Mickey's Musings

What's new in Mickeyland....

The weather ~
The weather can't seem to make up it's mind these days. There was a kickass T-storm last night around 3am that I missed because I was at work in the dungeon. I love night time Thunder storms. Lightning during the day is just so boring.

Politics
I could care less that our Governor is gay.

MMMMM....Entenmann's......
Entenmann's came out with this very tasty snack bar, 180 calories. Now if I can just eat only one at a time and stay away from the rest of the Entenmann's loot....

Charity Auction
Things with Lights, Camera, Auction 7! are moving along nicely, we have a great line up so far, we just added Richard Burgi.

Amish in the City, Books, Stargate Atlantis
I'm really enjoying watching Amish in the City however, I'm disappointed, although not surprised that the show pulled a bit of a fast one. It would seem that these are not Old Order Amish, maybe with the exception of Mose. And it seems that Miriam and Ruth have been out of their homes for a bit, especially Miriam, It's surprising too that they haven't traveled and that Miriam never saw a parking meter before and that Mose didn't know what white chocolate was. The Amish do travel after all, they aren't restricted to their homes. I've always had a fascination with their religion and lifestyle. What surprises me the most though is the fact that they don't care to share their beliefs with others, that just seems so far from Christ's teachings of spreading the Good Word.

I picked up this book Crossing Over - One Woman's Escape from Amish Life, by Irene Ruth Garrett. It could be argued that the book is simplistic in it's narrative, but I'm enjoying it.

More TV musings....
I'm enjoying Stargate Atlantis too. Of course it helps that Joe Flanigan is easy on the eyes.
