Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! It's cold and cloudy outside - typical October in our fair city.
George decided that he prefers turkey (at least for now). Sniff finally figured out all our tricks of preventing him from leaving the apartment, and now it's just fun to watch him trying to trick us.
Due to poor planning ended up with half a gallon of Chalav Israel milk.
The crazy upstairs is alive and well, so the local precinct can rest easy - at least in this matter.
Currently trending at #1 is Ellen DeGeneres - because she dressed up as Amal Alamuddin for Halloween. The end result was, well, a bit strange.
Trending at #7 are Elsa and Anna - I guess for no other reason but for the fact that they are Elsa and Anna.
Big Bang Theory is at #10 - because Kaley Cuoco got a Hollywood star. Enjoy, Kaley!
Paris Hilton "globally dominated" fragrance industry for the past decade - as usual, consumers went for the name, because if you close your eyes, you won't be able to differentiate between Paris's fragrance and about twenty others.
"Haunted White House" - "How Obama, White House celebrate Halloween". There is no need to dress up at all, Michelle and Barry, as you resemble ghouls and Dementors the 365 days a year, not just on October 31.
"Miley's next big move: going glam for good cause" - of course, "good cause" just happens to be the one that Hollywood and lefties support.
"The best drinking tours in America" - let's go, people!
"How to shop for steak" - um, you go to the butcher's counter?
According the new study, US does not treat new parents as well as other industrialized nations - unless, of course, we are talking about illegal invaders, which, of course, the study did not account for.
No news on Bieber - but he is still alive and still did not decamp back to Canada.

MORNING UPDATE - October 24, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy First Day of Rosh Chodesh! Ladies, I know that it's Erev Shabat, so it's pointless to remind you to keep it light on the housework - but please make sure hubbies give you gifts!
The weather is improved somehow and is actually pretty decent for the end of October.
The heat is on, so Sniff returned to his ninja sleeping position - half on the radiator, and half in the cat house. George also has a fave relaxation pose - he assumes the phoenix pose on the Baby Bro's bed and sticks exactly one claw into the curtain.
Yet another celeb who decided to write a picture book - Bethenny Frankel.
Yesterday had to assist two space cadets simultaneously with Percy Jackson books - but if one was nice, smile-y, and grateful, the other one took it upon himself to prove that I am a moron (proving instead that he is a water buffalo).
Big announcement - although the original Singing Slavs retired for no apparent reason, their baton was recently picked up by a younger group!
The crazy upstairs is really scaring me into thinking of calling the police and checking on her.
Currently trending at #2 is North West - because, according to her mommy, she "will have a job". Afraid to find out the details.
Trending at #3 is Jessica Simpson - because her one year old son "is killing us with cuteness." Gun control enthusiasts rest.
Trending at #8 is Pippa Middleton - because of her claim of not dieting. Yea, lady, pull another one.
On the other hand, "Selena Gomez shares her elaborate beauty rituals" - spare me!
"Honey Boo Boo cancelled" - people with taste, rejoice!
And speaking of gun control - Rihanna is in hot water for her recent appearance with a purse shaped like a gun! This time common sense rests, once again.
"Why Lena Dunhan died her hair mint green" - who exactly gives a flying banana?
"Adult treats for Halloween" - what, raiding your kids' stash is now passe?
Coffee this morning in a disposable cup from a bagel shop located next to a barbarian-overrun laundromat.

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".

MORNING UPDATE - October 7, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Tuesday! The weather is great for an early October day in our fair city.
Sniff can't decide which bed he prefers; George can't decide about which food he should complain more - chicken or turkey.
New York's finest visited our building earlier today - more barbarians, more visits.
Yesterday got an interesting customer who obviously mistook our place for a welfare office - because he assumed that if he would not scream and generally would not behave like an obnoxious boor, he would be denied service.
The crazy upstairs is strangely silent.
Currently trending at #1 are Khloe and Lamar - for completely mysterious reasons.
At #2 is Jennifer Aniston - also with just a bunch of her pictures.
And at #5 we got "Kendall Jenner: A New Victoria's Secret Angel?" A laudable achievement, especially for her tender years.
Hugh Grant almost didn't get his part in Four Weddings and a Funeral because he was "too handsome". Seriously?! Cute, yes; handsome - spare me!
"Simone shocks Oprah!" - by claiming that she is not African-American, but just American. Sharpton's and Jackson's heads exploding in 5, 4, 3...
"Company names you may be pronouncing wrong" - disaster of unimaginable magnitude!
"(Megan) Fox's leather corset dress" - earth-shattering piece of news right there!
"How to avoid plane germs" - by driving your own car.
No news on Beyonce or Bieber.

MORNING UPDATE - September 30, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Tuesday! The weather is on the slightly blah-y side. Sniff continues to ambush me in the small hallway; George can't figure out what he likes more - chicken or turkey.
Lena Dunham, and, on the smaller scale, Oliver Jeffries, are both gracing my workplace today, so, very, very glad for the day off - although did manage to have a strange dream about crowds outside of the store.
The crazy upstairs is on her usual post.
A very important piece of news that I did not report on due to Holidays - George Clooney's nuptials. Congratulations, World - here is another power couple from hell.
Another important news item that has gone unreported - Chelsea Clinton had a baby girl! Poor kid, to be born into that cesspool of a family!
Currently trending at #2 is James Franco - because he "finds dating difficult as he is 'shy'". Spare me, please!
Trending at #3 is Victoria Beckham - because she made it on the list of the 20 most stylish brides. For reasons unknown, the list included only celebs from this and last century. As a plebeian history buff, I strongly object to the list (although not to some of the names on it).
According to the new biography of Coco Chanel, "she despised flowery perfume" - that's probably why I despise Chanel perfumes.
"Avoid dating burnout" - too late for this one.
Beyonce suffered "wardrobe malfunction" during her latest concert - ladies, this is getting soooo old and boring.
"Why Gaga's no longer blond" - who cares?
"12 cemeteries you should see before you die" - thanks, but no, thanks.

