Juno was really, really, really good!! I loved the main character, Juno; but then i loved all the characters: the boyfriend, the bestfriend, the Dad, the stepmom but mostly the quirkiness of the script. Diablo Cody I think I love you.
Go here to read a coherent review.
Blonde LOGIC
Two blondes living in Oklahoma were sitting on a bench talking . and oneblonde says to the other, "Which do you think is farther away ....Florida or the moon?"The other blonde turns and says "Helloooooooooo, can you see Florida?????"
CAR TROUBLE
A blonde pushes her BMW into a gas station. She tells the mechanicher car died.After he works on it for a few minutes, it is idling smoothly. She says, "What's the story?"He replies, "Just crap in the carburetor"She asks, "How often do I have to do that?"
SPEEDING TICKETA police officer stops a blonde for speeding and asks her verynicely if he could see her license.She replied in a huff, "I wish you guys would get your act together. Just yesterday you take away my license and then today you expect meto show it to you!"
AT THE DOCTOR'S OFFICEA gorgeous young redhead goes into the doctor's office and said thather body hurt wherever she touched it. "Impossible!" says the doctor. "Show me."The redhead took her finger, pushed on her left breast and screamed,then she pushed her elbow and screamed even more. She pushed herknee and screamed; likewise she pushed her ankle and screamed. Everywhere she touched made herscream.The doctor said, "You're not really a redhead, are you?"Well, no" she said, "I'm actually a blonde.""I thought so," the doctor said. "Your finger is broken"
KNITTINGA highway patrolman pulled alongside a speeding car on the freeway.Glancing at the car, he was astounded to see that the blonde behind the wheel was knitting! Realizing that she was obliviousto his flashing lights and siren, the trooper cranked down hiswindow,turned on his bullhorn and yelled, "PULL OVER!""NO!" the blonde yelled back, "IT'S A SCARF!"
BLONDE ON THE SUN
A Russian, an American, and a Blonde were talking one day. TheRussiansaid, "We were the first in space!" The American said, "We were the first on the moon!"The Blonde said, "So what? We're going to be the first on the sun!"The Russian and the American looked at each other and shook theirheads."You can't land on the sun, you idiot! You'll burn up!" said the Russian.To which the Blonde replied, "We're not stupid, you know. We're going at night!"
IN A VACUUM
A blonde was playing Trivial Pursuit one night. It was her turn. Sherolled the dice and she landed on Science & Nature. Her question was, "If you are in a vacuum and someone calls your name,can you hear it?"She thought for a time and then asked, "Is it on or off?"
RIVER WALK
There's this blonde out for a walk. She comes to a river and seesanother blonde on the opposite bank. "Yoo-hoo!" she shouts, "How can I get to the other side?"The second blonde looks up the river then down the river and shoutsback, "You ARE on the other side."
FINALLY, THE BLONDE JOKE TO END ALL BLONDE JOKES!A girl was visiting her blonde friend, who had acquired two newdogs,and asked her what their names were. The blonde responded by saying that one was named Rolex and one was named Timex.Her friend said, "Whoever heard of someone naming dogs like that?""HELLLOOOOOOO......," answered the blond. "They're watch dogs
Wish i could remember who sent me this photo so that i could give them credit.
Last years valentine post (evidently this is not my holiday). And the year before that.
Boy, I wish that was the way it sounds. My boy was in hysterics tonite, when he walked into my room and I was lying face down on my bed with Jackson, my dog, at my feet and my hand clutching a soda can attempting to do my damn physical therapy exercies. Well, his laughter was infectious or i saw the ridiculousness/ludicresness of the scene and we both couldn't stop laughing til i banned him from my room-"Go to bed",and when that didn't work, "Just go, get out". We said I love you and bid good nite. Some lucky girl is going to get my boy someday and it will break my heart. It's ironic, but just a few hours earlier when i sat here typing my little heart away, I had confessed to him that my dream job , what I thought would be my best shot at writing would've been editorials, or maybe editor/agent or perhaps just a poet. So that is why i love sex in the city and all the characters but of course, i love Carrie best.
What's your favorite show/character??

Call (404) 875-6420 and ask for Daisy, I'll be waiting.... Please scroll down .
Over 15,000 men found themselves talking to the Atlanta Humane Society...
I walked around Disney contemplating posts or at least titles and ideas but now this title says it all. I considered just posting the title but I will get back with more after I put out some fires and do that pile of laundry. I do want to pick the winner of my contest below (contest now closed) but I'm having a little soiree (ladies jewelry party) tmrrw. nite and i must clean my house, cook! and work a 1/2 day tmrrw. or I would take the short (45 min.) drive to Patry's to get the winner's autographed copy. I will pick/post the winner this weekend tho - promise.
As is my usual way - I'm late. I started this more personal post last week, knowing that "The Liar's Diary Day " ( see previous post) was coming up soon. But then feeling self conscious i just went with the generic copycat posting that was offered.
But still having the nagging feeling that this just wasn't good enough for one of my Best Friends.
Plus I never got to ask all you wonderful blog buddies to please Buy the book. I should've had a contest - yeah a contest - i love contests!! for a signed copy of the book - after all I do know the author and all. So ok I've decided whoever leaves a comment here saying that they would like to read the book, i will enter in a drawing for a signed copy of the book. The rest of you nice folks will just have to go out and buy it for yourselves.
I met Patry many moons ago in Vermont. We were cocktail waitresses at a nightclub. We became fast friends- it was us against them. I was a vegetarian, she was a mother.... and a writer - a wonderful writer.
