Awake since 4am. Not because of my son, he is still sleeping.. I’m just sleepless. And I think I have been to every single website and there’s just nothing left to look at.
Props to the creator or “Mrs Doubtfire as a Horror Film” .. truly funny. And it could actually work.
Mrs. Doubtfire as a Horror Film
Across the country no fewer than 3.2 million seniors are graduating about now from more than 37,000 high schools. That’s 37,000 valedictorians … 37,000 class presidents … 92,000 harmonizing altos … 340,000 swaggering jocks … 2,185,967 pairs of Uggs. Even if you’re one in a million, on a planet of 6.8 billion that means there are nearly 7,000 people just like you. You’ve been pampered, cosseted, doted upon, helmeted, bubble wrapped … feted and fawned over and called sweetie pie. You see, if everyone is special, then no one is. If everyone gets a trophy, trophies become meaningless. … We have of late, we Americans, to our detriment, come to love accolades more than genuine achievement. The fulfilling life, the distinctive life, the relevant life is an achievement. to do whatever you do for no reason other than you love it and believe in its importance. The sweetest joys of life, then, come only with the recognition that you’re not special. Because everyone is.
We know this: President Obama had a private meeting with 25 young Hollywood stars and starlets.
And we know this: President Obama says the private sector is doing just fine.

I’ll admit it, I know there is a scandal about the Vatican bank, allegations of money laundering.. and God knows what else (God should know since this is his bank, right?) But while I know there is a currently evolving and developing scandal, I really can’t explain it to you or even to myself. But I know this, it’s creepy to think that a church has its own country, library of hidden books that may unearth many mysteries of our planet, its own bank, and its own jail cell which now houses the Pope’s butler. It’s just all too weird and creepy.
I think the linked Reuters report says it best when it opens the story with this:
For a financial institution whose ATMs offer Latin as a language option, whose offices are below the pope’s windows and where tellers work under the gaze of crucifixes, one might assume the Vatican bank would have a dispensation from earthly travails
And you know it will happen one day. It almost seems like it’s overdue for a large one, don’t you think?
The LA TIMES reports on what would occur. (easy for them to say, they just have earthquakes and wildfires to deal with, someone else’s misery is their favorite kind.. I kid Rene Lynch, I kid)
But in all seriously, the LA TIMES reports that New York City is at risk for a major strike from an Atlantic storm, and it could cost $168 billion with a b if it happened.
Indeed, that will not be the weekend to be in the big apple.
I don’t know how this will end but I sure see how it’s going
Anything is possible.. even the Celtics winning against the Heat..
