Our men’s team are not the only Wildcat’s on the hard boards who are kicking butt and taking names. Our women are playing fantastic. In the past some of our women’s teams allowed themselves to be pushed around…. whenever we came up against a more physical team we seemed to fade into the woodwork. Not this year---this is a team of stud muffins and I love their aggressive play Here is a recap of the big win against the hated KU Chickenhawks this Saturday:Kstatesports.comMarlies Gipson had 20 points and 14 rebounds on Saturday, helping No. 18 Kansas State overcome a ragged first half for a 64-58 win over rival Kansas.

The Aging Disco Diva's Grammy Highlights Much like the Super Bowl commercials, the 2008 Grammys were... blah. Miley Cyrus looked like a two bit hooker (Call me old fashioned but I never encouraged/allowed my 15 year old daughter to go out looking like a 23 year old lady of the evening) Anyway....here are my official 2008 Grammy best moments---Amy looking and sounding good:Damn, what a voice....we all pray she does not go the Janis Joplin Route...Dear Lord....please, please let me look as good now as Tina Turner does at age 68. Sheyat...she looks better than I did at age 38:I was not much of a Kanye West fan until last night.... what an amazing performance, Here is his tribute to his late mom, Donda:The Aging Disco Diva's favorite cawfee tawk bud, The Aging Bingo Princess, loves, loves, loves her "Joshie" Groban.

Study hard. These were messages Vanessa Stewart ingrained in her son as he was growing up in Tulsa. She passed her wisdom to Clent, now a senior at Kansas State, one last time on Monday. She died Tuesday after a long struggle with breast cancer."My dad called me Sunday at one in the morning to let me know she wasn't doing very well,? Stewart said.

Will Ferrell a Wildcat!
2008-02-08 23:44:00
Some fun K-State stuff...Will Farrell is one of those performers that I don?t care for as far as the roles he plays ( the exceptions being ?Elf?, More Cowbell, and his Pearl, the landlord skits,) but that I like as a person. He seems like a real fun guy who does not take himself too seriously and anyone who is comfortable enough to showcase his?how to put this? less than stellar bod, to make people laugh is ok in my book. Will has gone up a few more notches in my book after he performed at Kansas State last week:Will wearing the Purple Pride colors!Will with head football coach Ron PrinceMichael Beasley, Will Ferrell and Bill Walker Michael Beasley will be a millionaire someday (hopefully AFTER he spends four years at K-State) but he is such a ?man-child? that it is refreshing to see him enjoy life.

Vanessa Stewart Passes Away
2008-02-07 17:07:00
Vanessa Stewart passes awayThe Wildcat nation was so saddened to hear about the passing of one of our own, Vanessa Stewart. Vanessa is the mother of Clent Stewart; a leader on and off the basketball court. Clent is not only a heck of a good basketball player; he is an excellent student, a perennial Academic All-Big 12 team member and a reflection of the great parenting he received from his Mom and Dad.Vanessa was always in the crowd, smiling and sporting the colorful head scarves she had to wear after losing her hair--first dealing with breast cancer and then bone cancer. She lost her brave fight with Stage 4 bone cancer and died Tuesday afternoon. Even while battling her illness Vanessa was a fixture at Bramlage Coliseum during Clent’s four years at Kansas State. She was in the crowd to witness the Wildcats' historic win over Kansas last Wednesday. Immediately after the buzzer sounded, Clent ran up in to the crowd to embrace her as his teammates celebrated on the floor.Earlier ...

Yes, Britney is out and about again....
2008-02-07 16:28:00
I am so f’n frustrated with this whole Britney crap…and I don’t even know the twit---she is neither a relative nor a friend….so how bad must it be for her parents? Granted they are to blame, to a large extent, for this out of control celebutard. When you pimp out your child to the entertainment industry and she is the major (or total) bread winner for the family it is hard to tell your meal ticket to “Shut up and behave” or even a simple “No, you can’t do that” I don’t think Britney had been told “No” very often as a child and teen star. “No” used judiciously is like a seasoning….and the lack of it results in an obnoxious, out of control, spoiled child…and eventually in a pathetic non-functioning adult. Yes, she is battling mental illness…but how do you separate the self-centered, spoiled brat who pitches a fit when she does not get her way from the illness? And OM f’n G….someone had to explain to her what “insomnia” was???? I guess we can ...

