we have a moony!

I hate the Port Authority because you can never tell where a bus came in and therefore where to find someone. Grr. I am walking quickly, trying to find Moony and trying to keep Cassie from coming over to the PA and complicating matters further. But we all eventually wind up safe and sound back at Chez Clio.

Moony: Ooh, Kitty!
Clio: Don't touch her while she's on top of the stereo. She's very territorial.
--five minutes later--
Moony: AIIIIEEEE!
Clio: Yeah, maybe picking her up not such a good idea, either.

I really need to be sterner about my warnings to people. I know Veda's cute, but don't touch her.

Anyway, Cass and I dyed our hair and I made Greek-ish pasta with chicken and veg and then everyone left and I fell asleep watching Martha and then Moony came back and we went to bed properly and now she's off to parts downtown and I'll see her at dinner. Yay for weekends!

In other news . . . the fallout

1-NBC cut a quick shot of an elderly patient's breast from the episode of ER that ran last night. They said they felt it was appropriate (and it would air after 10:30pm) but in the current climate they didn't want to cause their affiliates any headaches.

2-CBS pressured Janet to pull out of the Grammys. She wasn't going to perform (they are very strict about performing only songs that have been nominated, and she didn't release anything last year) but she was going to introduce a Luther Vandross tribute. CBS is also using a video delay to ensure there are no surprises during the show.

3-The NFL decided to take pop out of the halftime show for this Sunday's Pro Bowl in Honolulu, substituting hula dancers, traditional drummers, and local singers for a planned JC Chasez performance. He may still be singing the anthem, though.

4-Advertisers like Pepsi are angry because the halftime show has overshadowed the ads, which almost no one is talking about.

5-Some idiot woman in Tennessee has filed a class-action lawsuit claiming the incident caused everyone injury.

( Another little bit of American television economics for you. )

Red states and blue states, man. We are so clearly two countries, it's ridiculous.
