Newsy Notes

47 degrees here in Philly this morning. By the end of the week it is supposed to get back up into the 80s one more time. Be prepared for a lovely flu epidemic to be hitting the Northeast in ohhhh about 10 days or so.

A Big thank you to Wylie Kinson. She mentioned a chat that some of the Ellora's Cave writers were having last week, and I won a prize for signing up and sharing some of my wittiness. A free book, bookmark and an Ellora's Cave playing card deck. The book and bookmark will find a good home in Chez Duck, but be prepared for the possibility of the card deck being a future contest surprise, we shall see how good the men look.

My neighbor annoyed me this weekend by having her two cats running around for like 6 hours outside. And of course, she was not paying attention to them as they were. Nothing wrong with giving your felines some fresh air, but when it begins to get dusk like outside and your kitty is still wandering around down by the street, you are officially the worst cat owner of the weekend.

Blog Relish

1.I wish someone would come up with an Ice Cream flavor that actually tasted like Rice Pudding. Ben and Jerry get on that would ya.

2.Im Sorry, Mister Alexander needs another mention.

3.STOP JUNK MAIL: Anthony at My Sick Mind talked about something that I so hate as well. Hopefully, this site can help him and maybe even you. Junk Mail sucks.

4.Great Googly Moogly, the Boss is back!

5.Now Here is a Classic Blast from the Past



6.Go out and have a good Saturday, or maybe at least watch some good football and look out the window.

Wheels Up Again

I have been unmotivated. Well, not unmotivated since I have thought everyday, I really need to get back to my blog. The problem is, I have not really had too much to say. I highly doubt anyone would want to hear about my golfing weekend and how exhausted I was afterwords. Goddess, I would not even want to read about that. But, now I am back and I figure while I have no mind bending posts, I do have some stuff to share, so away we go.

If Jordin does not win American Idol, it shows how wacked up that show is anymore. Blake and Jordin were both quite even through the first two songs, but Jordin's final performance just blew me away. And I was able to catch Mrs Duck getting a little choked up after she was finished. So, it made some sort of impact on her. Plus, we voted, so sheesh, that has to show how much we think Jordin should win. When Mrs Duck breaks down and falls for this popularity contest, and votes 10 times, thats a big deal.

I was back on the interview train yesterday. This time it was a job that I am hopeful of getting and have a small feeling of actually wanting. Though the pay scale is low low low, it would be a start, which is what your favorite feathered friend is looking for. So, heres to another week full of wait.

I have not been keeping up with too many details of this Gonzalez thing down in DC. But, when you are trying to slide around the back door to get the last attorney general to sign off on something while in a drug induced stupor, you may not be the most responsible person that should be in charge of the countries justice system.

Another thing that is a little bit scary is the fact that I am jonesing for Papa Johns pizza! Of course, that addiction will be taken care of later on tonight at dinner. Yipppeee!!

Cats, Drinks and TMI

Yep, more blog relish

I am getting to smart for my own good, or I have been watching too many of these cop shows on TV, because week after week, I am calling out who the murderer is before the 30 minute mark.

Why do cats insist on rolling on the bed when your making it?

How come I cant get my mojitos I make at home to taste as good as the mojitos I get at those Tiki Bars by the pool?

Wrong on so many levels:

Brain Dump

Alot of things in my head, but things that would never work out to be a full post. So, I jam it all together into the Blog Relish. :)

1.Why does it seem laundry never ends? Well it ends for me because I don't get to it everyday, but you get the drift...

2.If March is supposed to come in like a Lion and go out like a Lamb, or vice versa, what is an ice storm in the middle of the month, a rabid Wolverine?

3.Mrs Duck was watching Designers Challenge while I was cooking dinner. I couldn't totally hear the TV, but I was able to see the architecture, which struck me as very southern Mansion like. Here is the conversation upon my return to the living room.

Me-"So where is the show in this episode, Georgia?"
Mrs Duck-"No, I think its Atlanta"
I had to leave before I got in trouble

4. Stupid things heard on Cable News:
while talking to a criminologist about the street gang called Public Enemy No.1, who is allied with a bunch of prison white supremacist groups. "Why are they so dangerous Brian?" Hmm, maybe the fact that they are a street gang allied with prison white supremacist groups???

5.Imagine if she was sitting on the womans purse!
