I would never be so lucky to get 5 more chances. Britney missed her deposition for the 5th time yesterday and it was rescheduled for today. She finally showed up to it today, almost 2 hours late. But, 5 misses begs the question: If I skipped out on 5 depositions, what would happen to my average girl butt? Would I be tossed in jail for disobeying a court order? Would I be fined? Would I get a total of 6 chances or would they just give up and throw the law at me like a ton of bricks? I feel wronged in some way by the fact that Britney got a grand total of 5 reschedules for her Deposition for a total of 6 scheduled slots. And, she couldn't even show up to her Re-re-re-re-rescheduled Deposition on time. Not just late, but really, really late! WTF? Something is very wrong with our legal system when a twat like Britney is given multiple chances to spit in the face of the court! But, whatever! It's Britney Bitches!
To top it all off, because she was nearly 2 hours late, they had to cut today's deposition short and the questioning only lasted 13 minutes!
For the love of God! Please! Throw the gavel at her on her way into prison custody!

Breathing New Life Into Old Sayings...
"When I eased open the door, I encountered no tattooed thug, which meant that gravity would soon fail and that bears would henceforth leave the woods to toilet in public lavatories."
(Forever Odd by Dean Koontz, pg. 151).
This is just one of many reasons that I love Dean Koontz. After sitting in an airport for an extra 2 and a half hours due to a delay with our chosen airline, and suffering from my third really horrible cold of the season, he managed to get a giggle out of me while in flight on my way home after my Christmas vacation.
I have tooted Dean Koontz's horn a lot in this blog. He deserves it! He makes me laugh when I can't imagine that I even have the proper ingredients inside myself to mix together a nice batch of laughter. He makes me cry...which isn't the hardest thing to do...but, to do it simply through written words on a page is pretty incredible in my mind. The man is a genius with words.
So, he took 2 old sayings, "What goes up must come down" and, "Does a bear shit in the woods?" And he just reworked them to suit the situation perfectly and managed to grab a giggle out of a woman who was progressively getting more and more aggravated at the inconsiderate, incompetent, piss poor service of her chosen airline. No, I will not call them out in this rather public forum as I don't want to get into any trouble. Just trust me when I say that they were not only 2 and a half hours late, but when they switched gates on us, the gate agent came on over the loud speaker a grand total of one time to holler at everyone that our gate had changed. I got up and quickly went to make sure that the hubby and I heard correctly and caught her with her coat on, her purse on her shoulder, grabbing her carry on and making a mad rush for the new gate. I stopped her, asked if she said our gate had been changed, got the bitchiest, shortest answer. A very snotty "Yes!". Then, to made triple sure, I specified my flight number and got another aggravated and emphatic "Yes!". This bitch needs some serious customer service training, STAT!
So, back to the point of this post...I adore Dean Koontz for a lot of reasons and now, I can add his ability to take me from pissed off to giggling in one short paragraph!
So, given my long airport wait, I finished half of this book on the way home from my Christmas trip and the last half of it today!
Again, Bravo Dean Koontz! Forever Odd is another edge of your seat read in the Odd Thomas series! I loved it! It starts off gripping and leaves you hoping for more!

Perhaps The Coolest Thing I Have Ever Seen!
I don't know if what I saw was an optical illusion or, what it really is. But, since I traveled for Christmas this year, I had to fly. I had a window seat and when I looked outside, I saw a rainbow in the clouds. I have never been above a rainbow before but, what I saw was so awe inspiring. What we see from Earth is an arch and we all wonder where a rainbow begins and ends. What I saw from above the clouds and above a rainbow was a perfect circle with no ending or beginning. It was simply a beautiful, perfectly circular colorful ring! So cool that I struggle to put it into words. So, the question is, is a rainbow really and arch with a beginning and an end or a circle that seems to surround us from above? Either way, Rainbows are nothing short of beautiful reminders that our world is colorful and mysterious!
Invasion by Robin Cook
Over vacation, I finished another book. This is an author whom I would swear I've read before but, since I can't seem to find any books by him in my library, I guess I am wrong. Anyway, the book was Invasion by Robin Cook. It was captivating! A Sci-Fi roller coaster ride! I loved it and I believe you will too!

