Friday and Monday Together

Heat has finally arrived; the winds have died down a little, and we may actually be getting an authentic summer. And then we will sit in front of our ice boxes and moan that It Is So Hot!

The season ends of 70s Show and the OC were both not what TV Guide had hyped them up as. 70s spent too much of its last show trying to be funny about Hyde's pot smoking, and OC ended with Marisa getting killed in Ryan's car. I was not moved by either show. Maybe it was because my back is hurting this week. I finally went to bed.

Much going on in the world, but check out Drudge to see what is happening. In August the Dixie Chicks are coming to Des Moines for a concert. There will probably be right and left clashes outside the auditorium, along with demonstrations. Note on May 22: the Chicks are on the cover of Time, and Nat Maines has announced she had retracted some of the nice things she said about W in the near past. The concert should be an exciting event in Iowa.

Now on Monday May 22. The records of at least 26 million veterans have been stolen from the house of a VA employee who took them home with him. Barbaro is on his feet and horny for mares after breaking his leg in the Preakness Saturday. Madonna opened her world tour in LA with a show which featured her on a cross. Nagin got reelected mayor of New Orleans. Another kid in Aruba has been picked up for whatever he knew or did involving Natalie H. A horse farm in Michigan is being dug up in case the bones of Jimmy Hoffa are buried there. The upcoming hurricane season may be another wicked one. The Metropolitan Opera gala for the retirement of Joe Volpe got awful reviews and comments from a website of gay opera fans.

PBS tonight is doing a show on Joseph Goerbbels tonight. Should be interesting to see how PBS portrays Dr. G. considering the strange political leanings of PBS. And King of Queens is supposed to be very good tonight. A lot of network shows I just have never gotten interested in (including Lost, 24, American Idol, and most of the murder-autopsy shows). It's just the way my brain is wired, I guess. Probably nothing wrong with all those shows, but I just can't cram all of them into my activity routine.

This is going to be all for right now. I did not get Friday's blog finished, so this is a combo of Friday and Monday. I keep promising all my fans that I will sometime create the perfect blog, but I am still working on that project. You all take care. Di di mau!