MORNING UPDATE - September 19, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Ever Shabat! The weather is beautiful - a treat in our fair city.
Sniffy decided that my bed is fun and comfortable after all. George demanded "human" turkey last night, which he practically inhaled - should I notify Empire that their cold cuts are beloved by cats?
The crazy upstairs is up to her usual.
The latest celebrity to publish a picture book - Keith Richards! So now we have extra strange and bohemian types wondering our floor, muttering "F--k, where is it?!"
A book by Nietzsche was discovered by yours truly about 3 weeks ago in the biography section and was put into a pile of books improperly shelved. A genius colleague of mine decided to re-shelve it in the history section, where I re-discovered it this week. If I find it again on our floor, this book will have an official title of The Wondering German.
Currently trending at #6 is free coffee - it looks like some outfits actually do offer free coffee this Friday!
"J. Lo's python 'Barbie Outfit'" - Jennifer, don't even try, as nothing will beat your green dress!
"A look back at the Spears-Federline marriage" - why?!!
"Hilary Clinton didn't feel independent until age 53" - America, on the other hand, is forever saddled with the legacy of her dear hubby's presidency.
"9 ways to kill time waiting in the iPhone 6 line" - or you can just go home and get a life.
"Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber cook dinner together" - really hope they did not poison each other (or maybe I do?)
And, finally, Prince Harry helped a little girl enjoy the concert by putting her on his shoulders - the concert was during a closing ceremony for the games for the wounded vets, and the girl's father was one of those vets.

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Monday! The weather is rocking - perfect park weather on a workday smile emoticon Cats decided that my room is not fun anymore (unless they can destroy something) - but the sleeping is done somewhere else.
The soap dish was restored to its normal place.
The crazy upstairs is strangely silent.
Aside from booze, also missing at least one plate (fate known), and one kitchen towel - fate unknown.
According to the latest issue of the Men's Health, 1 out of 10 dudes would break up with a woman is she is funnier than him (makes better jokes) - what a pathetic bunch of sore losers!
Congratulations, fellow Americans, we got ourselves a new Miss America! She hails from our own Empire State, and, judging by her name, is Russian.
Currently trending at #3 is Kendall Jenner and her "adventures during New York Fashion week". I don't think I really want to know the details of those "adventures".
Trending at #4 is Loch Ness Monster - who was "allegedly spotted in England". No alleged spotting of English government's resolve to fight the real monsters on their soil.
"Your thyroid could be blamed for weight gain" - duh!!
"10 male fashion archetypes" - sign of our bizarre and sad times.
"Prague has become an absinthe capital" - the lovers of absinthe, start packing your bags!
"Kate Winslet shines in hourglass look" - um, kudos to her for looking human and not plastic?
"Justin Bieber Gets Cozy in Las Vegas with Selena Gomez" - what the heck does that mean? Sharing a stool by the slot machine?
"Beyonce debuts hair extensions during Parisian lunch with Jay Z and Blue Ivy amid rumors that she is pregnant with her second child" - oh, wow! New hair! Lunch in Paris with hubby and child! Pregnancy rumors! A total overload, dude!
And, finally, Happy 30th Birthday to Prince Harry!
Coffee this morning in my huge Disney Pooh mug that Nat gave me for my Birthday.

MORNING UPDATE - September 9, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Tuesday! The weather finally got to a perfectly enjoyable point.
Both cats decided that it's not worth it to take advantage of an early breakfast, and opted for sleeping in instead.
Yesterday had a customer who was looking for books for 3- and 5-year old boys with "strong female lead in them".
Debating it it's actually worth the money to restock on booze.
Google reminded me that today is Tolstoy's birthday - thanks, Brin, because otherwise I would have gone the whole day completely oblivious of such an important fact.
Princeton, Harvard, and Yale are considered to be the best colleges in America (in that order) - well, if you take into account the number of liberal brown shirts teaching there, I can only conclude that the people compiling the list recently visited Colorado.
Diet high in protein will lower your blood pressure - not paying attention to any news regarding benefits and/or harm of any kind of food will have the same effect.
"Reese Witherspoon Talks Female Empowerment" - "total liberation" to think that it's OK, I was meant to sleep with all those guys. Any other meaning of empowerment, aside from going naked, having sex, having abortion, or being a proud lesbian?
"Taylor Swift's wet and wild Rolling Stone cover" - another asset of "empowerment" , I guess.
"Kendall Jenner hits the runway" - man, I thought she already did that.
"Megan Fox and her shorter hairstyle hit red carpet" - what's with all those "hitting" of the carpets and runways and such?
Ray Nagin began his prison sentence today - hopefully, Obama, Holder, Rangel, Pelosi, and a long string of others to follow.
"Kim Kardashian completes Ice Bucket challenge on Ellen show" - I am so happy that I don't watch the Ellen show.
"Beyonce shows bikini body with Jay Z and parents in Cannes" - finally! The moment we have all been waiting for! Our summer would have been so bereft without looking at this touching family portrait!
"Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are exclusive" - yea, whatever.

