rhonda, Mel, Freddie, Katy, dottie, Angelica, DK, Super, Groovie, Barbara, Hope, Claire, cj, Kenzz, real pr pro, LIZ, Tigerlily, Hope, Syd and anyone else out there that I inadvertently missed (whew) - hope you are all having a good night!
Dottie, lol! Gotta love a guy with a sense of humor!!
DK and Angelica, now I have wine on my mind, too....it will be in a glass very soon.
Syd, thanks for the Jeff Buckley link...good to see you in Roseland.
Take care and have a great night everyone, I think I'm going to go take a walk in the rain. :)
Hey there, Liz and Kenzz!
Enjoy your walk, Kay :)
Thanks for your input, realprpro. You have been missed around here lately! Hope all is well.
HI ALL, it's me again!!!
Sorry, I forgot to mention to everyone that I "listened" to COSMOPOLIS on audio book last week and WOW, I can't wait to see Rob in this part. It was really great and is read by the actor, Matt Dillon.
Liz in NC
"A boy and his dog and the girl who came to stay"
LMAO! hahahaa
Rose thanks for this...
not only for your wise words (and your friends' of course..) but also for always bringing a smile on my face :) thank you!
excellent post! one of my fav :)
Hello ladies..
I cant sleep hehe
I'm gonna catch up on your comments..
be back in a few :)
Hi Super,Kenzz,Tigerlily,Liz.
DK - I'm fortunate, he's very easygoing and patient :)
Claire- I can't wait to see Tom and Kristen in that movie. I think it'll be great.
Hi Kay :)
@Kenzz
Love you too, sweets!
@Claire
Howdy!
@realprpro
Makes sense, and I'm getting some.
Thanks.
Hi KENZZ..I am glad to see you on...hope you have had a good day..
Hi PRPRO...Thanks for the info!! I havent seen you with us as of late..I am not very worried that Rob wont get a part...It seems he is in high demand and doesnt need his team to go to any extraordinary measures in order to gain employment!
Hi Fio- I hope your eye is doing better.
Hi Super, Angelica, dottie, Tigerlily, Rhonda, PR Pro, Claire, Kay, Kenzz, LIZ, DK, Syd, cj, Barbara, Hope, Melinda, Robin, Groovie, Lindsey, Katy, sjjw, Vangie and anyone else I may have missed.
It seems I'm late to the party. I'm just back home after a hectic day at the looney bin (work). What's up with everyone?
@LIZ & Kay
What a great time to see you! Par-tee!
Hi Freddie and Fio!
It's nice to see lots of us here at the same time.
Fio, tell us what is going on now w/your hacker situation? Were you able to retrieve any of your videos or other stuff?
My word: Groper!
Hi Freddie :)
@Rhonda
I can't wait either! I couldn't get into the book though, I tried.
The movie I want to see more than any other is Bel Ami (wtf are you doing with it powers that be?). I read that book a few years ago and absolutely loved it. When I found out Rob was playing Duroy I was beside myself, my favorite actor starring in an adaptation of one of my favorite novels = me in heaven. LOL
@Freddie
Put the looney bin behind you and join us here in the hottie bin.
FIO...How are you feeling? Im right with you on the post today!!!! ROSE is fantastic..we really thank you Rose!!
ANGELICA..The puppy looks so sweet and comfy.
Fio: hope the eye is a bit better... sounds like your exams are going well
prpro: so nice to get your perspective on the "biz"
Super & DK: what are 2 of my fav ladies drinking tonite? Did I see mention of red wine and marguerita's?
Kay: run between the raindrops to stay dry!
Claire- Lol, I've heard other people say that about the book too, but I loved it, and have read it many times.
I regards to Bel Ami..I know, just release it already!
Super - Yes, she definitely likes her comfort :)
Hi Freddie
Wow DK - the hottie bin. I hope I can measure up. I can only put the looney bin away and play for awhile. My PC and work beckons tonight....
How are you DK? What's this about wigs or hats??? I only had a chance to scan the comments and I thought I saw something about that.
Hi Rhonda and dottie - how are you both?
FREDDIE..what are we drinking tonight?
CLAIRE..Im right there with you about Bel Ami...PRPRO, do you think they have purposely delayed the release because they think it will hurt Robs career because his character is such a scum ball?
KENZZ..I will have another Marg unless I get a better suggestion
Freddie- I'm good, hope work's not too bad for you right now :)
Super - how did you guess that I'd be hitting the drink again tonight??? It'll be a Dry Reisling tonight. And you? Are you one of the folks taste-testing red wine? Has the week been improving since the close encounter with the leftovers in your lap?
Hey Angelica - I can understand how it would be easy to mess up time-zones, considering how much your hubby travels, but I'm sure he was a bit shocked when the phone rang. LOL.
Freddie, Hope, Rhonda, Super, Kenzz, Dottie: I'm feeling a bit better today. thanks for asking..
I passed my exam and the eye is recovering a bit after putting some cortisone (is it the right word..?) on it...
(btw, I also thanked you all for support in the last post, last comment of course since I always come when no one is around hehe).
Dottie- lol at your dad :)
about the hacker, I dont really know what to do about it.. I mean, i have the IP of this person but I'm still thinking if going to the police or not.. :/ I'll see what to do..
meantime I got my channel back but no videos on it, so have been re-uploading them all day =(
I'm just so sorry for the video for Kristen birthday.. that had such a great response.. everyone could see how amazing she is.. and now it's gone.. :( too bad..
anyway, I relised and am fully aware that these are not real tragedies of the world..
as long as I'm still pissed and feeling violated and bad about it.. I have to thank I'm alive, I have a family and a house...
So seriously.. I'm lucky enough to have all this...
Anyway.. is anybody still sober here after all the wine?? lol
DK: thanks for the music you've been posting in the previous posts! xx
Syd - thanks for the link. perfect for my mood tonight.
Of course I know Jeff Buckley story..
and I have to say (reliable or not) I'd love to see Rob playing the part.. and actually the fact that it would mean RK being apart didnt worry me at all..
also cause it should not worry any of us, since it's their life and their relationship...
Liz- twirling with you here :) and i'm so excited for BD as well! Cant wait!!
I also wanted to add how happy I am to hear about your storied with hubbies that worked even on distance! that's really great for you to have found someone like the ones you have! :')
about the rumors spreading on sites, AT, twitter and everything..
I don't believe a thing of what I read about RK LOL
i could easily go on the AT and say I saw Robert coming out from a plane's toilet with bushy hair and a girl who didnt look at all like Kristen... lol
come on... that's insane *facepalm*
@Claire & Rhonda
I love me some Georges D. too! We are united in our support of Bel Ami. (I fell a wee bit in love with him in the novel, for he was a lost boy, imo.)
@Freddie
Hats, I have pics but got to find the usb cord and transfer and photoshop for best view.
@dottie
Are you laughing about now?
@Fio
Thinking that the best is yet ahead for you, luv.
Oh, am having Cono Sur-Chilean Pinot Noir 2009 and it is grand!
And Kitchen Cooked Kettle chips from Farmington, IL. Gazooks!
Freddie, I'm doing just fine, thanks for asking. I hope you are too.
Fio, You are handling everything in the best possible way. Good for you! I'm happy that your eye is better and that you passed your exam.
DK, Those kettle chips sound really good. I ate some butter pecan ice cream and was just thinking that I need something salty now. It's a vicious circle! LOL
Take care, ladies! I hope to "see" you again tomorrow.
DK- Lol, his character is horrible, but when I read the book, I found myself feeling bad for him too :)
@dottie
Surprise! They can be ordered online and arrive in a timely manner, to maintain that vicious circle, in a tin can to protect them. Win, win and more.
Have a great night.
@Rhonda
Certainly Georges D. had lost his moral compass, but he did have an absent mother/father and lots of losses, that we today, would find many truths/reasons, to justify his behaviors.
Plus those women, although stuck in their time with its female limitations, did not hesitate to compromise their integrity for desire/love. Oh, well, the world turns on a dime or a dip.
