A Career in Moonlighting

By
Hello, little darlings!

Since our relationship began in 2008, Habibi and I have had phases in our monogamous relationship where we allow one another to find love outside of the marriage.

No, you freaks, I am not talking about cheating!  I am talking about television, of course!  We are very happily married, thank you very much!  (Be looking for our book to hit shelves at your local Borders.  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!)

Anyway, in 2009, I introduced Habibi to my all time favorite TV show:  Arrested Development.  We laughed ourselves silly with the Bluth family.  In 2010, we fell in love with agents Mulder and Sculley from The X-Files.  (The truth is out there.  Trust no one.)  As 2011 draws to a close and we all take a moment to reflect back on the year, I am compelled to mention one of our two most recent loves:  Boston Legal.  We are currently in the second season and are thoroughly enjoying our relationships with Alan Shore and DENNY CRANE (to be read aloud - with gusto!).

Now, this is a long intro for a post that has nothing to do with Boston Legal.  However, it was in an episode that we watched last night that I had a revelation:  regardless of what I do in the day, I want to have a moonlighting job on the side.  (Melissa on BL did some "moonlighting" as a night time companion/watcher for Alan, who had night terrors.)  Of course, I don't want to sleep in any bed but my own and I don't want to do anything icky, but wouldn't it be bad ass (and fun, but mainly just bad ass) to have a side gig fighting crime?  Or how about being a mysterious vigilante, upsetting the corrupt powers that be?  Too bad that all the people who do those things in the real world are all such weirdos.  Alas, I will have to settle for "sunlighting" as a secretary who is suffering from a lengthy bout of writer's block (again) on her blog - the one domain over which I supposedly have total control.  Ha.  Ha.  Ha.  (Not.)

As the novelties of blogging and running are beginning to wear off, I am searching for another "new" thing.  Of course, this does NOT mean that I will stop blogging or running by any stretch of the imagination, but I want to find another piece of "new" for my life...glass blowing, playing the piano, inventing a new formula for mixing concrete....  Knowing full well that the novelty of the next new thing will eventually wear off too, I run the risk of developing a disappointing habit.  Eek!

Anyway, that's really all I have to say today.  It's a stretch, but it's all I've got!

Have a fantastic weekend!

    You have two most recent new loves? If BL is one, what is the other? IT BETTER BE RON SWANSON.

France 2012 - Carnac

By
le 2 novembre At around 7 a.m. this morning, Habibi and I set sail (sorry, I'll stop using nautical terms now) for the small, coastal town of Carnac, located in Bretagne  (Brittany).  Upon arriving at the small, cozy  H ô tel An Ti Gwenn  ( Breton  for "white house"), we were warmly received and led to our calm little slice of heaven.  Remember, we had just left our tiny, disgusting fish bowl of a room, so the pleasant smells and fresh, clean bedding were welcome! Exterior view of the  Hôtel An Ti Gwenn View of the back garden from one of our windows Peeking through the main window into the side garden Our clean, fresh salle de bains Notre chambre We stopped for a quick lunch at a local s alon de thé  before heading to the tourism office at the center of town.  The main square was adorned with a lovely old church (typical of just about every French community, regardless of the size), several small tourist shops, bars and  crêperies.

Mitt Romney: Problem Solver By A Fool's Standards

By
I know I bash politics a lot because, I'll just come right out and say it, I think they're silly.  My indifference to most things allows me the leisurely amusement of getting a rise out of people who are particularly hot on any given subject.  However, like most individuals who actually do give a shit, I also have a set of criteria on what I look for in a candidate and -republican or democrat- I will vote for whomever I feel best meets that criteria. But today, I find myself at a loss for words. http://www.npr.org/blogs/itsallpolitics/2012/02/15/146929766/why-romneys-shaggy-dog-story-wont-die While I haven't exactly been a Romney fan up until this point, I am somewhat sympathetic to those under constant scrutiny.  I suppose he has faced his fair share.  But we do make our own beds, do we not?  This is positively inexcusable.  I would sooner vote for a chimp in a scuba suit than this imbecile.  Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see all such despicable cr

The Joys of Fall and Eating Dinner

By
When I was just a little tike, I learned a song about Halloween.  The lyrics went something like this: Jack-O-Lantern, Jack-O-Lantern, You are such a pretty sight, As you sit there in the window, Looking out on the night! You were once a yellow pumpkin, Growing on a sturdy vine. Now you are a Jack-O-Lantern, See the candlelight shine! I know it isn't exactly Hemingway (thank goodness), but poor Habibi found me singing it to myself in the bathroom this morning as I was getting ready for the day.  (Oh, shut up.)  For your enjoyment (obviously) I've included the inspiration for my morning concert below: WE GOT TO CARVE OUR PUMPKIN LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!! I love Halloween.  Every year around this time I start to get the jitters as though something terribly exciting and adventurous is about to happen.  I love the crunch of fall leaves, crispy mornings, eerie evenings and smoky nights.  Spooky stories, haunted houses, the smell of a campfire an
