I spent most of the past summer in Israel. And, since I periodically complain about the monotony and boredom that is my life, Fate decided to show me once again the meaning of that old Chinese proverb and thrust me in the middle of the "interesting time". Allow me to elaborate.
You see, my arrival into the Holy Land coincided with the kidnapping of Eyal, Naftali, and Gilad (may The Heavenly Father avenge their blood), so I was in the think of it all - including the "conflict". Let me tell you: it is one thing to know about the South of Israel being under constant rocket attacks - and quite another to actually feel a portion of it yourself; this was definitely a case of nothing beating personal experience.
But my short story is not about the war and the rocket fire; it is about my wonderful niece, Mini Beloved Sibling, who at that time was eight and a half.
As a mentioned many times before, she and her siblings are normal kids: which means they fight - a lot. But when push comes to shove and something bad is threatening them, they come together - and MBS shows time and again that she is a worthy member of the club. Three episodes from that summer stuck in my mind.
The first one happened one night when we decided to put them all to sleep in the mamad (the fortified room in the apartment that serves as a bomb shelter). So, Curly had to share the bed with Fluffy (her younger sister). Ordinarily, there would have been no end of complains: she is kicking me; I am uncomfortable; why do I have to share a bed with her; she is taking too much space; ect., etc., etc. But that night our big girl came through - she just found a comfortable position and went to sleep without a peep.
The second one also happened at night - but at that time they were not sleeping in the mamad when the siren went off. So, MBS jumped out of her mother's bed (where she was allowed to be to protect the peace, so to speak), and immediately went into action. "Mommy, the Baby!" - she wanted to make sure that her newborn sister was safe. Then she darted into her room and saw that her brother was peacefully sleeping on the top of the bank bed. "SiM! SiM is sleeping on top! We need to wake him!" It took a little while for my sister to actually calm her down and send her to mamad with a promise that her brother would be taken care of - the same brother with whom she fights daily; scratch that - hourly!
And the third episode occurred when I took the Munchkins to the concert at the local equivalent of a community center. Here we were, enjoying a funny guy who could play music on practically anything - buckets, bottles, strings, bottle covers...and then the siren went off. Curly jumped out of her chair, run to the front of the audience where her one year old sister was sitting on the floor, grabbed her, foisted her on her hip for a better grip, and then turned to me: "Papi, where do we run?!"
As I sit here typing this, I still get chocked up. May the Heavenly Father guard you and your loving heart, our beautiful little girl!

MORNING UPDATE - February 28, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! It's sunny and freezing outside - Phil, you are very lucky that you are not easily accessible by NY public transportation!
Yet another person recently inquired if our felines are a special breed - because they are so huge. Nope, just American-food-available-in-great-quantities-mutts variety. Psychotic, but still mutts, er, American short hair, that is.
The crazy upstairs is warming up with her usual.
Currently trending at #1 is Janet Jackson - because the rumors about her divorce are "not true". I guess she is still ecstatically happy with her muslim husband.
Trending at #2 is Jada Pinkett Smith - because she "Flaunts Fuller Figure". Considering her usual size, that's not a great achievement - not top 2 anyway.
Trending at #7 is Jeff Goldblum - as he is "back for Independence Day 2". I wonder from whom they will be saving the world this time - as, considering Hollywood's general trends, the obvious targets would not be used.
Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are engaged - wow! What a surprise - we so did not see this one coming!
"How to dress for Oscars" - the more skin shows, the better (only for women, of course).
R-Patz got himself a new favorite co-star - and it's a cow (literally)!
"Cook dinner in a coffee pot" - OK, how small is your apartment already?!!
Washington, DC, is considered "the most literate city" in the US - did you sneak to Denver first before pronouncing that?!!!
Dr. Seuss went to Dartmouth and was caught drinking in his dorm during Prohibition - well, that's amusing to know.
And, finally, our dear city reportedly has 136,000 potholes - let's see how long it would take our dear, poor people loving mayor, to repair them.
Coffee this morning in my clear funky glass from Target.

