| I'm watching 'Million Dollar Listing.' Chad got a haircut that costs $600.00. Then at his 32nd birthday party his girlfriend gave him half ownership of her dog Starla. (this is what he wanted more than anything in the world) They just signed a contract and if Chad and his girlfriend break up they each get custody of Starla for 2 weeks. He has a Beatles haircut.
Sister and I have been trying for 2 days now to give a little birthday party for one of our comrades (from SF who lives nearby) and both times we called to go over to their house the birthday chap wasn't feeling well enough for company. I've been staring at a German chocolate cake all day and it's been torture. Finally one of the lads came over to pick up the cake and flowers and card and gift and took it all home to the birthday boy. I was hoping he would offer me a piece of cake before leaving with it but no luck.  We do have some gluten free chocolate cake mix to make cupcakes with but I still have to get a muffin pan to bake some cupcakes in. I hope gluten free cupcakes taste good. 
I'm now going to watch 'California Dreamin', The Songs of the Mamas & the Papas.' It's on the publc TV station.

| The video was funny. It showed the end of the world (in 2012) and Sarah Palin winning the presidency. (which is the same thing) Glenn Beck was the Vice President. Their campaign slogan was 'The Idiot and the Blubbering Idiot'. (I made that part up)  I don't know why they took the video off. Maybe it was just too scary. 
The Nureyev book is getting much more interesting now that he's decided to leave the Soviet Union and join the rest of the World. After he defected in Paris the Soviets were going to have Nureyev's legs broken so he couldn't dance anymore. Fortunately that didn't happen. Well, how could he go back to the Soviet Union after seeing Paris?  Rudolf was a difficult person. His ego was bigger than mine. But of course his talent was worth it. I remember in 1967 when he and Margot Fonteyn were arrested in San Francisco at a party in the Haight Ashbury. God those were exciting times.
I made my new header in Photoshop Elements. I don't know what it is but I like it. 
Tonight I have to listen to KDVS because it's going to be music from the 'Lone Star' state. I think that's Texas.
 Texas is nicknamed the Lone Star State to signify Texas as an independent republic and as a reminder of the state's struggle for independence from Mexico. | | |
| I got the drop shadows back but GIMP didn't like me messing with the fonts again so I just forgot the fonts. I shall remain fontless but dauntless.
The Senate just voted to move the health care reform bill on to a debate which will start after the Thanksgiving break. Not one of the 40 Republicans voted yes. I watched quite a bit of the debating today on C-span and the Democrats talked about people and how the health insurance industry has hurt and killed so many Americans. The Republicans only talked about money. Money, money, money. They don't care about people who don't have health insurance, they only care about money. It's funny the Republicans didn't care about money when Bush wanted to go to war in Iraq. They were all for that. But now they care about money. I'd rather go into debt helping Americans than starting wars. Democrats haves hearts, Republicans are heartless. I really feel that way.

| omg, my header. The 'drop shadow' is missing.  I worked on it for at least an hour and GIMP crashed and now the drop shadow disappeared. I was so thrilled to get the holes centered in the rectangle. I learned a lot anyway. I'll try again. What is it about using fonts that causes crashes in GIMP and Photoshop Elements? Fonts give me anxiety.
Tomorrow is a big vote in the Senate just to see if they can get the health reform bill up for debate. Three Democrat senators had to be bribed just to get their vote. Politicians can be incredibly selfish. They care more about their political careers than they do about the people of this country. The vote is supposed to be about 8 PM so that'll be 7 PM here.
It rained a lot today. I was going to clean the parrot cages today but I couldn't because of the rain. Thank you rain.

| I just watched the season finale (part 2) of 'Project Runway.' There was no stand-out designer this season so I didn't really care who won. They were all too conservative for me. So now a new episode of 'Real Housewives of Orange County' is on. I had to take an allergy pill this afternoon and I think that's why these housewives are almost unbearable. I'm too drowsy for all those plastic boobs.
Speaking of plastic fantastic lovers, yesterday I got a new 2-CD set in the mail. It's the 'Jefferson Airplane' Woodstock performance and it also includes their album 'Volunteers'. I didn't know they did such a long performance at Woodstock. They really rock on this CD. The sound is a little rough but it's historical significance makes it worth it. The song 'Wooden Ships' is 21 minutes long. Far out.
