The voters have spoken and they have said they do not support gay marriage. I must say, I am shocked. I did not realize I was so far out of touch with the rest of the country. Personally, I don’t think we have the right to infringe upon the freedoms of any one group of people. Whether you think being gay is a choice, or whether you think people are gay for b
I am not particularly articulate, and I don’t necessarily have the necessary wit to truly express my expressions. See what I mean? I would, however, in my own fumbling way, and with too many commas, like to point out the obvious. I just watched the most recent episode the “The West Wing” entitled “The Birnham Wood” (a day behind, as usual). In this e
I'll grant you, I knew "Dr. Seuss' the Cat in the Hat" was going to be bad going in. However, it was free on HBO and we had nothing else to do so we watched it. Why we watched the whole thing I'll never know, but I think I can now officially classify it as the Worst Movie Ever. Previously, "Battlefield Earth" held that title. The main problems were t
Today I both joined a gym and a tanning salon. Paul and I are going to Cancun for 8 whole days over Thanksgiving, so I wanted to be tan for the trip. It feels weird, because I am usually opposed to tanning in general. However, I'm usually opposed to wearing bathing suits as well, but since I will be wearing one 24-7 in Cancun I was hoping to offset some of my flabbine
Ahh, my lack of social awareness hinders me again! I'm afraid I don't keep up with the music scene since, oh, well...since I was born. You make some really insightful points in your reply. I agree, you can rarely let people know how you are really feeling. Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone, eh? Friends will often tell you that you'll feel better when yo
I don't know if you actually want any comments here, but I find that your article has the startling ring of familiarity to me. Oh yes, I know all about wasted years and time spent worrying about the consequential and inconsequential. I know all about the black hole that yawns open at your feet at sometimes unexpected moments. I know how happy moments are tainted with the knowledge that soon you will fall down the well again. I posted a nothing sort of
Just imagine the investment if you ever move out of LA! You can sell your million dollar piece of junk in a few years and buy a palace elsewhere if you ever decide to move. What, no comments on my lying, lying ways? Hmm...perhaps it just isn't important to others...revolutionary concept...
Uh...hmmm. It would appear that our house has now closed, and except for some minor details that albatross is no longer around my neck. Hmm. Not sure how to feel about this. Why hasn't the President of the USA gotten on TV to make an announcement? Why hasn't a national holiday been declared? Why haven't they called for 24 hours of peace in the middle east to commemora
It was a trek! But a nice day, nonetheless. We'll all go next year for sure!

Screw the American way, I'd just like to apply an appropriate amount of brick to a few of the thicker skulls in our midst!
A dullard - that is EXACTLY how I feel reading Miller. I thought I'd feel all "oooh, I'm a bad girl", but really I felt he had a good eye for seeing the world, and a rapier wit to boot. Only read Tropic Of Cancer, though. Should really read more.
I believe that today more than ever a book should be sought after even if it has only one great page in it: we must search for fragments, splinters, toenails, anything that has ore in it, anything that is capable of resuscitating the body and soul. It may be that we are doomed, that there is no hope for us, any of us, but if that is so then let us set up a last agoniz
I have spent the afternoon lying in bed and reading a good book. It has been a long time since I’ve had the opportunity or the desire to do that, and I forgot how fantastic it feels to finish a very good book, especially when you have no other duties that HAVE to be done just then. It seems like my problems are a little more reasonable, when pitted against some hero f
Ok, I'm going to relent just a little from my last blog. It seems like I write nothing but negative stuff these days. I'm relenting in that, while I still hate Michigan, I think I can find some humor in life. Heres a funny website for your enjoyment. Be sure to check out the "e-mails" section. Link <!-- Ju-
You deserve it, man. I may not say much but I'm keeping up with you! Besides, how could I not share a giant Cthulu statue with the world?
However, I am not to be deterred. Here is what I have recently learned: If you have $4,000 you can buy a giant Cthulu statue for your garden. Or bedroom, or place of worship whatever. Here is the link: Link Thsi was brought to my attention by good friend and blogger Sean at Strange Ink <a
Wow, I had no idea anyone looked at my blog. Guess I shouldn't be so negative...
Just so you all know, I am holding it together. Just barely, but I am. ;-)
Angloesque: I hear you. I was a bridesmaid for a "friend" who actually referred to me as someone she'd "hired" because she thought I was a good worker. She also was a total bitch while she was planning the wedding. Needless to say I'm not so fond of her anymore (although there are other reasons as well). So sad. JQ: I'm glad your sisters wedding was what it was. I have edited other wedding that are clearly happy joyous occasions with no bitchi
JB I find your comments to be insightful. KH
At the moment I make my living by editing wedding videos. The weddings are usually of the 50 - 100 K varieties. Yes, that is exactly what I mean, someone - many someones - are spending $50 to $100 thousand on their weddings. In any event, I am working on a wedding this week and the bride - fresh from her honeymoon in Tahiti, or Rome, or the Moon for all I
Just found out from the Mormegil that the appraisal on our house still has not been turned in. And our agent went on vacation without even calling us. I have never been so mad and had so little recourse before. Can't even yell at our agent. Mormegil did call and yell at his boss, though. Now the boss is involved - although I'm sure he knew all about it. Oh m
In the last episode of "Trying To Sell Our Home", the appraisal had been done and we were merely waiting for the paperwork to go through. Our Real Estate agent told us that we would close today at the earliest, next Wednesday at the latest. Paul called two days ago for an update (as I mentioned, we have to call him. He rarely calls us.). Upon calling him Pau
I have an undergraduate degree in mass-media communications, and a graduate degree in cinema-television and I can assure you there are no news sources that are either fair or balanced. Forewarned is forearmed.
