Not surprised by last night's eliminations on SYTYCD. It's weird - I've wanted Randi gone for weeks now (think I bitched about it to a couple of you yesterday, in fact) but after Melissa's solo, I was like she's just kind of one-note, you know? And for a brief minute I changed my mind and then she was sent home anyway. Always the way. Good for them for all the Emmy noms. BOO for not nomming Cat! I call bullshit...

...On essentially the entire Emmy process. I'll watch this year because, of course, they just HAD to get NPH to host it, right? How can you say no to that? I'm glad HIMYM got a nomination (that they should have recieved 2 years ago and maybe not this year? Whatever, I'll take it) and I'm super super super excited for Sheldon! If I knew his name...Cooper something? Jim Parsons! Christ. Who's Cooper? Is there a Cooper? Am I crazy??? (Don't answer that.) I think it should have been nommed for Comedy as well (and what is up with all nominees in that category?? And what the frilly frek is with FAMILY GUY? Do. Not. Get.) But mostly I'm disappointed that YET AGAIN it is apparent that they have absolutely NO clue by not giving anything to FNL. This season was on par with the first and it was perfectly paced, beautifully acted, and continued to make me insanely happy AND shatter my heart into a billion pieces at the same time.

( Answers to yesterday's disaster of a cap game! )

This weekend we have a bridal shower - at night which I'm not loving - for D.'s cousin (it's one of the back-to-back weddings in August we have). Other things I must do:

Buy centerpieces/candles

Buy shirts and ties for guys/shirt for D.

Buy mini pastry boxes and mini pie tins for favors

Assemble invites, address envelopes (by hand, thank you - I hate that printed envelope thing), stamp and send by 8/21

Get in touch with PoB about dress and my concerns re: alterations

Contact restaurant for rehearsal dinner - book if not too much $$$. If too mcuh $$$, think of something else and cry.

Go to jeweler, talk to them about wedding bands - BUY two at some point before 10/9.

Make paper poms - large, medium and small

84 days and counting. There might be more but I just don't...think...so...for right now. That's what I'm looking at in the next couple of weeks. Some of it I would like to do this weekend and get it off my to-do list. One year went by super quick. One year ago I was like ooh, pretty ring, look how it sparkles! Wedding schmedding! I have plenty of time! That shit sneaks up. Believe it.

I might make this for dinner tonight: Polenta-Stuffed Poblano Peppers. Mmm...polenta.

We're having company for dinner tonight. We never have company. Mainly because our apartment is good for us and the cat but we're having our newly engaged friends over for dinner. It looks like it might rain which would be unfortunate.

At least it was summer for a week.

D. got his Gretsch guitar today. He's very excited to learn some Beatles songs for me because I couldn't possibly love him anymore, right? It's very pretty, I have to admit. He's already talking about buying another one. That's fine. There is that camera I've been wanting to purchase so...

I'm sorry about the cap game. I SUCK. Obviously. I put a few additional caps up with it to try and help a little? I'll do better next time. I promise! Er...I'll try to do better next time. I promise!

I haven't done this since um, 2005?, I think my archives tell me (egads) but tlace did it the other day and it was fun and I am bored and trying to ignore heavy, heavy things in my life and so have fun with me.

( Guess the movie - updated with some different caps eek! )

Seriously. LOVE this:

The meme and questions: RULES: Comment and I'll LJ stalk you to find THREE FANDOMS you apparently love. And then you answer these questions about them!

01: What got you into this fandom in the first place?
02: Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
03: Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?
04: Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
05: Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?

tlace gave me 90210, Gilmore Girls, and Roswell

( fandom explosion! )

So this is my attempt at a post! I was on a staycation/couchcation/what have you last week. I moved into my new office on Monday! Yes, I now have an office. Of course, as I type that, I'm sitting at my old desk covering the phones for lunch so but whatever. Office. It's quiet, kind of boring sometimes because it's like work all the time and no other distractions which was the point but it's like I ALREADY felt worked to the bone so...yeah. You get where I'm going with that.

