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 - June 24, 2014

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.