I'm Confused...
There is only one daytime soap that I watch and that is General Hospital. So, I don't like to prop up the stereotype that Soaps are for women but, let's face it, woman make up the majority of Soap Opera viewers.
So, that being said, who do the writers of General Hospital think watches their soap? First of all, the predominant storylines always circle around Sonny Corinthos and his role as the King of the top mob presence in Port Charles. Fine! But, since when are mob stories something that the majority of women women really like to watch? It is in my most humble opinion that men tend to watch shows and movies having to do with the mob more than women. What is it doing on a show where the viewership is comprised mostly of women?
Next, we see a lot of scenes where the women are all sexied up in eye popping outfits meant to turn the viewer on. I want to see the men of General Hospital nearly naked. Not the ladies. They don't do anything for me and I make up more of the show's viewership than the other gender.
I think the writers need to get their priorities straight and realize who they are writing for.

Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?
My friend sent this to me and, I couldn't help but share! My favorites are the last 6!
While you are at it...why do you think the Chicken Crossed The Road? Besides the standard answer of "To get to the other side." Be creative! I think he crossed the road for a chic! Why else do chickens cross roads?
Sorry Folks. I will have to find another way to post this because, upon looking at it today, I see how very bad it turned out! So, for now it is deleted! I will try to work on getting it back up later!

Journeyman...
I talked about this show yesterday. Last night, NBC aired what might be the shows series finale and I loved it. I hope that they bring it back but, if last night's episode was the series finale, I like how they wrapped it up in such a way that it could serve as a finale but, left room to bring it back.
Well done!
Well done!
An Answer...
I went searching for answers to why CBS aired reruns of NCIS, Criminal Minds and CSI: NY this week, despite everything saying that we were to expect new episodes. It appears as though networks are supporting the strike by airing reruns instead of the few episodes the shows have left.
Props to you for supporting your peeps but, perhaps you should let the rest of us in on your plans or risk pissing us all off and watch your networks fail when this all gets straightened out, because we are still stinging from your nice little FU to The Powers That Be. We are not the enemies. Stop punishing us because you are trying to prove a point!

A Nickname...
For those of you who have cats, you know that they don't tend to lay on their backs because it puts them in a very vunerable position. For a cat to lay on her back, she is showing how secure and comfortable she is in her surroundings.
As I have mentioned before, I have 3 cats and a honking huge dog. One of my cats lays on her back on the floor with decent regularity. Because of the position and the way it looks, my hubby and I have nicknamed this pose, the Hustler Pose. And, that is because, when she does it, she has her legs spread out and all her danglies out there for everyone to see, as if she is practicing for a photo shoot with Hustler Magazine.
It is more rare for us to see the other two cats in this position. But, recently, my youngest has started working the Hustler Pose.
Last night, I was watching some TV when the hubby told me that I had to hurry up and see "this". So, I ran upstairs (quietly as I know that that tends to mean someone is doing something cute and to make a lot of noise would make the cute stop happening). There is one piece of furniture in my house that my dog is allowed to sit, sleep and drool on and that is the futon in one of our spare bedrooms. There he was sprawled out and comfy and in front of his face was our youngest cat doing the Hustler Pose.
I posted a picture of the two of them cuddled up together in the past. Unfortunately, even they knew how unnatural their love is and how compromising to their futures a picture of their unnatural love at its rawest would be. So, before either my hubby or I could get a camera to catch them in the act of Hustler and observer, they both moved and there is no evidence of their transgression. Sorry folks! You would have loved it and felt dirty all at the same time!

The Best Thing Ever Said...
Sometimes people say things that should never be said. It makes them look really bad. I mean, really bad. But, it is so great that it becomes the best thing ever said simply for the sheer stupidity of it.
On this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County on Bravo, some of the Housewives' daughters are spokes models for an energy drink in the O.C. They drive around a Hummer that is wrapped in the company logo. Christen, one of the O.C. Angels, was driving but and got the attention of a motorcycle cop who promptly pulled them over due to her piss poor driving skills. The cop asked why they didn't have a license plate and she said that they just got the car. The cop said that they had that car since 2006, which he probably found when he ran the Vin number. So, the answer then was, "plates don't look good on this car!" And she was as serious as a heart attack.
That is the best thing I have ever heard anyone say! Not because I agree with her. Just because it is the most perfectly stupid excuse for laziness and stupidity!
