today is mom and dad’s 34th wedding anniversary. how about that?

******

here’s something i thought was odd, i told dan and florrie today that i’ve been obsessed with abraham lincoln. florrie said that her mom was obsessed with lincoln a few months ago. isn’t that strange? i mean, just a little bit? what? it isn’t? are you sure? because florrie’s mom and i don’t have a lot in common. and for us to be obsessed with the same thing… what could it mean?

that i’m getting old. yeah, hilarious.

New Business:

i never talk about it cos it’s lame, but i’ve a myspace page. and yesterday i got a friend request from Kay Hooper. i’ve never gotten a friend request from a famous person before. on the one hand i feel special because somehow she found me. (pro’ly cos her name is in the list of authors on the page?) but on the other hand, i feel that if she had read the last three reviews i’ve written about her books she wouldn’t really want to be my friend. and of course, on the third hand, which is some kind of sci-fi-robot-lizard hand, i wonder if it’s actually kay hooper or more likely some kind of hired tech-minion.

cookie magoo is the funniest person on the planet, and i’m so glad i know her. on her site she mentions that when she’s having trouble falling asleep she tries to come up with long country song titles about scenes from Gone With the Wind. this is probably one of the most fantastic things i’ve ever heard. the two examples she gives are, “Stop Tryin’ to Crush My Skull With Your Bare Hands and Take Me to Bed Already” and “My Baby Done Fell Off Her Horse and Died Just Like My Daddy Did”.
if you do not see the genius in those two examples then the Genius Recognition Sector of your brain is not working properly.

i keep trying to come up with titles of my own, but it’s a lot harder than you think. the ONLY thing i’ve come up with is “i’ll never get the vote cos i’m black and a lady, and i don’t know nothin’ ’bout birthin’ babies.” how sad of an attempt is that? i keep trying to come up with one about having to wear drapes to visit your man in jail. but… no.
