Paris Is Burning
Did I say "Other than her DUI for which she is obediently serving her time for" in a previous post?
My bad.
Screaming Paris Hilton sent back to jail

I Have An Eating Problem
It's called "Cannot get food from plate to mouth".
So now my blue shirt is spattered with dark red Chili Colorado sauce. I tried my best to wash it out, but there's definitely some remnants. And I did this during lunch, so I couldn't put on a clean shirt.
Why is it that your chances of spilling food on yourself increase in direct proportion to either how white your clothes are or by the number of people who will see the spilled food on your clothes prior to you being able to change?

Melissa Etheridge
I'm currently listening to Melissa Etheridge's first album, appropriately titled...
*drumroll*
"Melissa Etheridge"
And it makes me think back to the Grammy telecast a few years ago when she and Joss Stone performed a musical tribute to Janis Joplin. Melissa, recovering from breast cancer, wiped the floor with Joss and blew the roof off the dump with one of the greatest. Grammy. performances. ever.

We'll Always Have Paris
Dear Nightly News,
Are we really going to have to endure 23 days of Paris Hilton jail coverage? Let me look into my crystal ball and predict your next few reports:
"Today, June 5th, Paris stayed in her cell for 23 hours and went outside for her one hour break".
"Today, June 6th, Paris stayed in her cell for 23 hours and went outside for her one hour break".
"Today, June 7th, Paris stayed in her cell for 23 hours and went outside for her one hour break".
"Today, June 8th..."
Why are people so fascinated with this girl? Think about it. Yes, she's about as smart as a brick and her day-to-day life appears to be as fulfilling as a bowl full of marshmallows. But other than partying a lot and posing for pictures, has she done anything incredibly newsworthy? Other than her DUI for which she is obediently serving her time for, she's not the slow-motion suicide attempt that Lindsey Lohan is. She isn't the white trash, hair-razing, breakdown diva that Britney Spears is. Despite the fact that she isn't exactly college degree material, people who have met her say she's very friendly and well-mannered. Aren't these social skills you want in a person?
Are we jealous because she has lots of money with none of the responsibilities? Think like the educated person you are. Is that really the life you'd want? Sure, it would be nice to have more than enough money and, at first, having zero responsibilities would be a nice break. Think of it as the ultimate vacation. But haven't you ever gone on a longer-than-normal vacation? Don't you start to go out of your mind wanting to accomplish something??

L.A. Is Crawlin' With Celebs
Yesterday I went to Pinkberry1 to get some yogurt for my wife. Guess who's standing behind me? C'mon. Guess!
Ali Larter!2
Very cool.
1 Pinkberry is a chain of minimalist yogurt shops in L.A. They only serve two flavors: regular (looks like vanilla, but has a tart berry taste) and green tea. You can also select from a variety of toppings, including fresh fruit, chocolate chips, and some kiddie cereals (like Cap'n Crunch). Let Wikipedia guide you to enlightenment.
2 Ali who? She's Nikki/Jessica on Heroes. You know... the one who can care for her kid and break someone's spine in two all at the same time.

Diving In
Okay, I'm finally joining the chorus of bloggers who, at least once in their blogging lives, shout out: "I'm going to blog something every day!!".
There's so much interesting stuff happening in the world, as well as my home town, as well as my life, that my brain is overflowing with things to write out. Plus, I just love to write. Sometimes there's nothing more satisfying than a well-constructed post (even if I, myself, am not always capable of it).
So no more of this blog-once-a-month dry spell nonsense.
There. I've blogged something for today. See you tomorrow...
