amelia earhardt vs. the dancing bear

now i now i should really be getting to bed but the guilt of not having written in this blog has taken over me tonight... tonight i giveth myself over.

sometimes i wonder what kind of life my cat had before i got her. now she is getting really attentive and clingy, but when i try to give her affections, half the time she runs away, afraid of me. why? i can understand the idea of a big hairless hand ready to grab your waist is scary, but it's all in the name of love. maybe someone in her past used lures of affection as a pathway to violence. oh how terrible to think of. lets not think these thoughts.

my dog, phoebe, from home is in the hospital. she is in the hospital because she ate HER COLLAR. yes, you heard that right. my 10 year old dog ate her own dog collar. when my mom told me this, i cried, i worried that my phoebe's stupidity would do her in this time, like it has almost threatened her thrice before. but when i was telling this story to my roommates, i started laughing. because it's funny. my dog is really not smart. loyal, but not smart. i looked at my cat and i just knew that whatever she did, i at least was at ease knowing she would not eat her little red collar.

other mentionable events have unfolded this evening, some more mentionable than others, uhh, okay. where was i going with that? after much excitement/hype for a Little Jefferson party, we surrendered to watching National Lampoon's European Vacation, and afterwards i proceeded to watch craig ferguson (good), oprah (scary-- more on that later), and poker after dark (who knew?), and ate a little honey ice cream (highly recommended from the haagen daz "reserve"). it felt really good to sit and watch late night tv.

so, back to oprah. tonight oprah talked about this book called the new earth or maybe a new earth by eckhard follet (i know i spelled the name wrong). its a book to help the common man find their spiritual purpose in life. i'm like, isnt that what the bible was for? this book basically translated the bible, passage for passage. jenny mccarthy (seriously) so eloquently put it, if i can recall correctly, "when i was reading this book, it was like i was waking up from a dream... the dream [teary eyes]... was my life." so poignant, jen. her beau jim carrey also added some scary sounding scientolgoy self-actualization crap, which is when i began to tune into the eerieness of all of this, but then rest assured that it was nothign new, this is no new brainwash, this is just he bible translated for people who are too lazy to go to church. let the crusades live on!
