Well, it looks like James Brown has got himself another lawsuit. Not a criminal suit just compensatory and punitive damages. A woman claims that he raped her 16 years ago and she has now just “gotten up the strength” to file a lawsuit. Apparently he pointed a shot gun at her and demanded she undress, raped her and beat her then slammed her head on the car wall for several hours. Sixteen years after the fact she wants $100 million in damages. Huh? I will admit that he is a shady individual and has beaten women in the past but does this sound like a load of crap to anyone else?
Damn, the man just had cancer surgery couldn’t you wait a week or two? Although now that Rick James is dead I guess there should be a new sheriff in town. I’m James Brown Bitch!

I am saddened to announce that Jen and Brad are separating. Their publicist has said she is not sure if they are filing for divorce… but isn’t that kind of the first step to divorce? I mean, I am no expert, I am from a dysfunctional family who’s parents are still together, but isn’t that how it works? Apparently the cause of the split is due to Brad wanting children and Jennifer wanting a career. That Jen… such an advocate for Women’s Lib. Go sister! Probably feel pretty stupid about now for spending a million dollars on their wedding.

Let’s see, what else is happening around here? Well, on Saturday I went to an innocent enough brunch with E. In retrospect there is no such thing as “innocent” when we get together. Four glasses of wine later, we thought it would be a very good idea to go back to my apartment and chit chat since I hadn’t seen her since I returned from Michigan. Of course, more wine was needed. Two bottles of red later… P returned from his run and was sent out for more wine. It was only five o’clock. Two more bottles of red later and a fantastic meal of clam chowder (non maggoty, thank you very much) P was sent out for more wine. I was obscenely drunk by this point and whenever libbyfish gets drunk she has to sing and dance. I am not sure when it turned into the libbyfish variety show, but there I was channeling Loretta Lynn, Toni Basil (with dance moves thank you) and at one point Morrissey then I would switch it up to a dance number. After the costume changes, I was exhausted and passed out around midnight. I did manage to make it to bed and put on my jammies… which is important because when you wake up the next day you know you weren’t THAT drunk if you were able to get on your jim jams.

Yesterday was not my most productive day to say the least. When I finally woke up I just lay in bed reading my book until I was rudely interrupted by P something about not wanting me stinking up the joint any longer… I mean just because I smelled like a seventy six year old wino there was no reason to actually push me into the shower. I may have to file a complaint for domestic abuse. Anyway, he did get me out of the house and I did feel better after walking around in the fresh air. Funny that.

When I finally crawled out from underneath my hangover, we went to the store to get some stuff for dinner. We decided roast chicken with mashies and brussel sprouts, mmmm. I had everything done but the carving, which I totally suck at; it usually looks like a feral animal has ripped it apart. Anywho, I get the legs and the wings off and start to carve the breast, “WTF??? P, get in here!” In the middle of the breast meat just on top of the breast bone the meat is GREEN! Like I said, WTF? It didn’t smell funky or have any other green bits but I sure as hell was not going to put that in my mouth. Like in the maggot soup episode I know P was thinking, “Can’t we just eat around it?” I chucked it in the bin. Damn, it smelled and looked really good too. Has anyone else ever had this? I have seriously never seen or heard of this before. P thinks that the chicken may have died before they “killed” it and he just got carried along with his chicken friends.... like a poultry Weekend at Bernie’s. Hey, it could happen.
