He just gets more ridiculous. http://www.politicolnews.com/romney-has-32-billionaire-donors-in-his-pocket/ Why do you think they want to block this campaign transparency bill? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/16/disclose-act-senate-campaign-spending_n_1678055.html

As the Governor of MA, he said a lot of things that really seemed pretty progressive to many people, but now he wants to discount them all. I'm also a little surprised by how many far Christian right people want to vote for him despite how ...much of the Mormon faith opposes some of the basic idealogy of the Christian faith ...and don't get me started on the mega-rich white guy who doesn't want to show his tax returns because he may have committed a felony.

This is for my cousins Marvin and Martin. Since today is Friday the 13th, I thought it was appropriate. We saw the orginal 'Friday The 13th' together in Logan, WV as young teenagers and they sat on both sides of me in the cinema and kept sc...aring the hell out of me everytime something bad was about to happen in the film. To this day, I still remember how much they made the movie scarier for me. It's probably why I still have trouble watching horror movies now. Thanks guys. :-)

I just scrolled down my Facebook Timeline and realized that I have 'liked' or responded to the last entry on everyone of my posts whether the person's posts were really good entries or not. I always have to have the last word. Why do I feel like everything has to be responded to or people will think I'm ignoring them or don't like them? I think there is something seriously wrong with me. Could someone say something really nasty or vile, just so I can't 'like' or respond to it in a positive way?

Okay. I'm sure there will be a lot of people who disagree with me, but I have to ask, do Mad Men or American Horror Story get any better? I've just watched the first 2 episodes of American Horror Story and it is BAD (like really BAD!)! Bad acting, bad directing, bad editing, bad story and bad logic all around. Some people seem to really like it. Can anyone tell me if it gets significantly better after the first 2 episodes, because so far, it's like watching a high school film project. It's excruciatingly BAD!
Mad Men is certainly much better quality, but it's so SLOW! (and I'm a person who usually likes foreign and independent films with sad clowns performing mime on the beach). We are getting towards the end of the first season and it still seems super slow. Does it pick up at all? We will probably keep watching it, but I would love to be reassured that the story starts accelerating a little bit. There are only so many scenes that I can watch that are just there to show how much they liked to smoke and drink during their work hours in the 50s. Does anything ever develop from episode to episode? Help!

So, it seems to all be official now. We are coming to Princeton on August 16th to visit for a day. We are arriving in the afternoon and leaving the next day. I have happily reconnected with so many of you on FB in the last year that I would... love to see and visit with you if you are around then. I'll probably never get a chance to come to a class reunion because of my living situation/work schedule in Spain, but would love to have a mini reunion with you if you are in Princeton in the middle of August.
We're trying to figure out a place that maybe we can have dinner and drinks and hang out for many hours catching up in the afternoon and evening, so if anyone knows a restaurant or location where that could happen, it would be greatly appreciated if you could let me know so I can make the arrangements. Just tell me soon if you want to join us if you will be around on Thursday evening, the 16th.
I hope you can make it. I really miss everyone from my childhood and would love to see you all (don't care what your religious/political/life beliefs are - as long as you don't bring them to the table with us as we catch up). And, you will get to meet my husband, the mysterious Chema too. Just let me know here or in a private FB message if you want to come or have an idea where we can do this.See More
