I know I’m going to get a lot of slack from Matt for using the title of a Barbra Streisand album as my blog heading today. But after this past year, I can take the ribbing.<\/P>
\n

Last night as I was surfing the internet for porn…I mean researching my trip to Paris…a commercial came on advertising that the show Prime Time with Diane Sawyer was going to have an “exlusive” interview with Miss Streisand. Even after nearly a decade living with Matt and going to every movie released or re-released, listening to every new (and old) album repeatedly and even visiting the Barbra Streisand Musuem multiple times, I still got sucked into the interview.<\/P>
\n

The interview was fine (I’m sure Matt’s blog will provide more detail). But what I found hilarious was that she started complaining about all of those erectile dysfunction ads that are on TV right now. And once her segment was over, Prime Time went to a commercial for Cialis. I actually started laughing out loud. Was that intentional? Was it for spite? Were they mocking her? Either way – it was classic television timing.<\/P>
\n

Oh, and you might be wondering why I chose “emotion” as my blog title. Of course, part of it was to tie in with the Babs interview. But, to be honest, it’s also because I’ve been a rather emotional wreck these past few days. Who the hell am I kidding…I’ve been an emotional wreck for the past year. So, with the loss of my niece a week ago today, and the looming one year anniversary of my break up with Matt in a few weeks – the Barbra special brought with it extra sadness.<\/P>
\n

However, this odd little link cheered me up. It takes a few minutes to download (even with cable or DSL…”Here’s wishing you a happy cat birthday”), but it’s quirky fun. Who knows…maybe le Streisand will have some competition on the charts as a result of this guy? <\/P>
