My GAWD, people! Would you PLEASE stop teasing the noon news (and the episodes of “Extra” and “Access Hollywood” and “Inside Edition” all coming up later today) showcasing MARTHA STEWART’S LAST DAY OF FREEDOM?!? For the love of God, people, who cares!?!? Yes, okay, SHE cares. But COME ON. Give me some news!!!!!!
I am fascinated by the trend of carving cornfields to encourage folks to vote. Hell, I’ll say it worked for me, if you’ll buy that (yeah, like anyone with a list of YES/NO for all of the local propositions wasn’t already planning to vote… duh). Check this out!

Cooool.
Last night was The Night of the Crazy Cats.
Thwok decided she wanted to sleep on my head. Now, I don’t mean the typical “my head’s on a pillow and the cat wants to sleep on the pillow too, above or beside my head.” No. I mean Thwok climed up my face (I was sleeping on my side, so she started at my mouth and climbed my nose), walked a “kitty circle” around my ear and flopped herself down ON MY HEAD.
I got up to pee and Archie followed me into the bathroom. Now, if you’ve met Archie, you know he’s not wee. He’s HUGE. So, of course, he decides to jump up on the vanity/sink area (no big deal) and then to the frame of the shower doors. Yes. He wants to stand on the top of the frame of the 1.5″-thick shower doors and perhaps leap to the in-shower window.
Predicting disaster, I quickly wiped up and “rescued” my 20-pound furball from his own instincts.
Was there a full moon last night?
Couldn’t sleep for a couple of hours and kept singing Bangles’ songs in my head. Weird. Ended up dreaming of The Brothers Greenstein, which makes me think I should send a hello to my old high school friends to see how they’re doing. Also dreamed of lots of sex with some stranger. Hm.
And woke up saying the line from “Will & Grace” after Jack gets a postcard from his mother, telling him he’s “a black boy” (his father was named something Black, but the episode is all about Jack thinking he’s African-American). “I’m a negro and my mother says ‘black boy.'” Then I start hearing Jack’s brilliant monologue about being in love with the coffee guy.
Bangles and JUST JACK. WTF?
Weird night, for dang sure.
Wonder what Martha Stewart’s up to now.
