Chelsea's wit

Off late the TV world has turned dreary - actually it has been on a constant decline but I just decided to qualify it now. One comic that seems to have taken on where Seinfeld left off is Chelsea Handler. A Jersey girl with a big mouth uninhibited to a large extent goes all out in discussing every known taboo topic and gets off making fun of anyone involved from politicos to film stars to pets.

It is refreshing to see someone enjoy making fun of others and getting laughed at herself through another of her late shows that is also available to cable subscribers. She has also managed to gouge the idiotic consumers wallet by selling a number of books that rant about her upbringing or lack thereof and how she became immensely successful. Of course there is no charity show here having hung out with a lot of immensely successful white and not so white guys in her dating circle.

Using a midget (or little person as they prefer to be called) she also adds some xtra quirky flair to her show using a somewhat different format than used by all the late nite comics that involve some bizzare presence of a noisy and butt ugly 5 to 6 person band in one corner. I think its just an employment gig to keep some unions off their backs. Chelsea does not have a dumb band but instead chooses to invite a slew of off the standard rack comics that come and provide their own 8 cents about 50 cents and other penny farthings that populate the earth.

Of chocolates

I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.

Columbia SC

 The Palmetto state.  One of the confederate kinds. History dating couple centuries back.  We visited the capital yet again this time to take in the SC State Museum. Occupying the former digs (literally remodeled) of an erstwhile cotton mill this structure is an amazing piece of reimagination.  Four floors of excitement for kids and young at heart alike. Located on the shores of the Congaree River formed when the Broad meets up with the Saluda River, this edifice is approx. 60 years old.  The front of the building has a more modern planetarium that was added about a decade ago.  The museum itself has different areas of interest segregated on each of its four floors. The first floor has gift shop and a diorama of some of the local geography including the swamps and the state beaches with audio guides to help understand what fauna thrives locally. The second floor is all about natural history and showcases animal kingdom that may have survived on this latitud...

Gab about Gaps

There are a number of news stories these days where conversation inevitably turns to discussing some sort of GAP - Gap between rich and poor is growing Gap is losing market share to other clothiers The Dow is Gapping Down (so is the NASDAQ) and the dollar is Gapping Up The guy who advised British public over the PA on dangers of tube travel with the phrase 'MIND THE GAP' has died There is a frightening Gap between our Debts and Savings Gap between Executive pay and Average worker salary is at an all time high All I am doing is listening to all this unfold with my mouth aGAPe. What me worry?
