Finally… Michael Jackson Is Almost Out of the News
Let me make this clear:
I. DON’T. GIVE. A. RAT’S. BUTT. ABOUT. MICHAEL. JACKSON. OR. HIS. DYING.
While it’s sad that he died, we’re all going to die. He hasn’t been in the news for anything positive in 15 years. Let’s move on already.
On the funny side, one of my seminary classmates entered the pool for tickets for kicks and got them. He and his wife went to the funeral and twittered on it. His twitters are awesome.
A Love Letter
Dear Alltel,
I hate you. I hate your commercials. I cannot wait to get rid of your stupid service that screws up my billing every month and doesn’t pick up in most places.
Snuggles,

I Guess Funerals Are Indeed For the Living…
CNN.Com: Fans must register for tickets to Jackson memorial
After the memorial service, could we please cut the media circus and get on with our lives? There are some of us who don’t give a rat’s butt that he died and would like to hear about other things going on in the world.
Sponsor Me!!!!
I’m participating in Blogathon 2009 to raise money for the Preeclampsia Foundation as I’m a survivor of HELLP Syndrome. Please sponsor me. No amount is too small and it is all very much appreciated. My Blogathon site is here.
Again… We’re Apparently On Crack
CNN.Com: Ahmadinejad accuses Obama of interfering in election
Apparently, telling Iran that the world is watching them as they slaughter their people in the streets was a vast conspiracy by the US to interfere in Iran’s elections. About the only thing that could even *COUNT* was telling Twitter to delay site maintenance so that Iranians could continue to communicate after the government started shutting things down. I mean, Obama was chastized by Republicans for not doing MORE.
Stupid right-wing nutjobs!
Life As A Mommy
I’ve been lax about blogging lately because I haven’t had enough brain cells to do it, or (like right now) I’m typing one-handed because I have the big-eyed boy in my arms. (OK… I could put on my Moby wrap but I haven’t had a chance.)
I haven’t been to church in at least a month so I’m not having any really decent faith revelations. I honestly wanted to see my baby more than I wanted to deal with people and to make it to two care times, I had to skip the 11:00 service at Church #2. I prayed a lot on the way down and I listened to religious podcasts but I broke the Sabbath. (OK… sort of. I caught a midweek service some of the time before my month-long drought.)
I haven’t been out much since Daniel came home because we’ve had to quarantine him due to his compromised immune system. (Preemies have crappy immune systems. Ask me how I know this.) I’m home most of the time. I watch a lot of news when I can’t sleep and I’ve kept up on the outside world that way. Otherwise, it’s been a lot of getting out to make trips to the dump or to do things like get prescriptions.
My life does revolve around Daniel right now. I keep a separate blog for his stuff (located here) because I’d rather keep this blog about me and not post that OMG-HE-HELD-HIS-HEAD-UP-TODAY!!!!!! Mommy-blogging can get annoying and I’m respecting that some of my audience doesn’t really want to know the minutae of Daniel’s bowel habits or motor skills. By the same token, it was good to have the Caringbridge site so I’ve got Daniel’s blog up for people who want to keep tabs on him that way.
In terms of world events, I have been following the elections in Iran and my Twitter icon is green to show support for Mousavi. I think Ahmadinejad is on crack for thinking that the US sparked the protests and that Mousavi’s popularity was a plot by Obama but he’s always been a little daft when it comes to factual things… much like our last administration and Fox News. (Yes, I had to throw that in.) I actually care more about Neda’s death than I do Michael Jackson’s death.
So… that’s my world right now.