FREDDIE..I love Riesling!! Cheers!!! Well, I didnt have any major catastrophe today sooo,I guess things have settled down..lol
DK..If you fell a little in love reading the book, I suspect you will be head over heels when you see the movie...just sayin!
@All
If I annoy you with any of my song posts, please tell me. I like to know whom I am annoying.
(Love you, bubbas)
@Super
If only I would have my heels over my head, at any time, darlin'.
Thanks Dk and dottie xx
Hi to everyone else.. and.. goodbye to everyone lol
i'm off to sleep a bit..
talk to you tomorrow!
*hugs to everyone*
DK - not bugged in the least. Keep rockin it.
Night Fio - take care. Hope you are on the mend.
DK- Not at all, I love your song selections..((Hugs))

Head Over Heels In Love With You
Flatt & Scruggs-1957:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_RfgyBZprM
I think I'll go across the ocean
If I don't change my notion
I've just got to forget you
If I can
I'm feeling so blue
I don't know what to do
Because I'm head over heels
In love with you
Every day is sad and lonely
For I'm thinking of you only
I just can't sleep when I lay down
Oh I'd like to be forgiven
But this life ain't worth living
If have to sit and worry over you
Oh the nights are long and dreary
All I do is sit and worry
I just can't bear the thought of losing you
Thank you/Ijimmie2
Heh, DK....Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs..They were on the Beverly Hillbillies..I used to enjoy them playing on that show!... Over the rainbow, of course...
@Super
I do my damnest to be enchanting, and looks like be damned, I am!
Fairy godmothers do have an advantage re: enchantment making, and I use it when I can get away with it.
I certainly love Rose, Syd, Smitty, Gruff, you and all Roselanders, Lurkers and some One-Off Ones, too. It isn't hard to do-you are all my bros, sisses, and mo'.
Lovin' this party of ours.
Tom Sturridge would make a BRILLIANT Jeff Buckley. Brilliant.
:*
Rose: I just googled a few photos/vids of Buckley...man, couldn't Tom do him justice? There is a definite resemblance or reminder of Tom in the angular features, that strength under the cuteness, and the obvious intelligence and soulfulness!
@Rose
You bet! Watched most of his audition video and it's all one could wish, in every way.
You got my vote:) Hi Rose.
DK- I've been on a kick with the Steve Miller Band lately, love it!
Hi Rose :)
DK - well put: I'm lovin this little party of ours as well.
Hey Kenzz. Hey Rose. Hope you are both well. Hi Super (again).
I just watched the Jeff Buckley video that Syd posted. I can see what you are saying about Tom doing the role. There are similarities in appearance. I'm sure he would be quite wonderful in the part. At the same time, in listening to Jeff Buckley sing, I could hear real similarities in vocal style with Rob. It would be great to see Rob in a role where he could showcase his singing talents as well.
Thanks for posting the video Syd.
Freddie- That's true, either one would be great.
Hi Freddie & Rhonda! How are the other northeasteners this evening?
DK and Friends...The second Marg has got me ready to call it a day. I have enjoyed spending the evening with you all. Have a wonderful evening and I look forward to next time.
Hi Kenzz, Bye Super
Rose....
Have not commented in a while but as always such great words. And as for Rob's potential new work.....like you said only time will tell. Best not to put the cart before the horse.
Have a good night Super.
Kenzz - I'm good thanks. I'm multi-tasking again with work and Roseland lurking and glancing in occasionally on the hockey game. It looks like there could be celebrating in Boston tomorrow morning.....
Goodnite Super..
Here's Tom's audition video for those who'd like to see him in "Action!".

Ease on down the road, girlie! Two margs make one sleep.
Hey Everyone!
Rose~Excellent post as always! Totally enjoyed it!
Dagnabit! I missed Syd :(
@*IB*
What about us? Poof, Syd disappeared a long time ago. We're here!
Hi IB :)

Let me see if I'm caught up on your goings on....
School's out this week and cheerleading continues, but everything is helter skelter and you're antsy for the summer break?
