~high drama~

~~~~~

I had no idea that Michael Jackson still had so many fans.  At a gathering I was at last night, the host said that a young boy in his neighborhood had been walking around with one glove all weekend.  The boy was no more than eight or nine.  But frankly, I'm glad that the situation in Iran has taken over the top news story once again on the CNN website - the fact that Jackson took over that slot for the past few days just blew my mind.  And I can't help but think about the events of last week - a week that a friend said was characterized by 'high drama' - and how well it reflected on women:  I think that Farrah Fawcett's recent documentary about her cancer struggles was brave, and I am in awe of the women in Iran.  And finally a politicians wife didn't stand by her husband's side, and was even quoted as saying something like 'I'm not concerned about his career.'  The whole incident has generated another phrase in the Urban Dictionary.

A busy week begins tomorrow.  I'm hoping it will be one described as 'low drama' - but I wouldn't bet on it.

Here's to low drama. I am glad to find solid news instead of interviews from anyone who may have had one conversation with Michael Jackson.

My last Facebook update was a wish that the people of South Carolina could somehow pull a switch in their top state office: Mark Sanford? Out. The apparently much classier Jenny Sanford? In. No need to even switch out the name plates... ;)

(Okay, I'm at least half joking. But maybe only have joking.)

Janet, I decided that I'm actually craving NO DRAMA. Nada. Zilch. Nothing. Things have been stressful/a bit difficult for awhile - and I just want some calm. As for MJ, it has just been so bizarre. I'm not sure that much of it is genuine.

Kim, half-joking indeed. Alot of people feel that way - but I must say, after his second AP interview, when he confessed to crossing the line with other women and seeing the woman from Argentina more often than he first said - I'm pretty sure that if I was here I wouldn't keep saying how I want to 'make our marriage work'. These relationships - these political relationships - are something I don't necessarily understand (thankfully) - I'm just getting sick...yes, of the drama!

Overwhelming image, coming at you from both sides.
How did that blue get in there?
