The Blog With No Name

What country is this? I mean, really. NPR had a report today about two American citizens who are being held, one in the US, one in Cuba, as hostile enemies or some such stupid thing. NO access to their family – NO access to any lawyers – NO time limit – NO NOTHING. I can’t say that I’ve woken up in Stalinist Russia, because they would have simply been shot, but this is just ridiculous. Emigration to Canada is looking better and better. I wonder what sort of job I could get there…

Oh so chic and minimalist.) Later on this fine day, I saw the person whose job I had taken, and congratulated her on her potential new job (newer, I mean) at the BIG RICH CHURCH here in the area.

Note To Self: Keep Damned Mouth Shut.

That was not the thing to do.

99% of the time, I can manage NOT to say stupid, Wrong things. What possesses me to open my mouth that other 1%, I’d give just about anything to know.

Well anyway. That was the low point of my day. So I shouldn’t complain.

I saw “Hidalgo” last night, in the company of what my husband refers to as the “Estrogen Brigade.” We all liked it; as one attendee said, Viggo looks verrrry good in his chinos. But I have to say, and I know this makes me weird or something, Omar Sharif is pretty sexy too. I don’t care if he’s 80 or whatever. He has an aura, that’s for sure.
