a post-Alex weekend lull here, feeling listless, my evening of voguing with my dance instructor Boogie not totally breaking through the malaise.

"I want to teach y'all this arm stuff," Boogie explained, "because those people on Wednesday who are doing this..."

Boogie proceeded to demonstrate some amazing what-most-folks-call "Moonwalking" and she calls "gliding"

"...which is so BORING," Boogie continued, after completing some very un-boring looking moves, "and I want all of y'all to have FIERCE arm moves!"

even fierce arm moves later, I am here, getting caught up on the papers. Rosa Parks has some issues related to her bogus-ass case against OutKast for their song "Rosa Parks". She claimed in her lawsuit that the song went against her trademark rights.

What exactly are those trademark rights, anyway? When, say, DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince made a song where the Fresh Prince himself bragged that he could beat Mike Tyson, did this eat into the pay-per-view? What is Rosa Parks selling that this song would fuck her over, exactly?

Anyway, her doctor has said that she is medically unfit to testify in her own defense and the judge had demanded that the doctor get a little more specific. Well Good.