MORNING UPDATE - September 8, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Monday! The weather decided to go into the Indian Summer mode, and, this being New York, the results are not the best.
Sniff continues to nominate himself as a mashgiah for every cleaning, which necessitates isolating him for his own good. George can't figure out if he likes minced turkey or not.
Still did not restock my booze - an embarrassment to my un-missed Russian heritage.
Crazy upstairs is up to the usual.
Currently trending at #3 is Kourtney Kardashian - and again for reasons entirely unknown.
Jennifer Aniston is at #6 - because "she loves Kim Kardashian". Then why is Kourtney trending? What am I missing - aside from the obvious, of course.
Portia De Rossi is at #9 - because she "and Ellen are staying together". Whew! The load off our collective psyche!
"Cost of renouncing U.S. citizenship about to soar" - why?!! Let those bastards go and not come back!! Let them also take all the America-hating swine still polluting our country with them! This is the only cause, aside from Military, for which I would gladly be taxed!
"Mystery virus strikes kids" - nicely done! Let's allow more illegals over our borders and see what else they might infect us with.
"Insider tip for getting into a buzzy restaurant" - oh, for heaven's sake! Just go into the less "buzzy" one!
"Shoes that look good on every woman" - OK, that one I never heard before.
Among the 10 most visited cities in Europe, Istanbul is at #7 - why?!!
"Kale salad with peaches" - shudders!
"What you should - and should't - add to coffee" - really? There are actually the guidelines along those lines?
A pair of deer crossed the Golden Gate Bridge - I wonder if they wanted to march across San Fran, demanding Pelosi's recall as the complete embarrassment for the city.
"Selena Gomez departs Toronto without Justin Bieber" - no comment.
And, finally, after a whole bunch of speculation and discussion of the minute details, it's official - Kate is pregnant again, and Georgie is due to become a big brother.

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! The weather is great for an August day in NY.
Sniff might have missed me because he sleeps on my bed every night despite my kicking habits. George decided that he does not like chicken anymore - of fish, for that matter.
There is an "ABBA Transportation" van outside of my window - someone has a nice sense of humor.
Big news!! Brangelina is finally married!!! Mazal Tov! That has been soooooo long coming!
Trending at #8 is Kanye West - because he and Kim "Epitomize Glamour, Celebrity". They also epitomize the stupidity of our generation.
"Miley Cyrus's date for VMAs turns himself in to police" - I almost feel bad for her.
Texans like everything as big as their state - "a Texas brewery releases a container (of beer) that takes at least two people to carry, and even more to finish off."
"10 essentials for turning a dorm room into a home" - number one essential would be the absence of college kids.
"Kendall Jenner drops last name for career" - " I want to be taken seriously". Yea, nothing aids in being taken seriously as parading around mostly naked.
"The Audacity of Taupe" - our dear comrade Hussein showed up in strange looking "light-colored summer suit". THAT immediately grabbed everyone's attention!
Bieber keeps professing love to Selena, and she, in turn, went with him to Canada - to meet his mommy?

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Monday! It's hot, but not humid - not bad for August in NY.
This morning missed an opportunity of taking a great shot of our cats waiting for their breakfast - the scene was simply priceless.
Still did not refill our booze supplies.
Currently trending at #6 is Solange Knowles - because, after "rocking" the red carpet at the MTV VMAs, she was "MIA". Well, duh - Jay Z was there! I guess she did not feel like having another public fight.
Selena Gomez is at # 2 - for reasons unknown; but it looks like her fans are called "Selenators". This generation really scares me sometimes...
Scott Disick is at # 8 - because he "Insists He Is No Longer A Boozing Creeper". Look at the previous statement.
Kris Jenner is at # 9 because she and her grandkids "Do San Diego Zoo". My mom also took her grandkids to the zoo, but they did not "Do It", and, for some reasons, it did not make the news.
Eva Longoria is at # 10 - because she is scheduled to appear at in the three episodes of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. So it looks like she will take time out of her very busy schedule of campaigning for the rights of illegals and dedicate some of it to her mediocre acting.
In the news of hairdos is Justin Timberlake - who "shows highlights".
Latest wardrobe malfunction - Nicki Minaj at the above-mentioned VMAs.
"Police helicopter catches marriage proposal" - man, that must have been some proposal! Really hope she said "yes".
"Easy, foolproof mayo recipe" - go to the store, get a jar of Hellman's on sale.
"Justin Bieber was reportedly caught up in the shooting at Chris Brown's pre-VMA party" - since no one was really hurt at that bash, the world of music suffered tremendous loses.
Coffee this morning in my striped glass from Target.
This morning missed an opportunity of taking a great shot of our cats waiting for their breakfast - the scene was simply priceless.
Still did not refill our booze supplies.

MORNING UPDATE - August 22, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! The weather is more August-like than last week's, but still decent.
George is sitting on my window and observing the local fauna. Sniff decided that this particular pastime merits his attention, and tried to give George claustrophobia attack, so was promptly dispatched to another window, where he is happily observing the said fauna.
The crazy upstairs is alive and operational.
It was recently brought to my attention that while I was away, Baby Bro hosted one of his friends with whom they celebrated the above mentioned friend's 21st birthday. As a result, we have practically no booze in the house - that must have been some celebration.
Only one TV was operational - on some kind of Spanish channel and muted!! Yippeee!!!
Currently trending at #2 is thigh bone on Mars - the remains of mysterious alien civilization? Could they possibly be older than ours so Al Sharpton can stop bloviating about all the supposed superior contributions of Africa and Africans?
Kendall Jenner is at #6 - as she and her dear sister Kylie "went all Western" for some kind of magazine shoot and launched "New Shoe, Clothing Collection". I guess after little darlings went half-naked and sans unmentionables few weeks ago, it's really hard to top that one.
Mariah and Nick officially split up - please get your hankies ready!
"Nickii Minaj breaks Miley Cyrus video record" - as Baby Bro likes to say, that is just all kinds of wrong.
Speaking of which, "Dominican Republic bans Miley Cyrus concerts" - because "she undertakes acts that go against morals and customs." Take that, liberal idiots, who keep accusing our country of being controlled by moral police.
Chilean sea bass is the latest supposedly healthy food that turns out to be "not good for you" - yea, yea, yea...whatever.
"August 25 is a great day for cheap flights" - good to know. Aruba, here I come!
"Justin Bieber finally shaves his 'stache" - wow, where was I when he grew one?!!
Coffee this morning in disposable cup from the bagel shop next to the blissfully almost quite laundromat.

