MORNING UPDATE - December 25, 2014

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Thursday! Merry Day Off to me!!! It's beautiful December day outside, which I am very happy to observe from my window. Due to certain circumstances, George ended up eating Friskies today - which he consumed without any protest and asked for seconds; which, in turn, made Baby Bro call him a typical American who loves junk food. Sniff did his usual devil-chasing exercises in the morning and is now happily napping on the couch.
The crazy upstairs is strangely silent.
Yet another celebrity who decided that she can write a whole series of children's books - Whoopi Goldberg.
Currently trending at #2 is Scott Disick - because he and Kourtney are supposedly "done having kids". On behalf of kids everywhere - thank you!
Trending at #10 is gourmet hot chocolate - why the hell isn't it at #1?!!
"Russia sides with North Korea" - why is this such a surprise?
"Mind games to aid workouts" - you exercise or your health goes south! What other mind games do you need?!!
"How to regift without getting caught" - classy.
"Is One Direction tired of its first hit?" - personally, I am tired of One Direction and the heavy books about them I have to constantly shelve.
"Obama's personal chef to to leave White House" - considering that he was also a "senior adviser for nutrition policy", he probably decided to call it quits before hungry kids from across America will come together to pelt him with their disgusting school lunches.
A dude was "escorted" off the American Airlines flight "after flipping out over staff's 'Merry Christmas'" - he is invited to spent a month in Iran, or Saudi Arabia, of Qatar, or Yemen, and enjoy religious toleration in there.
"How Jennifer Lopez keeps getting younger and younger" - um, desperation?

MORNING UPDATE - NOVEMBER 22

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! The weather became rainy and windy, but still flip-flop compliant. 
Sniff decided to snuggle with me, or rather my feet, for most of the night, and George came in the wee hours of the morning, demanding to be petted.
The public wanted to know how I celebrated my birthday - well, I took off from work; at my advanced age that's a great celebration!
Currently trending at #1 is someone named Brooke Hogan - whose apparent claim to fame was her engagement to some kind of football player, which she now broke, hence her shooting up to the top of the news.
Trending at #6 is Kendall Jenner - due to the excitement of digesting her date with some dude from One Direction.
Yet another dude, this time from Memphis, left his money and his home to his 2 cats - I wonder what cats could do with a quarter of a mil.
"Restaurants fret about possible Sriracha shortage" - what the hell is this?!! First turkeys, now hot sauce?!! Damn you to hell, Hussein!
"Liam Hemsworth "happier" without Miley" - I want to say "duh!", but also want to ask the spineless jerk why the hell he decided to propose to begin with, if he needed to "figure stuff out"?!
Then someone is analyzing who had more outrageous year - Miley or Gaga; really?!! Who gives a rat's behind?!
"5 things you may not know about One Direction" - spare me! I have enough from just looking at their so-called biography at work!
Justin Bieber "does not give a f--k" about his critics - how refreshing and classy of him.
