RTT: Rock the Casbah

*The title of this post has nothing to do with the post itself. It's just RANDOM! Though I dare you not to sing that song when you hear it on the radio. Or in your head just now. You're welcome.

*Speaking of music (weren't we?), I meant to mention last week that I hope Sir Paul McCartney is happy with his new bride. I guess he just "need[s] somebody to love." Though I hoped he learned his lesson the last time and didn't pick "just anybody."

*I may not crack you up, but I sure crack myself up.

*Anyone know what happens when, in England, a couple who has a title through the man gets divorced? Does she lose her "Lady" title? I'm thinking of Sir Paul and his previous wife. If you know the answer, leave me a comment or shoot me an email. I'm sure I could do some research and find out, but I'm too lazy for that.

*Clearly being pregnant affected my alcohol tolerance level.  James Bond and I cracked open a bottle of 2007 LaCave Gros Manseng wine (made with muscat grapes-sweet, fruity and freaking delicious!) and 2 glasses made me slightly tipsy!  WHAT???  Clearly I need to up my wine consumption.  In the name of upping my tolerance.  Yeah, sure.

*Han Solo was 6 weeks old yesterday!  Holy crap! Where are the days going???  BTW, he is now 8lbs 1oz and 22" long.  My baby is growing!!!!

*Indy graduated from the lower level of Cub Scouting and will be a WEBELOS next year.    OMG, he's not a baby anymore!  He was so excited, especially when then put the "traditional" face paint on him before he crossed the bridge.  Seriously, they cross a real bridge used just for graduations.  WEBELOS wear a different uniform from the other Cub Scouts, and also different from the Boy Scouts.  I think this level is just a ply from the BSA to get more money out of us.

*Indy and James Bond were supposed to go camping with the Scouts this coming weekend, but because of the whole killing of OBL, the Scouts cancelled it due to the "increased terrorism thread" to Americans in Europe.  You see how bad OBL was???  Even in death he's screwing things up.  How evil are you when you mess with the Boy Scouts?  Bastard.

*Indy was bummed about not going camping, so I went to the USO to tour some of the Rhein River castles instead.  I actually booked just the 2 of us because he's gotten far less attention than he's used to from me since Han Solo came along (though still he gets far more than many kids do) and I thought it would be good to have a day that was just the 2 of us.  James Bond is going to stay home with Han Solo and do...whatever.  Indy is very excited.

*Why is John McCain in Pakistan trying to sooth their ruffled feathers?  It doesn't fit with his "rogue" politician ways.  Personally, I think he needs to tell them to suck it.

*When I was typing "politician" I accidentally typed "plotitician."  That is genius!

*You all know how I feel about Angelina Jolie, right? Yeah, you do. So, WHY then does she have to go and do really cool stuff that I have to respect her for?  Damn it all.  This past week she was at Ramstein AFB and the Landstuhl hospital meeting with wounded service members.  I know she does a lot of good things, but this one hits close to home for me and makes it harder to dislike her and hold my never ending grudge for being a home wrecker AND more importantly for kissing Johnny Depp.  Oh, I still dislike her, don't get me wrong, it's just HARDER.

*It's depressing to hear on the news that the Morganza spillway hasn't been opened in "nearly 40 years" and then realize that the last time it was opened was the year I was born.

*Arnold has a love child.  Huh.  I feel like I should be surprised by this, but somehow...I'm not.  Plotiticians!


*Maybe Arnold should have taken this advice:

*And just in case it left your head while reading this post, I'll leave you with this:
