Blogger finally let me in! October 27, 2004 ~ 1:50 pm
Posted by Julie in : Daily Grind , trackbackI don’t know what the deal was this morning, but I haven’t been able to get on Blogger or see my blog until right now. What a P.I.T.A. Now that I can get in…well, it’s like that old saying: “I’m so excited I don’t know whether to shit or go blind!”
To celebrate, a random clump post.
First, go Sox! The Series is 3-0. Of course, we’re in the same place the Yankees were in this time last week, but we’ve learned from that, right? Right.
Second, for all you Wiccans, Pagans, and moon observers out there, tonight is a full moon lunar eclipse. The next one’s in 2007. Get out there and watch it if you can. I’ll try to take pictures, but my camera doesn’t do astronomy shots well.
Third, thought of the day, which I told my friend Lori, who is not having the easiest of times lately: “I think you should consider hibernation. If it’s good enough for bears, it’s good enough for you.”
Fourth, an anecdote from the Sting concert. Have you ever seen him perform live? He’s got two women who sing back up and dance. I’ve always thought I could do the dancing, no problem. But these women are black and have lovely, rich, gospel-type voices that little white me can never hope to emulate. Still, get a couple of beers in me, and I’m suddenly saying “I could do that! I could dance like that! I just have to be black!” After several repetitions of this at the Sting concert, Rick finally leaned over, put his arm around me, and said “Yes. Yes, you could. Now shut up.”
Fifth, if Ralph Nader takes votes from John Kerry I will hunt him down and beat him like a dog. Except I would never beat a dog. But I will beat Ralph Nader, because he will deserve it. I grant you that the US should have a three party (or however many party) system. But when the outcome is as important as this one is and you know that you have no chance in hell of doing anything other than diverting votes, Ralph, this is not the time to make that statement.
