I'm sorry MJ died. But when I tuned in to Countdown and The Rachel Maddow Show, I really wanted to learn more about the situation in Iran, upcoming health care legislation, the status of the new US energy policy bill, and whether any more Rep. politicians had been caught screwing around. Two hours of "lots of people are upset and MJ had a really screwed up life" were about 1 hour and 55 minutes too many.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

1:58 too many.
Yes, I should be asleep. Internal clock completely wonky.

“Not dead yet!”
Urgh. Had really bizarre dreams last night. Have Sudafed hangover and a fiery throat.

Our wings are not tired.
Must be bad brain day. Mine was out of sync in a most odd way. I was listening to outside sounds in time delay where first I would dream/imagine myself listening to the sound then a number of seconds later actually hear. Hard to explain but the idea of my experiences were out of sync with the actualization. Disconcerting.
Does anyone else watch Real Housewives?
I've never seen it, but I have to try and catch it. The mom of a boy staying with us asked me about it because she grew up there. Makes her crazy because of inaccuracy, but still can't help being sucked in when the hair salon is where she had her hair done for her wedding, etc.

“Not dead yet!”
I can only imagine if they ever do a Real Housewives of Miami what it'll be like. Or rather, what it won't be like. If the NJ version is big with the mob allusions/association, then the Miami version would be Latina princesses who bear absolutely no resemblance to anyone I knew growing up.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
You know this is the real one, right? And the other one has Simon and co pastede on yaye? I mean, I wish that we'd had it on our show, but, alas, no.
is sad
Although the footage of Simon's expression was awesome.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Yes - I couldn't get the Swedish version right off and, well, it's Friday ... there's a limit to how much time I'm going to spend searching YouTube for naked men (there's something profoundly wrong with that statement, but there it is). And Simon's reaction was, indeed, fun.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Just be thankful it wasn't an "like an eye" on webcam from Seans side
Oh... thanks for that image, o_a! ::facepalm::
Zenkitty, that was One the awesomest parts of Skyping in that night! Don't you dare apologize.
Really? Cool. Furthermore, may I just say, you're cuter than you think you are.
I bet all we hear about today is MJ. CNN's got a big Michael Jackson obit on its splash page. Olbermann's entire freakin' show was about Jacko last night. When I popped into Maddow, it looked the same, but I didn't stay. Come on, now. His life was amazing and sad and his death unexpected (though hardly surprising), but other, more important things are going on in the world. You couldn't even spare a minute for Farrah, who deserves better than to be overshadowed by Jacko? I bet Sanford is glad to be eclipsed, though.

I missed the MJ news because of a fussy baby. My DH told me when he got home last night at 8 p.m. The baby is now asleep, it feels like for the first time in two days, and she looks so innocent and cute.
NPR had a story about rhubarb this a.m., so I pulled some out of my freezer. The DH won't eat it, but he's crazy.
