Popularity Contest
For some reason, I have 'Popular' from the Wicked soundtrack running through my head today. Running and running and running.
While that is somewhat annoying (but it is a great song and even better musical), it led me to a quick google search where I found this fun little website to determine my family's popularity.
It seems I made a smart move in my goal to be the Most Common Named Person Ever (no, not really) by ditching Wenciker - 53,448th most popular - for Seckman - 21,903rd most popular. Yay me! Err, I mean us... yay us!
Elliot ranked 582nd; Freddie is 299th and I am 33rd (WINNER!).
Where are you?

50, L, cincuenta
No matter how you say it - 50 is a big number. Especially when its the anniversary of two lovely people known to us as Grandpa Chuck and Grandma Judy. Their known to others as mom and dad, the Sears Store owners, Charles and Judith, Aunt Judy and Uncle Chuck, that Morrissey family - you name it, they've been called it.
Those two crazy kids got married 50 years ago this Saturday.
What else is celebrating their 50th Anniversary?
1. The Hovercraft
2. The first seamless aluminum beer can
3. Barbie
4. Space Monkey
5. Twilight Zone
For a variety of reasons, Chuck and Judy are my favorite thing (they're married, and that's a "thing" right?) celebrating 50 years in 2009. And, these other things didn't invite me to a party with cake so they pretty much suck anyway.

No Victor = No Anna
I could hardly believe what I was hearing when Judy called last night - Eric Braeden is leaving The Young and the Restless. Say what?
He's been Victor Newman since 1980 - dang near longer than I've been alive. And, if the rumors are right its all about the money.
He's Victor freakin' Newman!
You can't lowball him - he IS Genoa City!
He can't just disappear from GC... who will Jack fight with?
I mean, really, he just got Colleen's heart!?!!
As I have done various times in the past, I will QUIT watching that show if they simply replace Victor with another actor.
Only this time I'm serious.

Its a Serious Business
Its a normal occurrence around our house to hear a parent-figure of the home's single child ask whether or not poo is currently residing in the back of his diaper.
Its also a normal occurrence for the answer to always be no.
With that in mind, I think you'll see the hilarity of this.
A few nights ago, Elliot was performing - climbed on the ottoman and was singing into his microphone (read: booger-sucker thing) - and suddenly stopped, bending over the microphone.
Me: Elliot, what's up?
E: I not! I seengin.
Me: Huh? What are you doing?
E: I MAKIN POOPIE!!! (pauses and looks at me) OKAAAAAY?

Thinking Thursday
So I have this blog that I read pretty religiously that if it weren't for the threat of copyright (or thought-right) infringement I wouldn't even reference it only because I know that most of my readers will be appalled even by its name, let alone the crass language she uses on a regular basis. That, my friends, is exactly why I love to read it. If you want to read it, and are over age 18 and promise not to hold it against me, you can click here.
Anyhoot. She was going on a tangent the other day and said: ... if I had to BE a vowel, I would be “sometimes y”. Wouldn’t you?
My answer? Absolutely.
Lets do a run-down of the alternatives, shall we?
A - boring. I use that letter A LOT and am tired of it. Besides there's some show from another decade in which some dude kept saying "Aaaaa" to everyone.
E - it's all "wheee" look at me I just curl around myself when its lowercase. Caps isn't very friendly either - it's like a fork without the part you hold on to.
I - seriously, I don't don't dot my eyes because it takes too much time. you, my friend, are a bit high maintenance.
O - kind of boring... like "oh." all deflated-like. Huh. Meh. Oh.
U - this one's obvious - its not about YOU its about ME. Just like that country song - I wanna talk about me! Wanna talk about I! Wanna talk about #1...
Sometimes Y - perfect. Wishy-washy. Not set on being any one thing and isn't afraid to strut its stuff. Maybe it has a hard time making decisions - just like me. I love you, Sometimes Y.
What vowel would you be?
