Angela and Cathy wanted me to do this day-book thing Larry invented. (I know!) Normally I wouldn't do a meme or anything like this, but since they asked, I will do it, just because I'm so darn nice. Larry, I'm not trying to steal votes from you, because your Y-chromosomal post was very funny and can't be topped.

For Today: Thursday, April 30, 2009
.
Outside My Window... Cloudy. Really cloudy and misty - I believe it is a light drizzle.
.
I am thinking about... hmmmmmm….. Janet Reno.
.
I am thankful for… Foxes, and rabbits, and gophers and pigs and dogs and kitties.
.
From the kitchen... Nothing - I get nothing - I'm single. Actually I never eat before 3PM - it's a desert fathers thing. Speaking of - my dad would love this - whenever I called him, he told me in detail what he was doing, what he ate, what he was thinking, just like this meme datebook thing here. "Yeah hon, I just ate some fried chicken and made a little gravy for some mashed potatoes - those instant ones ya know - and I just had a little salad like your mom used to make with some french dressing - not the spicy type, and some milk, I was just gonna do dishes when you called."
.
I am wearing... Larry said, "jeans, sweatshirt, socks, boxer briefs…" Me too! (I also have a t-shirt and a scapular on underneath.)
.
I am creating... A lot of trouble. Lots and lots. But not deliberately - really - I say things and write things and paint things, and for some reason people get all pissed off. I'm also painting a picture of Mrs. Rabitowitz before I kill her.
.
I am reading... Pope Benedict's Jesus of Nazareth - again. Actually that is my new project that will never end. Otherwise - well - now days, for the last few years actually - I rarely read anything cover to cover - I think I have ADD. I have a dozen or more books at my feet that I pick up and read here and there - but I don't want to list them all for fear of intimidating my readers by my scholarship. (Keep laughing Cath!) Do you know I have never read anything by Ann rice? I started one novel and threw it out. I think the stuff she and Stephen King write are stupid - their crap may work occasionally for a film, but otherwise... Anyway - I don't like their stuff.
.
I am hoping... That I can get it together before I die.
.
Around the house... Larry said, "pfft! I’m a guy! Since when does a guy notice anything around the house?" True. Like I said, I'm single - so I just ignore the mess and change clothes when they wear out.
.
I am thinking about.... Still Janet Reno. But then I began to wonder about... never mind.
.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: I'll probably call Janet and see if she wants to do something. Otherwise - I don't have any plans - it's that ADD thing - I'd move on to something else as soon as I made them.
.
That's about it I guess. I know - it is not as good as Larry's - but that's alright.
1. There will be hell to pay if you kill Mrs. Rabitowitz.
ReplyDelete2. You spent a great deal of effort blacking around Columbo.
I won't really kill her - she just had kids. That is just sort of a Jewish thing to say - like "I'm sticking my head in the oven if you kids don't behave."
ReplyDeleteI found Cloumbo like that. Cool huh?
Same reaction on Mrs. Rabitowitz...no harm to her please.
ReplyDeleteAttempted to read Jesus of Nazareth, and it was too difficult to get into. I liked nearly everything else he had previously written.
Ann Rice - I just read the memoir of her conversion to Christianity. I was killing time while having my car worked on a few weeks ago, and walked into a Border's Books. I picked her book up and read most of it in two hours. It was disapointing. She isn't able to articulate why she became a Catholic-Christian. Perhaps many people can't, but somehow I expected to read something convincing, or at least juicy - after all of her previous efforts.
Ter: Actually, I did not laugh about your scholarship but I did laugh when you said you were going to kill Mrs. Rabitowitz.
ReplyDeleteI'm sad that your Father did not also tell you about the last time he had a bowel movement. Seriously, my family of the perpetually constipated always shares that piece of critical information. I feel you've really missed out.
Janet Reno? Why are you thinking about her? Hope she's not busy and can go out with you this weekend.
ReplyDeleteVery amusing post :)
Cute answers, but maybe you should just paint Janet Reno!
ReplyDeleteI think my copy of Jesus of Nazareth is going to go the way of the Summa: to a friend. I don't have a sustained quiet that seems necessary for that, here. Or maybe I'm thick.
Bravo!!
ReplyDeleteI forgot to add I wear a scapular too.
Because you mentioned Janet Reno, it's gonna be hard to get back to thinking of Ellen Ripley vs. Sarah Connor in a cage match...or maybe as a tag-team vs. Janet Reno. yeah, I like that one better.
And you're getting my vote.
Thanks - how about the two Janets? Reno and Napolitano?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ter. I loved it!
ReplyDeleteFunny post!
ReplyDeleteWhen Janet sent Elian back to Cuba I found the address of her apartment in DC and sent a letter to her, there, to complain.
What was I thinking? My name must be in some file, somewhere.
Conspiracy Theory....
SF - Good for you - I wish she would have replied. Yeah - you are most likely on some rightwing conspiracy list.
ReplyDeleteA portrait of both Janets would make adults cry. I'm afraid to go to sleep now.
