Yesterday Was Friday the 13th
Yesterday, R. Kelly was found not guilty and Tim Russert collapsed and died. Oh, and then there was a child predator cruising around outside my son's school after school, trying to get kids to get in the car with him. Total insanity.
It really was Friday the 13th, wasn't it?
It all had me feeling so down, that I did the unthinkable. I went to see "You Don't Mess With the Zohan." And I have to say, I laughed my azz off. I was doubled over in some places with tears streaming out of my eyes, especially when the guys call Hezbollah and get put on hold!
John Turturro as the terrorist "Phantom" was hilarious and Zohan with the Mariah Carey t-shirts was making me laugh just standing there. It was exactly what I needed to help me forget about how child molesters don't go to jail if they have enough money. I can't believe the jury later said they believed it was Kellz on the tape! WTF!
Ok, see, I'm getting all worked up again. I clearly need to remind myself of why I laughed so hard last night:
And now I'm headed out the door to do 10 million errands! Hope you have a great day!

The sad thing for me was not just the R. Kelly verdict but the hundreds of women outside the court waving and cheering him, when he came out. Okay, the guy was found not guilty. Does it mean we have to welcome this long-time pedophile back into the community. What's next, R. Kelly hosting an NAACP awards ceremony?
I couldn't believe the news about Russert or freaking pedophile R. Kelly. I'm not a fan of his (not sure why just never got into him). I wonder if he is going to be an even bigger star now. It's sick.
I read the girl refused to cooperate and that her family took money from him/his peeps.
Tim Russert was a dedicated dad, and he loved his dad so he was OK in my book.
I never once thought of seeing Zohan. Now perhaps I will (probably not).
Love it! I've been listening to Here is the House non-stop lately. It's just such a classic love song in it's own right.
Toni,
I hate to be superstitious like that but I was like, wow, what is going on? I guess it was Tim's time and surely he's in a better place, but the R. Kelly thing is just total ridiculousness. What a shame.
Macdaddy,
Not thinking worse of you at all. Russert sometimes annoyed me with the kinds of questions he'd ask AND the ones that he didn't ask. It does seem like he genuinely was loved by the folks that he worked with, which can't really be said about a great many bosses. I feel awful for his family.
Folks cheering Kelly when he came out? Not surprised by that. And, yes, innocent until proven guilty and it wasn't proved, so I guess he does deserve to be welcomed back, even if it makes folks wanna throw up.
Jameil,
Me too. I knew almost nothing about Zohan before I went but it's pretty funny at times. It definitely took my mind off of things.
NYC/CR,
He probably will be a bigger star. Here in my house, my husband still loves his music regardless of what Kellz does. We get into a huge argument everytime it comes up. I'm sure someone somewhere took money to keep quiet. Why else would you not say that it's you on the tape?
Keith,
I'm not surprised Kelly got off but I was secretly hoping justice would somehow, in some way, be served and he'd end up doing time. Sigh. Russert was quite a dedicated dad and that's something to be admired, no matter what. I would never have thought I'd be going to see Zohan either but it was a totally spur of the moment thing and I'm glad I did.

TR's death was a shock also. I really enjoyed his unbiased reporting & interviewing style. He really seemed to be a well rounded person who was about fairness.
His shoes will be hard as hell to fill & I know NBC is shitting in their pants as they scramble to find a sucessor.
Hope you are treating your boo well this Fathers Day!!!

Love the positivity! Most folks would think a root canal would be the end of the world, the essence of bad luck. In reality, not being able to afford a dentist and then being stuck with the decaying tooth is worse!
Lola,
Yeah, what was up with that? Was it storm induced or something else? Sigh, I'm sure evil-doers the world over took note!
Bygbaby,
We ran my husband all over the place today. He actually wanted to go home to lie down at around 4PM. Oh, and he got an Ironman videogame. I figure it'll help him occupy his time while the rest of us are away this summer.
I continue to be struck by how many of the folks who worked with Russert really liked him. There's no vibe like they're just making up some b.s. just because he passed. I am sure NBC is scrambling like crazy. I'll bet they'll beg Tom Brokaw to be the interim person and have Chuck Todd help. As for R. Kelly -- does this mean folks have to stop calling him the Pied Pedo?? ?And how nice would it be if suddenly all his fans dropped him like a hot potato and refused to buy his records anymore?
Tim Russert was 58 years old - wow that's young.
"Either way hell may be a long way's away but we can certainly do our best to prepare all of them for the journey." 100% agree and I think the punishments on this earth for pedophiles/child molesters are too lax as it is. I believe they deserve life in prison.
Claudia,
I sometimes feel like I have to be "brilliant" in comments too. Why is that? And does R. Kelly have a record coming out? In a lot of ways it's not just him but the whole machine over at the record company. He's gotten rich and lots of people have gotten rich off of him so they have a stake in keeping him out of jail.
And Russert was young wasn't he. I saw part of the interview with his son. Seems like a great kid. I don't know he's holding it together though. I already know I'm gonna be a hot mess when one of my parents dies.
