MORNING UPDATE - May 2, 2014

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! The weather is finally looking the way it's supposed to in May.
George regains his supremacy over the cat house. Sniffy, meanwhile, is enjoying the box from the Passover seltzer.
CNN was on again, but, thankfully, the noise from the playing machines drowned the noise from the TV.
The crazy upstairs is alive and well.
The young adult novel by Kendall and Kylie Jenner officially hit the shelves!!! Run to get it! And if you desire an autographed copy, they promised to grace our place in sometime in June!!!
Currently trending at #1 is Jason Priestley - because in his new memoir he "Dishes on Shannen Doherty, Brad Pitt". OK, who in the world is interested in reading this literary offering, never mind finding out some hitherto unknown facts about Doherty or Pitt?
Isaiah Washington returns to Grey's Anatomy after 7 years - man, how old is this show already? I think it's time to move to the daytime TV, like all the other soap operas.
Study: "Faces men prefer" - they actually look at the faces?!!!
Sharon Stone looks "sexy at 56" - a great accomplishment!
Prince Harry is officially single again and "was seen in Miami getting flirty with girls" - here is to hoping he would keep his clothes on this time.
"Justin Bieber Crack-Shamed Toronto Mayor" - this is known as extreme hutzpah.
Coffee this morning in a disposable cup from the bagel shop next to the CNN-blaring laundromat.

MORNING UPDATE - February 19, 2014

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Wednesday! The weather is in the 40s - be still, my heart! This winter was so bad that it finally killed a sweater of mine that I had since the first Clinton administration. I also run out of socks this week, and had to borrow some from Baby Bro. But at least nobody can attack Phil this time around as he did predict a long end of winter and a cold spring.
My roomie got himself a new bed - so the space under it is a new territory to relax in, to claim for, and to fight on for our feline companions.
The crazy upstairs is non-stoppable.
Another person who decided to write a kiddie book - Ringo Starr.
Currently trending at #1 is Lamar Odom - who is "heading to Spain to escape Kardashian clan". We, unfortunately, are not so lucky.
Trending at #2 is Jason Biggs - because he and wife "welcomed baby boy". Good luck to the kid not discovering his daddy's body of work.
Meryl Streep is currently at #6 - as being "grateful for 18th Oscar nomination". Don't worry, Meryl, if you do an anti-gun movie as promised, you will get about 3 Oscars for that one; guaranteed.
"J. Lo.'s risque look shocks and delights" - oh, give me a break! After that green number she wore at the Oscars back in 2000 she has a hard time beating her own record.
"Gun club for liberals" - that's something I did not see before. Apparently, they "love guns, but hate NRA's conservative agenda". As always, liberal brain matter shines through.
New study shows that lonely people "face elevated blood pressure and other health issues" - how come my blood pressure calms when I am alone and not forced to deal with human idiocy?
"Sharon Stone's aging crisis" - how about volunteering at the nursing home? That would cure fretting about turning 56.
"Worst week to call IRS" - there is actually a good week?!!
"US running short on clowns" - of course we are! All the clowns escaped to DC!
And, finally, a bank in Italy has a vault capable of holding 440,000 heads of Parmesan - I love Italians.
Coffee this morning in my stripped glass from Target.

MORNING UPDATE - AUGUST 11

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Sunday! Shavua Tov! Wishing all of you a fantastic week! The weather is fantastic - not at all NY August. Feline companions are enjoying the sun in their respective spots. Yesterday the inquiring minds wanted to know why my kitchen smelled of cheap wine - and when I explained that that was Manishewitz used for Havdalah, people shuddered. 
Today I spend a nice portion of the morning torturing my neighbours with my youtube music selections - and I admit that was extremely enjoyable.
Spitzer's ads are dominating the local channels and they are, frankly, nauseating.
Adele is currently trending at #1 - because she is "confirmed" to sing the title song for the next Bond movie. Adele might be an unusual singer, but that still would not compel me to watch the new Bond movie.
Some stars have "tattoo addiction" - wow, no joke, Sherlock!
Kevin Federline is in the news again because he finally remarried - who actually needs to know that?
Sharon Stone "stole" the red carpet from a much younger actress - what an achievement! 
"Guilt-Free Brownies" - why are pastries supposed to be filled with guilt? War on women, anyone?!!
Mark Kelly will take time off his busy schedule of making sure we are deprived of our Constitutional rights in order to actually perform his primary job - working for NASA.
And, finally, Will took the time off from "sleepless nights" and "dirty diapers" in order to attend a bachelor party - how truly manly of him.
Coffee this morning in my personalized NY mug from WB store.

MORNING UPDATE - JULY 30

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Tuesday! The weather was actually nice enough to sleep without a/c - but it's warming up again. Sniff went back to his waiting by the bathroom door routine. This morning they already had a chance to fight over breakfast, and are not snoozing - George on my bed, and Sniff on top of the rucksack. 
Was too lazy to go up to check on the progress of the incinerator battle - but very tempted to add some oil to the fire.
J. Lo is celebrating her 44th birthday - gosh, had it been so long already?
In the news of fashion - Kelly Osbourne wore shoes with heels looking like ice cream cones; does she like ice cream that much?!
"Sharon Stone reveals how aging changed her" - thanks, I really don't need the details.
Clintons are "upset" by being compared to Wiener's scandal and Hil is trying to "distance" herself - no honor among thieves, I see.
US border patrol agents found pot on Bieber's tour bus - but there are no indications that it's his.
And the latest rave on the royal baby is his upcoming christening - wonder if it would correspond with some kind of muslim rioting.
Coffee this morning in my San Fran latte mug.