DK
i saw where you posted a link to a lester flatt and earl scruggs song. you are probably familiar with earl's son randy and his version of joni mitchell's "both sides now" in case you aren't it's just him doing an instrumental version on his acoustic, but it is timeless
hope everyone is having a good night
robert
@Robert
Hello! So nice to hear from ya. Let me take a look at the version you are talking about, and then I can comment.
@Robert
Well, so far, haven't found it but am off on a tangent with pickin', banjos, Steve Goodman, and all of those impressarios.
Thanks.
How are you?
Dk,
Just passing by again but I wanted to let you know I enjoyed the Donovan selection this morning. I was too young to experience the 60's, but I thought by listening to Donovan I was a hippie. I still enjoy his music. I must not be alone because Cheerios used "Happiness Runs" in one of their commercials.
Hi DK,Rhonda,Kay,Claire, Fio, Super, Freddie, Kenzz, Angelica , IB , PrPro & everyone else.. It's taken so long to catch up.
Cheers to the ladies having a tipple! DK - I like the sound of your red! Also love your songs- I look forward to your selections :)
Rose & Claire-- I love that you agree about Tom = a great Jeff Buckley! I was worried some might take
offense.. He just has a quality that reminds me of the beautiful late JB.
Of course I am happy for Rob to get the role- as I could watch Rob in anything! :) ...
I can't recall who mentioned BD 1 ... But I agree .. Nov can't come soon enough ;)
@Penny Lane
Of course, I know that you were too young to enjoy the 60's, and I barely remember them, except to have gotten married and such, lol.
Donovan, you made me remember him and so now I just have to post those wonderful songs. Thanks, dear.
**********************************
Need to answer the phone, back when I can be back.
DK Thanks for the link of Tom auditing for the Buckley role. It was great too see him in character for the part especially with a American accent. I can see him or Rob for this part I wonder if Tom plays (guitar) though? Regardless, both of them are talented enough for the role and my butt would be flocked too that theater. :)
@Tigerlily
Good evening! Glad you like them (songs).
I agree, Rob or Tom, either would be lovely.
Since the decision is so utterly out of my sphere of influence, I'm estatic to be able to adore either choice.
hey there i'm really good
i'm teaching the summer session and today my students asked me about my ex wife. i told them i was married for 15 years and 6 of them were spent going to couples counselling, until one night i was in the middle of a sentence when the therapist began to snore. they got a hoot out of that
couple of ideas: you might have more luck finding it by looking under the nitty gritty dirt band, the first recording he made of it was on their will the circle be unbroken collection
more in a minute
@30
Hey, there. My butt would be, too.
BBS
And Rose, your friends words sound like they are coming from a place of great knowledge,respect,love for there significant other. Well done. :)
@Robert
That was very amusing.
How about a marriage counselor who says your spouse will never change, so best to get a divorce? That was a shocker.
I saw the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band bits, with Randy and/or his arrangements on YT.
Puts me in the mood...
Hi Penny, Robert and 30 :)
Tigerlily- What time is it there?
@ DK- Wow!! just watched the audition- its great! :)
@Dottie- I love your story of your Dad wearing the wig.. he sounds like a real character!
@ Super- Hope your Margarita's are going down well ;)
Hi Rhonda- It's Thursday 1230pm.
What about where you are?
An American Dream
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band/Linda Ronstadt:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gkif7gqv7Y8
I beg your pardon, mama, what did you say?
My mind was drifting off on Martinique Bay.
It's not that I'm not interested, you see;
Augusta, Georgia is just no place to be.
I think Jamaican in the moonlight.
Sandy beaches, drinking rum every night.
We got no money, mama, but we can go;
We'll split the difference, go to Coconut Grove.
Keep on talking, mama, I can hear
Your voice, it tickles down inside of my ear.
I feel a tropical vacation this year,
Might be the answer to this hillbilly fear.
I think Jamaican in the moonlight.
Sandy beaches, drinking rum every night.
We got no money, mama, but we can go;
We'll split the difference, go to Coconut Grove.
Voila! An American Dream.
Well, we can travel girl, without any means.
When it's as easy as closing your eyes
And dream Jamaica is a big neon sign.
