Just 'cause I feel like it ...

There's no reason to post this picture other than I want to.

He Remembered!

O-M-G!! He remembered my birthday! He's a keeper. 'Course I gotta get him to be able to keep him. But still.

Rock of Love

Yes, yet another of my guilty pleasures was Brett Michaels' search for lots of sex true love this summer. I was getting worried when he kept letting Lacey stay. Then, when it was down to just Lacey, Heather and Jes I said "I'm never listening to another Poison song again if he doesn't start thinking with his other head." Thank goodness I can still listen, considering I work at a station that plays "high energy rockin oldies." So, during the season finale he took Heather and Jes on "alone time" dates. During the date with Heather, he said he needed to go eat something because he felt as if he might be going into insulin shock. What does she do? Decide she wants to drive the dune buggy, and ignore Brett's pleas to go get something to eat. The next night, during his date with Jes, he still didn't feel well and told Jes what to do if he should go into insulin shock. She got all emotional and seemed genuinely concerned. When it came time for Brett to choose between Heather and Jes, he said he couldn't decide and asked if they would both be his girlfriends. Heather said "Yes." Jes said "No," because she cared about him too much to share. So, Brett made the right choice and picked Jes ... and I can still listen to "Talk Dirty to Me" anytime I want.

It's About Time!

I thought Eric would never get around to kissing Jessica! I think they're a really cute shomance.

More on the Lovely Perez and Fidel

OK. People who believe that Sources reveal exclusively to PerezHilton.com that U.S. officials will be holding a press conference shortly to announce the death of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, deserve to be made fun of. I'm sorry, but, c'mon people. These "sources" said "Castro is dead. We should call CNN. No. Let's call Perez Hilton!"

But, I suppose, when Castro finally does die, Perez will be able to say he scooped everyone. So, next year, in two years, five years, or whenever Castro dies, Perez can say "See? I told you on August 17, 2007!"

And, I know I'm far from the first person to have said this but ... C'mon everyone ... in your best Chevy Chase Weekend Update voice ... "But Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead."

PUH-LEEEEEZ!!!!!

You don't think he's trying to get a little extra pub a few weeks before his new reality show starts airing, do ya?

Nahhhh!

Dumb, Dumber, Dumbest

I'm sure you've all seen and heard of the dumb warning labels that are on certain products. Here are a few of my favorites.

Sleeping Pills: Warning: May cause Drowsiness
Camera : This camera will only work when film is inside.
Credit card statement: Payment is due by the due date

Well, I started thinking about this last night when I was checking food packaging for allergy information (since I can't have wheat/gluten anymore). A can of mixed nuts has the warning: May contain nuts. (I'm payin' 4 bucks for it. It damn well better have nuts in it!) A package of cheese: Contains milk. (Uh, duh!) Then when I was at Dumb.com just now, I saw this one: Container of salt: Warning: High in sodium.

Kinda makes you feel bad for the packagers/label makers who are forced to put this stuff on the labels because some people are so D-U-M-B!!

Words

Believe me, I have a hard time putting a sentence together sometimes but, because it's my job, I try my best. When I was in college and, actually, when I started working at the newspaper, I was taught to read my stories out loud to make sure they made sense. Now, because it's my job to read them out loud, that's a lot easier to do ... and it makes my job a lot easier. Anyway, as I was reading a story in the newspaper about a local festival that is requiring people to buy tickets to be used at food booths, I could pretty much guarantee that this newspaper writer did not read this sentence out loud:

"Tickets will be used to purchase food instead of cash."

Classic TV?

Remember when Nick-at-Nite and TV Land first started. It was so cool to see all those old tv shows -- Patty Duke, Dick VanDyke, even the Partridge Family. So, um, call me dense, but what makes Extreme Makeover: Home Edition classic tv? It's still on network tv! And, for that matter, isn't America's Funniest Home Videos still on network tv? I don't understand. Or, maybe they're looking for a younger demographic and I'm just too old. I guess that would serve me right for thinking what I think when senior citizens tell me they don't listen to our radio station because of the music. (AM is AC and FM is "high energy rockin oldies") I always want to say to them -- "We don't care if you listen or not. You're not in our demographic." By the way, two words I never thought I'd use in a sentence are "our demographic."
