random notes and Lisa Lampanelli

Last night my husband and I went to Fourth Street Live! to see Lisa Lampanelli at the new Wet Willie's comedy club. It's expensive but really nice. I think we spent around $200.00 for the night -- ridiculous, but whatever.

Lisa Lampanelli, if you don't know, does the Comedy Central Roasts of people like Will Shatner and Flava Flav. She also roasted Gene Simmons and does other stand up and other stuff with Howard Stern. She's filming for HBO right now.

She is SO crude and funny. I freaking love her. I wanted to sit up front since there were plenty of open seats, but my hubby wasn't excited about having the broad be mean to him... and we ran into a former coworker who insisted we sit in his section, which was in the middle of the club, so she didn't pick on us at all. Boo.

When the show ended I was first out of my seat and in line to get her autograph and to have my picture taken with her. Yay! She said she liked my purple dress and thanked me for spreading the word. She was super nice and genuine. I was a little star struck, but we talked for a few minutes since everyone else was still inside settling up their tabs.

I love Lisa! Must run as my husband is now very ready to go visit friends for cookout and poker. I'm going with him and he just told me I am not allowed to talk politics tonight. Yeah, we'll see.

fetal friday?

I know that I left everyone hanging yesterday. You know, when I went to pee on that stick. (That was mean of me. Not the peeing, but the leaving hanging.) Well, I think the big reveal is best expressed in letter form. Deep breath. Here goes. dear unborn baby daughter son or daughter, I take it back. I take back everything I said about not wanting kids. I was just scaredspice, and the slightest bit selfish, and maybe I had a giant fear of commitment. But, three positive test results in the last eighteen hours seem to say that you actually are in there, getting all comfy. I guess you'll probably be here in mid-December. I never thought about having a Christmas baby. (You've really put a wrench in my whole taking-maternity-leave-during-the-NCAA-tournament plan, but that's okay. At least it's basketball season. Don't tell Daddy yet, but you are going to cheer for the Indiana Hoosiers.) Speaking of Daddy, I take back all the mean things I've ever sa...

Last Call: John O'Keefe's Journey from Waterfall to Fairview (12:11:09am - 12:21:09)

I tend to bury the lead, so let me say this up front: I won't get to any of it in this post, but by 12:24:22am on January 29, 2022, John O'Keefe had arrived at 34 Fairview, gone into the house, been incapacitated, and had been dragged down the two short flights of stairs down to the basement, and up the stairs to and through the bulkhead door.  Yes. All of this happened by 12:24:22am. And here's how I started my research this week to figure it out: When I decided to look at timeline, I didn't think I'd spend all my free time in an entire DAY focusing on the short time frame of 12:11am - 12:21:09. I wanted to go "back to the start" (shoutout to Coldplay!) and figure out what the time discrepancy was really all about. I started with steps: Hyde (report) 12:11:09 - 12:21:09 170 steps 326 feet Guarino (testimony) 12:11:09 – 12:21:05 170 steps 326 feet Whiffin (report) ...

a little ashamed

I've been feeling a little guilty lately. I think I'm sort of obsessed with my own blog. Seriously, I adore coming home for lunch in the middle of my workday. My plan is always to sit down and write. It's the perfect time to work. There are no distractions (other than the hungry rumble in my tummy) or reasons that I shouldn't be able to churn out a good amount of words before I head back to the world of checking account deposits and cash-in tickets. However, I find that when I come home for lunch, all I want to do is blog. My reader is full as a good girl's Christmas stocking, and then there's my own post -- just waiting to be written. Something alarmingly witty, for sure. Something that will generate the multiple comments I will hungrily read from my cell phone when I sneak out for a cigarette break at 4:00. So, I avoid the writing -- you know, of the fiction variety. I sit here, instead watching the text fill the blank screen of a New Po...
