Oh jeez I don’t know but I know she’s not quite ready for Vegas yet.
Okay, but what about Branson?
Are you buying a new car? What are you up to? Why don’t you look up Mox Ie? She lives out there.
How’s stuff?
She hasn’t done the Disney animated film schtick either with the soundtrack thinger like Elton and that Phil Collins person. Also she hasn’t done the workout video thing. Or do like that Beatle person and do a children’s tv show. And merciful God she hasn’t joined The View.
I didn’t know that Fergie was a Beatles person. She can’t join The View because she talks British.
Oh. I’ve been bored mostly lately. Probably will just have to get a new job just cause of that. But the car… I really wanted the Volvo C30 cause it’s the only one I really liked but 19 mpg sounds like being part of the problem these days, so I’ve decided to not think about it for awhile. Meanwhile I’m slowly doing my new computer thing, and since the job gives me the time to deal with building it and then migrating everything over I doubt I’ll do any lifechangey stuff until that’s done. I had to go to a librarian conference today. Very liberal sort of thing… saw all sorts of those liberal children’s books that used to have some shock value but really don’t anymore. The one interesting thing was that “green” themes weren’t particularly dominant. That kind of surprised me. Also there was a kind of icky group of atheists with atheist-wear walking around to no real purpose. What’s kind of cool is it’s a very swaggy conference so I got some cool stuff. So far I’m really loving this “young readers” or whatever book called “The Hunger Games” this lady at the Scholastic booth gave me. It’s Battle Royale for kids, and well-written so far besides. The thing though is bless their hearts these librarians they aren’t really easy on the eyes.
I’m drawing a blank on Mox Ie for some reason.
“I’m stalled, Hareton.”
– Madonna was a brunette skank way back a gazillion years ago when she bared it all for Penthouse, Pre-Hollywood makeover, and the subsequent 47 re-inventions of herself, and shes still a skank. Woman’s been on more mattresses than the Sealy logo, and she usually hires her biggest crowds there.
– Cher did pretty much the same thing, sans the posing bit, but at least after she got rid of the schnoze she made some decent TV specials and movies.
Exactly. Ennui. Not an I’m so ready for fight club or anything ennui, just the normal kind. Summer makes it worse cause there’s something about summer in Southern California that’s just kind of redundant.
Well, you’re welcome out here, if you like. Jet Blue, I suppose. Or do you think that JD will actually get people together down in TX this summer?
– Hey feets. Look at the bright side. Today was about as close to perfect as it gets on planet earth, plus all the fires are way up there away from us. So there is that. Plus I just got back from filling up in Roserita at 2.37 a gallon, so I’m good to go for the next two weeks or so. Spent some of the money saved treating the kiddo to Home town buffet.
Oh. I’m stuck not traveling I think for at least this summer until I get some people here squared away. One wants to borrow a credit card for a new transmission and the other is having rent issues. That was another thing that came up this week. People I know are hardcore into a creepy recession mindset. I don’t think you can really do anything but sort of hold their hands until they work through it. It’s the media to where they get confused that normal lifestyle compromisey things are a sign of macroeconomic collapse and not just what you do so you don’t have to freak out when your transmission goes out or the temp agency doesn’t call for a week.
BBH – ok, you’re right and at least it wasn’t ungodly hot again. I’ve been away from south Texas long enough that I get kind of grumpy when we get over 100 here.
But still I hope there can be a meet-up at some point, and if it came together I might just figure out a way to make that happen.
That’s really kind of you, hf, to help those folks out.
They are very very old friends at this point I think, so it’s different than kindness. You know what else came up this week? The dark side of gay marriage. One guy is handling a breakup of a really very short-term relationship way more intensely than is really normal and I asked him point blank if the marriage in the news thing was part of the deal and he said “maybe” in that sheepish way that means yes. And then a friend’s boss is very upset that his partner of forever won’t marry him when it comes down to it… turns out he’s more interested in protecting his own assets and then the eventual ridiculously large inheritance than he is about boldly claiming his civil rights and all.
Hah, I say.
Aw, that’s pretty sad. Wouldn’t a pre-nup help?
Oh. Different than kindness cause I reserve the right to give them shit about their poor decision-making skills.
That’s a good question about the pre-nup. It didn’t come up. Pre-nups are kind of sad though on their face though I think. Not that there’s not a place for them.
Anyway the point is that the gay marriage thing has caused very real gay pain and I get to say I told you so – not to you but generally I mean – even if I’m too lazy to go back and find all the links.
I agree with that, the sad prima facie.
Sure the gay marriage thing has caused pain. It’s like women learning that they might have to pay alimony.
Similar, but the first example… the angst of oh god I’m thirty and I’m not in a longterm relationship and I’m never going to get married – that’s a new and different form of self-inflicted masochism I think. And not a little ridiculous.
– Well feets, you know, its like that sometimes in life. You do everything right with some really intense life thing, go through all the drama and sweat, and lost sleep and missed meals, and money blown, running around, lots of meetings, heavy decisions, time crunches, missed moments, confusion, and then suddenly things happne, people mostly happen, and it all of a suddenly is just, you’re going “oh well, guess thats over”, and like you’d snap your fingers it is completely unimportant in a matter of a moment or two, and everyone else is just sort of nothing, and back to business as usual. I think of them as “earthlessquakes”. All a long long quake, with no earth.
True. I’m always arch toward my fag friends who indulge their propensity for drama.
If I had a biological clock, can you imagine how loud it would be ticking?!
Anyway, I’ve got to hit the sack. Night, guys.
Exactly, BBH and Dan both. Senseless drama was a lot the motif of this week.
Hah. Good night.
– Laters Dan, feets.
is Madonna losing her appeal?
She had appeal?
is Madonna losing her appeal?
She had appeal?
Yeah, go figure. I saw her naked in Penthouse. I wasn’t impressed. I liked one of her songs, otherwise, I wasn’t impressed. I saw a couple of her movies, and I wasn’t impressed. But she’s got $500 million dollars, which is quite impressive.
haters. That woman projects an image of what being an American is about that is to this day incredibly seductive to people around the world. Probably more than anyone in her industry ever. Put her on a goddamn postage stamp already I say.
Put her on a postage stamp naked, then I’ll be impressed♥♥♥♥♥!
Madge certainly has had some colorful experiences. Dennis Rodman was one of her paramores, if memory serves. It doesn’t get much weirder than Rodman.
He sure could rebound, though.
Madonna? Appeal?
Although my personsal research has yielded certain amazing facts about twomen with buck teeth, I find nothing appealing about having to wear body armor to deal with a northern Italian princess with an attitude.
Appeal? What, did she lose a court case?

It’s America, damnit! Anybody with no talent and a lot of hype can be famous. Just look at “The Love Boat” or Bay Watch”. fer chrisakes.
