    WTF?

    My doctor just called me-- ON NEW YEAR'S DAY-- to give me some test results (some things I have to address, but nothing earth-shattering). I asked him why he's working today and he said "I know, I'm an idiot." Definitely NOT who I expected to be calling me today.
  7. Listening to The Black Eyed Peas gives me chronic gas.
  8. Stephen Tobolowsky I was watching an SVU marathon this morning, and they showed one of the most enjoyable episodes in the series' history. Tobolowsky played a registered sex offender who was framed for new charges. When his wife (who hadn't known about his past) found out, he drove his car under a truck and it exploded. I know they used a stuntman, but imagining Tobolowsky in that burning car is SO satisfying, no matter how many times I've seen that episode. This followed the saddest episode the show ever had... Peter Strauss & Joan Cusack played the parents of a girl who'd gone missing years earlier, at the age of 10. Cusack was suspected of killing her; allowing her to trot out all of her most annoying mannerisms in portraying the woman's frustrations. It turned out the girl had been abducted by a man who'd made her be his wife. It was heart-breaking when Elliot & Olivia found her and returned her to a weeping (what else?) Cusack. After what she'd been through, to have to go back and live with HER... how much is any little girl supposed to endure & survive? SO sad...
  9. Whatever happens, please let there not be 20 million stories the next day about what happened with Pariah Carey, one of the most annoying celebrities of the past 5,000 (or more) years.
  10. This should cover him for a while. A broke California man is resting a little easier after he found out that his old family-heirloom blanket was actually a Navajo weaving from the 1800s worth $1.5 million. Loren Krytzer was barely scraping by on disability checks after he lost his leg in a 2007 car crash and living in a shack in Leona Valley when he found out the blanket that had sat in his closet for seven years was worth a bundle. He was watching PBS’s “Antiques Roadshow” when he saw a throw just like the one his grandmother left him and learned it could be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. So six months later, he put it up for auction. The bidding started at $150,000 but eventually netted him 10 times that — $1.5 million. Oh Wow! It “gave me a new lease on life,” Krytzer told CNBC. “It truly did.” Now he’s taken his wife and three daughters on a vacation to Mexico, invested a share of the windfall in stocks and bonds, bought himself a 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 souped up by the custom mechanic made famous on MTV’s “Pimp My Ride,” and scored two houses — including one worth a quarter-million dollars. But the blanket money is also presenting some new snags: namely, a king-sized tax bill — and some johnny-come-lately relatives. “It’s not like it was 40 or 50 years ago,” he said of his tax burden. “If I’d have gotten $1 million 50 years ago, I’d be rich right now. I would literally be rich. We’re getting taxed to death here. I can’t afford it. I’m from California, I grew up here, but without working, it’s just hard to survive.” Krytzer lost his disability as a result of the windfall, and now he’s on the hook for $10,000 to insure the homes and pay Uncle Sam his due on the property. And then there’s his long-lost relations. “I had people calling me and bugging me and stuff,” Krytzer said. “People you haven’t seen in years — family members that don’t talk to you. You get some money, and they’re like, ‘Where’s mine?’” Still, Krytzer says his life has definitely taken a turn for the better. He and his family are mulling a move to Idaho, where things are more affordable and they can stretch out their newfound safety net.

