i hate to be a cynic, but is anyone finding this really that surprising?

i think i'm going to be sick.

turducken, anyone?
sounds intriguing, but too much work!

windfall!
dad came through and got me 2 copies of live from the archives...so i have a few gifts for christmas this year!

if you thought 'celebrity boxing' was the lowest point a 'celebrity'* could sink to, think again.

kudos to sadu crabinhoben for going down to the van ness wherehouse and buying me a copy of live from the archives and popping it in the mail. SHE ROCKS!
and shame on all those folks on ebay who are trying to make a profit on this CHARITY album.

damnit
i missed getting kfog's live from the archives 9 cd. i knew that it was going on sale, but forgot to go to walmart.com where they were selling it (can you believe that?) until 35 minutes after it went on sale, and it was sold out. i sent a po' me e-mail to dave morey asking him if he would take pity on a former bay area resident who couldn't get one online, and then sent e-mails to my sis and my dad to see if they could get me one...cross your fingers!

after reading this story about pee wee and ferris bueller's ed rooney, i just happened to be listening the the english beat's special beat service, and when it got to rotating head, i could not NOT picture ferris running through everybody's backyards, etc to try to get home before sis and mom. i gotta rent that movie-maybe educate my 17 y/o neice on fine 80s john hughes movies...

the onion strikes again: the punishment for winona's guilty verdict.

i seem to be queen of the quick and dirty posts lately. well, you'll just have to put up with it for a while. it's about all i can manage at the moment...

ah, yosemite. some former co-workers of mine took a trip there recently and seeing the photos pictures made me yearn for the west coast...

latest online test: which winona are you? they say i'm susann kaysen from girl, interrupted. whatever.

whoa-this guy seems to be bucking for a darwin award...

from mightygirl: a link to a cute little story called "back seat driver". hopefully, this is not what i'm in for.

jeez. first oil drilling in alaska, and now this. could the shrub be any more anti-environment?

i just have to say, i am extremly disappointed in the results of the elections yesterday. i mean, what is the deal? no balance of power or anything. get ready to go to war kids. as my co-worker pointed out, at least now that can't blaim the dems when something goes wrong-they'll have no one to balme but theirselves. sheesh.

via MSNBC.com-salma hayak's got that fiery latin personality:
When Salma Hayek first got to Hollywood, she didn’t know what an agent was. “My friend explained that an agent is someone who finds you work,” Hayek told the Calgary Sun. “She told me there were three major agencies, and I asked her which of the three was closest to where I lived. She said it was the William Morris Agency. So, I called 411 and asked for the number. When the girl at the agency answered, I asked to speak to William Morris. She hung up on me. I called back and asked for him again. She said he was dead and then hung up. So, I called back and asked to speak with Mr. Morris’s son. She hung up. I called back and asked to speak to whoever’s in charge. She hung up. I called back and yelled ‘Bitch!’ and hung up on her.”

is this for real?