MORNING UPDATE - August 15, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! The weather is still pretty decent - especially for August. Sniff is sleeping in the cat house, and George is sleeping on my bed.
Thanks to the geniuses that wired our apartment I can either use a coffeemaker or a microwave - but not both at the same time.
USA "lost its top spot as the most visited country" to - drum roll please - France! I guess people really like to see what muslim occupation can do to a somewhat civilized nation. Russian Federation is at # 9 - the uncontrollable desire to see what an insane asylum looks like?
"Trump's other daughter" - hell, Marla's daughter is 20?!! I feel so damn old!
"How to julienne veggies" - oh, for pete's sake! You get a gadget and you do it!
"Scuba from your computer" - no, thank you; I would rather scuba in Aruba.
"Get the most from vacation" - oh, give me a break! It's a vacation!!! Just enjoy!
"Can hunger be turned on and off?" - yea, if you eat, you are not hungry; if you don't eat, you are!
"Could video games be used to fight depression?" - I think that's already a given.
"Plane trouble forces Kerry to fly commercial" - ah, poor John! At least he reduced his carbon footprint, if not his disastrous impact on the global politics.
Bieber was "seen" attending Bible study with Selena - wow! I guess now I have seen everything.
Coffee this morning in my US Virgin Islands mug.

MORNING UPDATE - August 14, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Thursday! The weather is unusually beautiful for NY August - if this is global cooling, I am taking it!
Sniff was running around the house as if possessed by the devil, and is now taking a noisy bath on my bed. George is doing the same thing, but quietly.
The crazy upstairs is relentless in performance of her routine, although my sis claims that the said individual moved into her building as someone was vacuuming there for about 2 hours nonstop.
Baby Bro warned me in advance, claiming that seeing page 3 of the latest Glamour is guaranteed to raise my hackles. All it did raise was my incredulity - as page 3 proofed that Hillary Clinton is still very much a feminist icon.
And speaking of Hillary - according to the new revelations from the Secret Service, being assigned to her is "a form of punishment" and "no worse assignment". Well, once a menace, always a menace.
Currently trending at #1 is Valerie Bertinelli - for reasons completely unknown and shrouded in mystery.
Scott Disick is at #2 - because he is "Obsessed With Burgher King's Chicken Fries". Wait - he was not running around naked anywhere and/or did not sleep with anyone's wife, and he jumps to #2? I guess food preferences are also extremely important.
Halle Berry is at #10 as today is her 48th birthday - come on, give the birthday girl the first spot!
"King of Pop dethroned" - "Nicki Minaj tops Michael Jackson". This if from the "scary and scarier" files.
"North West makes her modeling debut" - as I said before, having her parents is also "a form of punishment".
"Why Khloe Kardashian Might Fire Kris Jenner as Her Manager" - who dives a rat's tail about this one?
"OJ Simpson Has Kim Kardashian Pics On His Prison Wall" - I really don't want to know more.
"Cups you can compost - or eat" - enviros are on the warpath again.
And, finally, Kate was "spotted" while she was "hunting" for the bargain clothes for Georgie - no such news regarding parteigenosse Michelle.

MORNING UPDATE - July 6. 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Sunday! Shavua Tov! It's hot, but still not as bad as in New York. Snow looks like she is enjoying the grass way too much. Last week I finally meat Chippy.
Prince William is currently trending at # 1 because he, together with wife and bro "kicked off Tour de France". At least they are easy on the eyes, unlike Some Who Should Not Be Named.
Malia Obama is at # 4 - for reasons unknown.
L.A. "unveils first pot farmer's market" - good for them! Of course, it had to be "farmer's market", or it won't be in the true traditions of L.A.
"Pope Francis: Not working on Sundays is good" - well, with all due respect, duh!!
"Kardashain style face-off" - "Kris Jenner raids her daughter's closet". Ah, grow up already!
"Smoldering" "Simpson ties the knot" - finally! Mazal Tov!
"College towns to retire to" - and be surrounded by all the stinking liberal tenured profs?!! Thanks, but no, thanks.
"Diego Maradona angry at refs" - dude, at your age, watch your blood pressure!
In honor of July 4th, Selena Gomez broke up with Justin Bieber once again - this is getting beyond soap opera status.
Coffee in the M & M mug, which was staring at me all this time.

MORNING UPDATE, June 30, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Monday! It's hot again. Snow jumped over the neighbor's fence - to eat her rival's Friskies?
Idiot-proof stuff eludes me - after being unable to remember how to make videos on my camera, switched the phone to camera mode. Now have to take pictures with camera only as still don't remember how to switch to video, and use the phone for videos only as unable to figure out how to switch back to pictures.
Currently trending at # 1 is Kendall Jenner - because it looks like she was drinking at her sister's Khloe birthday party. Big deal - at least she was dressed.
"Choosing the perfect brush for your hair" - you go to the drug store or Target, look at brushes, get the cheapest one, and you are done. You don't need a whole article on this!
Jessica Simpson was "sizzling" again - please, save it for the winter! Too effin hot right now!
"Uproar over Hilary Clinton's speaking fees" - just the fees? Not her deeds and not the fact that she is still not in jail and is invited to speak at college campuses instead?
"Challenges for Washington's legal pot industry" - what effin challenges? Just run a bunch of ads in New York to the tune of "come and smoke MJ legally". Challenges, my foot.
"Celebs who defy aging" - oh, please! Find me "real people" who defy aging, then we will talk.
"Delectable desserts across the U.S." - did parteigenosse Michelle approve of any of them?
If you have an extra 25 mil stashed somewhere, you can buy Heidi Klum's LA house.
And, finally, it looks like I totally mastered the art of using the coffee maker.

