still sick, check out betty's blog and mikey likes it!

did you hear the majority report last night? at 1 point janeane garofalo is talking with sam seder and the news guy bill crowley and she starts hacking (orange peel). that's what i sound like today ... in a good moment.

may no have much to offer.

i woke up feeling so much better. then i got out of bed and could tell i wasn't that much better.
i grabbed one of those packets of cider and made some hot cider. sat at the computer because i was too tired of lazy to go turn on the tv.

the smartest thing i may have done this morning was read betty's blog.

she has a new entry up. i think of it as 'went to a garden party.' you know the old song by rick nelson?

she also works in third estate sunday review's editorial and c.i.'s thing on the military using women as bargaining chips. how does betty do that?

she turns it into a kind of poetry slam party instead of a garden party.

it's very funny and i hope you'll make a point to check it out.

i laughed so hard i was spitting up stuff. between betty's hilarious writing and the hot cider, i got rid of most of the congestion.

and can we talk about tall and hot and dreamy?

mikey likes it! is the newest blog to spin off from the common ills.

i'm guessing we're like the mary tyler moor show by now. you had mtm, then you had rhoda, then phyllis, lou grant and i'm sure i'm missing something. and we have c.i. (toss that hat in the air, c.i.! you're gonna' make it after all.) you have folding star, the third estate sunday review, betty, kat, myself and now mikey.

he goes by mike, if you're a friend, michael if you're a stranger.

but he's mikey to me because i think he's just adorable. in writing and in person. in spirit and in body. mikey if i were feeling better i'd give you a proper blog greeting but for now, i'll just say welcome. the blog world got a lot better with you in it.
