MORNING UPDATE - October 22, 2014

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Wednesday! The weather is yuck-y and blah-y - typical October day in New York.
George and Sniff are both parked on Baby Bro's bed - George is warming up the blanket and Sniff is impersonating the foot warmer.
Yet another celeb who thinks she can write a book for kids - (former) Queen of Jordan Ranya.
According to the latest issue of the National Geographic Traveler, "A company in the Czech capital of Prague has launched "corruption tours" to show where crooked civil servants have wasted taxpayers' money" - White House, anyone?
The crazy upstairs is strangely silent again - should I call the police?
Actress Tatyana Ali of the Fresh Prince fame went on about her "good hair" and "explained that having straight hair made her feel alienated from her friends and family with textured hair. “It was something that set me apart—and not necessarily in a good way—from other girls that I knew,” she said. “I felt like I was made to seem different.” Like, seriously?!! That was your problem during childhood?
Yet another preggo celeb who supposedly nails the maternity style - Blake Lively. After looking at the picture, I would politely disagree.
"Viagra was originally designed to treat cardiovascular disease" - wow! Live an learn.
Elizabeth Warren claimed that she had been "treated differently in the Senate", but "refused to elaborate". Well, maybe people got stunned while meeting her when they expected a Native American gal?
Halloween is approaching - and in honor of it we have a list of celebs who claim to have ghostly experiences. Since the list includes such notables as Hillary Clinton, Miley Cyrus, and Lady Gaga, I think it would have been so much better if they themselves were ghostly apparitions and not real people we have to deal with.
No news on Bieber.
And, finally, Kate is feeling much better and returned to her royal duties "in style".
Coffee today in my Harry Potter mug.

MORNING UPDATE - JULY 25

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Thursday! The weather is actually half-decent, thank Gd! The said occurrence feline companions are enjoying to the fullest, especially Sniff, who did his usual battle cry-huge tail-lots of crazy running routine - which he did not perform since the first heat wave. Both of them also decided to try and have a fight on the edge of the kitchen sink, but then George thought better of it. He, in turn, complained in the morning, sat on the window sill with the newly "adjusted" shade, then on the sill next to my desk, and finally both of them decided to take a nap on my bed.
Joke of the day #1 comes from our building manager, who, apparently, did not read the notice telling everyone that the intercom would be out of commission for the next 2 weeks. This morning he decided to press the bell and was completely flabbergasted when he realized that nothing was working.
Joke of the day #2 comes from someone in the PR Department of the MTA, a representative of which uttered something to the extend of people taking it for granted that there are no fires on the subways.
Rinsing your head with beer right after shampoo is good for your hair - and if you don't rinse it on time, I guess it would be a perfect distraction from ESPN for a man of your life.
Among the 10 best places in USA to live in, there is Anchorage - which proves one more time that Sara Palin knew what she was doing.
On the other hand, Washington, DC, was just pronounced the least honest city in the USA - surprised much?
Taylor Swift left a nice tip plus concert tickets at the restaurant that impressed her with a nice service - take that, Kanye!
Chris Brown always makes sure that his car matches his shoes - no comment.
MTV.com is offering to take a pick inside Justin Bieber's jewelry box - please spare me!
Shakira is currently trending at #1 because she just "unveiled" a "slim bikini body" mere 6 months after giving birth - big deal! I know some local ladies who can give her a run for her money!
Blake Lively is currently trending at #2 because her representative just went public claiming that she is not pregnant - hum, thank Gd?
And, finally, royal baby is already stimulating the economy - the company that produced the swaddling blanket in which he left the hospital has no more of these blankets in stock! Way to go, Georgie!
Coffee this morning in my glass Cappuccino mug.
