Thursday morning
A few assorted items:
- They're jackhammering the street RIGHT outside the window. It is loud. I wish it would stop.
- The new 90210 is sort of awful, BUT it has LUCILLE, so it's sort of worth watching when we remember. She basically plays exactly the character of Lucille, only with a bad script.
- People keep talking about how bad it looked that Obama had that fundraiser with Barbra Streisand and how awful that looks and all that. There generally is a lot of bad press around Barbra (South Park, etc.) But my question is: Have you people not seen Funny Girl? I CRAZY LOVED that movie, and it's awesome pretty solely due to Barbra (no offense to bridge-master Omar Sharif...only credit to the sheer awesomeness of Barbra). So in my eyes that exempts her from any subsequent awfulness. They should be like, "Last week Obama had a fundraiser with Fanny Brice! Should McCain just give up now?!?!"
- I was just about to say that they had stopped jackhammering, but they just started again.
- After last night's Project Runway, Kenley is officially my favorite. Not because I actually like her (she's sort of a bitch and they're totally setting her up to go home next week), but because last night she said something to the effect of, "Tim says it would be okay if NONE of the tulle showed. I'm not going to listen to him." (And you know she actually said NONE in all caps.) Jor-El won last night, so obviously Kenley still didn't use enough tulle.
- I have the theme song from "All in the Family" stuck in my head, I think because in the news coverage of all this ZOMG EPIC ECONOMY FAIL business, Olbermann types have suggested that Bush and/or McCain are acting like Herbert Hoover. Well, I say we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again.
- You know what wasn't so good, though? Funny Lady. James Caan? Really? No.
- Jackhammering has stopped....for now.
