Seventies Child

So Mrs. CB and I, while waiting for our gals to play, were watching a game between Liberty and DePaul. Liberty, an underdog team, beat Teh Ev01 Penn State last week so we enjoyed watching them play.

Mrs. CB: Go Liberty! Eat that Rene Portland!(we're not hatahs,really) Go Liberty!

Me: Uh, babe, Liberty was founded by Jerry Falwell. Originated as Lynchburg Baptist College.

Mrs. CB: I hate those fuckers! Go DePaul!!

Our gals won and are headed to Philly for the Sweet Sixteen. We toyed with the idea of driving there to watch the game, but my back said no, so we will be staying home to watch it.

I stopped to grab some wine and steaks on my way home yesterday. I decided to get us a "treat" as well since I was starting a vaca, and Mrs. CB will be starting spring break in about 24 hours. I asked for 2 flourless chocolate cakes, then realized that Mrs. CB is notsofond of Teh Cake. They were already boxed up, and I didn't want to tell the bakery person to put one back after all her hard work, so I am eating them both. Yay for PMS justification. And the wife? I got her some cherry pie. And she was more than happy ;)

This is why I hate driving in Columbus. Four accidents like this in 3 months. Dumbasses!

This is why I don't work for the (red)State of Ohio.

I just found out that Dubya is coming to town tomorrow. I wonder if he's bringing the twins ;)

It's been a very weird, yet newsworthy 24 hours here in Columbus. We apparently have had another string of shootings (following the Highway Sniper of 2003) and a suspect was arrested yesterday afternoon. Mayor COleman has decided to run for Governor and it is possible that he may find himself up against Jerry Springer. Yes, that Jerry Springer. And then one of the Ohio Supreme Court Justices was busted for DUI . (I dated the daughter of an Ohio Supreme Court Justice...it was kinda cool.) I laughed inappropriately when Justice Resnick told the State patrol that she always thought Troopers should be driving the Court members all over Ohio. Probably wasn't the best time to mention that there, Alice.

I also found my "notebook". This contains all the SVU notes I took while researching Teh Essay. It also had the beginning of a filk I wanted to finish. Heh heh...let the earworms commence.

And why does my "contemplative" kitty mood thing look like it's trying to bring up a hairball? I find it disturbing, yet oh so familiar.

Mrs. CB and I went to the grocery this afternoon to get the shit we need for poker tomorrow night. I could not believe how crazy that place was. People- we are getting some snow. They are not calling for a blizzard. If they were, I'd have been raiding ABC liquor and hitting all my friends up for porn. But to be on the safe side, we did grab some extra wine and a 12-pack of Corona. And limes.

It looks like my city is trying to become little NYC. A Downtown News Station will surely propel us into that select group of cities that does not need the state added behind it. I can't wait to see some of the local yokels broadcasting like they are on the Today show. [/sarcasm]

My poor cat has kitty pink-eye. And he runs when he sees me coming for him because I am the "bad mama" that has to put the ointment in his eye.

Did I mention that there are some seriously fucked people on the internet?

It's still a bit strange to hear your city's name on the national news. Earlier this week, we saw a story about how she ain't gonna take it no more then last night, there was a night club shooting not far from our neighborhood.

There's some holiday spirit for ya!
