I'm binge watching this season of Empire. Can i just talk abput the Prince themed birthday party for a 1 year old??? Don't gey me wrong I live me some Prince but that scene was crazy riggt???!!

I tried not to. I suspected it would happen. I tried to stay in the courtroom until after it aired. I recorded it on my DVR and knew I would watch at my leisure and when I would be alone. I knew that it would get me not only while I watched it but at the most inopportune time. The universe conspired to make me watch and I'm glad. I had only one ( Read more... )

I have been reading but not posting for a while. Not only have I not been posting, I haven't been commenting either until yesterday. When I posted and my friend let me know I've been MIA. So here goes. I'm going back to the holidays. Thanksgiving was spent in Southern California with my mother and sister. Granny and my uncle Robert came into town. ( Read more... )

So I was watching "the Bucket List" while I was riding the train. The DVD starts with what can only be described as a PSA. It shows clips of Casablanca as an advisory against video piracy. It ends with the following on-screen messages ( Read more... )

I watched the VP debate and it was bad. The commentary afterward made me want to weep. Reasonably intelligent people were deluding themselves and others into saying Sarah Palin did well. I don't think I've ever seen expectations so low for someone who plans to be the Vice President of the United States. She makes Dan Quayle look like a Rhodes  ( Read more... )

I'm all over the place right now. I'm frustrated by the sort of benign racism I see in the office. Only it's not so benign anymore. Here's the latest. One of my co-workers had a trial. The defendant is a caucasian woman in her early 20's she got drunk and ran over and killed a guy on a motorcycle. That's right he died. She decides to plead guilty ( Read more... )

 it's been a while work has been crazy yuck! Actually I love being in trial but then stuff piles up on my desk and dealing with that mess is the part I dislike. I've been trying to keep up with the election but really just don't have the time or the inclination right now to do a bunch of research on either candidate. Who the hell am I trying to ( Read more... )

I've been back for a while but have been too exhausted to say anything because of all the stuff piled up on my desk. I had an absolutely fabulous time despite the almost universal bad service. It started at the airport. We decided to book a generic airport shuttle because the hotel we were staying at did not have one. So we didn't know exactly ( Read more... )

Ok I love my baby but sheesh. She wants to know what romantic thing I'm doing for Valentine's Day. Since I hate Valentine's Day (love the sentiment just don't like being forced to practice that sentiment on an arbitrary day), I say, "Honey, I'll be happy to do all sort of romantic things but not on that day." She then starts pouting (not real ( Read more... )

I've been thinking more lately about politics than I ever have. Mostly because the thought of an African-American or female president excite me. I keep reading all the pundits who say stupid things like "Black women have a hard time deciding who to vote for." Really, I view that as a backhanded slap at any intelligent voter. I'm simply not going to ( Read more... )