MORNING UPDATE - February 27, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Thursday! Well, it was sunny, then snowing, then sunny again - and, of course, another "severe weather advice", this time about very cold temperatures and extra strong winds.
George likes to sit on my desk, especially on the spot usually reserved for my laptop. Sniff found himself a new relaxing position - balancing between the cat house and the radiator.
The crazy upstairs is - well, you know.
Yesterday horrified a costumer by offering him Tom Sawyer as a great, "gender-neutral" book to teach to a class of ten-year olds.
The Di Blasio voters continue to experience buyer's remorse - as he is planning to evict 3 charter schools from their space in the public schools. One of those schools happens to be in Harlem - so much for the bleeding heart for the poor.
Sandra Bullock is trending at #8 - because it looks like she would make 70 mil for Gravity. Well, as long as she does not join the "rich do not pay enough taxes" crowd, let her enjoy them (the money, that is).
According to latest reports, juicing can help you ward off colds and flu - wow! How original!
Robin Thicke's wife is "smiling after the split" - well, why not?
"Bieber's booking video released by prosecutors" - whoever wants to watch it has way too much time on his hands.
And, finally, Will and Kate are still looking for a new nanny.
Coffee this morning in my Get A Grip mug.

MORNING UPDATE - February 26, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Wednesday! It's nice and white outside yet again - but at least we are secure in knowing that this year Phil was right. I tried to do a preemptive strike and feed George before he starts complaining, but no dice - he is ignoring his food and getting ready to whine. Sniff is in his demented horse mood - running around like crazy.
The crazy upstairs does not leave her post for anything.
Yesterday came to work to a prominent display of Rush's book - because yet another one of his is coming out soon.
Also yesterday the rumors were flying that our humble establishment was visited by Chris Noth - and I horrified my co-workers by telling them that I despise the dude (and not for his Mr. Big performance).
"How to go from brunette to blonde" - discussion of Julia Roberts and her hair. Nah, thanks, I am staying brunette.
"2 ways to apply blush" - silly me, only applying it one way.
Robin Thicke and wife split - duh! What took her so long?
"Reasons to drink red wine" - why should there be reasons?
Kaley Cuoco has a pet peacock - is he as psychotic as my pets?
Girl Scouts in Colorado are forbidden to sell their cookies outside the pot dispensaries - why?!!! It's a perfect set-up!
And, finally, considering the fact that our boys lost the final hockey match to the Canadians, it looks like we might have to keep Bieber for a while - but, guys, I don't hold it against you. You beat the Russians! After that, I can deal with Bieber for another period of time.
Coffee this morning in my Aruba mug.

MORNING UPDATE - February 21, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! It's still warm! Although there was a "severe fog advisory" for our area (over-rated, by the way), and later in the week there would be more snow - yippee. I don't remember ever washing that many socks for myself at one time - I mean, never before!
This time they had NBS on - blessedly on low, but then another customer showed up, carrying a non-stop phone conversation in a very booming voice. I mean, no peaceful laundry for yours truly, ever!
Sniff was doing his horse, er, cat race routine earlier today, and George is warming up my freshly washed bedding.
The crazy upstairs is at her post.
Currently trending at #4 is mumps outbreak at Fordham - because, you know, vaccinations are evil or something.
Trending at #2 is Mila Kunis, who shared details of her date with Ashton Kutcher. OK, Valentine's is over, unless people need some lame tips for the next year.
Trending at #6 is Lena Dunham - because "she lays smackdown on Jezabel" after that august publication offered ten gs for unretouched images of Dunham's photoshoot for Vogue. Lady, relax - you are an independent, free, empowered woman. So, who cares what you look like without makeup and Photoshop?
Courtney Cox is at #8 due to her vacationing in Venice with her daughter and her new boyfriend. Personally, I would just go to Aruba - alone!
Christina Aguilera is pregnant again - good luck to her future kid!
Bieber's mom can sing - can she also control her idiot offspring?
And, finally, a Welsh artist painted Kate's portrait using food spread and toast.