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Sunday! Shavua Tov! Happy Rosh Chodesh! Ladies, please make sure to rest smile emoticon
The heat wave is on. Snow is snoozing in the shade.
Just saw a hummingbird!
Currently trending at # 2 is Hilary Clinton - because Time Magazine did a special on her with the following subtitle: "Since childhood, the former Secretary of State's Methodist beliefs have inspired public service and private devotion". I don't think they were dipping into half-legal MJ; this smells of heroin addiction - or possible lobotomy that a lot of progressives seem to have gotten.
And speaking of MJ - "Washington braces for serous pot shortage". Oh, come on, people! Just grow some more - or get from other states!
More in drug news: "Christie makes war on drugs personal" - I guess his diet has gone to his head ( and not in a good way). Just give the guy a donut and point out the really important issues.
"Kim K.'s plunging dress" - what else is new? When she does wear something that would be approved by the baptist ladies, then it will be truly shocking.
"Beyonce, Jay-Z flush Bieber mugshot at concert" - I don't even want to delve into this one.
"The essence of the modern bath" - uh, it's a place where you - how to put it delicately - bathe?
"Study: Kate Middleton Has a Perfect Nose" - you actually need to conduct a whole study on this one?!!

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Thursday! It's really hot outside, but not so bad in the shade. Snow is sunning herself while a cute kitten came to claim her breakfast.
My nephew served as a volunteer animal control representative recently by being asked to remove a chameleon from a neighbor's apartment.
Goodreads continues to entertain - their latest suggestion is Essential Manners for Men based on - guess what? The fact that I read The Prince!
Currently trending at # 1 is Kanye West - because he is still wearing a necklace in honor of his daughter's first birthday and because he avoided doing really stinky community service by teaching fashion at LA Trade Technical College. Nice move, Kanye!
Trending at # 3 is George Stephanopoulos - for winning "ABC's 'Chief Anchor Crown". I don't know which one is more pathetic - the award or the winner.
Paris Hilton nearly missed her flight because of the abundance of her luggage - breaking piece of world news that one is.
"Right, wrong way to tie laces" - the only phrase that comes to mind is "have a lobotomy".
"Red wine that pairs perfectly with pizza" - it's wine and it's pizza! Just enjoy it - without turning into the Crane brothers!
Katy Perry just shot to the first place because she demonstrated at least 3 times that she loves America. How? By promoting Hillary, by calling Biden "Q-T" on the Instagram, and probably by supporting Obama - I think America can do without this tender loving.
"Inside Kim Kardashian's romantic honeymoon" - spare me the details.
No news on the Bieber front.
And, finally, I sort of figured out how to use the coffee machine.

MORNING UPDATE - June 25, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Wednesday! It's getting hotter and hotter outside. Snow nibbled on her breakfast and left the rest for her competition.
I got a little scared when I thought my phone stopped taking pictures - then I realized that it is just totally confused about date and time, hence is just storing pictures out of order. Reginald, on the other hand, is not confused at all. He is firmly planted in NY, supplying with me Brooklyn weather reports.
Currently trending at # 1 is Solange Knowles - because she is engaged to someone named Alan Ferguson. Congratulations! Let's hope Beyonce will not beat him up in a elevator one of these days.
The creator of cronut came up with a new summer treat - quick! Hide it from parteigenosse Michelle! Especially if you consider that her hubby just escaped her clutches go get himself a burrito.
"Gosling's heartthrob road" - got to really delve into this one as the reason for his being a heartthrob still escapes me.
Queen Elizabeth visited the iron throne from the Game of Thrones - but refused to "try it on for size". I sort of don't blame her.
"Do we really need a law to ban tiger selfies?" - according to our dear NY state legislators, we apparently do. They are trying to protect people from stupidity - but who will protect us from the stupidity of the public servants?
And speaking of so-called public servants - in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act Boehner, Pelosi, McConnell and Read had a "Kumbaya on The Hill". Well, at least once in a blue moon they are useful as we all got a good laugh out of this one.
"Tips for buying a new TV" - who in the world is still buying TVs?!
And, finally, Bieber was spotted buying expensive jewelry for Selena -whatever rocks their boat.

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Tuesday! The sun is shining once again. Was trying to figure out whose cat was eating Snow's food - turned out it was next door neighbor's ( I guess our Friskies is tastier).
Got medium eggs instead of large after trying to figure out why the same 18 eggs cost differently - language barriers.
Currently trending at # 1 is Bruce Jenner - because he got highlights!
Trending at # 7 is Nick Cannon - because he and Mariah Carey might be "headed for divorce". Why? Because of her younger selfie? And, more importantly, who wants to know?
J. Lo. refused to remain heartbroken and was spotted with a new flame - Maxim Chmerkovskiy. I wonder if their dancing styles really mesh well.
Hayden Panettiere is the latest celebrity to go on a Babymoon - a nice vacation in the middle of pregnancy. I wonder how many plain mortal preggos would like to follow suit.
"Obama encouraging family-friendly work policies" - trying to figure out how many of his underpaid female staffers are working on this one.
"Michelle Obama won't pursue politics" - on behave of my country let me just say "Phew!".
"Pub-crawling through the Magic Kingdom" - ah, come on, people! Magic Kingdom is fun even when you are solo and sober (speaking from personal experience)!
"Selena Gomez: Helping Justin Bieber Become His Old Sweet Self Again" - good luck with that one!
And, finally, "Prince George Beats Kate Middleton for Title of Best-Dressed Royal" - I guess Kate went the same route all mothers do and played "dress the dolly" with her first child to perfection.

