Dear Madame Zoltar

Hello, my honey bunnies. How are you? Have you adapted to the time switch yet? I sure haven’t; or, at least, my body hasn’t. I know the clock says it’s 11 AM, but my stomach insists it’s noon. I seem to be so tired so early now. And it’s dark by 5 PM. Oh my. I’m glad that Ms. Lizardmom has already decorated for the Christmas holidays. That must be uplifting. Maybe I can convince Junior and Senor Zanza to join me in decorating our home early, too. I like the idea of trying to extend a season of good cheer, but not more commercialism. Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Joyous Kwanza, Happy New Year. And have a great day because I love you.

Our marvelous and majestic Green Bay Packers showed little love or mercy for the San Diego Chargers last Sunday, extending Green Bay’s undefeated streak to 8 this season. Next up are the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football, Nov. 14, 7:30 PM, at Lambeau Field. Never take an opponent for granted and never give less than your best. I predict another Green Bay win, but the game will be closer than you would think.

In my ongoing campaign to dispel the negativity in today’s society, I am pointedly ignoring the news again; international, national, and, especially, local news. I’m sorry, but even thinking about it makes me nauseous sometimes.

Instead, I offer you things like this: “Vitrolum Republic develops 'gypsy noir' sound,” http://www.jsonline.com/entertainment/musicandnightlife/sound-check-vitrolum-republic-133090698.html. They are a Milwaukee band with a website, http://www.thevitrolumrepublic.com/, and a sound they call ‘gypsy noir:’



I like them. Maybe I’ll catch one of their shows soon. I wonder if they’d allow a humble gypsy Madame such as me the honor of singing a song with them. We shall see.

Thank you, my dears, for reading my blog this week. You are so kind to me. The Irregulars really are my extended family. I love you all very much.

Be careful driving around in all that darkness out there, please. And soon we’ll have the white stuff making it slipperier and colder. Oh dear, don’t even think it. Ultroneous!

    What exactly does this mean? I am very confused, surprised? Looks like alot of Orbs or something.

  3. Lol, that's what I saw, too.

    Thank you, Mme. Z, for another wonderful blog. Vitrolum Republic sound more gypsy than noir to me.