MORNING UPDATE - February 20, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Thursday! The sun was out today! Combined with above-freezing temperatures! Wow! Unfortunately, too much snow on the ground for flip flops. Sniff still sleeps on the radiator. George finally abandoned his huge Amazon box, and we were finally able to get rid of it.
The crazy upstairs is up to her usual.
Currently trending at #1 is Kimora Simmons - because she "Secretly Married Goldman Sachs Banker". Interesting pairing - and definitely earth-shattering news.
President Bush misses Air Force One, because in 8 years they never lost his luggage - and I miss a President who loved our country and had a nice sense of humor.
Ex-DEA chief claimed that "legal pot is a disaster" - well, duh! With all due respect, I don't think he would be the best person to ask, not being a, well, neutral party to the debate. Meanwhile, the pot tax revenue in Colorado is "higher than expected" - so, duh again!
Tax fraud is on the rise, because, "it's too hard to get caught" doing it - wow! Simply brilliant! Of course IRS has no time or manpower to hunt fraudsters - they are too busy persecuting the enemies of the regime.
"Why US needs Kerry" - what the hell were you smoking before coming up with that headline?
A judge in Miami-Dade county is trying to figure out whenever or not to release all or parts of the video of Biber's arrest - Miami-Dade county has no bigger judicial concerns than Bieber?
And, finally, Prince Charles performed a traditional "spirited Saudi sword dance" - why is this dude still running around instead of dancing in a nice quite padded cell somewhere?
Coffee this morning in my Disney Bean Plush mug with Mickey and Friends.

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.

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! It's below freezing again, but sunny. Some kind of brave bird is singing outside. Sniff briefly hugged the pipe again last night, but then stopped - improved weather report? Lately he likes to sleep on top of my romance boxes. George discovered a new box for himself - so maybe we would be able to finally get rid of his giant Amazon box.
The crazy upstairs got some competition from the outside.
According to Men's Health, watching too much porn impedes memory capabilities - is that why guys have to be reminded ten times that they promised to do something?
Currently trending at #1 is Ryan Phillippe - because he and Reece just sold "shared Los Angeles investment property" even though they have been divorced for 7 years. Oh, the trials and tribulations of rich and famous....
Trending at #2 is Kelly Ripa - because she had to go without make up after loosing the Superbowl bet. Kelly, you should have used something less important as a collateral.
"Biden hints at 2016 run" - at least this one is going to be entertaining.
"Escaping US taxes not as easy as some think" - well, duh!
"Prosecutor gets Justin Bieber egging probe evidence; decision nears" - really do not envy that prosecutor.
And, finally, Kate is writing a forward to "a collection of stories penned by the wives of Royal Air Force servicemen" - cool.

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Thursday! It's freezing again outside, but at least the sun is shining. Sniff keeps trying to join Baby Bro for a smoking break. Yesterday he also wanted to help us unload groceries from the car, and later Sniff and George both played mashgichim for the pantry packing.
Recently got another costumer who for some insane reason thought I would love to hear her talk in Russian.
Currently trending at #2 is Brad Pitt - whose latest family photos with Angelina and the brood we are privileged to see if we so desire; I personally don't.
Trending at #8 is Dwayne Johnson as he is beginning to shoot "new TNT reality series" - sometimes I am grateful that at present I don't have TNT.
Emma Watson painted a "stunning self portrait" - as long as she stays out of politics, I don't care what else she does with her free time.
"Not all of the bathrooms in Sochi are awful" - that headline alone is priceless.
"Even Walmart is too pricey for some Americans" - once again, comrade Hussein, thank you for that!
Selena Gomez spent 2 weeks in rehab for "emotional trauma" - aw, poor little famous brat! When the rest of us suffer from "emotional trauma", we still have to wake up every morning and carry on as if nothing happened.
"Valentine's gifts you definitely won't get this year" - how in blazed do you know what I will and won't get?
"Ashton Kutcher, Charlie Sheen trade harsh words" - I wish both of them would just go away, but I know it's not going to happen any time soon.
"How to watch Olympics" - well, you pick up your remote control, put the TV and cable box on, find the channel that broadcasts it, and watch.
"The most frequently overlooked tax breaks" - not crossing the current administration must top the list.
"Justin Bieber parties on" - gee, what a surprise!

