Who is your favorite lady detective from movies, books, or TV?


View 506 Answers

Detective Sgt Karrin Murphy, Chicago Police Department (Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files) This would be the books not the tv series.  


In the tv series they cast her all wrong, sorry, just saying.  Actress is fine, but would have been better cast as Susan Rodriquez.

What is this all about??

Okay, I admit that right now my parenting of my twins is long-distance.... but I was there ever single day of their little lives just until last year.  They are 16.5 now.

But, why when a celebrity does this: The actress and her husband practice Dr. Sears's theory of attachment parenting, and are raising their boys without the help of a nanny or childcare.

What the heck?   I did this, and we didn't have to have a name for it.  It was called being a parent.  Not being an attached parent. 

I just find this to be ridiculous.

*sigh* just glanced down this morning at the baby blanket I am crocheting and realized that somewhere along the way I had dropped some stitches in the 12th point.  So it is now a 11.5 point star blanket.  Baby shower is on Tuesday and I am beginning over.

and my lunch soup bowl tastes like there was still soap in it from when it was washed before the soup was added.  Gross.  If I start to burp bubbles we will know for sure.

Every day I can hear the ringing of the bells in the tower.  I told Mike the only thing missing from the video was the sound of the wheels on my book truck ka-thumping down the hall and across the "Thresholds of Doom" as we like to call them.

More snow.

Dear Santa,
  All I want for Christmas is for the snow to stop long enough to allow my childrens' flight to arrive.  

Thank you!

Ha!  I blame   [info]zsquirrelboy  who blames another!

(This is </a></b></a>[info]omegabeth's fault.)
  • Grab the nearest book.
  • Open the book to page 56.
  • Find the fifth sentence.
  • Post the text of the next few sentences in your journal along with these instructions.
  • Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
Hrm.
I grabbed the first book sitting at my desk, that I just recently pulled for a lost missing list.

I might have to grab another. This one is not in English. The title of the book is AKADEMIIA NAUK SSSR INSTITUT ETNOGRAPHII TRUDY N.S.1-2 1947.


Paraphrase of articles X and XI.

X. The compositor who, when work is to be started on a book, is given because he has time as his disposal, of being the first to set up a stint, has the duty when he has completed the forme, to convey it on the same day to the appropriate person for the pulling of the first proof (which will the have to be printed on the day following).

(not my book either)

I think this might be more fun.. if I was at home.  I have smut there!

Today I logged into my LJ and read a post from [info]zsquirrelboy regarding the loss of one of his friends from high school.  I followed the link you left, John and I hope you don't mind but I am going to post what I found there.
I think  his instructions for life might have something on it that every one could aspire to achieve.

So, today I am so excited I get to sleep in.  I don't have to drive him to work or pick him up!  Turns out I am so excited at not having to take him to work that I cant sleep.

Then he calls at 730 and says that I will have to pick him up today.  The gas tank is leaking.

We have to get the entire gas lines replaced to the tune of 546$.   Good thing I have a new car so that we aren't stranded.
 It just seems like a really bad dream.

So tomorrow I will be driving him to work and then picking him back up again.  Not to mention all that gasoline that he just filled the tank with on Saturday night ran out and is likely all gone.  $60+ gone.

It could also be why we were using so much more gasoline lately.  We were spending approximately 120-180$ a week in gas.

It can only get better, right?

Wow!

I drove over to Melbourne today to have lunch with my mom and sisters.  It was to be my birthday lunch.  I just love my potato soup from Olive Garden!

As we were leaving there my mother informs me that she had wanted to surprise me for my birthday with a car, but they decided to take me shopping for one so that I could pick it out!   <gasp>  I am still in shock.

I have a car!  Aiee!!!!  I cant believe it!
It is a Saturn Ion3. 2006 model with only 10,000 miles on it!   The snowbirds who owned it are moving back to NY and no longer needed it!  

Every one in the dealership kept popping in and wishing me happy birthday! 

Everyone should turn 40!

Just finished watching Maggie Smith in Keeping Mum.  I just adore Maggie Smith!  She was everything I hoped she would be in this movie!

I received it along with Becoming Jane for my birthday from Fish's Mom and Dad.  :)  I loved it.  I have wanted to see this one for such a long time.  Never could find it for rent locally and when I found it in a Planet Music they wanted a bloody arm and leg for it.  Well, hooray for Amazon wish lists! 

I loved it! (did I say that already?)  Hooray for British Comedy!

Haven't watched Becoming Jane yet, but I am saving that one to watch with Andrew.

40 is not old. I repeat 40 is not old!

Do you remember when you were young and you thought x age was old?   

Well....   hmm,   are we allowed to change our minds to say that another age is old?   I choose 237 yrs old to be old.  40 will no longer be considered old!

My darling man sent me 40 spanks over the cell phone highway  *laughs*  and a few lovely thoughts to start my day!

But the best was when he called to sing happy birthday to me!

I love him!

Is there such a thing as Mechanic Karma?

So tired.

I am beginning to think that I just have bad karma when I come to mechanics and them working on my car.   Which is odd because I have great respect for anyone who can do a job that gets their hands greasy.  Seriously.

Yesterday was not fun.

Better get busy!

Study: Masturbation May Prevent Prostate Cancer

Men who frequently masturbate appear to have a lower risk of developing prostate cancer, Australian researchers reported.

Researchers from the Cancer Council of Victoria found that men who masturbated more than five times each week were one-third less likely to develop the cancer.

The study surveyed 1,000 men who developed prostate cancer and 1,250 who did not, and all were between the ages of 20 and 50, according to a report on Monday on the gay and lesbian news site PlanetOut.

Researchers told the BBC last week that the prostate produces one of the fluids involved in ejaculation and that frequent masturbation appears to flush out carcinogens.

Sexual intercourse may not have the same effect because it increases the risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease, which could raise the risk of cancer, the Web site reported.

I think I might just make it.

Today is the first day since Tuesday night that I haven't been medicated to the gills to just survive the day.  The first two were dreadful, I can't remember my throat ever hurting that badly before.

Tomorrow will be interesting to see how I manage.  I haven't had much energy.  Exhausts me to just walk to the other room.

Everyone at work had been passing their cold around.   I managed to not get it.

Corey comes home sneezing on Friday, and now I am sick.

My throat hurts.  And the Tylenol Nighttime which I hoped would knock me out for a while, only did for 3 hrs.   And it left me feeling wonky.

Just how I want to spend my two days off this week. Sick. :(

Marquis or Marquis ??

So, how do you say it?

Marquis. as in Mar-Kee de Sade  The French pronunciation.
or
Marquis. as in The Mar-kwis of Queensbury Rules.   the English Pronounciation
 Marquis of Queensbury Rules, was the first  time I heard it pronounced this way and  when I read a historical romance, I do refer to this as mar-kwis.

Marquis of Queensbury Rules I heard used in the Quiet Man with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara.  Which is a favorite this time of year, along with Sean Connery in Darby O'Gill and the Little People.

I know that she is good and strong and deserves all the love this world has to give. Can't you see that, how wonderful, how special she is?