Just keep talking, mama, I like that sound.
It goes so easy with that rain falling down.
I think a tropical vacation this year,

Tigerlily- It's Wednesday, 10:40pm.
I'm sorry if I missed this, but are you a nurse too?
Rhonda - Yes I am an RN.
@Tigerlily
Seems like everywhere I go, I run into either Tom or Rob material. Could that be because I go looking for it? Nah....it finds me.
I have a vast network like the cosmos, to plumb the depths, as a fan of both. And, Kristen's star lights up the galaxy, for more delighful observations.
Not that you asked me, of course!!
;)
oh man do i love steve goodman, anything he did with john prine [souvenirs] but he also did the best version of an old folk song called "the dutchman" which, if you haven't heard, you HAVE to soon
great story, when goodman finished writing "city of new orleans" he knew it was going to be his signature song so he took it to arlo, who apparently did not think he could do it justice so he says let's see if denver wants it. he gets john denver on the phone and says "goodman has just written the best song i have ever heard and if you don't record it by the end of the week, i will" denver says "i leave to go on tour tomorrow so i guess it's all yours,"
don't you love it
Tigerlily- Cool, there's several of us here.
DK- I love your way with words :) I can't believe we're here at the same time...this is what happens when my plans get cancelled. I've been on here way too long :)
@Robert
I do love it! The Dutchman, oh, yeah.
And you know Steve was a Chicagoan, and then he moved to Cali. Can't believe that I never saw him here, although he was much talked about back then. Sweetest voice and man, ever, they said.
"Hey, Chicago, whadda ya say? The Cubs are gonna win today!" (Never changes, the gonna part.)
DK- lol
I am always happy to hear your thoughts... I especially like "Kristen's star lights up the galaxy"
- You have such a lovely way with words.
Rhonda- if my memory serves me..and often it doesn't :).. you are a nurse too?
Rhonda- I just saw your post...
It's nice to see I'm in good company!!
Yes you guys are doing the nightowl thing 'tonight'
Robert- You have some great stories.
Tigerlily- Yes, I am.
@Rhonda
Somewhere along the line, the words started coming out their way, and that makes all of the difference, lol!
We really struck it rich with the cast of great Roselanders tonight.
Hey, hard working, Rhonda, and all of you nurses, thanks for doing such a hard job.
Come here often, to forget about how hard it truly is. It's a small world after all.
DK- Thanks :) It has been busy around here tonight, that's a good thing. I was supposed to meet some friends at a lakefront restaurant, but some unexpected storms came along and we got derailed.
That's sweet DK- it can be a tough job but can also be very rewarding.
I'm off to do some painting (of interior walls)- we are doing a major renovating job on our home.
On the home stretch now thankfully.
I will be glad to not see a tin of paint after we have finished, for a LONG time!
Bye- DK, Rhonda & Robert - sweet dreams.
thanks rhonda, i love to tell stories, in fact, DK mentioning the cubs, reminds me of my favorite harry carey story. carey was calling a cubs game when someone hit an infield pop up and harry says "shortstop jose vizcaino gets under it, oh no, he's lost it in the sun, now how does a guy from mexico lose it in the sun?"
Have to return a call. Hope you all can stay, but if not, it's been a slice!
Robert- Hahaha..you're good at it too.
Tigerlily- Good luck with the remodel :)
DK- It has been fun, but I'm officially out.
Have a great night everyone..
TTYL
Rose! Great post and great friend! Knows what is love...the true love...how our favorite couple...
This week...better forget...much nonsense...evil "fans"... very sad...my heart broke for Rob... leave him peace in his job... for Kris... leave her peace in her life...doesn't hurting them...
DK, thanks, video TOM STURRIDGE AUDITION JEFF BUCKLEY . He's amazing!
Hugs for all
How amazing it is to talk with friends, and later realize it's a new day!
I'll be bumping around my place, doing some nightowl chores (cause that's when I'm awake).
@Bren, Birdie or Gwen
Post a comment if you want my attention. Post a song and you know I'll listen to it.