MORNING UPDATE - February 5, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Wednesday! Our fair city is plagues by both the results of the catastrophic global warming and the latest mayoral elections. I was also informed yesterday that by denying global climate change I am denying science.
Sniff is not hugging the pipe yet, which means it's not so cold. George got a hefty doze of catnip last night in order to make him pipe down. He still complained for about an hour, after which we realized that it was his OCD striking again - his fountain was not filled to the brim, hence George was thirsty.
The crazy upstairs is at her post.
Snooki's new baby book is out.
Jennifer Lawrence used to be a model for Abercrombie - interesting, very interesting.
A professor in Austin sold his possessions and is relocating to a dumpster in order to teach environmental science - um, dude, there are pills available for what ails you.
Zuckerberg is not planning to have kids in the near future - sigh of relief for the kids.
"Really bad advice from romantic comedies" - who the hell is taking advice from that?!!
The Queen ordered Kate to "lower her hemlines" - wow! When did she visit BP?

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Tuesday! The horrendous effect of anthropogenic global warming continue to plague our fair city (incidentally, FB does not recognize the word "anthropogenic" - oh, the irony!). Yours truly also continues to impress - yesterday a woman in Greenwich Village was horrified upon gazing at my bare calves towering over my Hot Socks and Baby Bro's snow boots.
Also, students do not make good snow plowers.
George continues to show signs of his OCD by refusing to drink from his fountain unless it is full to the brim. Sniff continues to demolish my hot pink flippies.
Heidi Murkoff also wrote a book called something like What to Expect When Mommy is Expecting a Baby - did not yet have a chance to see the sales records on this one. Fergie (the former princess, not the singer) wrote a children's book against bullying.
Currently trending at #8 is Britney Spears - because she met up with Lady Gaga in Vegas. Nevada's latest freak show, Harry Reid non-withstanding?
"Gwen Stefani's 'chunky' teeth photo irks fans" - wow, the problems some people have.
Miley Cyrus "wants to let girls know it's OK to be themselves" - really?!!!!
"Scary things caffeine can do to your body" - not as scary as the results of listening to this constant rigmarole.
According to the latest poll, DC is #10 of "the least religious" states in the country - really? Somebody needs to check their raw data - because no way are there 9 states that can beat DC in this area.
Kathy Ireland was proclaimed the #1 of SI swimsuit models, with Kate Upton at #2 and Heidi Klum at #5 - gentlemen, let the battle of opinions begin!
And, finally, rumor has it that The Queen wants Kate to "tone it down a bit" (meaning her wardrobe), but, as Kate's style "already evolved", the point seems to be moot - lady, with all due respect, just concentrate on really important stuff, like maybe Kate's papa in law.

MORNING UPDATE - January 31, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! Happy Rosh Chodesh! Ladies, I know that as it's Erev Shabat, my reminders would fall on deaf ears, so, at least take advantage of Rosh Chodesh tomorrow smile emoticon
It's above freezing!!! Run for the sunblock! And, yes, I went to do laundry in my flippies. The only noise was related to Superbowl, and, later, just Latifa, so - thank Gd!
Both our felines suffer from severe OCD.
The crazy upstairs is up to her usual.
Currently trending at #1 is Mila Kunis - because she is the "new face" of Kentucky bourbon. Earth-shattering, man, simply earth-shattering!
Trending at #2 is Tara Reid - because she signed up for Sharknado 2! Rejoice, ladies and gentlemen!
"Helen Mirren, 68, twerks while accepting award" - you keep it classy, Helen!
"Miley's advice to Bieber" - yea, here is the blind leading the lame.
Dennis Rodman claims he was drunk "when he made his comments about North Korea" - wow, that was some drink, Dennis!
And, finally, it looks like Kate is going to spend another Valentine's day solo - last year Will was deployed, and this year he will probably be at school.

