The Bishop and the Butterfly: Murder, Politics, and the End of the Jazz Age

My Goodness

Gracious, me.

Seems the Obama bashing folks have taken over this place while I've not visited.  And yet they STILL cannot come up with any alternatives, nor any new thoughts.

My goodness.

But....the sports posts have been excellent. 

xoxo.

 

 

Oh the Disparity!

For some reason, tonight my mind is pondering these two different HGTV (Home and Garden TV channel, via cable) specials.

I saw both of these at some point last year.  They struck me then, and even more so now, as being the perfect illustration as to what is wrong with our country today.

CityVille Socialism - Who Knew?

Having spent the last year or so making fun of my Facebook friends for playing FarmVille and posting those annoying requests and “so-and-so found a lost cow” messages on my news feed, I have recently tried and become addicted to FarmVille's cousin, CityVille.

Maybe I'm Amazed

Maybe I'm amazed.

Or maybe I'm just a barfly who is waiting for closing time...but without the hair commercials first..LOL.

I grew up in NY and I grew up with music.  And music will always be what touches me first and what I reach out with to others.

Billy Joel, for instance, he used to touch my soul.  After years of seeing him almost get away with murder because LI loves him so much, I no longer really give a damn.

Happy Romance Day

Can't let a night like this one go by without all the fanfare, so enjoy:

They can never tear us apart!

Some Romeo and JULIE!

And, of course, alas...some Come What May...

What can I say?  I'm a sucker for romance. 

Much love to you all.

I Think I'm In Love...

I guess I'm a “shipper”. Before tonight, I didn't even know such a term existed. I needed clarification after being told that I, myself, am one. Apparently, I'm one of those who watches a television series hoping that the two main characters will evolve into a relationship. Sort of like a new age Dolly Levi. I watch House MD and can't wait for him to jump into bed with Cuddy after only, um, six seasons.

twenty second century fox

sanity check's in the mail

my alter ego is jailed

and the fun house is closed

hey should I pierce my nose

 

bruised my ego and neck

I'm strolling Titanic's deck

waiting for the collapse

how much time will elapse

 

if the time is now

will my bus be late

if you show me how

could I learn how to hate

 

my mind is twisted but slow

my body's ready to go

and least it was back then

will you still be my friend

 

wait, do I even know you

are you on Facebook

New Year's Eve Party

Planning on sitting home next Friday?  Want to party but don't want to drive? 

Look no further....come to the Once Upon chat room and ring in the New Year from the safety of your own living room, while having a virual party complete with music and laughter and friendship galore.

Congratulations, Destor

It's just come to my attention that the Dag Blog masthead now has a new addition.  I can't think of a better one.

Destor covers the economy and politics like no one's business,  has a great sense of humor and an approach to blogging (and commenting) that I've truly come to love.  I think we've all come to love him....even though he likes to smash folding chairs over unsuspecting victims' heads while showing off his orange-tanned pecs.

Destor -- congratulations.  A well-deserved spotlight is now upon you.  I know you'll wear it well.
