Global Weirding

The storms didn't really happen, but it is still amazing that we see in the middle of May another blast of quasi-winter weather. Funny, funny. If this is part of Global Weirding, it is a weirding that we can gladly accept.

It's not just us, I guess.

Elvis

High school days. Elvis is in the boys’ bathroom, and he is in trouble from some of the guys. They are on the football team, and they mean to cut Elvis’s fancy hair. Big ole Red is there doing his business at the urinals, and he is moved to save the day. Red could not have known that he was earning himself a sweet position in life, to become part of Elvis’s Memphis mafia and living high during those hot years of rock and roll and movie-making, the biggest of the big time.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

But when I saw Elvis’s face, it just triggered something inside of me. I mean we were just kid and they weren’t going to kill him or anything, but there was that look of real fear on his face.

[...]

Red zipped up and strolled over to the wall where the mob had Elvis pinned. “Now, look,” said Red to the mob, “this ain’t going to do anyone any good. There ain’t no need for this. If he likes his hair that way, well, no sense in hassling him. Now, if you cut his hair, you’re gonna have to cut my hair too, and that’s gonna develop into something else.”

Storm

Wow, not it has suddenly gone pitch black practically, and the thunder is roaring. I think wemight have to hold off on getting the groceries, but we'll have to see how Pop feels when he gets up, and whether this clears up a bit by nine.

Celebrity Kids

The seven-year-old daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes has reportedly signed a £1.5million deal to design her own clothing line.

Am I really just being petty when I say this kind of thing disgusts me?

One Life

A little too simple perhaps, but pretty.

16. Ice Cream

No one in line at the Commissary this morning. A first for me. It was also cool, thanks to the sudden and violent outbreak of a storm that ultimately proved very short-lived. So I helped myself to the ice cream, trying the fruit bars, as well as getting another carton of that Red Velvet Cake ice cream.

But this weather is all over the place. Now it is steaming hot and pouring molten sunshine. I was tempted to give in to Sammy’s plaintive cries and let the cats outside, but I see there is a good chance for another round of storms tonight. As this is what happened yesterday, I am willing to see the pattern, and I think I will keep them in. Weather has always been unpredictable, but it is crazy strange now.

Weaher

And there's the rain now. Aren't I glad that I didn't let the cats out? You bet. Called one right.

Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow is still doing everything she can to taste the dregs of her youth. Which makes sense. She is at the end of it.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Gwyneth Paltrow got very candid during a sit-down with “The Kyle and Jackie O Show,” discussing her “bush” and revealing why this year’s Met Gala “sucked.”

The hosts, who were having dinner with Paltrow as part of a charity auction they won, asked the star about her implying she had a “bush” during a recent appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

The Iron Man 3 actress explained that she “couldn’t wear underwear” with her sheer dress at the movie premiere so she wasn’t “tucked in properly.”

She proceeded to show the radio hosts a photo of a friend who recently donated her hair to charity and joked, “This is when I shaved my bush.”

After the trimming, Paltrow said, “I now look like an eight-year-old girl!”

She then announced a toast “to our hairless vaginas.”
