I ran into the summer of 86. Wow. I dated the most gorgeous, sweetest, smartest man who went on to become a zillionaire. We ran into each other at a place where my world’s collide, Rafe’s hair salon, two blocks and an Avenue from my old apartment on East 63rd Street.
86 was an amazing summer I forgot about my summer fling, but…need some time to process this.
Why didn’t it work? The mini-series should be out soon. That might begin to answer some questions. I’m in old romance heaven. A lot better than old romance hell.
Next week Rafe and I are going to do a podcast if I remember how to. He answers that always burning question: “what it is really like to be Pia’s good friend.” He won’t say until the podcast. Claims that it will ruin the moment, and began mumbling: “woman, woman, woman….” Personally I think he’s gone round the bend because answering is too much pressure.
Remember back to last Christmas when Fox News was singing it? Oh how sad we are for poor poor fox news. Yeah! Sometimes victory is sweeter because the opponents were so much nastier.
Obviously I had no idea what I was doing. Listen!
Yes my first horrible but very me podcast. I think that you need quicktime–it’s http://web.mac.com/piasavage–this is just in case you can’t get it through the listen
At Stop the A___ which I read so that you don’t have to, they’re claiming that the media and pollsters have “purposely” been misleading the Democrat’s strength. And I remember the days that they used to call us poor deluded people. And much worse, but we’re nicer. Something that they hold against us.
I’m sure that they think my voice is shrill, New Yawkish, and every sick stereotype. Sorry.
Ted Kennedy just won. He is the only senator who can not be bought, and will never do anything but the right thing. He has paid for his “sin.” He lost three brothers and two sisters–I include Rosemary–to tragedy.
I have to get used to the term “Governor Spitzer.” It does sound strange.
CNN just projected that the Democrats will be the majority in the House. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2008—just wait. After two years of fighting some of the sickest minds in the blogosphere, this feels so sweet. I did stop fighting when I realized that we could never change many peoples minds. It just wasn’t worth using a good font.
I really hate politics anyway. Just think that the Florida election began a swift descent down some horrible roads, or maybe it began with the Impeachment or before with Newt. He began it for me. I saw entire social services networks knocked out. 9/11 would have been a hell of a lot easier with them in place–and nobody ever talks about that.
Of course nothing is going to change overnight. But the times they are a changin, and we can at least begin going down good roads. Moral roads. Honest election roads. Find a way to get out of Iraq roads. No more stupid wars to satisfy ego roads.
I’m losing my voice again. If the podcast doesn’t work, I will sing some songs I wrote yesterday this weekend and really really try. Of course I’m tone deaf and can’t sing. But I think that yesterday I had some great tunes. I might be a bit enamored with just being able to speak. Though I’m losing my voice again for reasons that I will go into later in the week. And I can’t read my own handwriting.
Usually I can work up some sympathy for bad politicians who lose and their president. But sympathy for Bush?
WOW MAJORITY LEADER NANCY PELOSI, WOW
I hope every girl stayed up to listen to her speech. WOW A WOMAN IS IN CHARGE OF THE HOUSE; A GOOD WOMAN
Bone has Three Word Wednesday which I really will do on Friday.
Listen to my voice!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate exclamation points but I’m so excited—and I sound so stupid 🙂
And Dan has some fascinating things to say. He boggles my mind. Dan’s a true original thinker and there are so few good ones. He’s one
very cool, I liked hearing your voice. You sound like my sister Margaret with a bit of an accent 🙂
me too (what Kyahgirl said)! excellent start, Pia… BRAVO! i just hope this is the beginning of a wonderful (and entertaining) new venture for you (and us).
oh, and i’m so sorry you haven’t been feeling well of late (i’m also sorry i haven’t been around… you know me and my distractive nature. it’s a lousy excuse, i know, but it’s true.) anyway… please please please *feel* better (i’m quite certain the election results help to ensure that!), STAY BETTER, and, by all means, keep those podcasts comin’!! xoxo
hah! I love that!
‘sbeen great battling idiots alongside you, Pia.
You “sound” great in this post, Pia, fully recovered. Must be all the “!”s.
You could, maybe, write a book about the therapeutic benefits of winning a mid-term election?
That was too cool and great voice. Not too New Yawkish at all.
Shouldn’t a woman be in charge of the house?
Bye
pia, that was great do it again.
Awesome
Exactly as I thought you would sound,t or I am just saying that tomake myself look all wise.
I was up all night or at least until the wee hours, at a bar but drinking coffee as were most of the people…
I think I heard every speech at least once.
Hope you are recovered.
Oh now you’ve done it, Pia. We already knew you were a great story writer, but now we know you’d make a great story teller. I’m ready to hear more!
Live from Riverside Drive! Loved it. Stayed up late watching the results. Change is in the wind for sure. So hopefully we’ll be hearing those songs?
Drink those liquids and get that rest!
I’m with the others. That was great. You have a pleasant, fun voice. If that makes any sense. It adds a whole other dimension to the blog.
Do it again 🙂
And thanks for the link, as always.
Here’s something to think about.
Nancy Pelosi as Speaker, right?
The Speaker of the House is third in line to the Presidency… didn’t see that much mentioned in the news yet…
🙂
NICE BLOG
TAKE CARE
That was perfect pia. meant to read
“perfect pia”
Do we have more of these to look forward to?
Ooooweee! A fab new dimension to an already FABOO woman! Loved hearing you my sweet friend… and sweet is what came to mind when I heard your voice!
Beyooteefooooool FO SHO!!!
My first blog post after Nov 7th went something like this, “WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
Yes, Democrats tend to be far nicer people in my observation, generally.
Happy Democratic Majority Pia, I was thinking of you as I sat glued to the TV late that night..
🙂
when you started out, I thought you were talking about me and that you must of been “that girl” from NY in ’86, but I read on and he became a zillionaire, so it must not of been me… I haven’t checked out your podcast yet, should I now download you with everything else to my ipod–is your podcast uplifting–like the kind of stuff you want to listen to in the gym?