I'll be back, poking my nose in & out, like ole Syd (aka Pokey).
All are welcome, if good is intended.
Twas so bootiful to be here with you all earlier, that's a fact.
DK
@Wania
Hi, ho! Good points and happy day to you.
@Robert
Harry was a treasure! Like you are.
DK, sorry about that i fell asleep.
and now i'm off to bed. but i'm glad we got to talk
i say goodnight with this:
two of us riding nowhere sending postcards on our way back home

Yes, we are.
For Sons & Daughters of Fathers
Leader Of The Band
Dan Fogelberg:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQmkoMZyvOQ
An only child
Alone and wild
A cabinetmaker's son
His hands were meant
For different work
And his heart was known
To none --
He left his home
And went his lone
And solitary way
And he gave to me
A gift I know I never
Can repay
A quiet man of music
Denied a simpler fate
He tried to be a soldier once
But his music wouldn't wait
He earned his love
Through discipline
A thundering, velvet hand
His gentle means of sculpting souls
Took me years to understand.
The leader of the band is tired
And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through
My instrument
And his song is in my soul --
My life has been a poor attempt
To imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy
To the leader of the band.
My brothers' lives were
Different
For they heard another call
One went to Chicago
And the other to St. Paul
And I'm in Colorado
When I'm not in some hotel
Living out this life I've chose
And come to know so well.
I thank you for the music
And your stories of the road
I thank you for the freedom
When it came my time to go --
I thank you for the kindness
And the times when you got tough
And, Papa, I don't think I
Said 'I love you' near enough --
The leader of the band is tired
And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through
My instrument
And his song is in my soul --
My life has been a poor attempt
To imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy
To the leader of the band
I am the living legacy
To the leader of the band.
Thank you/musiclyricsjake
Far Away From Home
Groove Coverage:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ti1dAC6r94
I'm loving living every single day
But sometimes I feel so....
I hope to find a little peace of mind
And I just want to know
And who can heal those tiny broken hearts
And what are we to be
Where is home on the milky way of stars
I dry my eyes again
In my dreams
I am not so far away from home
What am I in a world
So far away from home
All my life
All the time
So far away from home
Without you
I will be so far away from home
If we could make it
Through the darkest night
We'd have a brighter day
The world I see
Byond your pretty eyes
Makes me want to stay
I count on you
No matter what they say
Cause love can find its time
I hope to be a part of you
Again
Baby let us shine
In my dreams I am not
So far away from home
What am I in a world
So far away from home
All my life
All the time
So far away from home
Without you
I will be so far away from home
Thank you/delziebigpimp
DK,
My last long day of work and then I have a few days to play. Thank you for link to Tom's audition, very talented young man.
Rose,
Enjoyed the random thoughts. Very wise words from your friend. "A boy and his dog and the girl who came to stay",loved this!
Have a great day,Roselanders!
I saw that too, sjjw....that would be interesting, wouldn't it?! I guess we'll just have to wait and see how it all shakes out....I think it would be great if Rob and/or Tom were involved.
Have a happy Thursday everyone!
Hi Kay ~ I deleted my comment b/c I didn't watch the audition tape long enough! lol Interesting though for Tom to have auditioned for this role. That would be great! So much chatter about the Jeff Buckley pic - can't wait for an announcement!
Hi again to all.
My favorite line from Rose's friends post: "If she were on a block of ice on the South Pole, I would still feel close to her....." What an amazing thing to say.
Yes Rose I really do read the comments--hahahaha! It is the most exciting part of sitting in a waiting room. I love the friendships here although I mostly am confused since I am out of the loop.
Hi Roseland--hope everyone is having a terrific Thursday. Nice chatting with a few of you yesterday.
Hi Syd - Waiting room? I hope you're not sick!
Just checking in to see if our Rose posted today (yet). It's always entertaining to see what went on here while most of us were sleeping or otherwise occupied. DK sure knows how to keep the party rolling! haha
Syd checking in from a waiting room? I hope you're not ill and having to see a dr.
I spent some time in a waiting room this morning as well. My son had to have a root canal. Poor fella.
