What mamacita is...


During a THREE-AND-A-HALF HOUR wait at the doctor's office yesterday. Did you know you can get HPV in your mouth?

Watching
I have no idea what's going on at any given moment, but I like the show anyway.

I have to say, I didn't love it. Dolly's voice is as beautiful as ever, but the music is very synthetic pop. When Dolly's voice -- or pop music -- is stripped of its context, the resulting album suffers. This post brought to you by Pitchfork and Kraft, the makers of Velveeta Cheese.

If that's your sort of thing, though, I should point out that you can get three bonus tracks if you order the CD from Cracker Barrel.

    Love the Wire. I can't keep track of who anyone is, but it's just so gritty and real. Fun to watch!

    Dolly and synthetic pop sounds kinda strange. Does it sound like "Islands in the Stream?" That wasn't my favorite. We've got Dolly Parton with Porter Wagoner on heavy rotation at the Roddy House. Dolly Rules!

    Love love love the wire. I'm actually going to try to read the book that it's based on. It may take me 4 years to get through though.

    My fave The Wire, I still haven't watched the first season. I know it's gotta be good.

Reading/ Watching/ Listening

 Reading: The Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. I didn't like it nearly as much as A Gentleman in Moscow . In fact, I liked it only barely enough to keep reading. Watching: Poker Face , on Peacock. Papi and I have enjoyed watching this, one episode at a time, and not every day. It's a little formulaic, but the sets and the guest stars are fun. I like that it changes scenery every episode. Listening to: The Beatles Channel, Sirius XM. Ever since watching Get Back , the Beatles documentary, I've enjoyed listening to them with new ears.

Be Awesome for Halloween

You are a total hoser if you don’t dress up for Halloween. Granted, I haven’t dressed up in a few years, but I am about to change that this year. I have an idea … but it’s a surprise! Actually, I have lots of Halloween ideas. I’ve put together a few sample ideas for some of my favorite bloggers. If you find yourself in need of inspiration, send me a link to your blog, or just describe what you’re doing on Halloween night, and I’ll give you a hand. Emily and Rob : Alice and Ralph Kramden ! Soletrain : ODB . Wouldn’t you pay money to see Uncle John wearing a grill? Anyway, I’m sure he already has the outfit. He just needs to accessorize with a 40. Bunny Tomerlin : Goth princess . Because I bet she’s never even worn PVC.
