Mily Sirius, I just don't get it. I don't mean the fact that I don't get
her music, I'm not supposed too. I'm too old and too male. I don't get
the controversy over this picture. This especially compared to the other
pictures and videos they showed on the news to compare it with. There is
a picture of her laying all over her father which is extremely gross and
they showed a picture of her on stage dressed like a whore. You can
dress like a whore or you can take a picture where you look much too
intimate with your father but you can't show a little skin which happens
to be your back.
I just did a Mily Sirius entry. Shoot me now. Stay tuned tomorrow for a
complete editorial on The Bratz and Barbie and why you should hate
them.
This is the room I grew up in. It didn't have a door at the time, the
walls were brown knotty pine and there was red and black carpet on the
floor. Looks like it's a den now. My mom said it was for sale again so I
looked it up. My folks bought it for $15,000, sold it in 1987 for
$63,000 and it's for sale now for $250,000. It' been seriously remodeled
and it's more beautiful than ever. The things I used to do in that room.
I was a freak kid.
We're going to see the
True Colors
Tour next month. I'm just freaking excited. I truly love Cyndi
Lauper and The B-52's. You can see that by my much out dated
about me page. How will I make it
until then?
And, this evening, as I was driving, everything seemed different. I
drove the neighborhood, it was the same, yet different. I don't know if
it's because everything has turned green in the last week with all the
rain or what. It's just different.
And even with the new revelation that I have old woman hands,
specifically my moms, I got carded going into a bar Saturday night.
The colors are amongst us. The greens, purples, reds, yellows...all just
like that it seems as I sit on the back porch taking it all in as I type
these words. I did have the music playing but it seemed wrong so instead
I listen to the wind which seems pretty brisk on this sunny warm day.
Watching the
lilac
bushes with their giant purple blossoms blow around, the bird with the
bright orange bill eating off the bird feeder, and the wind chimes
making a distant sounding chime but being right above my head. What a
great day to be off, but then again, any day is a great day to be off.
I had my first Heath Bar Blizzard in years as we came upon an old school
Dairy Queen in the town of Ghent today. It was quite superb.
We also came upon a sculpture park literally out in the middle of
nowhere in The Taconic Mountains down a mile long dirt road. A guy name
Roy Kanwit has created quite a few sculptures over the years on his
property, the largest being a 19 foot tall head made with a steel frame
and concrete completely accessible from the inside. My favorite is the
one above, I don't know why. They're all pretty interesting if you care
to peruse
them.
This is Casey, the new addition to our house. Please welcome her because
she's a sweetheart. We picked her up at the ASPCA today. She's about a
year old or a little more. How somebody could just dump this dog on
their doorstep, I don't know. They say she's been spayed, we're
suspecting she may not be. She's already found Kaleb's tennis ball under
the chair and about disposed of it. She's currently passed out on the
couch.

Casey seems to have taken to her new home just fine. She seems to be
house trained and although she's got some worms, that'll be taken care
of pretty easy. We were told she was spayed but it became pretty obvious
on the way home, she wasn't. We had a appointment at the vet today and I
think we've found one we really like.
"Give me something
bizarre to play or put me in a dress and I'm fine."...says
Harvey Korman in a 2005 interview.
He died yesterday at 81. I guess it's really not so unexpected but I
grew up on the Carol Burnett Show literally from 1967 to 1978. Freaking
made me laugh so many times because they would do anything and crack up
about it themselves.
TTook a bike ride yesterday but rode down the opposite side of the river
instead and got a great view of the back of the former ALCO buildings,
one you can't see from the street. All of that property is due to be
redeveloped in the near future. I had no idea it went literally all the
way to the river.
And of course, I've heard Casey bark but twice since we got her, that
was until yesterday when I pulled out the vacuum and she went into
attack mode.
Governor Paterson told state agencies to start recognizing same sex
marriages performed in other states and countries the other day. That's
pretty cool be we've all learned not to get our hopes up too soon.
