By: Sebastian Rex Breakfasts By: Sebastian Rex © Sebastian Rex, 2012 0 Monday, February 27th Open your eyes. The sun is up. I can feel the light. I need to get up. I don’t want to get up. Waking up is horrible. But it will only last a few minutes and then I’ll feel great again. OK. I’ll just open my eyes. I need some water. Maybe there’s a glass next to the bed. Reach out, but be careful. I don’t want to knock it over if it’s there. That will just scare me and start my morning off badly. OK. So, I’ll do it gently. What’s this? Glasses... oh, I probably need them too. I wish glasses were just literally the plural of glass. Then I could drink some water. Saying that, there is no guarantee in their literality that they’ll be filled with water. OK. I’m up now. Thank God that my childish wit puts a smile on my face. Opening eyes. It’s not as bad as I feared. Stings a bit, but I have enough time to run to the shower, wash my face and drink some water. Oh, something smells really nice. I wonder what she’s making for me today. OK. Quickly. Get dressed. Suit. Again a suit. I hate wearing suits. It can get so boring. I wish I had five hundred suits. Like Elton John. What? No. I do not want to have five hundred suits like Elton John. What the hell am I talking about? You idiot! Where is your mind this morning? Get dressed now, and we’ll never mention it again. Let’s whistle a song. Five hundred suits like Elton John. I guess it’s kind of funny. No! It’s not. Suit! One! Whistle! Whistle while you work tu du du du du du du... OK... breakfast. Hurry up. They’re probably waiting for me. Don’t worry about the socks yet. Eat and then come up. Don’t forget you still need to brush your teeth. OK. So we start off with breakfast. Where are they? Ah, here they are. “Good morning.” One from me, and wait for their replies. “Good morning.” “Good morning.” Two from them. Sit down and eat. Still smells wonderful. Shall I tell her? Why not? “It smells wonderful.” “Well, you’re just hungry. Hunger is the best cook.” Why is she saying that? It really does smell wonderful. Though it is true that I am very hungry. Still. It smells wonderful. Shall I chase it? No, she’ll just believe me less. God, she can be so annoying sometimes. Why can’t she accept a compliment? Never mind. Forget about it. Sit down and eat the pancakes – which may or may not smell © Sebastian Rex, 2012 1 wonderful. Hot. I’ll drink some of the tea instead. Good tea. Not too strong. Now pancakes. Wow. They taste so good. Yes, I know... hunger is the best cook. Whatever! I don’t care. I’ll say nothing. Oh, now she’s looking at me. What does she want? Is she waiting for approval? I don’t want to be shot down again. I’ll just nod. “Mmmm.” I feel like such an idiot. I think I offended her. Now Joshua is looking at me. Great. I’m being judged by a child. Stop looking at them and concentrate on your pancakes. Mmmm. Still delicious. OK. I should get ready to go. “Are you ready?” He’s not looking at me. Maybe he didn’t hear me. “Joshua!” “Yes. Give me five minutes.” Five minutes? That’s perfect. Just the time I need to get ready. Excellent. I know. I’ll give her a kiss. That’s bound to cheer her up. Is that a smile? Is she smiling? No. I feel like I’m fathering a baby again. Can’t tell if it’s a smile or if it’s gas. OK. So she’s angry with me. What is she angry with me about this time? I’ll smile and pretend everything is fine. If something is bothering her, she’ll come and tell me. I’m sick of having to fight my way into her complaints. God damn it. OK. Teeth need brushing and I need to finish getting ready. OK. Stop thinking and start working. Oh darn it! I haven’t put my socks on yet. Come on. Quickly. Which ones should I wear? Wear? Wearing socks? One wears socks? Brown! That’s weird. It doesn’t sound right to wear socks. “Joshua! Are you ready?” I hate waiting for others. I need to get to work, you know. Oh, here he is. He looks so sweet in his school clothes. Don’t tell him