A video game to meditate?

Leela. That's it. Relax. Well, that's the name of celebrity counselor, Deeprak Chopra's new video game. Yes, a counselor has a video game. It's not what you may be thinking however. It's a mind,body and souls type of game. The screen will display aura-like items floating in spacial areas while you maneuver your body to follow or grab these orbs.
According to him, it will help you to relax and meditate while escaping your stressful world. He said he made a video game because they are addictive. So why not make a game that will be good for you instead of stressful. I don't know. Make of it what you will.
P.S. Jeff Ashton's Casey Anthony book also comes out this week. Pacquio won. Marquez lost. There was no scandal. Get over it.

Other great moments from the Casey Anthony Trial and Parodies

And now the end is near......

Not me

Well folks, the time has come to wonder what am I going to do after this trial is finished. I mean I'm awesome, don't get me wrong, but I'm not that awesome! What will I be writing about? I have so many readers and I don't wish to disappoint. So yes, I have a single sister who has an array of hilarious dating stories that seem unworldly but how many of you will be attracted to those stories.

Not my actual sister

Not one of my ghosts

Yes I see ghosts and spirits, but hey don't really make for interesting stories. So the question is: what am I going to write about! I was already performing a Baez (grabbing at straws) when I started this blog.

Not our actual spaghetti, It was worse

Sure, my life is sitcomy with these 3 kids 4 if you count the husband and my single sex in the city type sister, but I doubt you guys want to hear about the time my sister and I (I was in HS and she was in college) started performing twirls as we walked into the living room for some reason while each holding our dinner plate of spaghetti and watching in slow motion as the spaghetti slid out of the plate and not so gently landed on my parents oriental rug. Or about the time my sister got in trouble for making me insert my finger into the cigarette lighter thingy in the car while we were playing "taxi".See we're from NY originally so this made sense to us.

Not OUR taxi

Not THE cigarette lighter

She claims she told me to touch the edge, I claim differently. I was 8 or 9 years old, not stupid, just s kid. I guess this day she was the Baez and I was the Ashton when making the argument to our parents of who caused my burn. She was later held in contempt of house in this situation as well as the spaghetti situation. See, I'm not that interesting. So what will I write about.Hmmm? Well, this blog is called Anything about Everything, so I guess I will write just that and if you guys have anything you want me to write about or investigate just let me know! And thanks for reading my blog and making me feel like I'm doing something worthwhile!

Not me

Thumbs up!


Not my sister

More Drama in The Casey Case

The defense resumes its case in the trial of Casey Anthony, who's accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter Caylee.

Court kicked off with a sidebar! Judge Perry told jury they could be deliberating at the end of next week but things have moved very slowly! Hopefully this will all be finished with sooner rather than later.

Before the jury entered, Ashton said that there may be an issue with Dr. Rodriguez whose deposition was taken on Saturday. He read it Sunday and would like to read it again before he is called again as a witness. He also doubts whether he should be considered an expert testimony. Another witness Dr. Eikenbloom showed up at Ashton's office yesterday with 1 page report that didn't show anything of importance. He was sent away since he couldn't depose him without an actual report. He received a report and a 45 page slideshow. He will be deposed Tuesday. Ashton will be asking for sanctions to alleviate prejudice.

He says Defense is deliberately ignoring court orders and Baez says these witnesses have been listed for awhile and the state could have deposed them at any time if they wanted.Baez says "State has violated court's order regarding experts twice, with no threats of sanctions/contempt.Court has made it clear this is not a game - this is gamesmanship from Ashton from the beginning. He knows to take expert depositions. Ashton is playing games with court's order, using as both sword and shield by ignoring responsibility to take depositions."
"All of this is common DNA stuff. Ashton wouldn't need much preparation for it. Ashton wants to delay court/jury b/c of intentionally failing to take depos. Goal of this court was to prevent "gotchas." I warned court at status hearing that Ashton was trying to use not taking depos as sword/shield. We didn't intentionally ignore court's order. It disturbs me. I have labored daily/nightly on this case. Severe prejudice against us by prosecution omitting depos & then trying to use as sanction. It's bad enough he wants to do this in the context of wanting to take her life, but wants to go after her lawyer too." Judge Perry responded by saying "Both sides look at that clock back there and tell me what time it is."Baez says 9:26, Ashton says 9:25.Judge Perry responds by saying "The two of you will never agree/interpret the same. Jury's been here for an hour. All attys required from now on to be here at 8:30. At 9:00, we will start-no more of this" He says though that this might be a case where ultimate sanction of exclusion would be proper. Judge Perry: "Enough is enough."Judge Perry grants state's request for time to properly prepare for Dr. Rodriguez' testimony... But the next witness was Eicklenboom.Defense said it'll take 30 min to get next witness in house. Judge tells deputy to talk with jury. Perry warns court and says he might begin to start court at 8:30 each day. Tells attorneys this will stop or they'll be "working some fierce days." Judge Perry extremely upset with defense for violation of same order he reprimanded Baez for Saturday regarding experts.
So Baez basically blamed Ashton, the judge and his own witnesses for violations. Would've been better off to apologize instead.
Recess until 10:25
We are are still waiting for the court to begin. Both sides are in chambers with Judge. It is now 10:46

Court is back in session and will be in recess until 9am tomorrow morning.
