I am back....the computer is fixed now. Damn power supply fried on me. Did anybody miss me????

Ugh....computer troubles. My computer has died so I have to borrow others to get online. Who knows when I will be able to get my computer back? Hope all is well and hopefully I will be back soon.

I really can't stand Sarah Palin. I wish she would just drop off the face of the earth but we won't be so lucky. I just hope to god she doesn't run for president and enough slack-jawed yokels find their way to the voting booths and get her into office. If that were to happen I WILL move to Canada. Why am I on this anti-SP rant?
Well, she is in the news again because of the latest Family Guy episode. She was offended because in the episode, one of the main characters Chris was dating a girl named Ellen who had Down syndrome. Now remember, Palin has a son with Down syndrome. So in the episode, Ellen tells Chris that her mother was "the former governor of Alaska". Ha ha. Oh, Sarah Palin now has reared her ugly head and condemned Family Guy, blah blah blah. So, who is now defending Family Guy? The person who voiced the character of Ellen in that episode.....Andrea Fay Friedman, who has Down syndrome. You may remember her as Corky's girlfriend on the show "Life Goes On". Anyway, this is what she had to say about the brouhaha...

"My name is Andrea Fay Friedman. I was born with Down syndrome. I played the role of Ellen on the "Extra Large Medium" episode of Family Guy that was broadcast on Valentine's day. Although they gave me red hair on the show, I am really a blonde. I also wore a red wig for my role in "Smudge" but I was a blonde in "Life Goes On". I guess former Governor Palin does not have a sense of humor. I thought the line "I am the daughter of the former governor of Alaska" was very funny. I think the word is "sarcasm".

In my family we think laughing is good. My parents raised me to have a sense of humor and to live a normal life. My mother did not carry me around under her arm like a loaf of French bread the way former Governor Palin carries her son Trig around looking for sympathy and votes."

Take that Sarah Palin! Now I feel like watching those old "Life Goes On" episodes.....

RIP Doug Fieger :-(

I guess I shall say the obligatory "Happy Valentine's Day" to all and leave it at that. But me personally...Valentine's Day? Screw that. It's all about the Chinese New Year Parties. Everyone's getting laid in the year of the tiger....woo hoo! But for now, I will honour the day by listening to The Smiths.....ha ha ha.

I have a 3 day weekend to look forward to......woo hoo!

I have just finished watching an episode of "Later with Jools Holland".....from 2003 with The Pretenders, blah blah blah.....and Robert Palmer. I forgot that he (RP) isn't around anymore. And he passed away soon after that episode was taped. Just dropped dead from a heart attack at the age of 53. Wow. I was watching him perform and I was wondering if he felt like his time was near. I mean, he looked like he was okay....but there had to be some sign. I don't know. Lately I have been thinking about death....mortality....morbid things like that.

I am now counting down the days until spring. I used to be a winter person but after the season we have had so far, well....I could use some warmer weather. But no summer.....still am not fond of that one. At least the summers around here. Maybe a southern california by the ocean summer....yeah. But anyway, how many days until spring now?

watching the rain fall, fall, fall......hypnotic! then more snow tomorrow....holy crap. i will be going to see the fiery furnaces tonight.....woo hoo! that should be a great show.....loved blueberry boat. we shall see.

Cool....thanks so much for the help in posting Youtube videos! I felt like posting this fan video of a great song by the band Broadcast. I love their sound and the snippets from this movie fits so well with the song.
