I recently wrote my first post for the findingDulcinea blog, which honestly, you should be reading anyway, but just in case you aren’t, I thought I’d post a link to my first entry.
You can read it here.
It’s about…mountain climbing? Skydiving? Auto repair? Ok! You guessed it! It’s about pregnancy.
In other news from findingDulcinea this week, people - not teenagers who raid their little brother’s stash, mind you - but fully functioning adults, are taking drugs like Ritalin to outdo their competition in the workforce, Clark Rockefeller is even crazier than you thought and we’re profiling some of the speakers at this week’s Democratic National Convention, which, thank God, came just in time to replace our nightly viewing of the Olympics. I have no idea what we’re going to do when it’s over.

“Clark Rockefeller” on the Today show….hilarious when he said he is an aficionado of vintage station wagons and his only childhood memories are of Mount Rushmore and picking strawberries in Oregon. Reminded me almost exactly of when Dr. Evil shared his childhood story in group therapy:
The details of my life are quite inconsequential…. Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a 15-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize; he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament… My childhood was typical: summers in Rangoon… luge lessons… In the spring, we’d make meat helmets… When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds — pretty standard, really. At the age of 12, I received my first scribe. At the age of 14, a Zoroastrian named Wilma ritualistically shaved my testicles — there really is nothing like a shorn scrotum — it’s breathtaking… I suggest you try it.

He made me laugh too when I happened to catch it. But I can actually see that he either gre up with a Nomad or a Vista Cruiser!