Luckily for both of us our careers there were not longlived and we both left Vermont shortly thereafter. Patry moved to Amherst with her 2 adorable boys and I tried out DC. After breaking up with my boyfriend in DC, I headed back to Vermont , but stopped in Amherst, MA to visit my friend, Patry, first. The rest as they say is history.
Last Jan. i received a call we'd been waiting for for awhile (but i always knew would come) and last Feb.2nd The Liar's Diary came out.
Yesterday the paperback came out- I'm asking all of you (over there on my blogroll) to please go buy the book( buy 2 - one for someone else) and blog about it too.
(And don't forget if you leave a comment that you would like to read the book, i'll enter you to win a signed copy in my little contest- just as soon as I get back from my vacation to Fla. - leaving on Fri. and since i have to work tmrrw. and pack (horrors!!) I'll pick the winner on my return (after Wed.) I'll be bringing my laptop and I might post from there if time allows.)
Thanks!
Unbelievable!
I watched the speeches last night after the landslide victory of Barack Obama.
His speech was spot on - inspirational and telling it like it is.
The Clinton's speech - well, it was more of the same - posturing. Don't get me wrong; I actually like them. Was undecided between her and Barack for awhile and I liked Bill (liked him as president(economy good, no war), liked his personality - he is a Leo and he plays a mean saxophone).
But last night I made up my mind.
I'm just a little nervous because I'm not sure the Democrats can "bring it". Why are the Republicans so savvy/masters at disguise/i mean marketing. They get the moral majority bandwagon going there in the middle lands and it's all over for us idealists.
But then sometimes I can't even believe that we actually have a woman and a black man running. So who knows maybe the unbelievable can happen if you dream.; maybe things can happen if you dream.
(1/29/05 Footnote: Matt over at Nova Dad has a great post up on his Republican take on Obama, please go read. )
and i'm still awake writing this song .....(what song and who sings that?) Just Breathe by ? anna Nalick??
Well it was really 3:15 AM when the doorbell rang : I look at the clock and wait for my husband, who is sleeping in the next room, to get up. I'm assuming it's my stepdaughter stumbling in (instead at 2AM-her curfew) and thinking that someone locked the door by mistake and that well she can go around to the deck door (which is always open). The dog is making barking sounds and since noone else seems to be getting up, I do and go downstairs and look outside and see a police cruiser out front. I call up to said husband and he goes out- seems she left her headlights on ??? are our police overzealous or what. she slept thru this but now i am wide awake, tried reading but then decide to take a sleeping pill, hell i don't have to get up in the morning, right? Wrong
At 6:15 my son comes in to ask me if it is Sun. or Mon. (his alarm went off); i tell him to go back to sleep. Later at 9:30 when i awake I wonder if i dreamt that part but at breakfast he talks about it so i guess it did happen.
So even when i'm not suffering from insomnia I can't get any sleep around here.
And you think it's easy being me.
An old cowboy sat down at the Starbucks and ordered a cup of coffee. As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sat down next to him. She turned to the cowboy and asked, "Are you a real cowboy?"
He answered, "Well, I've spent my whole life breaking colts, working cows, going to rodeos, fixing fences, pulling calves, bailing hay, doctoring calves, cleaning my barn, fixing flats, working on tractors, and feeding my dogs, so I guess I am a cowboy."
"I'm a lesbian," the young woman replied. "I spend my entire day thinking about women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about women. When I shower, I think about women. When I watch TV, I think about women. I even think about women when I eat. It seems that everything makes me think of women."
The two sat sipping in silence. A little while later, a man sat down on the other side of the old cowboy and asked, "Are you a real cow boy?"
"I always thought I was," the old man replied, "but I just found out that I'm a lesbian."
We've got trouble - right here in River city. In way of an explanation for my scarce posting. I'm on my laptop with it's annoying broken space bar and i'm sitting at the kitchen island, not in my cozy upstairs den/computer room. You see my husband is sleeping in there because my 20 yr old step-daughter has decided to live with us and is back in her/his room. Oh it's too complicated and depressing to write about now with this broken spacebar and all so i'm going to bed before she stumbles in in a few short hours.
That was written last night in despair and then promptly taken down in the morning before work. I thought i would work on it but what is there to say really?
A couple had been married for 25 years and also celebrated their
60th birthdays. During the celebration a fairy appeared and said that
because they had been such a loving couple all those years, she would
give them one wish each. The wife wanted to travel around the world. The fairy waved her wand and boom! She had the tickets in her hand. Next, it was the
husband's turn. He paused for a moment, then said shyly,
"Well, I'd like to have a woman 30 years younger than me." The fairy
picked up her wand and boom! He was 90.
to sway my decision ( if I can make one) on the new name for my blog. "When I Grow Up" came from my 1st post and tho it has grown on me I think I know very well that ain't ever gonna happen. As Woody Allen says in ?which movie?.."I'm not going to live long enough to finish therapy." Also as I've mentioned before I'm tired of coming up on the google search for "When I grow up poems." These were the original contenders ; but I have settled on these (i think):
When The Spirit Moves You
Jersey Girl
Unfortunately even tho Spaghetti and Meatballs got the most votes and is kinda funny, my serious side just can't seem to do that one.
So I'm still taking votes and suggestions.
Well, i wrote this 2nd post in May and now here it is October again - time for a decision. This is from a year ago and since I just remembered that Jersey Girl is that awful movie with JLo, i guess i'm ditching that so it comes down to.... A) When the Spirit Moves You or B) the current "When I Grow Up".
or maybe Just Write since that unfortunately has been vacated.
