On my first Comment, Feng Shui & Love, and a Pope that can't keep his trap shut

I had a comment today. Woweee my first comment, thank you Ms. Island Spice……

So she asked, about the progress of brother and Baal.

He dumped her.

Poor little Baal, Turns out the first week of university opened his eyes to a world of possibilities and punnanies… (Indecent word ~ do not repeat kids.) So Baal got the axe with a rather banal speech that included the mandatory: Hope we still can be friends, and need to concentrate on school.

Fathead looked rather pleased with himself that she took it so well. I warned him that you never get off the hook that easy and the time will come for tears and yelling. Men are so heartless.

The weekend was an utter bore of my own choosing. We managed to get our illegal subscription satellite up and running again, only to find the same movies that were playing in spring are still on. I did manage to watch V for Vendetta again, and Nanny McPhae.

Saturday night I decided to be cranky and stay home. I snuggled into my sofa and caught “Reds” a movie written, produced and starring Warren Beatty. Never occurred to me before but Warren Beatty is kind hot. He is obviously intelligent, charming in that ole southern charm kind of way, and not bad looking. Warren give me a holla sometime. The movie was really interesting, he is a socialistically inclined journalist who falls in love with Diane Keaton’s character, who is a huge odd ball.
They have this odd relationship, where he is obviously in love with her, though for the life of me I could not understand why. She has an affair with Jack Nicholson, who apparently has been creepy his entire life. Anyway not sure if they end up together, cuz I feel asleep in my cozy comforter, which tends to happen a lot these days. Is old age setting in?? It is an interestingly pro socialist stance made in the height of American anti communism. I love the one line in the movie, “Why do you think wars start? Warren Beatty Replies, Profits”


Sunday I went to watch S paint her wall yellow. S’s dad bought her a feng shui book, which S hadn’t bothered to read. Her mother did read it and realized a few things. First off S’s peach colored wall was a huge reason S was not meeting any suitable marriageable candidates. Also apparently keeping single figures bodes badly for your love life. Thus S, who never did like the peach wall to begin with, decided she had nothing to loose, and bought a can of canary yellow paint. I supervised the entire affair and the wall looks fabulous. I think my directions of ‘you missed a spot’ were key to the perfect finish achieved. I will let you know if S manages to find the perfect man in the next month. If so we will then be holding seminars on our new found knowledge and charge $100 per head, please send me your name and email for advance sign up.


And last but no least, our erring Pope, who can’t see to keep his trap shut. But then again a lot of people are asking Why should he? Apparently our spiritual leader in his white ‘Harry Potter’ outfit made a reference to some Byzantine emperor who said “"Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."

Here are my two simple observations on the matter, First off the only major change the Pope has made since he was in office was to demote the head of Islamic Relations (according to BBC,) a person seen as an expert, perhaps the Pope is a little evilly inclined and wanted to stir the pot. Secondly, what is with people in the Middle East and Islamic countries in general? Don’t they have jobs? It seems like they are ready to and available to riot/protest at the drop of a hat. It is sort of akin to Trinis and fetes announce one and boom they all ready to jump up and party. (Yes that is a somewhat ignorant observation, but hey its my blog.) Seems like the Middle East/Islamic world needs less religion and more jobs or women.