that. He’ll kill you. Keep it to yourself. Well, you can tell Helena, but don’t tell Joshua. “Come on, boy.” What is he, a dog? Get a hold of yourself, Arden. Don’t be an idiot! Though it would be nice to have a dog. Maybe I’ll bring it up with Helena. I know what I should do – talk to Joshua about it first and get him to beg her. Oh, that’s just horrible. “Goodbye, honey.” That was sweet of me. I do love her so much. I just hope she isn’t angry. “What’s planned for school today?” © Sebastian Rex, 2012 2 “I don’t know. It’s school. The same as always, you know.” Yeah... I do know. “Don’t worry. When you come back home I have a surprise for you. Also, you still want to go to the zoo on Saturday?” Is a thirteen-year-old boy too old for the zoo? Maybe we should canc... “Yeah. I can’t wait. I really want to see the sharks. I love sharks.” Oh... that’s nice. Good. “Excellent.” “Thanks for the ride, Dad. I’ll see you later.” I love seeing him like this. Why was I never this cheerful when I was his age? Thirteen was a horrible year. I just wanted to kill everyone. I think we’re good parents. We did a good job with him. Ha! Who said we were too young to have kids? What’s the time? Oh, I have enough time to get to work. Good. And then I could make a cup of tea. Hmmm... I’d love a cup of tea now. That would be so nice. OK. I’ll drive quickly, and get there quickly and drink quickly. Well, not drink quickly. Just drink. Regular speed. On second thought, if I drive too quickly I might have a car accident and die. Or be in pain or something. I don’t want that. OK. Stop thinking about crap and concentrate on the road. Drive safely. Ah, thank God. I love getting to this corner. Now I can see the office. Excellent. OK. Let’s go up and make some tea and pretend to work. Oh, stop it. You don’t pretend. You actually do work. Come on, compared to the rest of those lazy... och! I don’t want to use bad language. Why? Who cares? Nobody can hear you except yourself. Look! Penis! See? Nobody heard that. Disgusting. I shiver with disappointment. Anyway, back to work. I am most definitely the hardest worker there. But for now I’m going to have to stop thinking and just work. Right. Tea is ready. That’s nice. It’s too hot. Wait. Don’t drink. Don’t taste. No! Don’t sip. Look what you did. Now you’ve burnt your tongue. You are such an idiot! I hate you so much! OK. Work. Why is there so much paperwork in front of me? Paper. Paper... pay per... pay per person... paper person. Oooh. Maybe I can cut all of them into little men. Jules! Pretend to work. Pretend to work. Oh, why is Aaron coming over? What does he want? “Hey, Arden. You coming with us to lunch?” Why does he ask me? He knows I never go with them. “No. I’m really busy with work, but thank you.” © Sebastian Rex, 2012 3 God, I hate talking to these people. This is uncomfortable. Anyway, they all hate me. I know they do. I bet he only came as a joke so they could have something to laugh at during their lunchtime. What do they talk about anyway? Who cares? Why is he still here? Go away! Go! Thank God. Where is my sandwich? Did I leave it at home? God, I’m such an idiot! I can’t believe I forg... oh, here it is. Sorry. Yes, I apologise for calling you an idiot. Forgive me? Thank you. OK. Eat now! Enjoy your meal. Why, thank you. Why, you’re welcome. Nice sandwich. Really tastes good. That’s nice. Jules! Pretend to work while you eat – that’ll surely look impressive. Why am I trying to impress anyone? I hate this place and I don’t have any intention to seek promotion here. I wonder what’s for dinner tonight. I can’t wait to start on this jigsaw. Ten thousand pieces. Now that will take us so long. So much family time. It’s great. OK. Just work a bit more and then we can go. We? Who is we? Am I schizophrenic now? No. Not yet. But why did I say we? Fine! So I said we! For heaven’s sake! Can’t I make a mistake once in a while? God, why am I being persecuted for saying ‘we’ instead of ‘I’.

