Bono is on The Daily Show right now.  Damn he looks fit.  And by fit I mean HOT.

Heee!  They've finally made a film about my darling lads (I can hear Bono clearing his throat and correcting me - darling men).

Diehards will be familiar with the book Killing Bono: I was Bono's Doppleganger by rock critic Neil McCormick.  The memoirish account follows Neil's teenage years as one of Bono's schoolmates, how they shared dreams of ( Read more... )

Believe it or not, Ewan was not the first wee gent for which I fell ass-over-tea kettle.  That honor belongs to dear Bono, and to this day he occupies a vast and special place in my heart.

As you might've read, poor Bono seriously hurt his back over the weekend and was rushed into emergency surgery.  Disk compression pressed deeply into his sciatic ( Read more... )

My sympathies to everyone in the northeast getting slammed by the big epic snowstorm.  I hope you are staying warm darlin' roomie!   I miss you.  *sad*  It was 27 when the sun rose this morning, and I LOVE IT.  The colder the better.  Snow is a very rare treat, so I'm not holding out hope for that, but I do so love the cold.  Crisp, clean, fresh- ( Read more... )

• Congratulations, Mr. President.  This is putting some political capital back in your account -- exchange that currency from foreign to domestic and get back to work on ( Read more... )

Too bad I've been inside all day reading about the malaise of postmodernity.  : \

I have a millionty-two things to el-Jay about.  Let's see, where to start...

U2!!!!!!!!
They ROCKED their week on Letterman.  AND.....THEY'RE COMING TO ATLANTA.   Yep.  Stadium tour this time, so fewer shows, but the set-up looks tremendous.  I last saw my boys in 2005 - both nights in Atlanta, and on Saturday night odabee_jones and myself were on the rail on ( Read more... )

My feet are cold, but my socks are in my room.  They will stay there.

My hair is wet and in tangles.  My brush is in my lap, forgotten.

I have a cup of water somewhere, but I cannot go get it.

There is new U2 on my television.  New U2.  Bono, Larry, Adam, and Edge playing, as always, just for me.  Edge is so beautiful and his music is....I don't even ( Read more... )
