Jailhouse Rock

My Life: Today I went to SF and went to Alcatraz. It was pretty cool, and I'm just going to say that I'm really really really really glad I'm not in prison. The cells are itty bitty and I think I would drive myself insane if I had to stay there for more than a couple hours. We took this audio tour and I learned a lot, like how the Indians took over the prison and wanted to make it a cultural center in the 1960's but the government forced them out. The island is actually rather pretty though. There's lots of birds and flowers growing everywhere. It's a pretty nice place aside from the top security prison.

My Thoughts: Sarah Palin has resigned as Governor of Alaska. I'm not quite sure what to think here. I mean this is probably good for Alaska, they get a new Governor, but what I'm wondering is WHY? I mean she basically thrust her whole family and Alaska into the spotlight for the election and now she's just gracefully stepping back into the shadows. I hope beyond hope that she will not run in 2012.

My Music: Jailhouse Rock-Elvis Presley. Many of you may recognize this from this year's Pops Concert where Gino sang while they did swing dancing. Click Here to see that. I really like this song, even before Gino sang it. Elvis is a favorite of mine, he was basically the god of rock n' roll and he had those amazing dance moves.

My Random Fact: I'm very affected by temperature. During the summertime, I have to sleep with the window open or else it gets too hot and I can't stand it. But during the wintertime, I need an electric blanket along with another one to keep warm. I also tend to shiver, complete with teeth chattering. I must be the human form of Global Warming.
