Enquiring Minds, and All That

The radio interview went well, and there's even a link to the transcript on the Furfection website. The show won't air until January 26th, but I'll post the necessary info when the time comes.

As a general rule, I don't usually believe my horoscope, but there are times when I have to scratch my head and go, "WTF?" This week was one of those. I had to think long and hard about exposing the "dirty little secret" about pet shampoos. Companies are so lawsuit-happy, you never know when you'll get hit with one. In the end, of course, I decided to tell all. So far, no regrets. Then I read my horoscope for this week.

If this secret goes on much longer, it's going to make you crazy. You want to tell a certain someone about a certain issue, but you're not sure that you should -- and uncertainty isn't your usual state of mind. In fact, if anyone is perpetually sure about their next move, it's you. This, however, is an extreme circumstance, and you know it. You're also painfully aware of what can happen from one false move. Don't worry, you won't be making it.

OK. If that doesn't apply to me this week, nothing does. Isn't it strange how horoscopes work sometimes?? Kinda spooky, wouldn't you say?

My new espresso machine arrived today, and the very first latte I made was perfect. How cool is that?! I have to admit, I have 10 years of experience with a home espresso machine, so there really wasn't a reason for it to be bad. My old machine is exactly 10 years old, and it's been a great machine. I thought it was time for a new one since the old one was a bit sluggish, even after descaling. It would still make a great "first" machine for somebody.

The new one makes hardly any noise during the frothing process, compared to the old one. OMG. You could turn the TV as loud as possible and the old one's frothing noise was still louder than THAT. Really a rude way to start the morning, but the coffee was good:-)

Now for the serious stuff. Am I really the only living being that DOES NOT CARE about Angelina's pregnancy? How many more times can that woman grace the cover of People magazine before they just change the name to hers? For doG's sake, wouldn't they have sold just as many copies if they'd had the dead miners and their families as the cover story? I don't want to see her photo ever again. If there were some way to boycott her, I would, simply because I'M SICK OF SEEING AND HEARING ABOUT HER. IMO, she was much more interesting when she was with Billy Bob and they wore a vial of each other's blood on a necklace. Freaky, definitely, but much more interesting. What's so captivating about someone who stole another woman's husband, adopted two foreign kids, then got pregnant by the stolen husband? Come on, people! Have you never been to the Midwest, for doG's sake?

On that note, it's bedtime for Ms. President:-)
