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 - OCTOBER 8

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Tuesday! The weather improved vastly from yesterday. Sniff was extra frisky again last night, running around and making more noise than a small horse. This morning he came in to snuggle and, surprisingly, did not attempt to eat my blanket. George still does not know what he wants to eat; his latest was eating fresh diet kibble. Now he is sleeping on my bed, and, also surprisingly, also did not molest my blanket.
Baby Bro postulated that the tortoise that lives in Prospect Park Zoo moonlights for Brooklyn Public Library as a book deliverer. Considering how long it takes them to fill in some of the holds, the theory makes perfect sense.
Currently trending at #1 is Matt Lauer - because he interviewed Miley Cyrus, who, in turn, postulated in that interview that people over 40 don't have sex anymore. How did she come to that conclusion, and why is that the focal point of the said interview I don't really know and really don't want to know.
In similar news, Miley's mom "stole her pose" recently - no wonder the kid is so messed up.
Trending at #2 is Ashley Judd because she may have reconciled with her husband - as long as she stays away from politics and self-proclaimed fight for women's rights, I don't care about anything else she does.
Halle Berry announced that her new son's name is Maceo-Robert - another celeb baby with idiotic name. The usual prediction would be "poor kid, he is so getting killed later because of his stupid name"; but, considering, how many famous people give their offspring the most moronic names imaginable, the only kids who are in trouble are the ones with the "usual", "boring" names.
The fountain at the Bellagio in Vegas is supposedly one of the 8 greatest in the world - congrats to me, I have seen it both by day and by night!
Jerry Seinfeld became a latest celebrity in a long line of them to offer his two cents on what his secret to a happy marriage is - well, considering the rate of celebrity divorces, I simply marvel at their audacity to still blab about the topic.
Today's hairdo news come to you courtesy of Jada Pinkett Smith, whose "edgy" new look consists of a head that's half shaved and half covered in braids - classically elegant, what can I say.
Avril Lavinge got "all gussied up" for a night out with her hubby - considering her usual, hum, attire choices, that is a sure sign of love, ladies and gents!
And, finally, according to Slate Magazine blog, Bieber's "New Song Is Better Than You Were Probably Expecting It To Be" - which basically confirms my firm believe that anything that comes out of Slate is not to be believed.
Coffee this morning in my white glass from Target.

MORNING UPDATE - SEPTEMBER 24

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Tuesday! Happy Fourth Day of Chol Hamoed Succot! The weather continues to rock! Feline companions continue to be themselves - annoying psychotics. As usual, they are both sleeping in my room now - George on my bed, and Sniff in the papasan, for a change.
Socializing with liberals is always an interesting experience; just when you think you heard it all, they go ahead and surprise you.
Surprise, surprise - the attack in Kenya, or the latest antics of our dear usurper in chief did not make it to top ten.
Currently trending at #1 is Jada Pinkett Smith - because she revealed right here, on FB, that she had "many addiction; geez louise, what an utterly surprising revelation that is!
Trending at #8 is Antonio Banderas - because he is going to play pirate in the new Spongebob movie. Well, he nailed Puss in Boots in Shrek, so, I guess he will totally shine as a Spongebob pirate.
Giada "swears" by SPF, drinking more water than coffee, and raw almonds as a healthy snack; she especially likes the ones you can buy in the airports - interesting combo. What really makes me laugh in this story is the fact that we are the same age; plus, I also love raw almonds - but I just enjoy them as a snack, and not a health food.
Kanye was "gushing" about why he stays with Kim K. - according to him, she gave him "family" and "support system"; plus, "she could love" him "without" "asking for money" - aw!! Who said romance is dead? What a tear-jerker that story is!
"Taller people may be slightly smarter, but they're more likely to get bitten by bugs, research shows" - OK, how in blazes do you run a research and arrive at this particular conclusion?
"Where Miley Cyrus's wild streak began" - don't know, don't care.
"Affordable way to charter a jet" - affordable for whom? And, most importantly, why would you need to charter a jet?
"Justin Bieber Shows Fans Underwear At Singapore Concert" - I guess the Vivaldi playing Moscovites did not collect enough money yet.
And, finally, Will and Kate applied for Georgie's first passport - aw, baby passport pictures!
Coffee this morning in my funky glass Cappuccino mug.

MORNING UPDATE - APRIL 17

Good Morning, peeps! Happy Wednesday! We got some sun - from now on am determined to enjoy all weather (except torrential rains) as we are about a month away from A/C season - and any, and I mean ANY weather, is preferable to that! A while ago George decided that water from his fountain (bought especially for him) is not good enough, so he was issued a drinking bowl - which, taking into account Baby Bro's humor, is pink. Sniffles is waking me up in the morning by coming to snuggle, head-butting my elbows and liking my arm, after which he proceeds to the main event - eating my blanket. TCM is showing 1936 version of Romeo and Juliette with Leslie Howard as Romeo - gosh, what a difference does a great actor make! You forget that he looks way over 17 and just enjoy his fantastic performance! Alton Brown was talking about cooking with alcohol - man, do we need it! And Ina is talking about making homemade candy and even has an owner from Dylan's Candy Shoppe on her show - where are you, parteigenosse Michelle?!! Jada Pinkett Smith is trending at # 2 because she re-made Annie with a black girl - Jada, I dare, no, I triple-dare you and your husband to produce a movie showing how your poor persecuted ancestors were sold into slavery by their African brothers! Madonna's daughter is trending at #6 because of her complains about her over-protective father - spoiled brat. Bradley Cooper lives with his mother at the ripe old age of 38 - is he Jewish, by any chance? Budweiser "dresses up its new can" - oh, come on! Do we really need to dress up a beer can? "007 Declassified: James Bond Was Almost Named James Secretan" - yea, he would never have become so popular with idiotic name like this. Selena Gomez was talking about reacting like a groupie upon meeting Brad Pitt "oh, he is so pretty!" - eww and barf! Coffee this morning in my San Fran latte mug.
