Tuesday Ramblings

I had this beautiful flower picked out for my entry when I realized today is Tuesday. It's been just too long since I've thought about Terrific Tush Tuesday. How can this happen? No wonder I haven't been feeling well! I haven't been oogling (errr.. I mean appreciating) men's behinds as I should. I will most certainly have to rectify that ;)

Thank you all for the well wishes - they truly mean a lot. I've been inspired to begin writing here again. I won't do it as often and I won't yet return to responding to emails or participating in my group, but this is a start. I'm not going to allow my life (or my posts) to be taken over by my illness so I'm not planning on mentioning that very often, if at all. I've very sick, but thinking about it and talking about it all the time won't help. It's time to focus on the more positive things in my life.

I'm not really sure what to talk about in this my first post in weeks. I suppose I could discuss world events a bit. The news is full of titillating topics, isn't it? Did you know that for Paris Hilton's first morning in jail she was served cereal, bread, and juice? Hello journalism world!! Surely there is a more newsworthy story out there?? True journalists - what few there are left - must be shuddering in abject dismay.

I missed the Democratic debate over the weekend and I'm miffed about that as I don't think they're going to re-air it. It sounds as if it was much better than the first one. If you happened to have seen it I'd be interested in hearing your assessment of how the candidates did. I'm still leaning in favor of Barack Obama, but it's too far out to make a firm decision.

About American Idol, since I haven't posted about that since it ended I thought I'd comment. Can't believe that Melinda Doolittle was voted off but of the two remaining contestants I was glad Jordin won. She's got a lot of talent for someone only 17 and I think she'll have a big career ahead of her. Hopefully both Melinda and Jordin will release CDs by the end of the year.

Hmm - a very hodgepodge entry thus far and no mention of hypnosis or D/s. I'll have to rectify that next time I suppose. There are a few things that have happened in the last few weeks that might be of interest ;)

Speaking of interest (before I stop writing for the day), I did find that I was the subject of a comment left on another blog. It seems that I "look down my nose at professional hypnodommes". For the record, that isn't true. I do take issue with anyone who deliberately harms another and/or proceeds without any concern for the emotional health and safety of their submissives. As a profession I have no issue with it as long as it is done with regard for the welfare of the consumer. I found her remarks quite humorous as I never even think of her until she surfaces to make a comment like this. Rook laughingly remarked last night that the entire situation reminded him of an exchange from Casablanca:

Ugarte: "You despise me, don't you?"
Rick: "If I gave you any thought I probably would."

Ah well, more tomorrow and I promise it will be less of a hodgepodge of comments.
