MJ

I realize I'm a bit late here, since the Michael Jackson post-mortem media blitz train has come and gone, but he's been on my mind since I watched This is It yesterday with the parentals. I hadn't planned to see it, but it was actually kind of nice to get a glimpse into his latest work.

He was still amazing (far better than I will ever be) but definitely showing his age. You wouldn't know it unless you compared it to this, though:



Makes me want sequined everything. Like these Alessandro Dell'Acqua gold sequin pants that MJ wore in the film:

So much for New Year's Resolutions

SPH sent me a text recently reminding me that I reeeeeeally need to update my blog. I've been a very bad blogger for the past...um...year, I guess. Sorry to my legions of fans (all three of you).

So here's a restart. No promises. Let's see what happens.

There's been a lot of Facebook posting lately about things you are thankful for. I'm definitely thankful for all of the important things (friends, family, health, job, home, food, safety, etc.) but I thought I'd examine the not-so-major things that just make me happy. Here are some of them:

1) The Internet. I love random facts and I love that the Internet gives them to me.

2) Zachary's Pizza. Yum.

3) Having small feet.

4) PBS and NPR. If you're nerdy and you know it clap your hands.

5) Libraries.

6) Trader Joe's.

7) Tokyo, Bombay, and Amsterdam.

8) Miniature anything.

9) Tampons.

10) DVR.
