Fan_3 just sent me this video that she made. Homegirl has BALLS. I love this.

 

I’m just about finished packing for my flight to NY tomorrow where I will be joining the Miley Cyrus Experience for the Z100 show followed by a private event for Net Jets. To answer your obvious follow up question, no, I am not flying on a Net Jet. I have a cozy little compartment in the baggage hold of an early morning FedEx flight. This works out fine because I have a couple of Xanax, a flask of Southern Comfort and Hello Kitty sleeping bag. I’ve been told that these planes only fly at 32,000 ft so I will most likely have enough oxygen to survive the trip but even if I don’t, I will be none the wiser.

 

The past week was pretty eventful. Saturday, Miley played at Wango Tango, the radio fest for KIIS out here in LA. I got to see the Jonas Brothers and their band, whom I adore, as you may know. We played some new songs and we also got new wardrobe. It doesn’t take much to make me happy. Candy-o and I went to the celebrity gifting suite, which is a thing that I’ve heard about, but have never gotten to partake in. In a nutshell, a bunch of retailers set up booths in a location where celebrities may or may not be and they GIVE their stuff to them in the hopes that their stuff will show up in US Weekly. Please kill me for knowing this.

free stuff? for us? no we couldn’t!

i like the jobros. they’re nice.

After the show we booked it to our van as fast as we could and blazed back to LA for Justine’s birthday party. We arrived with plenty of time to spare.

the best sister-in-law EVER

i suffered a booty shaking injury because of conroy’s dj skillz

Sunday was

Mothers Day. I had a leisurely morning with the people whom I gave birth to and the father of those people. It was lovely. USA Mike knows how much I miss the the WRKO broadcast of the Red Sox games so for that reason (among others) he got me XM radio for my car and the house. Yay.

Then Z and I went over the hill to check out the video shoot where Miley & Mandy were doing their thing. Apparently they’ve got some kind of dance feud going with the ACDC Crew so they decided to lay the smack down with a huge production. Ah, the world would be a much better place if we could all just lay down our weapons and settle our conflicts through dance battles.

 

b-girlz!!!!

I grew up in Boston during the 70’s & 80’s.  Anyone who knows anything about this period in America’s history and still thinks that modern blacks in America simply have to pull themselves up by the bootstraps and stop whining is just not being honest. 

  It is with this in mind that I offer my my happy astonishment that Barack Obama has accomplished so much as he runs for President.

 

all bootstraps, no whining.  gorgeous.

 

 No matter what happens after this, our world has changed forever.  Thank you, fellow voters.

I got my album artwork back from Aaron Belyea at Alphabet Arm Design today.  I’ve been friends with him since our slacker-kid days in the Boston music scene, but he has since become a formidable presence in the world of graphic design.  In 1997, our band convinced Irving Azoff to let Aaron,  a fledgling graphic artist/indie rocker design the final Letters To Cleo album, “Go!” and I have not used or recommended anyone but him for this kind of work since.  Even though he’s a fancy-pants award winner now, he still takes my calls and churns out the brilliance super fast for my procrastinator ass.  He understands me.

 

 

 My new album Weaponize will be dropping on yo ass May 27, 2008.   Pre-sale of CD & vinyl coming soon.