I've done a ton of wedding stuff and yet I still have no definitive answers. Go figure. I went to a florist: fall flower prices won't be in until next month so I actually still don't know I'll be using. Oh-kay. Went for my dress fitting. Apparently did that WAY too early. BUT no one said anything to me so I will be calling them to tell the NOT alter the dress until September. She was all on me about the weight I've lost and if I was planning to lose more and I didn't know but I think it will happen just because I'm in that mode, you know? Plus, I have to run up and down the stairs now constantly so that'll help. I am not going to pay a boatload of money again to have the thing altered. Plus I forgot to ask them about taking out some of the crinoline because of the poof factor. It's not big on the poof scale but it's more than I want. I got contacts and have been freaking everyone out at work by not wearing my glasses. I don't think anyone here or our members have ever seen me not wearing glasses. I have to get used to them. It's not bad - like I remember them being. But I do take them out as soon as I get home. There's only so much I can take.

Who's watching SYTYCD?? Anyone? Because Cat Deeley and her majestic hair has sucked me in this year and I usually lose interest around this time but I am loving it so far.

I have a migraine. It must have been the caps lock on the fandom meme. :)

I'm just sad. And the more I hear - both the positive and the negative - makes me sadder. Maybe I have naive beliefs about the man - and if I do, I ask nicely that you let me have them - but the way his music shaped so much of my younger life...it's kind of amazing, actually. And I never really thought about it until now which is what happens when people pass. You think, reflect, smile and grieve. And I'm grieving that loss of my first fangirl-like behavior at the tender age of 4 and my complete love for "Rock With You" and begging my mother to buy Off the Wall with my birthday money.

And then there's Thriller, the album . Is there anything on that album I didn't love? No. The cover was the first poster I put on my wall, followed by one of him in a yellow sweater - does anyone remember that? It was a big deal because my grama did NOT like things taped to her wall (it could ruin things, don't you know?). I wore out my first tape and had to buy another. Ah, cassette tapes. Those were the days, no?

And then there's "Thriller", the song, the video, the whole big walking dead shebang. To say that Thriller catapulted my love of zombies into the stratosphere is not an exageration by any means. I watched it over and over and over (ad nauseum, really). It scared me, it fascinated me, AND there was Vincent Price who I adored from watching the Creature Double Features on Channel 56. There's so many memories tied into that one song and I won't bore you with them all. It's amazing how that one thing brought me so much joy. I become just as excited today when I hear it or see the video as I did then. It's not the greatest song ever put on the planet but how does that matter when it just makes you happy? Isn't that the point?

So today, I'm just remembering all the fun I had listening to his music growing up - from 4 to 14 - and thinking only good, positive thoughts. For today I want to remember him for bringing some truly fantastic music and entertainment into my world and listen to all the songs that got me to dance around.

...there's not much wedding planning left to do when your current worry is: what STAMPS should I put on the invite? Yeah. This is my life now. When you're - and I don't want to say competing because that sounds kind of horrible but yet so true - one of many (that's better!) in a short period of time getting married amongst a group of friends (his, btw, this is why I try not to have any), you want to make sure you distinguish yourself from the pack. I think I've started out pretty well with our save the date and such and our invites are nifty (it's weird how pre-printed I was wondering if I made the right decision but since I got them on Friday, I can't stop staring at them. They did such a great job). And so because the invitations are quirky...er than all the other invitations we've received thus far, the stamp ends up being strangely important.

Our invites are 61¢ and the Post Office only offers a wedding cake for their 61¢ stamp. I don't want some lame-o wedding cake. I'm not even HAVING a wedding cake! And I don't want the gold rings that are intertwined, either (those are only 44¢ anyway so...). Basically, if it says, "THIS IS A WEDDING INVITATION BEING MAILED" - I don't want it. Maybe I'm being picky (MAYBE??? one says) and who even cares about the stamp but apparently I do. I did buy these for the RSVP cards because I think they're neat. And not obvious. The in-your-faceness of it all just BUGS me. I can't control it.

So there's this place that you can create your own postage called zazzle. At first I took a part of my invite and made it into a stamp so it was cohesive but I still found that boring.

And then it hit me: BEANIE.

I haven't had a chance to have our cat be a part of anything. We're doing a favor donation to the MSPCA (I adopted from one location that will be closing in September due to economy) but I had really wanted to put her on the save-the-date but it was going to cost a bundle to add her on so that wasn't possible. SO I might put her in STAMP FORM. Seriously, the more I type, the more I love it. Behold Willow Bean Rosenberg as a stamp:

RIGHT?!?! How can I not have her on the invite, staring lovingly and adoringly at those invited?

