Road Justice
So I'm driving to work the other day, down a road with a 35 MPH speed limit, which I am minding. This guy comes tearing out from behind me and zooms on down the road. Even as I'm saying out loud to myself in the car "Why is there never a cop around when you..." here comes the police vehicle, out from a side road, lights and siren blaring. He's ( Read more... ) -
The Latest Thing That Makes Me Laugh, and.......it's almost Shore Leave time!
So I saw the crows and it made me laugh. That's really all.
Oh, and also, this weekend is SHORE LEAVE! Yeah, every year I tell myself I've "grown out" of it, and every year, that just ain't the case. Can. Not. Wait. -
Nostalgia Day
I want to go back to Sugar Mountain. Anybody with me? -
Hey, it's Me
Haven't posted a thought to this journal in ages - which isn't necessarily anything to be ashamed about, since I've never posted much here in the first place - BUT.....I figured I ought to shout out if for no other reason than to say Hey, I'm still reading LiveJournal ( Read more... ) -

It's Almost SHORE LEAVE Time!

It's only sixteen days away now, and I'm allowing myself the full shivery anticipation of it. And, for real, I'm a grown-up, with a decent job, a mortgage, and a fair amount of ( Read more... ) -

In fact, it works much better for me - which makes my excitement level jump to warp, of course. There's a rockin' line-up of actor guests, and just ( Read more... ) -
My Two Cents: "Ula, Ula"
I'm like Oprah, I can't stop singing this little ditty. But what I love most is all the chatter about it. Target picked it because it was catchy, "summer-y," if you will, right? Not to offend anyone's indelicate sensibilities about what's supposed to be "American." It's a silly little song - and not even the whole song - that's perfect for the ( Read more... ) -
Uh oh, guess what day it is
I've been enjoying most of the GEICO "Happier than..." ads, but this latest one, the hump day camel, amuses me no end, and each time it comes on during a show I've DVR'ed, I have to stop and replay it three or four times. I adore ads that amuse me - since most television ads are ridiculous - and I'm glad GEICO's been coming up with some clever
