It Should Be An Offical Summer Celebration

It's that time of year again folks! Ya that's right, it's Shark Week! (One of my favorite weeks of the year!) This year hosted by Andy Samberg; should be interesting. Craig Ferguson was very humorous last year and I hope Andy can keep it fun as well.

There is just something about sharks that I have always loved, even when I was little. I mean they're big, fast, scary-looking and yet beautiful and graceful in their movements. Apparently many others have found themselves entranced by these fascinating creatures as well because we have the annual shark documentary extravaganza known as the infamous Shark Week. Let the fun begin. 

You Know What It's Time For?

Another rousing game of 'commenting on CNN headlines' because headlines are usually the most misleading and fun part of the news and there are some good ones today folks. Enjoy.

26 AK-74 assault rifles stolen from Army post - Wow. Good to know you guys are at the top of your game. 

Chappelle sorry for not being funny - Thank you for apologizing.
Are the Smurfs crypto-fascists? - Yes. Yes they are.
Why Americans once loved France - I still like you as a friend France! It's just I don't want to get into anything serious right now! You understand right?
It's time for the 'Cut the Crap Act' (under 'Politics') - I couldn't agree more.
Hustler offers Casey Anthony $500K - Lovely. Just lovely.
Are Internet Explorer users dumb? - Maybe not dumb. Just ignorant?
Scooby-Doo meets the Kama Sutra - Okaaaaaay.
Apple has more cash than Treasury - Well in all fairness, Apple has had a much better year then the government has.

Apparently Congress is close to making a deal? Cutting it pretty close aren't we guys?
Seniors: We need our Social Security! - And you really don't want to take a piss on them. They're the only ones who vote anymore.

Lucy, I'm Home!

Finally feeling much better and ready to blog again. Ok. Go.

So, Amy Winehouse, huh. It's awful, but I can't say I was surprised. It really is a shame though. I liked her music and it's always good to see addicts get their life together but unfortunately she will forever live on in the 27 club - the club you do not want to become a member of!

P.S. - As for questions that maybe the Grammys shouldn't have honored Rehab, you can go suck it. The Grammys were created to honor great music, not promote social responsibility.

The 93 people dead in Norway! I mean Norway of all places....
An absolute tragedy. I can't even begin to write how saddening that is to hear.

Congress possibly raising the debt ceiling by August 2?
Oh lovely. One poster on Facebook (a friend of a friend)'s response- "If my house was filling to the roof with feces because the toilet was overflowing nonstop...raising the ceiling would not solve my problem."
That pretty much sums it up nicely.

And lastly, for the evening anyways, I am sickened by the devaluing of History as a subject in American schools. History is my favorite subject and an important part of the foundation of every student's knowledge base. Not to mention the famous quote, "Those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it." But because History is not tested under the No Child Left Behind Act it is given less importance and it's bull crap!

I lied, very lastly, I take my constant cursing of the nail gods for I have given myself a manicure (Cotton Candy Pink from Avon) and it has been 3 hours and not a single chip. I am quite amazed. Ya that's right; I can talk about world news and my nails in the same post. Deal with it. 

Now I must recharge my batteries.

I Assert It Was Illness

Had something flu-like for 4 days now and I'm still not a 100%.

So much bull crap has taken up residence in my life this past week; it's ridiculous! I believe my sickness may be a physical manifestation of my complete and total weariness of all things outside my bedroom walls.

People just confuse the hell out of me...

I'll talk about Amy Winehouse and Norway when I feel better.

For now, enjoy this: a picture of my friend and Henry Winkler

I'm so jealous! I mean, come on! It's THE FONZ!

The Hour is Upon Us

Unfortunately, I will not be participating in the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 premiere at midnight tonight. Instead, I'm finishing reading the last part of the last book (I know, but time got away from me for like 3 years) and it definitely brought me back - serious nostalgia. No matter how much I change, the world of Hogwarts is timeless in my mind. It's been years since I've read one of the books, but it's like I never left.   

P.S. - I own nothing! 

Damn straight.

Yay! Zumba!

So, my friend Sofie invited me to a Zumba class down at our local wellness center. I never realized how out of shape I was, although I guess I should have figured that one out since the most exercise I normally get is the walk between my bedroom and the kitchen.

Anyways, Zumba - "Latin dancing in an aerobic workout kinda way" - kicked my butt! My knees and ankles are screaming at me!

P.S. - So, CBS, Ted Danson is going to be starring in CSI...add Steven Weber to the cast and I'll start watching it again

Well, Ain't That Somethin'?

It's amazing how all the music I used to listen has a totally different meaning now.

Tonight, while reliving my youth and listening to Aaron Carter's 'Cowgirl (don't judge me),' instead of singing 'Yipee-ki-yo-yippe-yay! Lil Momma,' I find myself singing something more along the lines of 'Yipee-ki-yo-yippe-yay! Motherfucker.' 

So now I really want to watch Die Hard...

P.S. - Thank you Bruce Willis.

That's What You Get When You Live in the Boonies

So I decided to clean out the atrocious mess that is my closet. Through the years I have found out that there is a major downside to having a walk-in closet (at least for me) - I feel a compulsive need to fill it with crap. Seriously, it’s like hoarder-like material in here.

I decided that I would sort out my crumpled clothes, from the closet floor, in my bedroom. Unfortunately, my room now looks like the Salvation Army.

But that wasn’t the worst part, oh no. Sorry Mr. Millipede, you were surprisingly hard to kill, but I do not wish to have creatures with that many legs inhabiting the same space that I sleep in of a night. I can take the spiders, millipedes, scorpions, and all the variety of insects the South has to offer, but if I find one rat (at least up here - the basement seems to be a nice home for rats when our cats aren’t fast enough) or a snake in here, I’m moving out!