MORNING UPDATE - June 23, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Monday! The weather is nice and hot. Snow managed to get up close and personal with her favorite human.
Going to a library that's located inside a community center is an interesting experience.
Tom Hanks is currently trending at # 1 because he is producing a new film that will be directed by Meg Ryan - I guess they missed each other since the Mail.
Mariah Carey is at # 2 - as she was "accused of tweeting 1997 photo as present-day selfie". Ah, give her a break! So, she wanted to delight her fans, big deal.
Sofia Vergara is at # 5 - because her friendship with Ellen is making Portia jealous. Um, Portia, if your side is to be believed, people are born straight or otherwise, so, no need to be jealous.
Michael Douglas was "spotted" in King David hotel in Jerusalem this weekend, as he and his wife were celebrating their son's Bar Mitzvah - drat, the festivities were only a bus ride away!
"Sizzling Jessica Simpson" - I hope nobody got burned.
"How to keep cool without air conditioning" - by getting rid of all the environmentalists and their idiocy.
"Celebrities and their pregnancy cravings" - most of the listed ones claim to crave fruits, veggies, and fish. Give me a break!
It's been five years since Jon and Kate split up, but they still "hurl insults on each other" - class all the way.
North West had a first birthday "bash" that included Ferris wheel and a concert stage - I wonder what kind of enjoyment a one year old would derive from this nonsense.
And, finally, "The Guy Who Married Kate Middleton Turns 32" and his grandma gave him a helicopter for this occasion - happy birthday, Will!

Mariah Carey is at # 2 - as she was "accused of tweeting 1997 photo as present-day selfie". Ah, give her a break! So, she wanted to delight her fans, big deal.
Sofia Vergara is at # 5 - because her friendship with Ellen is making Portia jealous. Um, Portia, if your side is to be believed, people are born straight or otherwise, so, no need to be jealous.
Michael Douglas was "spotted" in King David hotel in Jerusalem this weekend, as he and his wife were celebrating their son's Bar Mitzvah - drat, the festivities were only a bus ride away!
"Sizzling Jessica Simpson" - I hope nobody got burned.
"How to keep cool without air conditioning" - by getting rid of all the environmentalists and their idiocy.
"Celebrities and their pregnancy cravings" - most of the listed ones claim to crave fruits, veggies, and fish. Give me a break!
It's been five years since Jon and Kate split up, but they still "hurl insults on each other" - class all the way.
North West had a first birthday "bash" that included Ferris wheel and a concert stage - I wonder what kind of enjoyment a one year old would derive from this nonsense.
And, finally, "The Guy Who Married Kate Middleton Turns 32" and his grandma gave him a helicopter for this occasion - happy birthday, Will!
MORNING UPDATE - June 22, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Sunday! Shavua Tov! Wishing all of you a fantastic week! The weather is beautiful - it's nice, sunny, and breezy, and not a cloud in sight.
Snow rejected chicken for reasons unknown, but happily consumed the yogurt that was spiced up with Super Snack by my darling niece and later pronounced moldy.
Currently trending at # 2 is Matt Damon - who would not be back for the next installment of the Bourne saga. The said sorry tidings are indeed a stain on the history of art - together with the entire Bourne saga.
"Best ways to eat lobster" - um, the way you like it?
Pope excommunicated Sicilian mafia - how about Nancy Pelosi?
"Why extreme diets are fundamentally flawed" - you actually need an explanation for that one?!
"Jessica Simpson Wears Little Black Dress, Continues Having Toned Calves" - a load off our chests! Since she "continues having toned calves", the Earth can continue spinning around the sun.
Bieber and Gomez had another date night - once again paging local psychiatric help.
"Buckingham Palace defends spending 4m (pounds) on refurbishing Kate and Will's flat" - seriously?!! Big deal! What's like a little weekend date night for Hussein and Michelle!

MORNING UPDATE - June 18, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Wednesday! The temperatures are still climbing. Snow is sunning herself and ignoring the birds that are singing around her.
Currently trending at # 1 is Jenny McCarthy - because she and Donnie Wahlberg "Talk Wedding Plans". Does that translate into another book?
Catherine Zeta-Jones is trending at # 2 - because Michael Douglas admitted that "he took her for granted". Admit it to her, you moron, not to the reporters.
"What spoiled Kim Kardashian's honeymoon" - who gives a flying banana?
"Halle Berry sparkles in curve-hugging dress" - mighty empowering.
"For peace of mind consumers should look for the "USDA Organic" seal (on body care products), a specialist says" - the said specialist can take any and all "USDA Organic" seals from food and body care products and stick it where the sun does not shine.
Mike Sorrentino, aka The Situation of the Jersey Shore fame, got arrested for fighting with his brother at the family tanning salon - interesting family squabbles.
"One man's quest for fast-food perfection" - entertaining date he would make.
Chanel No. 5 has 80 ingredients, "including one that blossoms in France only three weeks a year" - is that the one that gives it a distinct stink that produces headaches?
"Prices for US consumers rise significantly" - ya think?!!! Where were you for the past 5 years?!
"Uruguay national team's dulce de leche shipment confiscated by Brazilian authorities" - this takes the term "bureaucratic stupidity" to a whole new level.
And, finally, Kate is scheduled to meet a woman who worked as a decoder with her paternal grandmother during the WWII - I really envy the Brits sometimes! The granny of their princess was actively involved in the defeat of the Nazis; the grandmother of our prez was a commie! Plus, to add insult to injury, the mother of our so-called first lady supposedly never served cake to her kids!
Coffee this morning in the other flowery mug.

MORNING UPDATE - June 17, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Tuesday! The weather is getting yucky and summery. Snow is in competition with George as to who complains about their food more (or louder).
My enjoyment of doing laundry flabbergasted yet another person.
Ben Affleck is currently trending at # 1 due to his "New Batman Bod" - big whoop.
"Malia Obama works on set of TV series" - learning to actually earn her own money? Shocking.
Yet another report published, claiming that quality of healthcare in US is lower than in England - I guess the researches got into painkillers - often.
Jenner sisters' outfits are still rocking the news 2 days after the fact.
Miley Cyrus also continues to rock with another batch of scandalous photos.
North West had a "diamond-studded first birthday" - considering whom she is saddled with as parents, this is one of these instances where money does not buy happiness.
Our dear mayor was singing "I Love LA" - LA is welcome to him in any capacity.
"Justin Bieber cleared in robbery, but egging charge nears" - fascinating.
Coffee today in one of two flowery mugs.

