The daily digest of Twin Cities culture | Secrets of the City

Well, everybody, there is a lot going on right now. Times are... changing.

So, without further ado, here is my blog for the day:

I am feeling guilt and sadness as the many writers who have worked so
hard are out of their jobs, and yet my gut tells me that Mr. Bartel made a very bold and smart business move. So you can either sit on your butt and complain about everything, OR you can accept change and move forward.

Change is frustrating and makes a lot of people angry, but this is
America, my friends, and that means Freedom of Speech, so I am going to put MYSELF out there a little bit and let you read the personal e-mail that I sent Cristina Cordova yesterday BEFORE THE CONFIRMED ANNOUNCEMENT:

I went to the MIA show on Saturday night and lasted, oh, about 15 minutes. My neighbor tracked down my husband and I and gave us the "you should join the Patron Club" speech. After Howard exchanged pleasantries with the neighbors, I got whiplash looking for my Mom in order to get the hell out of there before I ended up committing to another club that would involve me having to stick my nose up in the air and act interested.

On another note, I finally figured out why Jack Nicholson always wears shades: It's because he doesn't want anyone to know that he is actually SLEEPING during awards ceremonies. :-)

The best part of the night was watching Diablo Cody hang on to her dress to keep the slit from rising above her navel. That was worth staying up for!

I would be happy to write a quick blog and review about my
favorite piece: the mini- Mickey Mouse Kimono. I know, Cristina: It's very sad how sophisticated I am. :-(

I hope your day is going well, and I think what The RAKE is
doing, to be honest, is smart.

Make fun, and share your jokes, but this blog-a-drama-princess is willing and ready to get with the times.

Last night I took the above picture of the family dog "Louie" after shedding a few tears. The look on his PRETTY face says it all. :-)

Happy Tuesday,
Melly
