thank you for being awesome.

i’m so sorry! i’ve been spending a lot of time in the studio– which is great– but it disrupts to normal flow of the week!!

a video WILL be coming… just not today… and probably not tomorrow.

thank you all for being so understanding and supportive and completely entertaining in last week’s blog. i haven’t been able to read ALL the comments yet, but it’s pretty awesome from what i can tell. i’ve said it before– but it’s things like that that makes me wish we could have a big blog gathering and play. :)

someday.

for now, goodnight!!

    @g3mini:

    thanks for the recipe!! we will definitely use it. I also see recipes for a savory Mexican variety (empanada style). We also love Caribbean pumpkin soup, but make sure the recipe is authentic b/c people have switched ingredients and passed the recipe along. (i.e. using jalapenos when it should be Scotch bonnets)

    @All Kination Friends (and foes alike) - Have a very Happy Thanksgiving!! Can’t wait to chat when we get back!!

    Here´s also something funny to House fans… For me, Hugh Laurie has always been a comedian… this is his own song:

    bwahahahaha - thanks so much for that tidbit
    btw, he’s a great musician. did you catch the ep w/ Dave Matthews??

    I think “House” is a superb comedy (classically, it is such) But my wife just stares at me when I am cracking up watching it. Americans aren’t so used to deadpan, dry British humor (unless it’s someone slapping someone else with a fish a la MPFC). It’s the layers of comic nuance that kills me!! Aahh but I could go on all day. . . but I’ll miss the chance to leave for the road trip b4 I-95 fills up with cars. Happy Happy!!!

    @Mama G, Dr G - we are so thankful for you and the way you hold your family together in love, grace and dignity with a heavy pinch of humor.

    @Misa - thanks so much for your abiding dedication to providing a place for friendship (and awkward silliness) for all the Kina Fans

    @Emi - we know you’re here somewhere - <3 to you!

    @Kina - love, love, love to you . . . you are simply beautiful in every sense of the word

    So, now we’re entertained, how about fishing out a working copy of my playlist I surrendered and said to make sure you change the name promptish, as I can top this 1 up forever and have the same result as you when you come to play it/part of it = losing my head like I’m 1 of Henry VIII’s wives, so I’m the one caught out by this jape really = gr8r than tragically funny all round comedy wind up/farce - eh?

    I take it that you are jesting nub, so in jest, and, I will not go beyond this non turning on of said dro current:Pd:-

    I’ll give you that’n
    with out la contention
    but
    I’m a div chewing fat ‘n’
    giving doubt to blahg nation
    duh

    Note, above is just a joke, no attempt has been made to flo(w) like dro - now or at any other time, could soO be a master disaster:))

    Anyvays darhling, (read as Gabore said it and keep other thoughts for your own amusement) didn’t you know that doing that is his jewel of a gem that he has replaced his own feeling of not being able to soar the way he’d like to within a singing format, and dro/anyone else, I’m not having a go at anyone, so keep the peace (OK!

    NB newbie ‘la’ is pronounced lah and is used like in ‘Hey - la!’ by which is meant, ‘Hey - male type species thing within earshot!’

    Sheesh, covering explanation diplomacy is tougher than having a barnie, no wonder peace keepers get caught up and drawn into doing the fighting!

    well, i hope everyone has an AWESOME thanksgiving!
    i’m thankful for all of you - my new found friends…

    Thankful for the Grannis Family ’cause without them there would be no Kina & Misa & Emi. Without Misa, Kina & Emi, there’d be no music. Without music, there’d be no blog. Without the blog, there’d be no site. Without the site, there’d be no new friends… You get my point!

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU ALL!

    Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!
    See you on the flip side….

    Wait… should that have been “to all those to whom this applies?”
    (I’m suffering from grammatical paranoia…well, you know what I mean!)

    TimR says:

    @Mama G: I think the first one sounds right, but including the word “all” makes it sound not so correct, even though it probably is. But the sentiment is still welcomed. Happy Thanksgiving everyone (to whom it applies, of course)!

    @confused newbie:

    I’m not so sure that any one as stiff as that set of Gabore sisters could technically be proven to be alive, well, at least on any kind of a stage;) but, maybe someone like wwar1ace the redbarron or HerManMunster could elaborate. They may have been the equivalent of our G gals for those days:? I know, go check it out with Grandpa Simpson, he can remember back to 19dickitytwo - try not to shock him if he’s asleep, the result could be dea/th/fening and you having to pass back his dentures!

    Have you noticed the lovely name above yours, you should be giving her a nudge, hello, whilst she’s reaching out to you/others and even lizzyvaz who’s luvn all here, as I think roughtythuff7 is awayskis now and I’m about 2B so what are you waiting for, Xmas/Nyear wall proping ceremony or your next blahg?

    Hey Kina! I’ve been watching your weekly blogs for a while, and thought I should just register so that i can leave a comment =P I sent you an email about while ago, telling you how talented you are =) Anyway, don’t stress about blogs! Record! People understand.

    Meadow says:

    Its OK Kina, we can all (somehow ;p) survive without a song from you. I guess this is kind of like weaning us off since you probably won’t be able to do posts like this after you CD is out, which is sad. Or maybe youll be able to shoot blogs and have (pay) other people edit and upload the vids for you *crosses fingers* heheh. Anyways, don’t feel bad, and Have a Lovely Turkeylicious Thanksgiving.

    confused newbie says:

    @mama g

    as kina’s mom, please tell her to forget about posting videos every monday for now. honestly, she looks tired and i think she should just concentrate on the cd and the marathon. that’s more than enough to keep anyone busy. personally, i think we can go a few months without a video while we are all enjoying each other’s company here. i am really serious. i know sometimes i joke around but this time i am serious. umm, i kinda feel bad that she feels obligated to do the video every monday but really, she isn’t obligated to. i know deep down she wants to for us but her health is way more important. i know personally that i would feel better knowing she is getting enough sleep and staying healthy than having a video to watch every monday and seeing that tired smile.

    thanks. good night.

    @Alexpham:

    I remain a tad greedy over this, so it may come as no surprise to read that my answer is always:

    T H E N E X T O N E

  40. 140

    I’m flumixed now, still blurry eyed, but didn’t miss seeing that Kina’s put a video up again whilst I slept (I don’t know how she’s managing to do that as often as she does when I get so little sleep = teased again!) but you could be right, my spelling of it goes along with a notion that is perhaps wrongfully held of them though. That answer wasn’t so diplomatic was it, but hey nobody is perfect!
