The Ghost of John Lennon

See this clock? It plays Beatles songs at the top of every hour. See right above the 9 and the 3? See how it is clearly split into two pieces? At the top of every hour, the two pieces split and the clock lights up and that piece below the 6 spins around and it is very pretty.

I made the mistake of keeping batteries in this clock for way too long. The batteries burst a bit and nasty battery acid got in the clock. It still works but it is a bit spaztic. Right now, the two pieces are apart. It makes it a bit harder to tell time but whatever. It is still a pretty clock.

You can turn the music off and the clock still works. I think the music bugs my husband because a while back, he turned the clock off. Last I checked, it was off. I haven't heard the music in a while.

This morning at about 8:50, the music started. Not all of it. Just for a few seconds. I stared at the clock super duper confused. As far as I remember, it didn't play again and I've been sitting on the couch all day so I would know. Well, just now, at 2:50, the music played again.

I think the ghost of John Lennon or George Harrison is in our house. They are pissed that my husband turned them off so they are sending warning signals out that we best turn the clock back on.

John and George, I'm on your side. Haunt my husband in his sleep. He turned the clock off!

RIP Corey Haim

Corey Haim was my favorite of the Corey's. He was way totally cuter than Corey Feldman. WAIT. That was Heather Graham in License to Drive with them? Didn't know that.

Anyways, remember when you would buy Teen Bop and Tiger Beat and read super cheestastic articles about Kirk Cameron and Corey Haim and they would have those pull out posters and you would tape them to your bedroom wall and behind your bedroom door so you could stare at them and imagine your life with them because they were totally going to marry you?

And now, all these years later, it is weird how that boy that you totally crushed on when you are a pre-teen and watched in movies and stared at on your bedroom wall died of a drug overdose.

If he would have married you, that never would have happened.

NO Kitty, thats a bad Kitty!

Good morning and happy Monday! This is nail polish on the kitchen floor.....


Kitty, you are grounded. But first, you need to take this $1 bill, march yourself down to Wal-Mart and get me a replacement bottle of nail polish.

What? You think people will stare at a cat walking into Wal-Mart to buy nail polish?

Honey, it is WAL-MART. There are weirder things going on in there than a cat buying nail polish. Believe me. Now scoot! If you aren't back in 2 hours, I'll come look for you. Look both ways before crossing the street and use the crosswalks. Don't talk to strangers and make sure you get the change.

Yes, there will be change. That nail polish was only .85 cents. Yes, your mommy is cheap.

Kitty Photo Shoot

My kitty was looking super cute laying on the couch today so I grabbed the nice camera (instead of snapping pictures with my iphone) and started taking pictures of her. I'm pretty sure she loves having her picture taken because she changed poses several times as I was taking her picture. Seriously. She is a diva.

LOST (Spoilers)

I can't come up with any thoughts of my own this week so instead, I will steal from the Entertainment Weekly Lost recapper genius, Jeff Jensen.

Interesting Point #1:
Remember before the season began, when ABC released a trio of images that had the cast of Lost replicating Leonardo Da Vinci’s painting of The Last Supper? According to tradition, Jesus’ final meal with his disciples occurred on Thursday evening. The next day, on ’'Good Friday,’' Christ was crucified. Jesus was taken off the cross at sundown (although it had been oddly dark all day) and placed into a tomb. From there, the Christian messiah, God’s only begotten son, is said to have descended into hell to give Satan the finger. Sundown. Son Down. Now, think back to the season premiere, ’'LA X.’' The castaways arrived back on the Island in the evening. Last night’s episode was the first time we’ve seen evening on the Island since then, and based on what we’ve seen, I think it’s safe to say that only one day has passed since Team Jughead was uploaded to Island 2007. Oh, and in case you weren’t keeping track, Lost’s last season is now one-third complete. Six hours of Lost 6.0 = 1 day on the Island. 18 hours on Lost 6.0 = 3 days. If we say that ’'LA X’' was Maundy Thursday, and if ’'Sundown’' was Good Friday, then will the show’s final hour be... Easter Sunday. And you know what happened on Easter? Resurrection. I’m telling you, folks, Alpha, the god of beginnings is coming back to balance the scales, but this time he’ll be wearing a whole new body, because he’s going to be a whole new creation: the resurrected John Locke.

Interesting Point #2:
I am no expert on Islam. Can’t you tell? But in my research, I stumbled on this find. In Islam, there are ’'major signs’' and ’'minor signs’' that the world is about to end and the Day of Judgment is at hand. One of the major signs: the coming of a false messiah that will lead the faithful away from remembrance of Allah. And then, there’s ’'The Smoke.’' Seriously, I’m not making this up. From Wikipedia: ’'The Smoke will appear all over the earth that will cause believers to catch something similar to the common cold, whereas disbelievers will be hit harder by it. Finally, a cool wind will cause all the believers to die. This leaves all the unbelievers left on earth to experience the last hour of the day of judgment.’'

Questions:

#1: Where is Sawyer? Still hanging out in the cave?

#2: Are Sun and Jin ever going to be together?

#3: Is Claire going to tell Smokey that Kate took her bay-bee and together, they will destroy her?

#4: What is going to happen to all of the Smokey Followers? Will he rescue them from the island? What if Smokey really is the good side of the good vs. bad equation.

I'm enjoying the small revalations each week. I know some people are screaming WE WANT ANSWERS but those people need to RELAX. Slow and steady. Have faith.

Kitty says, don't cry lady

Monday was a slow tv night so I scanned the movie channels and was excited to see that one of my favorite movies ever was playing: A League of Their Own. This movie has excitement, humor and touching moments and to be honest, there are several points in this movie where I get tears in my eyes:

1. When Marla Hooch says bye to her dad at the train station. TEAR.

2. When Jimmy Duggan gives his "If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. It's the hard makes it great" speech to Dotty Hinson. small tear.

3. When Dotty smiles watching her little sister Kit carried off the field after she scores the winning run. TEAR.

4. When Dotty and Kit talk after the game. BIG TEARS.

And finally....the biggest tear moment of all...
5. When Old Dotty and Old Kit see each other at the Baseball Hall of Fame. WATERWORKS.

I think my kitty knew that this part in the movie was coming and she wanted to distract me. She was on a rampage (trying to get our attention since we were watching the tv and not her). She jumped onto the coffee table and knocked several magazines and a picture frame onto the ground JUST as Dotty and Kit hugged. That would have been the point where I would have hid under my blanket so Chris couldn't make fun of me for crying.

But my kitty didn't want me to cry, so she stopped me from seeing that scene at all. What a good kitty.
