Cultural Hodge Podge

I am, at this moment in time:

— reading 1001 Arabian Nights and having the time of my life

— reading a biography of Andrew Jackson

— waiting for two movies to arrive: The Searchers and Lady from Shanghai

— watching Demolition Man for the bazillionth time

— listening to Avril Lavigne’s latest album – catchy! Yet also filled with girl-on-girl scorn which is a turn-off.

— getting ready for my second installment of my Shakespeare project. Taming of the Shrew is next. I’ve been working on it for a week now.

— contemplating starting a bikram yoga class

— researching the Druze in Lebanon. Just because.

— doing in-depth research about how to effectively wash my makeup brushes – which I paid a shitload of money for. Any suggestions welcome.

— re-discovering the offensive pleasure of h*enta*i

— putting together a collage of Cary Grant photos from Penny Serenade

— obsessing on the fact that tomorrow Social Security is going to reveal the top baby names of 2006 … what will be the top name for boys? For girls? Can I BEAR to wait until tomorrow?

Seriously. I have worked on – or thought about – or experienced – each one of these separate items – all in one 24 hour period. What the hell is my problem? Can’t I put the Druze on the back burner and just … oh … enjoy the spring twilight?

NO.

I CANNOT.

THE DRUZE WAITS FOR NO ONE.

Neither does Demolition Man.

    You are without a doubt the most eclectic person I’ve ever known.

    seconded.

  3. Lisa says:

    Wash your makeup brushes in the sink with a squirt of shampoo in about two or three inches of warm water. Swish ’em around really good, then squeeze the excess water out into a towel.

    Dry upright.

    Hey, that’s not so great. I cut my nails today. Tomorrow I may put the snow shovel away.

  5. Kathy says:

    If you actually figure out just *what* the Druze believe, let me know, eh?

    Even Tommy Friedman refused to tackle that one. Way to be ambitious, Sheila. ;)

    DBW – hahahahahaha Only one activity a day!

    Tomorrow I will sharpen my pencils.

    Sunday I will comb my hair.

    etc.

  7. red says:

    Lisa – thank you! Shampoo? Really? Just my regular ol’ shampoo? I’ll do it today.

  8. red says:

    Kathy – hahaha I know, right? As a matter of fact, when I first read From Beirut to Jerusalem was the first time I was like: what the HELL do these people believe and why won’t anyone tell me??

  9. red says:

    Michele Catalano! How the hell are ya??

    I’ll just be happy if the “top baby girl name” is neither “Britney” nor “Paris.”

    I’ve been wanting a nickname. “The Druze.” Hmmm.

    “Druuuuuuuze!” (When I enter my favorite watering hole.)

    “Hey, it’s The Druze!” (When I meet up with my riding buddies.”

    “wat^? NMH. cya l8r. druze” (when text messaging)

    “Druze rulez” (what I could sneak into the ladies room and write on the stall)

    Druzenheimer, Druze-ness, Druzinator, Druzie-druzenstein, making copies…

    Actually, it starts to sound like something you’d want your doctor to look at. “I’ve got the Druze, and it really itches.”

    Yeah, maybe not such a good nickname.

    Sheila! I’m great! I’ll shoot you an email tonight.

  13. triticale says:

    I don’t have many opportunities to put on neckwear, but I have been looking to buy a hen tie for years.

  14. I second the shampoo suggestion. In fact, I just washed my blush brush yesterday using that method and it worked like a charm. I see we’re both on the same mental plane… well, except for the Druze thing. And Demolition Man. And the Cary Grant collage. And…