I thought about maybe this one to dissuade people from checking the "will attend" box ;) :


Then I liked these two:

But none of them gave me the warm and fuzzies like the first one does. I could order 3 different kinds of stamps but I think you get a barely there discount if you order more than 1 (like 2% or something silly).

And, yes, I did just spend 20 minutes discussing STAMPS. This is not lost on me, people. I want you to know that I am well aware of the CRAZY.

I am so unbelievably hungry. There's food here and I have an apple on my desk but nothing really speaks to me. Nothing is saying, "Please - eat me." So...oh well. But I have an event tonight so I should have a snack or I may pass flat out. Hmm...I might be able to leave if I do that, though. Decisions, decisions.
.....
So...Glee has taken over my life. I think HTB (we're at 4 months and counting - D. no longer has a name. He is now HTB) is worried. He's all, "Glee...again?" You're god damn right Glee again. I was finally able to d/l the unaired extended version so I had to watch that a few times SO you know? And then I had to take caps, make icons, work on a mood theme, start a ficlet which has turned into an actual fic with nothing -let about it. So, yeah. You feel me, right?
.....
Um, let's discuss the above 4 months and counting and how in 4 months, I'll be a married woman and every once in a while, HTB and I will just look at each other in complete terror and we'll both just say let's not do it, let's take a really nice trip instead! But then we both know we really do want to be married but it's comforting that we're both happy and scared. I think he thought he had the market on having cold feet in this whole thing and I just had to set him straight. I am 100% sure that he is the guy for me. I love him whole-heartedly. I actually like him as a person! It's crazy! But, yeah, it's scary but I wouldn't want to do it with anyone else but him. So there's that. Which is a good sign. Right? Being elated and terrified comes with the territory, right??? Oh, god, I hope so or I am fucking screwed.
.....
Now I'm going to do some online shopping at J.Crew. I think I have a coupon. I need to buy a bathing suit. The thought of it makes me queasy. I was thinking strapless but they all seem to have a higher back and my wedding dress has a bit of a lower back. Ooh la la. I don't know why I'm worried about this. I avoid the sun like the plague.

After working 47 hours in 4 days, I have today off. I thought I had to go to graduation 3 hours away but it was canceled and moved to tomorrow. I wish it was just today but I'm watching Arrested Development and doing wedding stuff and just enjoying NOT being at work! Good times.
.....
Thank you for the well-wishes re: Grampa. He's home and is doing great. To quote: "I'll be fine! It's like I got an oil change and a tune up. I'm good for another 20,000 miles." I certainly hope so.
.....
I have become completely addicted to twitter in the last few days. I'm updating my facebook, too, but wow, twitter is so much easier and I can be a fangirl in brevity whereas on facebook I feel restricted because it's all old friends from high school and they don't know the extent of my love for TV. Not that I'm ashamed or anything but it's not their business. It's been 15 years. I'm not sharing now, you know?
.....
Wedding update: My dress is in the store - I just have to start the alteration process which the last dress I bought for the rehearsal dinner and the various weddings we have to go to this summer just cost me an arm & a leg to get altered because I've apparently lost weight? I guess when I no longer had to unbutton/unzip my jeans to take them off, that was an indication that it was working but I didn't want to believe it, you know? SO anyway, yeah, she has to pretty much reconstruct the dress to fit me. Yay but BOO.

I approved the proof for the wedding invitations so I should receive those in about a week. Will share once I send them out. I have asked tlace's opinion about everything under the sun (the poor girl!) and this is actually one thing that I didn't tell her my final decision on so once they're in the mail, I'll upload a pic or two.

We got our engagement photos done - not to put it in the paper or anything like that - egads! But it came with the package and it gets you and the photogs working together and feeling more comfy. I can't say enough nice things about Heather and Jesse. They made us feel so at ease and I can't wait to see what they do on 10/09. I'm extremely happy with that decision. They posted some of the photos on their blog and eek I'm actually going to share them. Don't make fun!
.....
I'm going to watch Glee again because how many times is too many? NONE times that's how many. And for the first in MONTHS, I may actually turn on my desktop and open PSP and make some icons.

