Chris Kelly of Kris Kross Dead at 34

Well that’s sad. Many a good dance party was had to the tune of “Jump,” and for that, I am seriously ever grateful.

We have some really good family friends who have a son that was one year (two years?)  younger than me. He was an incredibly creative and fun-loving kid (and still is as an adult) that was always doing interesting things. For a good long while, he was a DJ – probably between the ages of 11-14 but I could have that all wrong. Anyway, I “hired” him all the time to DJ at my parties. My friends loved him. His pièce de résistance was a live performance of “Jump,” wherein he portrayed both Kris and Kross. It was amazing. I know I have it on VHS somewhere (I’m old), so now I will have to track it down, convert it to DVD and share it with the world (with his permission, of course).

Until then, I share with you a text conversation I had with a friend earlier today:

Justin Timberlake on Saturday Night Live

Few things could please me more than Justin Timberlake on Saturday Night Live.

I finally got around to watching it (airdate: March 9, 2013), and that sucker is never leaving my DVR.

Might I suggest Suit and Tie, Veganville, Mirrors and The Dating Game.

In all honesty, people, Suite and Tie is one of the hottest things I’ve witnessed in a good long while. DAMN, JT.

Sweet dreams, everyone.

Los Búhos

The Spanish word for “owl” is búho… isn’t that adorable? I think so. So much so, in fact, that I spent a ridiculously inappropriate amount of time editing this photo:

The original can be found here.

I have a thing for owls. I don’t really have a thing for birds (put a bird on it!), but owls… yes. It started right about 2004 when I adopted the greatest dog to ever walk the planet – Ebbitt. He was blind and had these big beautiful black eyes that reminded me of an owl. They were googly and empty but simultaneously full of expression. Owl-like… at least to me. So that’s where the obsession began.

Good thing the internet is full of owlege. <– new word

The Department of the Interior (DOI) does a great job with their Instagram page (follow them @usinterior) and, much to my delight, they post a lot of owl pictures. Or, you know, two. But I have it on good authority that more are in the hopper. <– That’s a lie as in reality, I have no idea. But it sounds nice and authoritative.

Photo found here.

In conclusion: America is awesome and beautiful and wild and wonderful… and so are its owls.