MORNING UPDATE - June 6, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! After enduring a few days of summer haze, we got another beautiful day outside!
The battle for the superiority of the cat house is raging on, but George is still ahead of the game.
The crazy upstairs is doing her usual - and I respond with the shredder-running and bubble wrap popping.
Happy National Donut Day! It is especially important to our people after 2 day marathon eating of cheesecakes, blintzes, cheese and lasagna!
D-Day is currently trending at # 4 - gee, am I surprised! It actually made it into top ten!
Breaking news! Her Supreme Disgustiness, Hilary Rodham Clinton, is going to grace my work place this coming Wednesday - very happy I would not be on duty that day, otherwise it would have definitely resulted in something involving rotten tomatoes.
Trending at #8 is Jane Fonda - who was "celebrated" or some such. Again, being a traitor pays.
Jennifer Lopez and her boy toy split up - my heart bleeds borsch.
"Tricks to staying comfy on a long flight" - you just get yourself a ticket in the first class.
"'Frozen' frenzy creates tourism boom in Norway" - Disney works its magic yet again!
Hayden Panetierre joins the long line of preggo celebs - awaiting for the photos of her maternity fashion with baited breath.
Denzel Washington is "eyeing" the remake of Magnificent Seven - another classic slated to be ruined.
Nothing new on the Bieber front.
Coffee this morning in my black glass from Target.

MORNING UPDATE - June 3, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Tuesday! Happy Erev Shavuot! The weather is fantastic! George is hunting birds - this time on the different window sill. Sniff is hunting neighbors.
Yesterday saw a woman wearing last year's Payless shoes - affront to the fashion!
Also recently had a customer who tried to sneak into kids' bathroom by claiming that the usual men's room had a big line - at least something new and original.
Currently trending at #2 is Kelly Clarkson - who is about to have a baby "amid cheating rumors". Good luck to the kid!
"Improve cheap meat's taste" - another sign of great economy.
"How to charm your date with humor" - seriously?!!
"Justin Bieber apologizes for racist joke" - another one bites the dust.
Kate Upton's photoshopped armpits are still making waves.
A couple of geeks decided to "geek" their wedding with Lego cake and Yoda's appearance (among other fun touches) - wonder what the guests were wearing.

MORNING UPDATE - May 30, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! Happy Rosh Chodesh Sivan! Ladies, I know that as it's Friday, my urging to take it easy today would fall on death ears - but still remind your hubbies that they owe you presents smile emoticon
The weather is magnificent! George was very active this morning - after demanding fresh food he played with his tail, and then continued to complain for a while. It took about ten minutes to figure out that he was demanding to be petted on my bed. Sniff is enjoying fresh air and giving stink eye to the local barbarians.
Yesterday had to tidy up after someone who apparently decided to master French while sitting in the cafe.
The crazy upstairs is alive and well.
Daniel Radcliffe debuts in romantic comedy - considering the general quality of this genre lately, plus the quality of HP movies, I am not running to watch this particular cinematic offering.
"Best fried chicken in U.S." - argggg!!! Stop teasing me!!!!
Patrick Stewart turned out to be a "soccer fanatic" - as the revelations go concerning fave celebs, that is just totally tame and enjoyable.
"J. Lo.'s steamy new video" - did she ever produce anything none-steamy?
"Why bacon smells so good" - because I can't have it!!
"Zuckerberg, wife donate $120M to Calif. schools" - at least they are throwing their own money down the drain.
"Measles cases rising" - gee, what a surprise! Between the brilliant celebs who advocate against vaccination and the constant influx of illegals, you still have to analyze why this happened?!!
"House backs GOP plan on school lunches" - thank you once again, parteigenosse Michelle! School lunches on the level of Congressional debate - simply inspired!
Justin Bieber's new song "Looking For You" is about.....Selena! Wow, what a surprise!
And, finally, Kimye "have landed in yet another European city rich with history and culture" - ah, culture! Something that both of them desperately lack.
Coffee this morning in my huge Pooh and Friends mug.

MORNING UPDATE - May 28, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Wednesday! It's cool and cloudy once again - no complains here. Cats are asleep. Earlier Sniff tried to eat some of my melted butter, and George was licking the defrosting chicken.
Yesterday had to venture into the parts of Brooklyn that I don't usually venture into - and remembered once again why I don't, well, venture there; and yes, hipster Billy Bourgh is on the list as well.
The news that are still on everyone's mind - Kanye and Kim wed over the weekend, and embarked on their honeymoon! The Post summarized it the best, ending with "The republic still stands."
Currently trending at #1 is Leah Remini who claimed that her family is stronger since leaving Scientology - duh!
Trending at #2 is Robert Pattinson - who revealed whenever he is still in contact with Kristen Stewart. Judging by the fact that that tidbit went to #2, some people are still interested in this.
"Qatar Urges Tourists to Dress Modestly When Coming to Town for the World Cup" - aside from the obvious question as to who is idiotic enough to go to Qatar for anything, I would like to suggest a counter-proposal: could we please "urge" the visitors to our shores to bath and use deodorant?
Some enterprising dude ordered himself a Starbucks drink which included 60 shots of espresso and would have set him back for almost 55 bucks - how sleepy was he?!!
Justin Bieber "hooked up" with some kind of Victoria's Secret model named Adriana Lima - a perfect combination of beauty and brains.
Elle photoshoped Kate Upton's armpits - one of the many reasons I cancelled my subscription to Elle.
And, finally, there is an online quiz that will tell you exactly how big of a fan of Jennifer Lawrence are you - just in case you are interested.
Coffee this morning in my glass mug from LA's Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf.