He yells at her. He claims to control everything."According to a declaration filed by Lynne Spears, on January 28, Lynne and Jamie arrived for an intervention -- "Sam had told Britney that she was an unfit mother, a piece of trash and a whore, that she cares more about Adnan, her current boyfriend, than she cares about her kids, and that she does not deserve the kids."The documents claim Sam said, "Adnan is gay ... Britney came into the room looking for Adnan ... Britney then asked me, 'Is Adnan gay?"At one point, Britney "picked up a bottle of pills and read part of the label and asked us, 'What does insomnia mean?' Sam told her that the pills will help her stay awake." Lynne continues, "Sam told Jackie and me that he grinds up B...

Since my favorite pro footballs teams were not involved (Jets were out of it the second week of the season and the San Diego Chargers and Darren Sproles bit the dust in the playoffs) I was not all that interested in this year?s Super Bowl. I did watch the pregame and some of the commercials.I know it is fashionable to bash Paula Abdul (look up ditz in the dictionary and you will see her picture) but I loved her music back in the 80s and was pleasantly surprised with her new song, shown during the pregame festivities. Let?s get that sucker remixed so I can add it to my exercise music!The commercials were?OK?kinda blah?I did not think the hot air balloon ad was all that funny, the Doritos and Budweiser commercials were predictable, and some were just friggin? crappy---Sale Genie managed to be both boring and offensively racist?quite a feat.My favorites:1 .ThrillerAnything that combines dance music and lizards has my vote!2.

Yesterday was Groundhog?s Day and after both the men?s and women?s KSU basketball teams lost a huge cloud of despair spread over the Wildcat nation which means the groundhog (or our version?the prairie dog) did not see its shadow so we will have an early spring.I do have a groundhog story to tell. The Aging Disco Diva considers herself to be one street smart cookie, but when she first strutted her neon and polyester stuff here in the midlands her lack of ?country? knowledge lead to some interesting situations?. Every little town in the middle of the country has an annual ?GroundHog? dinner?.and they all featured cute little groundhog cartoon characters on their signs and on the flyers posted all over the place.Now, though I was a gen-u-wine city slicker I knew what groundhogs were, of course.

Well Britney is finally where she needs to be---safely in a hospital. I have been waiting before writing about this hoping that information would be forthcoming letting everyone know exactly WTF is going on, but we still keep getting conflicting stories. The confirmed facts seem to be that she is in a psychiatric unit at the UCLA medical center; she had not slept in over 72 hours, and was definitely in the manic phase of her illness. We hear that she was on Adderal and taking a crapload of laxatives daily (pun intended) WTF? Ten laxatives a day! Holy crap (pun intended) ten laxatives a day would make anyone fall off the mental balance beam. It also explains why she was constantly running into gas station bathrooms?but again, WTF?

I know I said that I would not be posting this evening but the Aging Disco Diva is lit up like Christmas tree...I spent the greater part of this evening screaming my head off, pacing like a woman possessed and consuming adult beverages as I watched my Wildcats BEAT our much hated rival. Damn that sounds good. There is no way I will be able to fall asleep for hours... I am still on an adrenalin high. I cried like a baby at the end of this game. Only a fellow Wildcat could understand the depth of the pain we have suffered for the last 24 years. In fact I tivo'd the game and am watching it again. Hell, I might watch it two or three times before I go to bed.Final score KSU 84 and KU 75...and that was despite some really crappy refereeing. Beasley was practically violated several times during the game and nothing was called.

Obama is the son of an African father and a white mother from this heartland state, which holds its presidential caucus Feb. 5. "We're family!"

When I was a kid, living in 'Da Bronx, a bunch of do-gooders rounded up kids from the projects every summer and shipped us off to the Fresh Air Camp upstate in Peekskill for a couple of weeks. While many of my fellow campers spent their days moping and nights crying I loved every single second?.well, every second except for the latrines. I hated those damn things?it was a friggin? pipe over a hole in the ground you had to relieve yourself in. I have always had a very, very active imagination which serves me well as a person who believes in visualization and positive thinking, but not so great if you are a kid trying to take a dump in a latrine.

The Aging Disco Diva is going to have to make this a brief entry. My coffee machine went belly up today right after breakfast and I was involved with conference calls and phone meetings until after 5pm so I was unable to get my java fix. I love having a job that lets me work in my pajamas (yes, those jobs do exist for a lucky few) but the downside is that I have no one around to run and get me a latte. After chewing a few handfuls of espresso grinds to tide me over I headed to the store to get a replacement. My first pot full was injected directly into a vein and the fog is slowly lifting but I am still a bit woozy. The book club will meet again next Tuesday (I think Tuesdays and Thursdays will work fine for our chit chats) Today?s gossip Today was a slow gossip day. There were the usual ?does she have a bump?? rumors centering on Angelina Jolie. The buzz is that she is expecting twins. I might be in the minority in the gossip world, but I really like Angelina.