One more thing - the more I watch Baby Mama, which is currently on (I finally got out of bed), the funnier it is and the more I like Amy Poehler and the more I wish Parks and Recreations was better than it is. Even though I actually kind of like Rashida in it and BRIGHT! But when the funniest thing that happens in like 10 episodes happens in the last 30 seconds of the finale, there's something wrong there.

My grandpa had a "mild" heart attack on Friday morning. Mild schmild. A heart attack is a heart attack to me. Once it starts, it starts. I'm trying to be optimistic, tried to not really think about it this weekend while he was in the hospital just being there, monitored but at 10 am he goes for the cardiac cath and it makes me nervous once people start messing around in there.

So...it WILL be fine because it HAS to be. I know at some point in time my grandparents have to leave me, I KNOW that, obviously, but I have to be honest and say this has been a complete shock to my system and NOT what I expected my grama to tell me on Saturday when she called(and don't get me started on the fact that they didn't tell me until SATURDAY! ARGH!). I'll feel better once I hear something definitive.

He's my grandpa, you know? He of the great big bear hugs and the only real father I've ever known. I just need for him to be okay. I'm not ready for this yet. Not that one ever is, I suppose.

ETA: All is good. He had 3 stents put in for the 3 areas of blockage in his heart (95% blockage, 80% and 75%). He has to stay there for 24 hours but should be able to come home tomorrow afternoon and then just lots of rest. PHEW.

( cut just in case )

IF anyone shows up to work today, I'm leaving at 12. I have 26 hours of comp time so I think I'll take some. Plus we have our engagement photos tomorrow (egads!) and I have to buy a shirt or something to wear in it. I have no idea. I dyed and cut my hair, I feel like that's about all the energy I have to give. I HAVE to start getting my shit together for this wedding thing. I have been way too lazy for far too long. I am in the process of ordering the invitations which I changed my mind AGAIN but I'm looking at the proof right this second and I'm just up in the air completely.

We did do our save the dates, though, and I thought I would share them because I, personally, think they are adorable and we got a lot of great feedback on them - which makes me feel like I win in the big wedding contest that's currently happening with the 4 of us getting married between June 13th and October 9th. Not that there IS a contest, of course, because I will prevail because mine is only 3 1/2 hours and will be AWESOME so SUCK IT other 3 weddings (2 in the same weekend, by the way so FUN). Anyway, our STD (they really need a better acronym for that!):

( I've never been so skinny! )

Okay, it's almost 9:30 and NO ONE is here yet. What the hell??!? Stab.

In an effort to PAY ATTENTION and remember why I loved this show, I took notes!

( SPN play-by-play )

I should take notes all the time because a) it makes me pay attention and b) it makes me post. Win, win, win.

DUDES.

Tell me that didn't:
1) rock
2) make me cry
3) make me wish it was January 2010
4) make it impossible to go to bed right now
5) thank TPTB that Cuse and Lindelof know what they're doing

OH and GOKEY IS GONE.

THIS IS THE BEST NIGHT EVER!!!

So...I think I'm almost completely over TV. Please talk me back into loving my shows because I am completely NOT CARING:

I still haven't watched The Office or 30 Rock from last week yet.

HIMYM has been fine but C'MON with the advancement of the plot already. MY GOD. And there better be some kind of Barney/Robin thing happening in the next two weeks or there's going to be some problems.

Fringe was lackluster with a nice twist and a not so nice twist. Was it necessary? I just don't think so and it made me uncomfortable.

I wish I could get away from American Idol and I probably will tonight if Kris gets sent home. Dude sang "Heartless". He has totally won my heart.

I feel like I should be super excited for LOST tonight and some part of me is but I'm just kind of like meh. I hope my opinion will change once 9:00 hits and the show gets under way. I have certain issues that I need cleared up in these 2 hours and I hope they address some of them. Not all, of course - that would be a ridiculous request! - but just some. Like...WHAT LIES IN THE SHADOW OF THE STATUE or whatever. Shit like that. And they best not kill Juliet. But they will. :(

And I can't really talk about Supernatural because I am in the minority - meaning I think it's just me and MAYBE one person on TWOP - who is just not happy with the direction the show has taken and the choices Kripke has made. Whatever. If they pull it out on Thursday, I'll be very happy, but it's going to take a lot for this season to come out on the plus side for me. It's far too Buffy season 6 for me and I'm not loving it. It is my cross to bear. At least they haven't killed anyone...yet. Like that guy in my icon. Woe.

