But no. Once again evil has risen like a phoenix and the dreams will start again.
The Wardrobe Malfunction is back in the news and I must relive the horror once again.
Pardon me - I must take a breath and relax.
The courts have overturned the $550,000 fine imposed by the FCC and families and children across the nation are the losers. I can still see Janet Jackson's bejeweled right breast, her leather bustier in tatters. Like a train wreak I can not stop staring. Justin Timberlake looking shocked and repulsed at the vivid scene in front of him is unbelieving. Who knew this could ever happen on live TV.How can I go on. I MUST go on.
Go to my happy place.

Striving for Mediocrity
If any of you artists out there are looking for a doodle subject, at SOME point I'm going to need a label for the brew. Just thought I'd toss that one out to see what sticks. If I have to do it myself you don't know WHAT is going to happen.

This morning I came up with a new name for an as yet to be brewed beer.
John DillinAle. Complex yet soft and slightly sweet but still has a kick!
=========================================
Seventy-Four years ago today John Dillinger was shot to death outside Chicago's Biograph Theater by John Michael Bolger . . . .wait . . .that's not exactly right.Members of the "John Dillinger Died for You Society" traditionally gather at the Biograph Theater on the anniversary of Dillinger's death and retrace his last walk to the alley where he died, following a bagpiper playing "Amazing Grace".
Anyway - I updated Wikipedia which had it wrong by saying filming STARTED in Crown Point! HA!! Here is the updated Wiki version.
Director Michael Mann's current project Public Enemies - an adaptation of Bryan Burrough's book Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933-43 - features Johnny Depp as John Dillinger and Christian Bale as FBI agent Melvin Purvis. Filming began in Columbus Wisconsin and included locations in Oshkosh, Milwaukee, Madison, Manitowish Waters, Beaver Dam, and Darlington, Wisconsin, Crown Point, Indiana and Chicago, Illinois.
That's better - Columbus gets top billing for being first - NOT Crown Point.

And in Old Cars Weekly
Who is that striking gray glob pictured in the middle column bottom photo on the left. What? is that ME?? They just can not take a bad photo of me can they!! Just look at that friendly smile!==================================
WOW - this morning I was in pain.
I was sleeping like a log and all of a sudden I an wreathing in intense pain. I'm grabbing my calf and I can feel a baseball size knot - worst pain I have had in a long time. Once I'm able to get out of my fetal position I fall back to sleep and dream I'm checking into the hospital but the check in person is on a tiny TV and it is so loud I can not hear her.
The final question to get admitted is I must read her lips! WTF kind of hospital is this anyway!!!
Finally I'm in a wheel chair and I don't even get a room to myself and THEN the nurse says I have to pay for this visit.!!!! I guess insurance does not cover cramps!
I wake up and my right leg IS STILL CRAMPED!! I can barely put weight on it.
I have the dreaded Nocturnal leg cramp.
Upon further review I find something very scary - read on.
The precise cause of these cramps is unclear. Potential contributing factors are believed to include dehydration, low levels of certain minerals (magnesium, potassium, calcium, and sodium), and the reduced blood flow through the muscles attendant in prolonged sitting or lying down. Less common causes include more serious conditions or the use of drugs.
But then I read this!!
Nocturnal leg cramps (almost exclusively calf cramps) are considered to be 'normal' during the late stages of pregnancy.
OH NO!!!!! I'm too old to have children.
I have to go now - I have to go to Walgreen's to get a pregnancy test.
On a side note -take a look at Angel's Scrappin' paragraph on a Wisconsin map blunder - interesting
Rod!
Hey everyone! news flash....Christian Bale has been arrested for allegedly assaulting his mother & sister before the premier of Batman on Sunday in England!!! I certainly hope this isn't true because it sure is troubling!! Anyone else with any info??
ReplyDeleteChar
tmz has the story on their front page... Too bad if it's true. I saw batman last night. I guess honestly, I wasn't too impressed... Health did a creepily good job as the joker though. I kinds thought the movie dragged on at times.
ReplyDeleteHeath.. Not health.
ReplyDeleteKinda.. Not kinds

LONDON -- Christian Bale, star of the latest Batman blockbuster, has been arrested in London on allegations of assault, British media reported on Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteThe reports could not be independently confirmed but, when asked if Bale had been arrested, a police spokesman said:
"A 34-year-old man attended a central London police station this morning by appointment and was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault. He currently remains in custody."
The wording is the usual tangential way that British police have of confirming an arrest of a well-known personality.
The arrest follows an allegation of assault by his mother and sister, British tabloid Sun newspaper said.
It came the day after Bale attended the first European screening in London of "The Dark Knight," the latest in the Batman franchise also starring the late Heath Ledger as the Joker.
Batman's Christian Bale was arrested in London Tuesday, following assault allegations reportedly made by his own mother and sister.
ReplyDeleteBale, 34, allegedly lashed out at his mother Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, on Sunday at London's Dorchester hotel, where the actor was staying before Monday's U.K. premiere of The Dark Knight.
According to Britain's The Sun newspaper, Bale's mother and sister went to a police station in Hampshire Monday, which turned the case over to London officers.
“A 34-year-old man attended a central London police station this morning, by appointment, and was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault," a police spokesman told PEOPLE. "He is currently in custody.”
It is a policy in England to arrest a suspect before questioning him in connection to a possible crime. Bale has not been formally charged, therefore the police did not release his name.
Yikes! That doesn't sound good...
ReplyDeletebtw, Rod... CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I'm starting the baby quilt!
ReplyDeleteHere's a link to the original New York Times article about Dillinger's death.

dj- you STUD!!!
ReplyDeleteRod, if it's a "charlie horse" (and despite the cute name, the pain can be INTENSE) and you get another-- try flexing your foot by aiming your toes at your knees. If possible, grab the toes and pull up for more stretch.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, in a few months it will be over! Will you be nursing?
-M.
FYI - in England, even if you threaten someone or say "I'm going to kick your ass!", regardless of whether or not you actually physically harm them, it's considered assault.
ReplyDeleteHe has been released and asked to return in September.
My guess is that there was some sort of verbal altercation that got heated and words were exchanged. If he had physically harmed either one of them, they would have not let him go to the premiere (they said they didn't arrest him immediately because it wasn't considered serious). I don't believe he's been charged with anything either, because the police haven't released his name. They won't until someone has been charged.
I LOVED The Dark Knight. It totally lived up to the hype.
I have had leg cramps during the night. Somebody told me this.....as crazy as it sounds, it works. Pinch your lower lip hard between your thumb and forefinger.
ReplyDeleteeat more bananas
ReplyDelete"Pinch your lower lip hard between your thumb and forefinger."
ReplyDeleteI just went pee - I don't like that one.
I have had several severe leg pain
ReplyDelete"seizures" in the middle of the night in the past six months. The first time was the first day of filming in Columbus!! But for me it's not the typical muscle cramp in the back of the leg, it's up the shin and across the top of the foot!! It's crippling because I can't even move my legs while it's happening! Have tried keeping Ben Gay on my nightstand and putting that on; doesn't help! I've had blood tests done and it's not from any of the medications I'm on, so I'm going to try eating a banana a day to see if that will help.
The Christian Bale story is in tonight's Daily Citizen too.
Great Blog today Rod!!!
ReplyDeleteLike the new name for your future brew.
Bale?????? Hope it is not true...
Leg cramps around here are called
A Charlie Horse! But painful non the less.Walk on it!!!!Hurts but it goes away real fast.
