Keep it fresh

Look two posts today. That's because yesterday's post was mistakenly posted to another blog I occasionally post to . Oops.
So I saw Joy Behar last night. She was really funny. But I have to say I was kind of dissappointed. First neither of what I hoped for happened, I didn't laugh so hard I peed my pants nor was I seated next to my future husband. Second, much of her material was pretty dated. She started off with about 10 minutes of current material. But some of that was just reading George Bush quotes, which to be fair are hilarious, but I had heard most of them or read most of them. And unfortunately, we are also living through them. I can get those on the news for free. Then the rest of the stuff was pretty old--a lot of Clinton stuff. She ended the show with a Lorena Bobbitt bit. (Bit is a pretty appropriate word for that sentence.) Really is it too much to ask that if I am shelling out money to attend your show that you actually come up with some fresh material. The best part of the show was the audience. It was made up of mostly old people and gay and lesbians. Quite a few fit into both categories, gay and old. (But in the end at least I wasn't sitting in the house watching television.) And because I was at an event that felt like time out in at a shuffleboard tournement I was still home early enough to not be tired today.
Best thing that happened today, I discoverd a new, well new to me, singer. They interviewed her on Weekend Edition this morning NPR. Her name is Judith Owen. Love her!!!! I just downloaded her entire album, Happy This Way, from itunes. She was born in Wales and moved to London fairly young. Fantastic! Perfect listening for a Sunaday afternoon.
Well the buzzer just sounded on the dryer. So it's time to end this blog. Not all that interesting. But they can't all be winner.