Um, I officially disliked Dollhouse and if it comes back, I will not waste my time on it. No matter how pretty Tahmoh is. I found it completely lame. This coming from the girl who watches Idol so take from that what you will...

Work is definitely going to kill me dead. I'm exhausted ALL the time...and I'm a little sick, trying to fight that off. I haven't moved into my office...because it's a disgusting mess and the desk drawers don't open, there are papers from 1970 in the filing cabinets and so on and so forth. It's stupid. I think they gave it to me so I would clean it. I want to ask if I can at least paint it but I bet he'll say no.

We saw Wolverine on Saturday night. It was...okay. It was nice to see Riggy on the big screen, though! I think that was my favorite part of the whole movie. Maybe my perpetual bad mood is just reflecting on everything and is making me Ms. Grouchy McGrouchy Pants? Eek.

Things are better. Thank you for your well wishes. Much appreciated! It's been rough but what can you do? I can't quit and so until it's better out there and I can move on, I will grin and bear it to the best of my abilities - which IS actually my best ability because I've been doing it for YEARS.

Good news is? I'm finally - after 9 years - getting my very own office! HOLLA. I look forward to being able to spread out and not trying to keep my 5 jobs in a 5x5 space. That's been fun and not at all cramped.

tlace has sucked me into dream...something... - another LJ thing that I will again feel guilty about never updating! Is this a just in case LJ gets more rules? I'm out of the loop.

I left for a while to look at house with FMiL - it's right down the street and just when I thought we should NOT buy a house, I kind of love it and it's adorable and what we're looking for. Unfortunately, not the price, but it's a nice town so...I don't know...I'm conflicted.

AI is on. Why am I still watching this? OOH SLASH!!!

Also - the Met Museum Gala thingy was last night and I love Annie Hathaway, I really do. I'm huge Hathaway champion, spending hard earned money to see crap like Bride Wars because I enjoy her and I get mocked for it. But this is the WORST THING EVER:

( cut for the horror )

( WHY IS ADAM LAMBERT SINGING ZEPPELIN??!?!?! )

That's all I have for AI. I can't - even if Kris gets me to like him more every week - I can't talk about Gokey because I hate him. Seething, fire, burning, ooky hate. It's fun.

HOWEVER, THEY ARE FUCKING SINGING RENEGADE!!!!!dpfasDFJSDFKJSF DEAD.

I just won't look at him. I just won't look at him. I just won't look at him. OOH, he sounds like SHIT! YES!!! Well, Kris doesn't sound so great, but BLECH to Gokey. AND STOP RUINING RENEGADE!!!!!!

Thank god, that's over. And, no, Simon, Danny was NOT better than Kris. Stop PANDERING TO HIS STUPID ASS. GOD.

Okay, I'm done. For real this time. Although Kris IS singing The Beatles which hmm...what COULD he be singing...Come Together. I'm into it. And NOW I'm done!

Helo is pretty, no? Aw, even when he cries.

I had to take notes because I find that I not only am falling asleep all the time but my concentration and memory are in the proverbial toilet so I thought it might help in remembering so I could discuss. 100s of pages later and lots of big sharpie pen (buy one! they're are awesome) exclamation points and yelling - BSG has come to an end and I have completely enjoyed these last 4...er, weeks.

( BSG - Daybreak )

I haven't been up this late in MONTHS. I'm going to bed.

So I'm watching the ultra bad 90210 ep in which Brandon became a "man" and after this momentous occasion happened, he thought the best music to play the morning after would be Glenn Miller's "In the Mood". Hmm. I'm not saying it isn't possible but...this is Brandon we're I'm discussing here and I find that hard to believe. I love the song, I grew up with it in my home (my grandparents loved big band and would jitterbug all over when they were younger) - maybe I'm not giving him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe Cindy and Jim are hip but again...

I fell asleep at the lunch table today. I had a migraine and so I took the new daytime meds - not the preventative stuff at night that makes carbonated beverages taste funny and makes me tingly - and one minute I was reading the awesomely dark and hilarious A Dirty Job and the next, my co-worker wakes me by asking, "Rough night?" Oops. At least my brain stopped trying to escape through my skull. There's a plus!