    MCA 700 Discography by David Edwards, Mike Callahan & Patrice Eyries © 2018 by Mike Callahan MCA-700 Midline/Reissue Series: By the time the reissue series reached MCA-700, most of the ABC reissues had been accomplished in the MCA 500-600s. MCA decided that when full price albums were converted to midline prices, the albums needed a new number altogether rather than just making the administrative change. In this series, we get reissues of many MCA albums that were only one to three years old, as well as a lot of Decca reissues. Rather than pay the price for new covers and labels, most of these were just stamped with the new numbers in gold ink on the front covers, with the same jackets and labels with the old catalog numbers.

  • WILLIAM LEONARD Interviewer
    TRANSCRIPT—WILLIAM LEONARD Interviewee: WILLIAM LEONARD Interviewer: SAMUEL BAKER Interview Date: March 25th, 2013 Location: The Citadel, Capers Hall, Charleston, South Carolina Length: 1 hour, 38 minutes, and 15 seconds SAMUEL BAKER: Hello, good afternoon. Today is March 25th, and we’re here at The Citadel for the Veteran’s History Project. And today I’m going to be interviewing Mr. William Leonard. Would you want to start off by telling us about your childhood here in Charleston beforehand? WILLIAM LEONARD: Let’s start by that I guess. I was born in Charleston, 97 Tradd Street, in May 17th, 1925. I was born into a family, two sisters, older sisters, and one brother, and I was the youngest in the family. And my mother was from the old, one of the old families of Charleston. And my father was what we call a maverick in Charleston. He was a fella that was born in Alabama—Birmingham, Alabama—and he came here when he was two years old in 19—in 1896. And he was never a Charlestonian. But he married into a Charleston family so that made him be, be, in. He always—my father doesn’t like Charlestonians. SB: Very well, fair enough. WL: But anyway, made him a little [bit of an] outsider. I went to local schools. And ended up by going to a school in Mt. Pleasant because they started a new school over there, and they had girls in there, and I was 16 years old and was quite interested in girls. Graduated from over there in 1943, and immediately my father put me in The Citadel.

  • August 2012 Newsletter
    August 2012 Newsletter ------------------------------------ Yesterday & Today Records P.O.Box 54 Miranda NSW 2228 Phone: (02) 95311710 Email:[email protected] www.yesterdayandtoday.com.au ------------------------------------------------ Postage Australia post is essentially the world’s most expensive service. We aim to break even on postage and will use the best method to minimise costs. One good innovation is the introduction of the “POST PLUS” satchels, which replace the old red satchels and include a tracking number. Available in 3 sizes they are 500 grams ($7.50) 3kgs ($11.50) 5kgs ($14.50) P & P. The latter 2 are perfect for larger interstate packages as anything over 500 grams even is going to cost more than $11.50. We can take a cd out of a case to reduce costs. Basically 1 cd still $2. 2cds $3 and rest as they will fit. Again Australia Post have this ludicrous notion that if a package can fit through a certain slot on a card it goes as a letter whereas if it doesn’t it is classified as a “parcel” and can cost up to 5 times as much. One day I will send a letter to the Minister for Trade as their policies are distinctly prejudicial to commerce. Out here they make massive profits but offer a very poor number of services and charge top dollar for what they do provide. Still, the mail mostly always gets there. But until ssuch times as their local monopoly remains, things won’t be much different. ----------------------------------------------- For those long term customers and anyone receiving these newsletters for the first time we have several walk in sales per year, with the next being Saturday August 25th.

  • One Thousand Miles II
    Word Count: 2,495 One Thousand Miles “Not fair,” I shout. “It’s always Doug.” Slamming the front door, I pull out my cell, hit autodial, and start walking. “Kim, it’s me, Darcy. Mom did it again—not going—can’t. She gave the car to Doug.” Kimmie shrieks, and I inch the phone away from my ear. “I know, I know. Can you believe it? He played the I’ve got a date card again. I’m sick of this crap, tired of begging. Today is the day. When I get my car, I’m gonna drive and drive—one thousand miles—and never look back.” *** Kim picks me up, and we drive in silence. She’s driven me too many places not to know I’m upset. The trip to Russelton is long, but it helps me collect my thoughts before the big purchase: driver’s license, money, Blue Book. “Pull in here,” I say, pointing to a gas station beside the road. She parks beside one of the pumps and scans the sprinkle of fields, trees, and homes along the road. “Is it safe?” “We’re not in the boonies,” I say, knowing the only place Kim feels safe is the mall. “My Aunt Shar lives here.” I point to a yellow two-story house with a garden in the front yard. “It’s where I babysit my cousin, Maddy.” “I still can’t believe you’re doing this without your mom,” she says, checking her lip gloss in the mirror. “Want me to stay?” “Nahhh, I’m fine.” Hopping from the car, I watch her drive away before trudging down the road.

