Monday Melee

Another round of Fracas' Monday Melee:

1. The Misanthtropic: Name something (about humanity) you absolutely hate.
I say this every time, but I don't like the word hate. Let's say I do not prefer arrogance and self-righteousness, which quite often go hand in hand.

2. The Meretricious: Expose something or someone that’s phony, fraudulent or bogus.
Low-fat food. When the food makers take out the fat, they add sugar so the crap will actually taste like something edible. Rule: if it comes in a plastic cup and is made of words I can't pronounce, I leave on the shelf--oh, and if it jiggles. Food shouldn't jiggle.

3. The Malcontent: Name something you’re unhappy with.
My horn lessons are too far away. I should go through my previous Melee participations and see if I have already named this. It plagues me.

4. The Meritorious: Give someone credit for something and name it if you can.
The assistant pastor at my church is genuine--he is humble and funny and soft-spoken, and I don't believe he takes himself too seriously. If I am ever in a bind and need a pastor-type to help out, he is the person I will call.

5. The Mirror: See something good about yourself and name it.
I have nice cheek bones.

6. The Make-Believe: Name something you wish for.
A mac laptop would be nice. It's hardly something I long for, as my mini-pc craptop works just fine. But still, if I'm allowed to wish, then it's for a mac.

Cindy Loo Who In October

What is it with people and Cindy Loo Who? Of my last one hundred blog hits, forty have been direct visits from regular readers, and fifteen have been as a result of people searching for "Cindy Loo Who," the little pixie from Seuss's How The Grinch Stole Christmas . A couple of years ago, I posted an image of the original Seuss illustration as compared to the TV cartoon image, and for some reason, that post is bringing in the crowds, relatively. Maybe it's the weather. It isn't even November yet, and already we've had frost and have had to dust off our winter coats. When it gets cold like this, I start to think about Christmasy things like listening to Nat King Cole and decorating the tree. It's ironic because I am offended when retailers start pushing holiday stuff early, but I don't mind my own private celebrations. When my sister and I were much younger and still living with our parents, we would pick a day in July, close the curtains to darken the ...

Happy Birthday To...

Pope Leo IX (the Pope) JCF Bach (German composer) Jane Russell (of Gentlemen Prefer Blonds fame) Daniel Carter Beard (founder of the Boy Scouts of America) Jean-Paul Sartre (French philosopher) Maureen Stapleton (Academy Award winning actress) Mariette Hartley (who?) Prince William of Wales (the prince) but most importantly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 45 years ago today, I was born in Alabama in a small town on the banks of the Tennessee River. Yesterday, someone asked me if my family has any birthday traditions. The answer is no. My family never cared very much, but I do remember a few birthday highlights. I was given a birthday party in the back yard when I was ten years old. Two years later, my sister got married on my birthday, so I was just a bit overlooked, although I did get a stuffed animal--it was a white Yorkshire terrier with an AM radio in its stomach. When I turned 20, a different sister took me to an outdoor performance of Dvorak's New World Sympho...