Rhonda, I saw that you had some storms last night. We had them here, too. Probably the same front since we're neighbors and all now! I just like the sound of that for some reason. ;)
Hope you all are enjoying the day. Life is good!
Syd: don't fret, I'm "in-the-loop" and am still often confused! Hope you have left the waiting room and are on to funner activities...
Good morning to angelica, sjjw, and Kay (I hope the rest of you pre-dawn posters are enjoying a good sleep right about now!)...
Tom's audition tape...no words...every take he did seemed fresh and unique from the one before it! I'm intrigued by the story of this fellow (Buckley), as I had not heard of him previous to the biopic casting rumors. Perhaps Syd could shed more light on the backstory of this talented musician the next time he's stuck in a waiting room?
Well, off to enjoy this beautiful day of sunshine and Stanley Cup wins (go Boston!)... Happy Thursday to Rose, Smitty, Gruff, Syd, and the lovelies of Roseland!
Hi dottie- we evidently cross-posted! Are you completely unpacked yet?
Enjoy your day!
Penn Badgley? That just seems randy to me that he'd be the name. I have nothing against him, I just...don't see it.
Intrigued by the idea of it being Tom. I've already enjoyed his work, but I sort of get the impression we haven't seen anything yet. And I haven't even watched the video yet.
That would be interesting though, since Rob has always expressed interest in playing the part. When are they wanting to make this film?
I don't know much about Jeff Buckley's life. But I know when his music comes on my Pandora here at work, the door gets shut and the volume gets turned up.
Hope everyone had a great day yesterday. My boss and I claimed "important meetings" and went to the baseball game yesterday afternoon. It was 85* in Denver with not a cloud in the sky. Great way to spend the day. But now I'm back at work, wishing I wasn't.
Hey Kenzz, Pretty much all unpacked. There are still pictures to be hung, but that is only because I am so indecisive.
Hope you're having a great day!
Hi Sydney, sounds like you have a cool boss!
Kenzz...I was so happy for the Bruins last night. I cannot stand the Canucks. We have a long standing rivarly with them (I am a big Colorado Avalanche fan). Even though I like the cup to be in the Western Conference...I'm happier an American team won.
Dottie: Hello! Yes, my boss the BEST. Absolutely the best. We have a blast together.
Hi Sydney, dottie, and Kenzz,
I am totally confused right now. I don't know about audition tapes and such but are you all saying that Rob and Tom and James Franco and Penn somebody are all up for the same part?
Or are Rob and Tom up for parts where they are father and son because that's all kinds of weird. Or is this all just gossip mag drivel?
PL - Rob,James Franco and Penn Badgley are apparently up for the part of Jeff Buckley in the biopic of his life. One of the gossip rags said Penn had the part and a few others picked it up but I don't think anything is confirmed yet. A few people said that they thought the part would also suit Tom.
Sydney: What a great boss/friend! But it's always hard making up for a missed day once you return to the office... Happy days here for the Bruins, the streets were filled in Boston with folks chanting "USA, USA"- I felt like we had won the Stanley Cup and the Olympics all in one night! lol
I'm with you on Tom's potential as a big star, you can just kind of feel it coming, can't you?
PL: DK posted a link last night showing Tom auditioning for the Jeff Buckley part...you have to view it!! He completely draws you in with his subtle command of facial expressions and eye contact...
dottie: I know what you mean about pics- I have some hanging on the walls that I despise, and am not sure exactly why I've hung them, except that ...they're pictures and need to be hung! :) There's one on a wall that was probably purchased 20 years ago (back when my 'taste' was all in my mouth!), and yet there it remains because I don't know what I'd replace it with!
Hi angelica...
Angelica,
Thank you and thank you! ;)
I know I could look all this up but I'm not motivated enough. Interesting, seems like people want Tom to do things just because.
Helllllloooo! Roseland! I hope you are all well. I have had a shitty week, first my central air broke coming home from work too a 90 deg house is not fun. THEN the next day I lost my cell phone and still do not have it. Needless too say, I am brooooooke with all this. Say a few prayers for me. lmao