  • Drama Recommended Monologues
    Bachelor of Creative Arts (Drama) Recommended Monologues 1 AUDITION PIECES – FEMALE THREE SISTERS by Anton Chekhov IRINA: Tell me, why is it I’m so happy today? Just as if I were sailing along in a boat with big white sails, and above me the wide, blue sky and in the sky great white birds floating around? You know, when I woke up this morning, and after I’d got up and washed, I suddenly felt as if everything in the world had become clear to me, and I knew the way I ought to live. I know it all now, my dear Ivan Romanych. Man must work by the sweat of his brow whatever his class, and that should make up the whole meaning and purpose of his life and happiness and contentment. Oh, how good it must be to be a workman, getting up with the sun and breaking stones by the roadside – or a shepherd – or a school-master teaching the children – or an engine-driver on the railway. Good Heavens! It’s better to be a mere ox or horse, and work, than the sort of young woman who wakes up at twelve, and drinks her coffee in bed, and then takes two hours dressing…How dreadful! You know how you long for a cool drink in hot weather? Well, that’s the way I long for work. And if I don’t get up early from now on and really work, you can refuse to be friends with me any more, Ivan Romanych. 2 HONOUR BY JOANNA MURRAY-SMITH SOPHIE: I wish—I wish I was more… Like you.

[Thematic Issue: Health of woman and child] DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/0034-7167-2017-0541 Submission: 08-06-2017 Approval: 11-18-2017 ABSTRACT Objective: To be aware of the care rituals developed by families when preparing for home birth during the gestational process. Method: Qualitative and ethnographic research developed with families during the gestational process. We adopted the observation- participation-refl ection model, and the analysis was performed according to ethnonursing.Results: Care rituals are related to the choice of home as a place for childbirth, being characterized as a family’s rite of separation to experience this process. Other care rituals involved the preparation of the family and the eldest child as well as the home, the body, and the mind of the pregnant woman, and the choice of destination of the placenta. Final considerations: We must understand the birth process beyond the biological perspective, considering women and their family as a whole, within a cultural context with their beliefs and values.

Especially not the vinegar ones. They’re bad.” Conor is standing sideways to the rows of snacks, facing the aisle that leads away from the meat section. His head is down—he’s not looking at her. He never looks at her. He’s not looking at anything except his fingers, which are opening and closing like they’re on the inside of a puppet and the puppet is talking. But the puppet is silent. It’s the motion of the hand that fascinates him, that has always fascinated him.

Welcome to The Widowed Mom Podcast, the only podcast that offers a proven process to help you work through your grief, to grow, evolve, and create a future you can truly look forward to. Here’s your host, Master Certified life coach, grief expert, widow, and mom, Krista St-Germain. Hey there. Welcome to another episode of the podcast. I know sometimes that most of us out there in Widowed Mom land feel like we’re on islands by ourselves and we don’t typically have a lot of other women to look to who have walked a similar walk, and it can just feel very isolating and lonely. And so I love the Widows Like Us interviews that I’ve done and what I hope is that when you listen to them, you hear other women who are relatable and get you, who inspire you, who help you see what’s possible for your life. Because if they can make the changes that they want to make, then the rest of us can too, right? So I’m excited to bring you this interview with a former client of mine, Bevin. I will not tell you too much about her. I’m just going to let the interview unfold, but I know that you’re going to love her.