MORNING UPDATE - January 30, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Thursday! The weather is still very much in the range of catastrophic global warming - actually, not so catastrophic anymore, as Sniff is not hugging his fave pipe. He also keeps trying to explore the great big outdoors. George just complains periodically. Both of them tried to get into the pantry today - they know where the good stuff is.
Yesterday a costumer was impressed with my ability to haul a heavy cart - really wanted to tell her about having to lag about 10-15 kilos of food for 5 kilometers, walking on dirt road half the time; a part of my usual lecture on appreciating this country.
Speaking of which, it looks like some of my conservative friends overdid on newly legalized Mary Jane, as they are singing phrases to Putin, claiming him to be a great leader, and proclaiming that Russia is off our enemy list.
"Rob Ford defends Justin Bieber" - just can't stop laughing at that one.
"Revelations from Justin Bieber's DUI arrest report" - spare me!
"Top cars that attract the opposite sex" - seriously? "Men said attractive women drive sports cars" - that settles it. I am definitely not attractive as I hate sports cars. "Women most attracted to guys in trucks" - yea, that I can see; I mean anything but "environmentally friendly car".
Zinc supplements are trending at #10 - because they are supposed to be better at fighting cold than vitamin C. People, it's a freaking virus - you live through it!
"Miley-Madonna duet" - please, my eyes!
"Rep. Henry Waxman retiring after 40 years" - just let this sink for a minute.
And, finally, British Royal Family is down to their last million - ouch!

MORNING UPDATE - January 28, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Tuesday! The global warming is hitting us so badly, that yours truly IS COLD!!! I have been spotted wearing SOCKS! And TIGHTS!!! Also, like in the old Russian joke, Baby Bro and I are sharing a pair of snow boots. Or, rather, they are his boots, and he is generously sharing them with me.
Aruba Ministry of Tourism sent me a nice e-mail last week, informing me of all the interesting things that would be happening on their One Happy Island in the months of February and March - thank you, kind Sirs and Madams!
Cats are active this time, especially Sniffles. He keeps attempting to go to work with me - mice and nasty people, beware! He also keeps himself fit by running around like a crazed gazelle. George keeps showing his uncanny ability of knowing exactly when I get into bed - and immediately comes running, demanding to be petted.
The crazy upstairs is up to her usual stuff.
Currently trending at #3 is Rosie O'Donnell - because she is "Returning to The View as Guest Seven Years After Bitter Exit" - please let it not be on my laundry day!
Trending at #8 is Kate Beckinsale - because she "Wows in Mini Dress at Grammys Afterparty". Feminists, rejoice!
An engineer in Michigan invented a device that checks if the diaper is wet - because a "traditional" method of checking his daughter's diapers was too "disgusting". OK, gentlemen, I know that men would use any excuse of getting out of diaper duty, but here is an easier way - you have to change a baby girl's diaper every 2 hours! So, if you want to tinker, invent a timer.
"Could Justin Bieber be deported?" - please, please, please!!!
Khloe Kardashian claims that she is leaving out of her car and can't find a place to stay - I guess she did not hear of something called "renting an apartment".
Someone unearthed a video clip of 11 year old Kate playing Eliza Doolittle in a school play - again, who has time for this kind of research?
Beyonce's dress designer "revealed" that she is size 2 - bootylicious, my coccyx!

