June 2009

This year sucks. Do you hear me? YOU SUCK, 2009! I am sick and tired of it and I won’t take another minute of it. I want you to start turning around right NOW! I am working my ass off and I am trying to make things happen but I can’t [...]

Bulking Up

by Donna on June 28, 2009

Recently I made the decision to start replacing and upgrading items in my house that are showing signs of age. Normally I am all about denying myself but I’ve started to realize that attitude isn’t helping me. I hold off on purchases thinking I am saving money and then everything starts failing [...]

Celebrity Death Trio

by Donna on June 27, 2009

Ed McMahon
Farrah Fawcett
Michael Jackson

I never thought Michael Jackson would round out the trio.  In a way, it feels like Michael Jackson died a long time ago.  I remember thinking he was pretty nifty around 1982 but it was soon after getting burned during that Pepsi commercial that he just got weird and I lost total [...]

Breath of Fire

by Donna on June 22, 2009

I am ready to take on the day.  I am ready for whatever is thrown at me.  All things pass.  Everything works out in the end.  Charles Bronson and ice cream.

Medea & Jason

by Donna on June 21, 2009

I also saw Madea Goes to Jail.  Actually I saw approximately 1/3 of it because it was so terribly stupid I had to turn it off and reclaim my life.  The movie is NOT about Madea going to jail as the movie trailers and posters suggested.  It’s actually about a DA who is engaged to [...]

Pursuing Wireless Audio…

by Donna on June 21, 2009

I’ve written about my desire to untether my music in the past.  I have Rhapsody and love it and listen to it often but I find it leaves me feeling stuck.  I have to be right in front of my computer to enjoy it.  Instead I want to be able to have music available to [...]

Movie Follow-ups

by Donna on June 21, 2009

I watched Gran Torino.  I enjoyed the story but I really disliked the racial slurs.  Were those names even necessary?  Couldn’t he have gotten the same point across (Lonely old man befriends Asian neighbors) without the excessive use of the term “Gooks?”  Could this be the reason it was said to be a conservative movie… [...]

Social Studies

by Donna on June 16, 2009

David Letterman has me angry. He told an off-joke on his show the other day. Something about Sarah Palin and her daughter’s visit to NYC and how her daughter got knocked up by a baseball player. Big brouhaha ensued, quite rightly in my opinion. And David Letterman FINALLY does the right [...]

The world will end

by Donna on June 15, 2009

I finally bought a new television the other day. I figured coveting wasn’t healthy and I might as well just buy one. Plus with the sheer amount of money the Fed has printed, we are going to start seeing inflation on a grand scale so I might as well spend some of the [...]

The Sun is shining

by Donna on June 12, 2009

Today is the first day that I don’t feel like death. At least since last Saturday. That’s when the onset of this cold hit me. It also helps that the sun is shining for the first time in days. I am not 100% but I went for a walk and am [...]
