Has Anybody Seen My Invisible Plane? ...And Other Musings

Babies R Me
Before you even THINK about not using a condom, listen to my show tonight... This evening on Monday Musings w/The Jaded NYer & Friends, Brother Omi returns to start off my new Child Rearing 101 segments on Blog Talk Radio.



The first part will deal with the delicate little sleep-stealer you'll be bringing home from the hospital if you forget to use that jimmy hat- immunizations, staying home vs. working outside the home- all that good stuff! So make sure you tune in!!

I Need To Tell You This So You Can Check In On Me
I know I said I'd be keeping projects to myself, but this one needs to be out there in the Universe so that I'm accountable to someone other than me: I'm attempting to write a 50,000 word novel by November 30th. It's part of an online challenge that Brother Omi sent my way and I thought I'd give it a shot.

So far, I have ONLY 2500 words written. YIKES!!!!! If you want to try it, too, visit www.nanowrimo.org and sign up. My username is RaquelP75, in case you want to "friend" me *hint, hint*

They Come In Flavors Now
This one is from the West Indies



I. Swear. To. God. I'm not making this sign up- I really saw it in a bakery/restaurant off Church or Flatbush Avenue. I forget which one.

Has Anybody Seen My Invisible Plane?
J sent me this photoshopped pic of him as superman



and I was totally jealous. *I* wanted a superhero picture, too, so I made a request.

The results:



Hey, F$%k-it List; how fitting is this, seeing as you made Alicia Keys' Superwoman my theme song?!?!

I LOVES IT!

And The Beat Rocks Steadily
This weekend I was thinking about my childhood (mostly because I'm in therapy, y'all- she is killing me with this looking inward crap!) and I remembered how Titi Gloris used to date this black guy named Warren and she always played the hottest R&B music. I loved the days I got to go over to her apartment on Pulaski Street.

So while I'm reminiscing, this song pops in my head:



And that made me think of sleep away camp, because the summer I came back from camp this song was playing on all the stations:



I guess therapy ain't all THAT bad.

*smooches...keeping my feet on solid ground til the break of dawn*

I hate to sound like an old fogie, but back in MY day, the music was AWESOME!

I like the Superwoman. And see I told you ! I really rock which leads me to say.....

ROCK STEADY, whooo steady, steady rocking all night long rocking to the break of dawn! My mom loves the Whispers! I mean so much that she made us listen to them in the car for 13 hrs!

I'm not even going to look at that blog about writing a novel, I can barely keep up with what I have to do now, maybe when CJ is 3!

The Jaded NYer said...

@dipsetjam- no one should see a Wonder Woman movie with me in it... I'm a terrible actress!

@muze- I was on a roll Nov 1st when I started the novel, but now?? UGH... this is why I write short stories instead!!

@the f$%k it list- I was the only moron who thought adding a novel to my TO DO list for November was a good idea... both Irene and Jack cursed me out when I tried to get them to join with me... I need drugs...

Muze said...

girl, that is exactly why i like writing short stories. lol.

quick, easy, and to the point.

i understand totally. lol.

dessex said...

So how can I listen to the show tonight?

The Jaded NYer said...

@muze- I will keep trying though... even if I don't make 50K, I'd like to get as close as I possible can

@dessex- for just 19.99 plus S&H you, too can be a super hero! lol j/k!!

the show comes on at 10PM EST; just log onto www.blogtalkradio.com/thejadednyer or click the BTR icon on the column on the right hand side of my blog.
