becoming my mother
when i was a kid, my sister and i loved to watch "little house on the prairie." it came on before dinner time, and my mother was always cooking when it was on. she would watch a few minutes here and there. even watching a third of the show at the most, she would still cry every time.
i have been watching episodes of "ugly betty" online. i cried at one of the episodes just now. i don't care what you think or i wouldn't have told you.

slime in the ice machine
i don't know why this is making me so sad, but marvin zindler died yesterday. he was an "investigative reporter" on the houston abc affiliate. he reported daily for Eye Witness News, the station my family watched. he was well known for exposing consumer fraud and for uncovering restaurants with health code violations. perhaps his greatest contributions to the world were providing the impetus for sneeze guards on salad bars and buffets and uncovering the brothel that was the inspiration for The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
i always thought he looked like a negative image roy orbison. you be the judge.

at first i wondered if this was a good use of my membership dollars
hey, what are you doing right now? yeah? well, i'm watching a pbs documentary about synchronized swimming. so there! so far, more interesting than i would have guessed. as weird as it looks from the top, it looks more bizarre from below. some pretty weird maneuvering is required to swim in place at an angle with your feet in the air and your head underwater.
i feel pretty bad for the girl who learns facial expressions to use in performance by watching passions. she seems to like the show, but that is a big sacrifice for sport, if you ask me.

i admit that i could not stop looking at her bum*
but they wouldn't stop showing it!
last night when i got back from a really dull meeting in cambridge, wisconsin, i decided to veg out with some TV. there was nothing on except for one tree hill. i decided to watch madonna's special: confessions on a dance floor.
A+ will be happy to know that, at least in my opinion, her singing was as bad as normal. plus, she has decided to move down an octave. okay, whatever. anyway, the weird part to me was, while they really focused on her dancing rather than her singing in the video/concert, they really, really focused on her bum. and her crotch.
rather than sing along, they seemed to want us to masturbate along. rather than being cuter and younger than i ever was, she is older and hotter than i ever have been. good work madonna, i suppose. still, i think i would rather be remembered for something other than my bum.
* ass

the long and the short of it
i got my haircut about two months ago, and i immediately hated it. i hated it as it was being cut. the woman doing the cutting didn't really listen to me and she herself had horribly styled hair. i thought rather than complain, i should quit while i was ahead. it is always a bad sign when the person cutting your hair looks as though half of their hair is a bird's nest and the other half is a mullet. i have wanted to cut my hair off since mid august, but it didn't happen. i am going to do it this week, though.
my fear with short hair is that i will somehow end up looking like catherine papadopoulos from TV's webster. in reality, with short hair i tend to look like DJ from roseanne. i think i am just going to embrace it.

here come the littles!
the littles are back on t.v. huh. weird. i loved the littles when i was a kid. i thought their contraptions made from leftover household items were awesomely awesome. remember? they were produced by DiC. i remember that, even though DiC was pronounce "deek" i always felt that it was uncomfortably close to "dick." i was a prudish kid and i never cursed.
anyway, i'm having a problem with a different kind of little. one that is a little less cute than a mutant mouse. in keeping with my bug theme, i seem to have fruit flies. i have made my own traps, but i'm not sure if they will work. i will let you know.