  12. A free 2-week trial!
  13. His hair looks more like Trump's than like mine.
  14. Here's a micro-apartment for you: Kitty-corner to the Chanel boutique at Spring and Wooster streets in Soho sits a vacant lot surrounded by a tall chain-link fence. Locked to the outside of the fence is what appears to be a black wooden dumpster, tagged by a graffiti artist. It’s the kind of thing you see all over the city and think nothing of. But this wooden bin doesn’t hide trash cans — it houses a man. “A lot of people come by with big bags on their shoulders and try to throw them out,” said secret resident Damian “Dean” Cummings, 39. They try to open the fake lid, only to realize it’s fixed (Cummings enters through a door on the side). “It’s really funny. One time I laughed a little too hard, and the guy was like, ‘Hello?!’ ” Since June 2016, Cummings has lived in the box, which is insulated and weatherproof and fitted with shelving, carpeting and solar panels that power LED lights, a phone charger and even a hot plate. It measures 4 feet wide, 4 feet tall and 6-foot-3-inches long. Cummings is 6-foot-2. But he’s not complaining about his cramped living quarters. I Am Supported, that would raise money on social media and sponsor one homeless person at a time, with the goal of getting each one back on his or her feet. The men have filed paperwork to secure nonprofit status for the group. They met Cummings during the deep freeze of February 2016 when they went undercover for four days as homeless men, filming footage for a potential future documentary and hoping to find their first sponsorship recipient. At a Soho Starbucks, they struck up a conversation with Cummings, who told them about a good place to sleep on the Mercer Street loading docks, between Spring and Broome streets, and even shared blankets and food with them. A week later the two tracked down Cummings and told him the truth: They weren’t actually homeless. And they wanted to help. “We came back and said, ‘We’re grateful for what you did for us. We want to pay it forward,’ ” Duffy recalled. “Dean said, ‘What if you built something for me to live in?’” Duffy, who also works as a contractor, thought that was impossible until a stroll in the East Village provided a eureka moment. “I noticed all of the Dumpsters attached to buildings,” he recalled. “Then it dawned on me — what if the home was hidden” in plain sight? Duffy built the box at his contracting-business partner’s New Hyde Park, LI, shop for $1,500, splashing out on pressure-treated wood meant to withstand New York City’s winters. The box was moved to Cummings’ preferred neighborhood of Soho, which he considers the safest streets in the city — first to Mercer and Broome for four months, then to its current location. For the most part, Cummings has gone undetected. Duffy admitted he is shocked by how long the unit has lasted without being discovered. “We thought the unit would last a week at best,” he said. “This was really a test.” Two months ago, the police — alerted by a curious neighbors — called the Sanitation Department, but they ended up just warning Cummings to keep the area clean. Authorities haven’t bothered him since. His home has been vandalized a bit. Recently someone put dog feces in the lock and smashed his solar panels. Graffiti artists have tagged it, and Cummings has painted over the mischief five times. For the most part, though, “The people in the neighborhood are real nice and friendly,” he said. “One guy stuck a $20 bill in my padlock” while he was sleeping. During the day, Cummings uses the restroom at Starbucks; at night, he urinates in a bottle inside the box. He showers at city churches where the needy can wash themselves and their clothes. Having a place to lock up his possessions — including his laptop and clothing — has changed his life. “Carrying your stuff around every day, even when you are looking for work, is ridiculous,” explained Cummings, who said he doesn’t panhandle or use drugs or alcohol. He earns cash by doing pick-up construction work or making occasional deliveries for local restaurants. Because he has a protected space to keep his things, he added, “I’m able to find more work. It’s changed my life immensely.” Previously, it had been more than seven years since he had a home. A native of Trinidad, he moved to Toronto as a teen and then later to Yonkers. He butted heads with his family and moved from relative to relative while holdings jobs as a bike messenger, a bouncer and a door-to-door salesman. But in 2007, Cummings’ transient lifestyle caught up with him when he discovered his legal-immigrant status had lapsed. “I had put my [immigration] status in my family’s hands,” said Cummings, who was told by authorities that they sent a paperwork letter to a relative’s home. He never received it, and said he appealed to a state senator to no avail. Without his papers, he said, he couldn’t work and ended up in the New York City shelter system. But he found the shelters too dangerous, so he moved to the streets of Soho, where he lived for four years before receiving his home. Now, he loves watching downloaded episodes of “Homeland” on his laptop and cooking vegetarian meals on a hot plate in his box home. Although telling the world his secret may mean Cummings loses his home, he’s ready. “We wanted to raise awareness that there is a problem and that we thought outside the box to find a solution. And Dean says he wants to help the next person. That makes us want to help him even more,” said Duffy, who added that he and Sullivan will make sure Cummings has a place to live regardless. And if the city is interested, Duffy is ready to build more units. “There is no running water [in Cummings’ home], so I can see it being a sanitation issue with them. We would love to work with the city on something,” said Duffy. “We found a way to get one person off the street. And we would do this again.”

  17. Lather, rinse, repeat... Last New Year's Eve I listened to Happy New Year for the first time in a few years, & it led to a year-long re-appreciation of ABBA, which was one of my favorite groups as a teen. I've been listening to them all year, and right now I am listening to the SUPER TROUPER album... Happy New Year is coming up 2 songs from now.
  18. Same thing I've done every year since I was a teen... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I've never had any interest in this so-called 'holiday'. It's just a day with nothing interesting on TV or to read in the newspaper.
  19. It’s the guac of the town! This avocado, at five pounds, 3.6 ounces is officially the world’s heaviest, Guinness World Records confirmed this week. Hawaii resident Pamela Wang was on a walk in Kealakekua when she stumbled across the colossal fruit in November. “I pick up avocados every day,” Wang told West Hawaii Today. “But this one . . . it was hard to miss!” A typical avocado weighs about six ounces.
  20. I liked Roberts throughout her career. Marie Barrone was a strident character, & Roberts played her to the hilt. I can see how somebody might have been put off by the character, but that shouldn't reflect on the actress. The same could be said for Parsons, but I think that was a misstep by whomever was (technically) running the show (though obviously Roseanne had big input). I found Bev Harris much more unlikable than Marie Barrone. The difference for me was that Bev's own kids disliked her, and her grandkids weren't too thrilled either. It always frustrates me when a show introduces a character everyone in the show hates. How are we as the viewers supposed to not dislike her? I think ROSEANNE started going downhill fast after its 6th season, and that was right around the time Bev's character became featured a lot more. All that being said, there were several terrific moments for the character: When she confronted her late husband's mistress (played by Tom Arnold's aunt, BTW) at the funeral home. When Roseanne hurt her with a comment, then told Bev to do something mean to her to even things out, & Bev sold her share of the diner to Roseanne's nemesis, Leon. When she was taking care of an injured Roseanne & spoiled a couple of surprises the Conners had for their kids and then she went to see Dan at his bike shop & they had a nice talk. At the Thanksgiving episode when it was revealed that Bev's hubby was celebrating the holiday with his mistress, and Roseanne wanted to call him and confront him. Bev wanted her to stay out of it, telling her "Roseanne, this is not about YOUR father, it's about MY husband." When she was embarrassed after breaking her hip having sex with Red Buttons in the shower, & Roseanne had a talk with her about sex, finding out that Bev had never had derived ANY pleasure from it. Roseanne suggested Bev talk to him about what she'd like him to do. In the episode's epilogue, we saw Bev dressed in full leather, brandishing a whip. When Jackie became annoyed that Fred didn't find Bev unbearable, and then in THAT epilogue, Fred & Bev were on the couch, drinking beer (& I think smoking cigars), and Bev says something about how she didn't know how much longer she could keep up that annoying voice. When Fred asked her if her family knew what she was REALLY like, she said "Now what fun would THAT be?"