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! The weather is still cloudy and strange, but bearable.
George thinks that the only reason I enter my room is to get in bed with him to pet and snuggle. Sniff, meanwhile, just sits by the door and looks at me with an almost adoring expression.
Two TVs were blessedly silent, and the third on had Telemundo on - on one hand, just a meaningless chatter; on the other hand - in freaking Spanish.
Meanwhile, in the parking lot, there was a huge white SUV with plates that read something like MAKEMAGIC and two oldish bearded Jews inside.
Currently trending at #2 is Gwen Stefani - because she took her son to some kind of baby class. Making sure her progeny develops brains that are absent in parents?
Trending at #4 is Jennifer Lawrence - because she admitted to bringing Slim Jims to the Oscars. My question is - where the heck was she hiding them?
Trending at #10 is someone called Katharine McPhee - because she filed for a divorce. Considering the commonality of celeb divorces, I totally understand why it's only on the 10th place.
"How a great vacation can change your life" - you actually had to write a whole article about it?!
"Completely giving up plastic products sounds great for the environment, but the reality is different" - duh!!!
"Foods that are good for you - and the planet" - oh, hell, here we go again!
"Man takes a moose to the coffee shop" - very original (although the article claims that it's normal in Canada).
"Using ancient myths to help modern warriors heal" - how about privatizing VA instead?
A huge turtle crushed wedding ceremony in St. Croix - but this wedding crusher was more than welcome.
The latest on Bieber is not to be repeated for the small children and the faint of heart.
The Queen, Will, and Kate will travel to France for the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day - at least one head of state who actually wore the uniform during the war and assisted in the war efforts.
Coffee this morning in the disposable cup from the usual overpriced place.

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Wednesday! It's gotten cloudy outside, but still not bad.
George consumed some onion skins; Sniff loves hot foods - he consumed spicy sauce off a piece of beef, and ignored the beef itself.
The kid that does not like his nanny manifested his displeasure yet again.
Yet another customer expressed her displeasure at the absence of Allegiant in soft cover - followed by a five minute lecture of how books are so expensive.
Currently trending at #2 is Malia Obama - because her mommy warned the public that her daughter will be driving this summer. Considering how much damage her parents are inflicting, I predict a serious raise in insurance premiums.
Khloe Kardashian is trending at #8 - because she went to Universal with her boyfriend and posed for pictures with Marvel characters. As usual, earth-shattering.
"Rethinking six 'bad' carbs" - how about not listening to any of this moronisms to begin with?
"Study: Climate Change threatens 6 US Landmarks" - fact: climate change specialists are wreaking havoc on US economy.
Kim Kardashian just jumped to #9 with her pre-wedding diet, which somehow includes ice cream and pasta - did we just move to Mauritania?
"Lea Michele sheds good girl image in sultry video" - how extremely original of her.
"Justin Bieber goes shirtless" - another episode of extreme originality.

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Tuesday! The weather is simply fabulous! Kitties decided to ambush me by the shower door - what precisely they needed, though, still remains a mystery. And yesterday they both run to greet me after work - which more than made up for the absence of cold beer.
Yesterday had to deal with a customer who demanded to see the summer reading list.
"Kimye Wedding countdown: a Look Back at Kanye West' Old Flames" - spare me both, please!
"What a Godzilla expert thinks about the new film" - there is such a thing as Godzilla expert? Wow, live and learn!
"Horoscope inspired trips" - gullible moron alert.
Charlize Theron is officially romantically involved with Sean Penn - paging local psychiatric hotline.
"China bans Windows 8 on government computers" - just because they can.
A "transit nerd" took his girl on the tour of Manhattan underground in order to propose - very romantic.
Speaking of romance, Justin Bieber and Paris Hilton "are not banging" - phew! What a load off!
And, finally, Vogue was talking about Kate Upton and the "return of the bosom"; return of the brains and class - not so much.

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! It's cloudy and cold once again - but as long as it's not muggy and hot, I am OK with it.
George and Sniff are hibernating; Mr. Hamilton wakes up occasionally to complain about the freshness of his food, and Mr. Sniffles keeps attacking my bubble wrap.
It recently came to me that crazy upstairs probably thinks of me as crazy downstairs as I tend run the shredder in my bedroom.
Yesterday a customer was trying to explain to me what autobiography is - as in, if he is looking for an autobiography of a certain person, the book should be authored by that person.
Currently trending at #1 is Shannen Doherty - because she addressed "Jason Priestly Diva Claims in Memoir"; oh, the heartbreak of every single 90210 fan who loved Brenda and Brandon!
Justin Bieber is only at #9, with the first news item titled "Justin Bieber responds to robbery accusation" - I guess all his other achievements were not enough.
Kim and Kanye are scheduled to hold their wedding reception on the 24th of this month, in some kind of fort in Florence - Italians, we will keep your mafia! You can keep Kimye - pretty please!
"Common Core called 'Satan's handiwork'" - well, it's not really Satan, just his disciples.
Cheese is the most shoplifted food in the world!
If you have a little cash to invest in real estate, the original Dracula Castle in Transylvania is up for sale.
And, finally, Kate and Will are scheduled to visit Scotland, which "holds special place in their hearts" as they met while studying there.

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Tuesday! This is the first report that I am producing on my new computer - thank you, Baby Bro! You are simply the best brother in the whole wide world!
The weather is almost appropriate for the middle of May - enjoying every single drop of it.
George is the almost undisputed king of the cat house and the air conditioner box. Sniff deserves a huge round of applause - he managed to get out from under the sink cabinet all on his own yesterday! And today he played a mashgiah to our super.
Yesterday was assigned to organizing the chess section - which exercise proved that the chess aficionados are just as much the swine as the rest of our customers.
Currently trending at #1 is Bruce Jenner - because he sent flowers for his ex for the Mother's Day! Aww, how delightful! Especially considering how wonderful the kiddies turned out...
