"FANTASTIC BIRD"

I'm in a hotel tonight. I'm not much of a television person, but I'm up for background noise as I work on little work odds and ends. An advertisement just came on for Entertainment Tonight with the statement, "America loves conjoined twins", which I wasn't aware.

Jay Leno is on, which I usually don't watch, but I'm too tired to really care, and I am sitting here, with my head cocked to the side and eyebrows scrunched down because Jessica Simpson is a guest on the show tonight and I think she's drunk. And, let me tell you, she is one obnoxious drunk. She's like a Xanax away from pulling an Anna Nicole, I shit you not. My favorite is how she keeps talking over the other guest , D.L. Hughley, with comments like, "Oh, ha ha, you had a wedding anniversary? Wow, your marriage lasted a lot longer than mine! HahHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" It's both terrifying and mesmerizing. It's like watching a trainwreck. Anyway.

The real news tonight is that I pulled the nightstand out a little to plug my Mac in and had to immediately stop and take a photograph. Behold!



I'll bet I'm the only vegetarian in this hotel with a chicken bone beside her bed tonight. Let's hope so, anyway.

On a more positive note, I am lying in the center of a giant king-sized bed and I will be home tomorrow for a few days, and that makes me very happy.

What's most horrible is how picked clean that bone is. Yeeuch.

I think Ms. Simpson is on the fast track to crazytown. I am - dare I say it - actually starting to feel a little sorry for her, as I hear how horrible and controlling her father has been her whole life.

That being said, I can't help but think there is some weird/funny connection between the fact that you were watching on tv the woman famous for talking about buffalos and the fact that they don't have wings, and that you found a buffalo wing bone on the floor of your hotel room. Huh.
