Spring cleaning
When I receive emails like this one from my animal shelter coordinator:
We are in crisis mode! We received 37 cats yesterday from a cat hoarder in ___ and will probably be receiving another 50 today from another cat hoarder in ___. We need you, your friends and your family to help us. We are desperately searching for foster homes to help house these cats... there isn't enough room or staff at the shelter to house them all! If you have space in your home please, please call me or respond to this email!
It makes me want to take some people by the shoulders and shake them until their teeth rattle.
.
For some reason, I have decided I need to know what George Clooney sees in Sarah Larson. Now, I do not have any shrines devoted to Sir Clooney. I don't follow with minute precision his every move or dating whatever. I enjoy his work, I thought he was a hunk of gorgeous during his "ER" heyday, and he appears to wear a tux with all the requisite elan. That's about it. So, why did I even notice? Oh, cuz it's everywhere:
How bar girl Sarah Larson snagged George Clooney
George Clooney's New Gal Turns Heads in Venice
Anyway, when I could have been writing or reading or grooming a rabbit, that's what I was doing last night - searching the 'nets for info on Sarah Larson.
Gah. It's such a time-waster, the internets - and I don't care! I'm all about french kissing it right on the lips!
.
Here's a thing, oh, you Writers. I stumbled upon it yesterday. Come on, go for it, brave new world and all that: In The Motherhood.
.
As mentioned, it's Spring Cleaning! I have bags and bags of books. I already donated a whole carload, sold some to the great used place in town, and still have more to give. Would you like one of these books? (dust bunny optional)

I may not live and breathe George Clooney, but it comes damn close at times. What does he see in Sarah? Why, she's a redhead, and that's all that should matter, of course! (wink wink) I think she seems nice and normal... whatever normal means. She is pretty, but not over-the-top beautiful. They make a nice-looking couple. I hope they are happy together for years to come, as I much prefer to see George with her than with Renee Zellweger.
I'm a huge fan of In the Motherhood... did you know that the Academy is now allowing online content like webisodes and online films to be eligible for nomination in this years Primetime Emmy's. I think last year they were allowed for the DT Emmy's, so it's pretty cool they're actually considering online amateur/indie footage for nomination this year. If you're interested or want to read more, check out www.emmys.com. I'm workin with the Academy to help spread the message about the new nominations, so if you get to check it out let me know! It would be great to see the girls from In the Motherhood win an award =)
George seems like a guy who doesn't take himself too seriously, which is refreshing.
I can't watch In the Motherhood. I'm boycotting Leah Remini since she said Brooke Shields shouldn't be allowed around children because she had PPD.
Oooh! Oooh! I've been searching for Alternadad. Could you be so kind??