( Is anyone watching American Idol this year? )

( LOST... )

I officially hate 90% of my icons.

My new medicine keeps making me go numb/tingly. My feet. Fingers. Currently my entire head is numb. Ears. It feels really weird. Also, since I started taking it, all soda tastes flat and horrible to me so I no longer am drinking it.

Save the dates are on their way! Dudes, I'm getting married. Like soon. And I'll be sending stuff out to tell people about it that will make it a reality. Saying that it fills me with a fair amount of nervousness does NOT mean I don't want to marry him, it just makes it all so REAL and it all so GAAAH. I don't know. It's hard to wrap my brain around sometimes, I have to admit. So I sometimes don't. Like there are weeks when I actively ignore the entire thing and pretend it's not happening. I was in hyper-drive in the beginning and now I don't even want to think about it. That is NOT an indication of how I feel about marrying him but more my thoughts on having a wedding...which is another post for another time.

Anyway, I can't wait to show you the save the date. They're totally adorable.

Now I have to start the process of the invitations which I will be ordering from the awesome hello lucky. I don't really like their fonts but - like my icons - I'm sick of the ones I have. I look at veer all the time because woah with the gorgeous but I can't justify spending upwards of $60 or more on a font. And I've sometimes been able to find a free download to couple. So I'm here to ask for suggestions -

What are some of your favorite fonts?

But if I ever did buy a font - I'm a huge fan of:
montague
stephanie marie
tamarillo
valentina joy
bounce script
marmalade

So I didn't disappear on purpose or anything, I've been in a BSG-induced coma. I'm almost completely caught up - I have only 4x18 & 4x19 to watch and then I can enjoy the finale with all of you which I'm very much looking forward to. If my brain can handle it. It's been a lot to ingest in a short period of time - it's not exactly a fun, happy show so there's that and the technobabble and the sitting for hours and the just NEEDING to finish because OMG I HAD TO GET TO THE END or I would be a failure...yeah.

I have LOTS to say. LOTS. And I will very soon. But today is not the day. I'm on this new medicine for the migraines and I'm all kinds of wonky woo but I wanted to maybe get some kind of discussion going in comments or something. So I'm going to ask some questions/make comments and maybe we can talk that way because it's easier on my brain and my fingers :)

1. TIGH. In any form, he is my most favorite and I LURVE him. HOGAN FTW.
2. Starbuck. Discuss.
3. EJO - Awesome, sure. But sometimes chews the scenery? BUT sometimes SHOULD? MY BRAIN. HELP.
4. Mary McFRAKKINDonnell
5. HELO/Why is Tahmoh so hot? (Why couldn't Dollhouse be better so he could be on my tv all the time??!)
6. What the hell is wrong with Boomer??!?
7. Ellen - cool for one episode and then sucks all over again?
8. SAM ANDERS
9. Why couldn't they make a better fat suit for Lee?
10. Why Dualla why?!?!
11. I hate Tory.
12. What the hell is wrong with Chief?@!?!
13. I love Gaius Baltar. I don't even care. I said it.
14. Oh, Gaeta. Stupid, stupid, one-legged Gaeta.
and I need one more...um...
15. The beauty that is Laura and Bill

Talk to me! I'm so excited to have almost watched it all and I'm dying to discuss it with all of you finally :)

I twittered the hell out of it so I'm not going to really do it all over again but I will say ( these few things )

I have MANY thoughts on BSG. I only have Kobol's Last Gleaming 1&2 left. I have very much enjoyed all of it, the characters, the actors (many that I've never seen before and a couple I've never particularly liked but really won me over). I'm gathering up screencaps for a more in-depth look. Having seen "Six of One" and being intrigued by what was happening, I found it pretty great that in the first season I can see how some of things that happened in that episode were set up. I will say that I was instantly smitten by Starbuck/Apollo (is that proper or is it Kara/Lee? I don't want to upset fandom) - however, I will say that having seen them in "Six of One" probably helped that along because even watching their interaction in that episode, I was like oh, I hope they make out! So... I love, love, love Gaius and Number Six and imaginary Number Six. Words can not describe Tricia Helfer. Good God she is a whole lot of lady! But anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself. More later :)
