Bummer, dude

Top things that make me wish I could go back to bed and start over again:

1. Corey Haim is dead. That's the headline in the entertainment rags this a.m. The star of Lucas, The Lost Boys, and a host of lame teen flicks from the '80s apparently had a drug overdose. Watch out Other Corey (Corey Feldman)...these things often come in threes. Quick...who's the third Corey?

2. I woke up with a sore throat. I'm currently taking bets as to whether it's allergies or a virus. I'm guessing allergies. If I had to pinpoint, I'd say mold spores. We currently reside in a swamp.

3. We're not supposed to see the sun until sometime next week. That certainly doesn't help the drying-out process. Of course, neither does the rain we're supposed to get through Saturday.

4. I have no editing work to do, which means I'm going to have to work on coming up with my goals for this upcoming year. These will be goals that support the overarching goals of our company. And "I will work hard and meet my deadlines" isn't a goal. It's a "given," according to the brass. So I guess I have to actually put thought into it.

5. I have a splinter in my middle finger. Ow.

Comments

I thought Corey Feldman was already dead. But he isn't, and I agree -- he better be careful.

But I don't think there are any other actors (or actresses) named Corey who are famous. Hard to believe.

So if Corey Feldman also dies, the third to die would have to be a non-Corey, I suppose.

The things we think about...

Well, there was Corey Hart, but he's not an actor, just a singer. Then again, some might argue as to whether the other two Coreys were really actors, either.

As an interesting aside, Wikipedia had this to say: In "Weird Al" Yankovic's song "Couch Potato" he mentions "the rise and decline of twelve actors named Corey".

Hair

This has become the age-old question...Why do men hate short hair on women? I've been thinking about this a lot because my current style, an angled bob, requires a bunch of fussing every morning to get it to do anything. My favorite haircut of all time, as far as ease of care, was my pixie cut. I loved that I could wash it, gel it, and be done. No blow drying or flattening or curling. Just gel and go. Very sporty. I thought it looked cute. My husband has another opinion. The longer the better is his motto. Thing is, my hair becomes an unruly, tangled, nappy mop when it gets long. If I had all the time in the world and Jennifer Aniston's budget, I'd be more than happy to grow it long and have others style it every day. In real life, I guess I'd rather go for comfort and convenience. And if you ask me, I think the pixie is dang cute. I suspect heterosexual men aren't hot on short hair, in general, because it's too much like their own hair. No matter how much jewel

Looking Forward

I just discovered this blog was still around (and miraculously, I remembered the password). I think I might kick the tires and take it out for a spin.  Our world has been in lockdown for a year, suffering a pandemic that has killed nearly 550,000 in the United States and 2.7 million globally. We've worn masks, maintained physical distance of at least 6 feet from others, washed and sanitized our hands, worked and schooled from home, dealt with (of all things) a toilet paper shortage, and given up most of our favorite activities (restaurant dining, movie theaters, live performances, family gatherings, and so on). We've endured people's stupidity, ignorance, racism, xenophobia, selfishness, indifference. We've also celebrated the "essential worker," those who put their lives at risk to make ours safer: grocery store employees, delivery drivers, healthcare professionals, educators ... all those whose jobs help ensure continuity of our country's infrastructure
