Memorial Day Cleaning.

i.e., no traveling for the weekend. Instead it's a very much more emotional trip down Memory Lane. I've found things I thought I'd thrown away, things I'd forgotten I owned, things that don't belong to me. Same for the BF. It's been an odd experience how these things can stir emotions and memories you'd forgotten that you had. It's quite bittersweet. The nice thing is that our guests will be able to use their closet from now on.

No Question About It.

So clearly I was mixed up about when Sex and the City was coming out and there was no need to choose between it and Indiana Jones. So, yeah, we saw the latest installment in which the torch is passed to Shia LeBeouf, the next Indy. Ho hum. Clearly, a movie made for people who have children and watch America's Funniest Home Videos, especially the crotch shots. Yawn.

David COOK won?

I thought for sure that it was going to be Archuletta.

Decisions, decisions.

So, Friday. What's it gonna be?

Life's much better

since I found KCRW's link among the radio listings on iTunes, perhaps the world's most perfect radio station. KCRW is a listener supported radio station that's unlike most public stations. They do the NPR news, always good, and their mix of music is amazing. KCRW introduced me to Lily Allen and West Indian Girl, among others. Check them out!

I should add that my opinion is somewhat biased. KCRW broadcasts out of Santa Monica so I associate them with driving around Los Angeles. Whenever I've driven with my family down to Disneyland I've searched out KCRW the minute that we've gotten over Grapevine, the pass over the mountains separating the central valley from the LA area. Or when I've been in San Diego I've locked KCRW into the rental before I drive off the lot. I always associate KCRW with the freedom of being behind the wheel, driving to someplace I truly enjoy like Disney, the beach, Rubio's, or Pannikin. It's hard not to like a station under those circumstances.

Overheard in the Seniors' hallway...

She got chlamydia so many times, they call her "Applause!"

oucha-mcgoucha!

Who said you won?

Her speech this evening just underscored my discomfort with her. She opened her speech saying that Obama had made a prediction, that she would probably win Pennsylvania, he would win North Carolina, and Indiana would be the tie breaker. Then she said, "We've come from behind, broken the tie, and now it's full speed ahead to the White House!" As of the moment she made the speech, Indiana was still too close to call. I'm annoyed that she would claim victory before she has it. However, it could be brilliant. Either way, she's all in. Do or die. Balls to the wall. She's kind of scary.

Well, next month it's off to Puerto Rico. I actually hope that the contest continues until then, just to see what happens.

What not to do when speaking in the House

Watch as the honorable representative from Oregon morphs into the super-dork! Now, I totally get the reference (obviously) but would I introduce such an analogy in Congress? I think not!

I just can't believe he didn't have something in there about "Klingon honor," and finish it with "qapla'!"

Have I become that homo?

I'm enjoying Madonna's new album, Hard Candy, and I'm sure that the twenty-something homo-babies think that I'm just a tired, old queen. Ho hum. Still, she's got a good sense of humor.

Thank God for my students...

Otherwise I might miss out on some of the best of the web...

Been Busy...

Much to do and little mental energy. Sorry.
