Good morning boys, girls, and mares. The sun is shining, the birds are signing, the pollen is driving my allergies haywire. And I’m up earlier than I usually am because a friend in Spain texted me that she wanted to Skype, but now is nowhere to be seen online. Meh.
It’s another wonderful day in the neighborhood.
On Friday I went to see the Suicide Girls Blackheart Burlesque show in LA. It was… ok. I’m not a huge fan of overtatted girls with lots of piercings. And there were only about six performers in total who kept rotating through different acts. They tried too hard and focused way too much on parodying pop culture. There were acts with themes like Harry Potter, Thriller, Donnie Darko (?!) and of course, Disney princesses. Because we can’t have women getting naked without bringing Disney into it somehow. It’s a rule somewhere, I think. All in all, I probably wouldn’t go back for another show.
Today is the anniversery of the Doolittle raid on Japan. God rest those brave men. It’s also the anniversary of the United States Embassy bombing in Beirut.

Go forth and kick ass. I will be over here reading about financial regulation and wishing I’d made better life choices. Like selling cocaine.
