I Guess It Doesn't Matter If You Just THINK You Can Dance

There are about 2,000 dissapointed hopefuls scattered about the 4 blocks radius from my building. All I've been able to overhear through loud, public cellphone conversations as I weaved my way to the pizza parlor was, "No, I didn't make it. But here's the thing..." and, "It was like, 15 minutes they gave us, and I'm like, that's not good enough!" Says the girl will a rolling suitcase. Yikes. I'm so glad I didn't choose a career in the arts. Wait.

I. Hate. Girls. With. Rolly. Suitcase.

all of them.

Have I mentioned this is truly one of my favorite shows ever? I was completely obsessed last season.

In developing news - the outfit I'm wearing tomorrow is so ghetto, it doesn't even appear on Forever 21's extensive website....

Shut it. I'm so psyched. You better be showing me some T and A. And that doesn't stand for Turtlenecks and A-line skirts. Is it my birthday yet?

Do the words jumpsuit, short-shorts and halter mean anything to you?

Yes, but I'd rather not share as to why...

Here, T. This should make you feel better. Now you can move down from high ground, and stop carrying the torch for that certain older Southern gentleman.

UFO science key to halting climate change: former Canadian defense minister
Wed Feb 28, 1:04 PM ET



A former Canadian defense minister is demanding governments worldwide disclose and use secret alien technologies obtained in alleged UFO crashes to stem climate change, a local paper said Wednesday.

"I would like to see what (alien) technology there might be that could eliminate the burning of fossil fuels within a generation ... that could be a way to save our planet," Paul Hellyer, 83, told the Ottawa Citizen.

Alien spacecrafts would have traveled vast distances to reach Earth, and so must be equipped with advanced propulsion systems or used exceptional fuels, he told the newspaper.

Such alien technologies could offer humanity alternatives to fossil fuels, he said, pointing to the enigmatic 1947 incident in Roswell, New Mexico -- which has become a shrine for UFO believers -- as an example of alien contact.

"We need to persuade governments to come clean on what they know. Some of us suspect they know quite a lot, and it might be enough to save our planet if applied quickly enough," he said.

Hellyer became defense minister in former prime minister Lester Pearson's cabinet in 1963, and oversaw the controversial integration and unification of Canada's army, air force and navy into the Canadian Forces.

He shocked Canadians in September 2005 by announcing he once saw a UFO.

My last name is one "y" shy of his. I think that's all I can say...

I think that's the Canadian spelling. They probably just dropped the "y" for you at Ellis Island. Same dif.

Actually, on the Ellis Island website you can track your ancestors for those of you first or second generation. I believe you can even see what boat they were on. My grandfather, Elek Heller managed to get his name through without them butchering it. But my mother's side of the family had a long and uninteligible name so the Ellis folk changed it to what it is now: Bartnett. Which is not to be mistaken for Barnett. Bartnett only exists under this capacity in the US so if you ever meet a Bartnett, we are related.

Lynne: "I don't remember asking for a history lesson".

Boyd: "Well good god damn! I'm just an old country boy. Ain't know nothin' bout no Ellis Islands. Heck, where I come from, "Island" is what you say after you fall off a horse!"

I don't mind history. I just can't memorize it. That's why I did so poorly in it in High School.

...and why you can't remember what you did last night.

 
At 3:29 PM, Blogger Lynne said...

No. That's the alcohol.

Sake, last night, in fact.

 
At 3:43 PM, Blogger Tempy said...

Wait. Lynne got drunk?

 
At 3:44 PM, Blogger Lynne said...

I did not, in fact. Even more surprising.

 
At 3:55 PM, Blogger Tempy said...

I'm confused...

I drank but I didn't get drunk. Sometimes I do that. Like a real live adult.