MORNING UPDATE - January 24, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! The weather still shows all the signs of extreme global warming - thankfully, not working today as well. Sniff started meditating while sitting on a radiator. George just likes to snuggle somewhere more familiar.
The crazy upstairs adopted the post office motto and is unwavering in her routine.
Currently trending at #2 is Khloe Kardashian - because "Kim Kardashian Reveals Khloe Never Wanted a Baby With Lamar Odom". OK, next time one of you air-headed moronetts complains about the lack of privacy - well, you hopefully would know whom to blame.
Trending at #5 is Ellen Pompeo - because she signed up for another two years with Grey's Anatomy. Heck, not only is this stuff still running, it will continue to run?
Beyonce and Jay-Z both have Roman number IV tattooed on their ring fingers because four has a very special meaning for them - why Roman numerals? I thought they did not believe in white culture.
Tori Spelling's husband went into rehab to deal "with personal issues" - what kind of idiotic times do we live in? Dude cheats on his wife and goes into rehab? What happened to the iron skillet over the head first?
"Justin Bieber exits jail" - damn, already?
And, finally, "Kate Middleton Angers a Drunk Camilla Parker-Bowles" - I guess some members of the royal family do take tips on behavior from our Hollywood elite.
Coffee this morning in my personalized mug from WB Times Square Store - really, really miss that place.

MORNING UPDATE - January 23, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Thursday! There is an overwhelming evidence of global warming outside my window - thank Gd today is my day off. Cats are not extra sleepy though, and Sniff definitely enjoys my once-again-working radiator. George sticks to his huge Amazon box.
MTA is, as always, MTA, and is using the latest demonstration of global warming as an excuse for extra sucky service.
Currently trending at #1 is Melissa Gilbert - because she "exited New York" and "opted for 'Little House on the Prairie' life". Enjoy, Melissa!
Trending at #8 is Jennifer Hudson. It looks like she got a Pixie Cut and now claims that she needs "whole new wardrobe" because of it. How, um, earth-shattering.
Another news in hairdos - someone named Emma Roberts "debuts a sleek bob". What will we do without knowing it?!!
"Consider this before adjusting your thermostat: suffering through lower temperatures for even a few hours a day offers a real health benefits, a study finds" - I am sure there is a special place in hell for the environmentalists whose policies push our energy costs through the roof; and so-called scientists who support and encourage it belong there as well.
"Facebook's oldest user turns 106" - happy birthday!!
"Snowy owl appears in DC" - a warning from the local wizarding community that they are watching the Voldemort reincarnation in the White House? How about doing something about it already?!!
"8 tips to avoid getting audited by IRS" - there is only one really good tip: do not appose the tyrant in DC and his attempts to destroy our country.
Bieber was arrested for DIU. He was driving with a woman who was not Selena Gomez, and was later given a special red jumpsuit in prison - OK, our great neighbors from the North! Could you please, please, please claim your national treasure already?
And, finally, according to some highly intellectual publication, it has been over a 1000 days since Kate became a duchess. Who the heck has time for those complicated calculations?!!
Coffee this morning in my San Fran latte mug - rotten political climate, great weather!

MORNING UPDATE - January 22, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Wednesday! The weather outside reminds me of my childhood in step-mama city, only I don't feel like ice skating - ravages of being middle aged, what can I tell.
Feline companions are snoozing in their respective corners. Sniff keeps trying to escape and explore the great big freezing outdoors. On Sunday he wanted to go to work with me.
The crazy upstairs continues with her usual routine.
Currently trending at #1 is Wendy Williams - because she cried on her show, claiming that her son does not like her anymore. Jewish and Italian mothers, take notes!
There is a list of 5 jobs that people regret taking - politician is not on it, of course; but than, politician is not a real occupation.
"Why Lindsay Lohan keeps getting acting roles" - who gives a flying banana?
"How to apply false lashes" - why would I want to do that?!!
Katy Perry believes in aliens. She claims that she has a theory about extraterrestrials, and she would like to ask President Obama about it - how about first asking him why he scrapped the planned mission to the Moon, and then sending both of them into outer space to explore any bloody theory they want.
And, finally, "Donatella Versace Hails Kate Middleton as the Queen of Couture" - thanks, Donatella, for not giving this dubious honor to our dear and pathetic excuse of a First Lady, whose "birthday bash" is still being discussed.
Coffee this morning in my funky glass Cappuccino mug.

