In anticipation of my week on the lake, I'm getting some MJ, J5, and Simon and Garfunkel tonight. And also some Cat Stevens.
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
A professor just complimented me on my lunchbox. Not the food, the box.
Then he asked me why I haven't graduated yet.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
There could be a fight to the death (well, to the silent treatment) between rival yoga studios, drama over elections to the Weaver Street Market Co-op board, and a 15-minute-per-episode discussion of the feminist issues surrounding the term "housewives."
This could also be Real Housewives of Marin County. Bless that wacky little enclave.
I am indifferent on the MJ news. He's just been so far gone for so long, you know? And I know he had a mega-shitty upbringing, and he was irrevocably scarred by a lot of things, but that does not excuse any shenanigans with underagers on his part.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
And also some Cat Stevens
Did you get the new one?

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Damn it. Crying again seeing sweet baby MJ fronting the Jackson 5. Maybe I need to turn off the TV.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Juliana speaks for me. I feel sad for what he went through AND sad for what he put others through and they kind of cancel each other out.

I know I am a rarity in this, but I never believed he molested children. I always felt the bulk of the Michael Horror was directed at his oddness rather than the actual allegations -- and now its peculiar to see mass public declaration of "he was unique and brilliant" when it was "he is a horrifying freak" for so many years.

“Not dead yet!”
I don't know whether he did anything to those kids or not. I suspect he may have. But my greatest ire with respect to that part of his sad life goes to the parents of those kids. Especially the ones who let their kids stay at Neverland after the first allegations came out. I mean, yeah, he was Michael Jackson, but he was also most assuredly not of this world-- as a cynic, I have to think those parents were either looking for some sort of fame by association or simply looking to cash in.

I actually don't think he did anything sexually with kids, but there need not be sex for there to be weirdness and shenanigans.

Our wings are not tired.

Granted I didn't follow all the allegations all that closely, but the reports I did see lacked credibility. Don't know. I hope not.
