YTD, of course, as we say in the Big Payroll Biz ;): Xavier Georgia Tennessee Syracuse Texas Notre Dame Louisville Purdue (!!!!????!?!?!?!) UNLV Vanderbilt Georgetown St. John’s Oh well, as Gene said to me at dinner last night, “It’s a good thing we don’t depend on your earnings as a sports forecaster”.

laundry grumble…
Watching Gossip Girl (thanks to the internet) motivates me to fold the laundry and make the bed every Sunday evening, but now it’s on a 6 week hiatus (WHY???). Whatever will I do to motivate myself?* Bleh! and I also have finished the Daria and The State DVDs…
Movies…
So last Saturday we watched the second half of the Best Picture nominees. Well, 4 of them anyway… First up was Winter’s Bone. The heartwarming tale of a poverty stricken daughter searching for her father, a crank “cooker”, I think that this was 2011’s “Precious”. Gene and I both enjoyed it but were not sad…
95
So, when I was a little girl (I would refer to myself as Lil Elaine, but the word “Lil” makes me want to puke), I had a Grandma. Well, of course I had two Grandmas, both of whom were splendid in their own (and very, very, verrrrry different) ways. I have only the best memories…
20 Years Ago Today…
Twenty years ago today Mom took me to see Fleetwood Mac. I wore (going from head to toe): the worst perm of my life, a black and white checked ‘boyfriend jacket’ (with some sort of tshirt underneath), a hilariously short skirt and….well, I don’t remember the shoes. Before the concert, we went to dinner at…
Further entertainment notes…
1) Watching the season premiere of Burn Notice. Michael Westen is so bad ass. 2) You know what I want to see (other than a picture of Miley Cyrus post head shave – it’s coming, I can feel it)? A movie with a May-December bromance. I’m thinking Abe Vigoda and Michael Cera in a remake…
You’re standing on my neck…
Sing it with me! “This is my stop! Got to get off! I may go pop! Excuse me…excuse me! I’ve got to beee dirrrrect! If I’m wrong, please correct! You’re standing on my neck!” ~Splendora, “You’re Standing on My Neck” (Daria main theme song) (Why am I the only one singing??) Anyway, so in another…
Classic rock?
Okay, fine, I’m 33 years old. I’m no longer clinging to the pretense of being 29. That said, I am deeeeeply offended that this week’s episode of Glee referred to U2’s song “One” as ‘classic rock.’ Seriously, guys, I was in high school when that song came out. Hell, I may have been in junior…
Where have I BEEN?
I guess it’s been awhile since I posted, huh? That said, my birthday weekend w/ Mom feels like it happened months ago. I think that part of why I haven’t written lately is that I am still upset that Kansas lost to Northern Iowa. I mean, Northern Iowa??? That game happened when Mom was in…
Ten Movies in 2 Days…
(or, Holy Hell, Academy – did you have to increase the Best Picture Nominees to 10?) So, the movie theater showed all 10 Best Picture nominees today and last Saturday. If you’re thinking that’s a lot of movies, you are absolutely correct. If you’re also thinking, “Just how long does that take?” the answer is…
