Humans are such cruel animals.

Still standing

The Randy Travis of Doors (our V.P.) came for a visit this week. We/I thought the door was going to close on this D.D. but I'm thrilled to say it didn't. I've been in 'Panic Device' mode for a month and concerned that my job would dry up as I drove through the Texas panhandle.
I suppose it could still happen but I'm not going to worry about it. I need my beauty sleep.

Sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows

So the economy has been in the dumpster. Washington did pass a relief bill. OK. Now everything is going to be fine. I'm glad that national disaster is over and I can go back to normal and not worry about my job disappearing tomorrow.
Phew.
We're going to see Leslie Gore this weekend. Now I can cry if I want to, cry if I want to.

In the middle of the night

We live on a dead end street and the tall apartment houses nearby create a tunnel of sound. If the windows are a open a crack we can hear a lot from buildings nearby. Well the folks across the street had some guests over and were having a pretty raucous evening. Hell, it was a Fri night and people should be able to party to a point. Well as I looked at the clock and it read 2:15, I though I would get up a check things out.

WELL. The unit across the street has a full size picture window. The curtains were wide open and the glass is totally fogged up. I could see the silhouettes of people moving back and forth across the window, sometimes one, sometimes two. The whole time lights, i.e. camera, were flashing and they had 2 huge flood lights on. Based on the 'poses' it looked pretty gnarly.

I just wanted to get some sleep. So, I got the kitty's laser pointer and while sitting on the floor in the second bedroom, I flashed the red light where the fog on the window was smudged. They freaked out. The curtains were pulled. They started taking pictures again. In a space between the curtains, I flashed the light intermittently.

Within about10 minutes a big old guy and a woman ran out of the apartment.

Straight porn is so yesterday.

And time goes on

So.
We have a new President. He did good today by releasing funding for Women's health centers, around the world that have the audacity to suggest birth control or abortion. The block on lobbyist and a pay freeze for his staff is cool, too. I'm optomistic.
In the meantime three friends have lost their jobs.
I fear it every moment.

A kid named Adolf Hitler

And then the new Jersey Child Protection Services Agency had to come up w/ and excuse as to why the kids were taken from their parents. Da. The parents have to be dumb asses. Good enough excuse for me.

Slumdog Millionaire

One of my favorite movie of the year. Go see it
