Here's my poem for today:

Television eye strain
CNN news brain drain
Money woes
dirty clothes
Wonder why
the car won't go?
I'd rather know
the words that flow.
Rhyme quatrain
is not my thing
Forcing poems
makes you think
creative thoughts
for words that link.

And that is a good thing. (tm)

Boring quiet day. Managed to intercept a few temper tantrums this evening at home, which was wonderful. Read to her from the journal I began when I learned I was pregnant.  She's enjoying that very much, and so am I. 

We watched NOVA last night, all about cuttlefish. They are such amazing creatures! Remarkably intelligent, devious, beautiful. Just incredible.  

When I told Brent last night that we were missing Idol in order to watch NOVA, it just melted his cold little heart.  He's missed two days of work so far this week, fighting another bout of heavy drinking.  Lots of talk tonight about what he needs to do, and how his brokenness is fixable. He's so pitiful. 

I'm tired, and disappointed that Tony Bennett didn't sing on Idol tonight. What a crappy substitute, off-key and smarmy.  Where the hell is Connick, Jr. when we need him?  *deep breath while imagining Connick in jeans and no shoes*  *shudder*

Anyway, as long as Melinda remains, the show has some hope. The sooner they get rid of Sanjaya the better - who the fuck is letting these 12 year old girls vote?? Somebody ought to take away their cell phones! 

G'nite ya'll.

Why thanks! I kinda like it too.

I'm interested to hear what Sanjaya's name means - I'm sure his parents had high hopes for him. At 17, I don't think he's quite lived up to that name yet. He's a sweet boy, and he can sing, just not as well as the fans are giving him credit.
