"I've always loved this "column"
I've been wanting to submit to this column for ages. I oughta buy a camera even if it's just a disposable. The column is entitled:
"WHOSE RESPONIBLE"
It appears in the Baltimore City Paper. I always enjoy it especially because of the view I hold of living in Baltimore.
Please check out the photo page 51 of the 2/4/09 issue.

It's a photo of someone's personal garbage can. The owner of the can spraypainted the following message onto it:
DON'T STEAL THIS CAN, BITCH!

An hour or so of calm in the midst of the storm/How to save 1.65 a day
I found a lovely place of indoor sanctuary recently. Have you been to "Ukazoo" Books in Towson? What a lovely bookstore. Independently owned, very large, many many leather chairs scattered throughout the store. They play only 70's music. And if you can't afford the 1.65 a day (or more) for coffee out, but love to have coffee out, the coffee is free.
About 45 min. after my arrival a family began setting up a table of food! Turned out that not only did I get my coffee for free, but there happened to be an art opening today as well, which meant that I got my brunch for free too!
When it was time to go "potty!" , I had to go to the clerk to get a key to the restroom. The key was attached to a preschoolers book for boys entitled: "It's potty time for boys!"
Next time you need to buy a book, or need a place of peace and sanctuary I recommend the independently owned:
UKAZOO BOOKS
It's in the Super Fresh shopping mall hiding in the back............................
(If you aren't a coffee drinker they have tea also)

"I'm no Valentine's Day "Sucker!"

Guess what we La Pew tenants got under our door today? A piece of paper with a lollipop/"sucker" taped to it! From management! The first thing I thought was: "Did they poison it?!"
Sucker, anyone?

"Nothing has changed at La Pew"
My belongings are still going missing, and I still feel very unsafe here. I'm still aggressive seeking housing elsewhere. Car hasn't been vandalized for more than 3 weeks, I've had to hide it in a different neighborhood and hope that my neighbors don't see me walking there.
Elana reviews grammy performances/"I want to thank god, and i want to thank my mother and..."
One thing that has always stood out to me about awards shows is that most celebrities upon receiving an award, thank god or thank jesus which is why i titled this the way i did.
I review the performances mainly as opposed to who received an award which doesn't mean much to me.
I did not enjoy the way Katie Perry sounded on "I kissed a girl and I liked it"
I didn't like the way Kanye west sounded either in his performances, but I did like the girl's voice who backed up Kanye West.
Justin Timberlake and A Green. Love J's voice. Loved Al Green's original song, but in this case I thought J. sounded better on A.'s song than A did!
I loved Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift together. Love their voices, personalities and showmanship.
Normally I like the Jonas brothers and I have always loved Stevie Wonder's Superstitious but I think the Jonas Brothers butchered Wonder's song last night.
The Emcee (like most Emcees) sounded like an idiot (Dwayne Johnson) when saying that he kissed K. Perry and she had to get out a restraining order against him. Not funny, just plain stupid. The cameras panned to Perry's face; she looked very surprised and displeased about being singled out in that way.
I liked Coldplay.
(Who I've seen live)
Madonna in 94 in Melbourne, Australia while I was living there.
Allison Krauss between 90 and 95 at the Tippecanoe Fiddler's Fest in Indiana.
Back to the grammys
You know how much I love a strong woman and as usual Queen Latifah shined as an introducer last night.
"Standing There" by McCartney. Vocals were so-so, instrumentals genius. No matter, I'm a huge Beetles fan as well as a huge fan of McCartney and Wings and used to have Wing's 45's in my record collection. ( I had to sell all of my 45's for food money a few years ago.)
Who was the blonde female country singer who sang: Why don't you stay....I'm so tired off being lonley" she had a gorgeous voice , pretty song. She also sang next with Adele who I thought was so so.
(You know I really need to make a you tube video of my singing one to three cover songs of different genres, so you can see what I'm made of)
On Radiohead
Loved the percussion, but did not like the style or voice of the main vocalist.
It was nice to hear Smokey Robinson and the rest do "i'll be there"
On Neal Diamond
I had that 45 as a little girl: "Sweet Caroline"
His voice still sounds good, but I did not the like the voices of his back up girls.
Diamond looks terrific! Talk about aging gracefully!

"The Bachelor"
I've been watching every week, but I will probably lose my signal in a few weeks, as I don't have the $ to buy a converter box, and the wait list for the coupons has thousands of people on it. Congress has been talking about delaying the conversion, and I hope that's what happens.
Was hoping that Jason would give Stephanie a rose. I just love Stephanie. What an amazing woman, amazing human being. Ever since J and S had there day at the beach with the daughter, and then went to the theme park I was pretty sure they'd end up together. But S. took things beautifully when J. didn't give her a rose. She just said that if it's meant to be then it is, if not then oh well. And she also said that she knew J. didn't feel the spark, per se, and sometimes it just isn't there.
Not so sure about Naomi. I don't dislike her, but I don't think she's "the one"
You ever wonder what would happen if these bachelors (Or bachelorettes)_don't fall in love with any of the 25 provided women? (men) That doesn't seem to be an option with these shows, does it?
Who do you want J to end up with? (I know, ME!)
