Another mystery to solve
Maybe this isn't a mystery. Maybe it's just some corollary of Murphy's Law. Why is it that you have trouble getting up early on the mornings when you have no choice but to get up; but on mornings you could have slept in, you're wide awake way too early.
I could have slept until 7 a.m. this morning. But no my body decided that 4:19 a.m. was the right moment for me to awaken and be unable to fall back to sleep. And yes I have blogs to write. Reviews of films to write. My own creative writing, which has been sorely neglected since the start of this year. But given my druthers, I'd have preferred more sleep.
Vice-President Joe Biden says you don't need an assault weapon to defend you or your loved ones at home. Just get a shotgun. I had no idea that the VP was an expert on home-defense, and the tactics involved. Then again I didn't know Jose Canseco was studying the history of gravity and had concluded that ancient gravity was much weaker than gravity today. I won't even bother asking the VP what he'd do once he'd shot off all five rounds in his shotgun at the bad guys and needed time to reload.
It is just me? Lately when I dine out and I order salad, it has been weird. All of the ingredients are there, the iceberg, the romaine, the cucumbers, the sprouts, the shredded carrots,the purple lettuce and so on, but it's like they're being served in a tray with compartments. Is it that hard to actually mix, or more properly "toss" a salad?
How drunk do you have to be, to be stupid enough to call 911 to order a pack of cigarettes? That happened in Texas (naturally).
Guests staying at a downtown L.A. hotel have checked out in droves, after a young female tourist from Canada was found in one of the hotel's water tanks. She'd been missing for three weeks. One woman who was checking out said that she was upset at having showered in the water the dead woman had been in. Makes me wonder, how much showering and scrubbing would someone in that situation need to feel clean again?
Women get mad at their boyfriends. Men get mad at their girlfriends. But what is behind a woman biting off a piece of her boyfriend's tongue? That's going way too far, even if they had a major argument. He's going to have a tough time licking this speech impediment thing. http://instantrimshot.com/
Was it an act of cruelty or kindness in the mind of Mindy McCready when she shot and killed her dog, before taking her own life? I suspect she thought it was kindness, so the dog wouldn't be left alone. Then again, she left two other dogs at her house untouched. Go figure.
Will whoever is in charge of fashion trends please put an immediate stop to the rapidly growing popularity of overalls? They sucked before and now that they are attempting a comeback, they such even more now.
Do you care that this Sunday we won't be watching the "Academy Awards"? The telecast will not use that reference. It will simply be "the Oscars".
What moron thinks that he can build a 40 foot high castle on his property, in secret, by hiding it under tarps and behind hay bales?
The so-called "Chuck E. Chese killer" has lost his latest appeal and faces execution in Colorado. My question is, will he order pizza for his last meal?
