Uh.. Hi?

For some reason, I am strangely obsessed with Shakira’s Gypsy AND the Spanish versions of She Wolf and Did It Again. I’ve always been a fan of Shakira, especially when she sings in Spanish. She’s just so mesmerising to watch and her voice is amazing.

I have a few things on my mind. One thing is this whole Adam Lambert at the AMA’s thing. I’m open-minded, kinky and enjoy some.. adult.. activities, BUT what he did on the AMA’s was inappropriate. Not the kiss, that was no different then Britney and Madonna. The rest of it. The blatant sexual actions were not appropriate for an awards show. I said the same thing with Miley Cyrus at the VMA’s and her pole dancing on the ice cream cart. He can say that was late night television, but it was not! 8pm on a Sunday is NOT late night, especially for a holiday week where a lot of kids are blessed to get the whole week off.

Now, I will say that there are others who have done some pretty lewd and inappropriate performances, so it’s not solely Adam who needs to be called on the carpet. What about Borat’s nearly-bare ass in Eminem’s face? That wasn’t a stunt gone bad, that was planned and as far as I’m concerned, inappropriate for the time slot. What’s going to happen is that shows are not going to be aired live soon. Sucks, but whatever.

Tomorrow should be fun. I get to make my cheesecake. Yum. Thanksgiving preps are in full swing already. Yay. Roasting of the squash will be done tomorrow as well, so all we have to do is reheat it Thursday. Dressing is made, the fruit is prepped for the Pistachio Pudding Salad. We haven’t had it in years. It was something my aunt used to make, once she passed, Mom started making it.

Thursday should be a fairly easy day. I plan on being a vegetable and plopping my ass in front of the television most of the day when I’m not helping Mom. We’ll probably watch DVD’s after the Parade, since I’m the only one who really watches football.

I can’t believe it’s nearly December already. It’s been in the 50′s lately. Wth? Not that I mind. The longer it takes to get cold, the better I like it. Sucks for the hunters though.

Friday, Rob works 3:45am-11:30. Sucks to be him. We’re going to the parade that night, though. Gonna hafta go early to find somewhere good to park along the route.

I need to figure out what to make for a potluck dinner on the 12th. I know, it’s a while off, but if I don’t figure it out soon, I will be scrambling. I think I want to make baked ziti, but I can never make it good twice in a row. I also have no idea what kind of dietary restrictions I have to be concerned about, since it’s for the paper. I plan on making 2 things, one main dish and one dessert. Aunt Dolly’s Baked Beans is one thing I’m thinking of. Another thought was Mom’s Mac ‘n cheese. I’d do one of my famous stir-fry dishes, but they don’t transport well, nor ‘sit’ well. I keep going back to the baked ziti and Mom’s meatballs. The dessert? Not quite sure on that yet, either. Thinking cookies or cupcakes of some sort.

I’m grumpy. I’m tired. I have things that I want to say, but won’t. I have things I want to do, but can’t. I just.. Ugh. I guess I’m done rambling tonight.
