Useless Housewives of Greater London County

Before I get onto the subject of this post, I need to do a SQUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEE of joy and utter disbelief as I'm going to be reading at BlogHer 09 Community Keynote. Now, excuse me while I go and have a faint in the corner. To distract you, here's a post I wrote earlier

Your post delights in making utterly fantastic out of something utterly mundane...mercury in gemini?))

and someone still does ironing, esp after baby?????))

[rainsinger]

Mercury in Cancer, but a Gemini Venus on the MC is probably what you're seeing there.

Truly the one who ironed after baby was a nice lady who used to charge £10 for the priviledge. Nowadays we are Saving Money so mostly I just use ironing as an excuse when I want to watch a lot of trash TV. (Although it's also how I got the burn more than once, so the system is not foolproof).

Oh wow, go you with the keynote-y BlogHer thing!

I had thunder too - quite impressive, but I had been evil and dried my clothes in the dryer. *hangs head*

It seems quite pointless to respect nature when nature doesn't respect you back.

Ah, she's a difficult lover. But worth it, for the shiny beetles and so forth.

Blogher is on the 24th-25th of July and Z and I are attending it as part of our wee-just the two of us-long live romance- road trip through America. (The baby will be on a prolonged seaside holiday of his own with his aunties and grandma).

Sinically, my parents do know Micheal Jackson since 1993, as a repeated child mostesting suspect and freaky and wired lookig guy who acts extreamly eccentric.
ある意味、真っ白になっちゃったBlack& White以降の彼は、もう、ただただほんとに変なひとだった。
皮肉なのは、真っ白になった不気味で奇妙なマイケルのことしか知らない人って多いということ。1993年以降、ＮＨＫのニュースでも、特集番組でも、ほんとに、メジャーなニュースをいつも騒がせていた。
子供時代とか、スリラーとかのころのvideoを見て、「このころ、こんなにまともだったのね～」と驚いていた。
それにしても、あのかわいらしい歌の上手な子供時代のマイケルが、あんなに気持ち悪くなるなんて、ショックを受けていた。
「気持ち悪い人」として20年近く有名だったという事実に改めてびっくり。