MORNING UPDATE - January 17, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Friday! Happy Erev Shabat! The weather is beautiful - at least for today. Sniff is sleeping on Baby Bro's chair and occasionally opening his eyes in order to send dirty looks our way. George is sleeping on my bed and occasionally waking up to whine.
Crazy upstairs is producing different noise for a change.
2 big articles: one about "decent wines for under $5" and another one on how to open a whine bottle without a corkscrew - OK, how bad is the economy if we have to discuss dirt cheap wines and can't even afford corkscrews?!!
Meryl Streep is planning to star in a new movie that supposedly will make NRA "wish they weren't alive" - this is just another illustration to everyone who was wondering why Streep is on my long list of Hollywood celebs whose "art" I boycott.
"5 big problems retails face in 2014" - hum, let's see: Hussein's continuing efforts to destroy our economy is the only one that comes to mind.
"Michelle Obama turns 50: Her life in photos" - aw, sweet. I assume all her racist and America-hating papers and speeches are not included.
"Justin Bieber's iPhone seized in egging probe" - wow, the story is getting bigger and bigger, and the hits just keep on coming.

MORNING UPDATE - January 16, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Thursday! Happy Tu B'Shevat! The weather is OK - thankfully, still above freezing with no horrendous winds. As always, Sniff was the only one greeting me last night - as the other two occupants of the place were sleeping. Of course, George knows that precise moment of me trying to become one with the bed, and always comes asking to be petted. Right now Sniff is trying to figure out the secrets of the olive oil container.
Yesterday a woman came to my station demanding to help her locate a book - "it's not a children's book, but I need you to help me find it". After I told her that it's a self-help book, and she should go to the 3rd floor, she asked me how to get there. Considering that she just got off the up escalator, and the elevators were within view, I think this woman was beyond self-help, or any kind of help; and I am also sure that she is a registered Democrat.
The new details about Benghazi are out, but they are not anywhere close to the top ten trending now.
Trending at #1 is Acetaminophen - due to another warning from the FDA. Thank you, dear FDA, for thinking about me, but I prefer Ibuprofen.
Trending at #4 is Prince Harry - who was "spotted" on a "low key date" with Cressida Bonas, "putting the rumors about they split to rest". Fascinating, what can I say; at least they were both dressed.
Trending at #8 is Jennifer Lopez - because she is "unsure" if she will ever get married again. Why is this of interest to anyone not connected to bridal mags is beyond me.
"10 must-haves for a luxurious kitchen" - first give me a luxurious kitchen, then I'll decide myself what the must-haves would be there; and, no, eco-friendly flooring would not be one of them.
In the past 3 years, FB became "uncool" among teenagers - could have fooled me.
"The tax form many people are afraid to get" - only one tax form?!!
"Justin Bieber's security video key to cracking egg caper" - gee, you don't say!
And, finally, Kate got a birthday celebration she wanted - she had a "quite" dinner at home with her family.

MORNING UPDATE - January 15, 2014
Good Morning, peeps! Happy Wednesday! The weather is OK so far. Cats are awake. George surprisingly did not hunt Baby Bro's cereal. Sniff relocated to the big closet - from which he sleepily fell out yesterday in order to great me.
Crazy upstairs is at her post.
Currently trending at #1 is someone named Jennifer Nettles - who released some kind of debut album and also stripped for it. Feminists are silent for a change.
"Lopez looks better than ever in leather, lace" - a proud achievement indeed.
Michelle Obama was talking about possibility of botox and plastic surgery in her future - will we have to pay for it as well as her birthday present from dear Barack?
The search of Bieber's home is trending at #7 - with a whole discussion of whatever or not the search was justified.
Coffee this morning in my Coffee Bean/Tea Leaf mug - would not mind being in LA today; of course, Aruba would be better.
