Month: June 2002

I have had the new Nik Kershaw CD “To Be Frank” for a couple of weeks now, and I’m still addicted. Addicted, I tell you. The songs get stuck in my head every day (different songs, too.)

It can’t just be me. This HAS to be a great album. You’ve all bought a copy, right?

Junk Mailers have reached a new low. I got one this morning advertising shower heads. “Just like they use at the big resorts!” Dear God, when will it end.

I’m only 6-12 months behind on all the movies I’ve been meaning to see. Since dropping HBO in an effort to reduce my television-related expenses, I’ve had limited access to “new” movies. I finally went to Blockbuster, which was a place I’ve avoided for about 6 months. I picked up two movies (Zoolander and Ocean’s 11) and loved them both. Money well spent. Just one question: What the HELL were they thinking casting Julia Roberts in that movie? I was just constantly aware that it was Julia Roberts shoe-horned into a role that would have been better played by some blond bombshell, the type of woman a casino owner would more likely be with.

Plus, Julia’s charm is her smile. Her smile is what gets her the big bucks. In this movie her hair and makeup were so severe she looked like she was attending a funeral…and the normal Julia glow just wasn’t there. I’m just trying to figure out if they hoped her name on the credit list would bring in more people. I just don’t think it was a good choicse.

I really wish I hadn’t missed out bidding on the SLUG ON THE SOFA MALE INACTION FIGURINE they had on eBay. Bummer. This would look GREAT on my desk at work.

Beware imitations.

You know what’s good? Pie.

Wow, I have two entries on today’s Top Five List! I really do need to submit more, if in fact my entries will make the list. I was kind of in an “unfunny” mood for a while. I’m better now. I had an entry on yesterday’s list as well, but you have to be a paid subscriber to see that one. Non-members (only $12 a year! It’s worth it) only see the Wednesday list.
