Misc. Random What-Nots
-You know what I could use right now? A Monster Truck show. Seriously. It's been too long since I've seen one. And I want a whole festival of destruction. Give me a demolition derby, some giant monster trucks and a huge Truckasaurus Rex robot that will pick up cars, light them on fire and then throw them. I get a joy like no other when I see those things. I remember seeing an awesome monster truck show when I lived in Vegas. It was so much fun. Cars were destroyed, Truckasaurus was huge and really did pick up cars, burn them and eat them. So amazing.
-Nicole Ritchie, please, go eat a sandwich. For the love of God, eat something. A bag of MnMs, a side of beef, a frickin' Chiclet....Anything. You look like a skeleton.
-Buying a house is so complicated my head is about to explode. I'll put up a longer post about the process soon, because it's been an experience so far. We've looked at some real crapholes, and then some nice places, too. To give a preview of the post - we saw a house that was chock full of mold and roaches. Mm hmm. Don't worry, we didn't give that one a second thought.
-Why do we need toilet paper commercials that demonstrate how soft the paper is by showing cartoon bears wiping their asses with said paper? Aren't bears a little more rugged than that? Come on, bears maul things and scratch their butts against trees. Anything is softer than the bark of a pine tree, so showing some bears using Charmin isn't going to convince me that it's amazing.
-From monster trucks to bear butts to my journalistic integrity - here's something cool: I was invited to speak at the National Press Club next month! I'm very excited to be part of a panel of journalists who will be talking about covering Hurricane Katrina. I got this gig because I know some people, but it's still pretty damn cool. The contact that asked me also said, "Now this won't be one of those panels that will be on C-SPAN, but it will still be recorded for our oral history archives..." Wow - there was a possibility of my even being on C-SPAN? Totally cool. Or boring, one of the two. I might have had to don a bowtie and lapse into a coma-inducing speech about what the real John Wilkes Booth was like. In any case, I'm excited about it.

Congratulations on the speaking engagement. Have you started your speech yet?
House hunting is stressful. I was so glad when it was over. Good luck.
I always thought the bears were stupid too. Also stupid is that the industry calls it "bath tissue". If you really tried to use it in a bath it would fall apart.
My cousin and his son always go to the Monster truck thing. It's their tradition. Personally, I have never been to one.
Have you ever tried the demolition derby thing? Lots of fun. No big monster trucks, just a bunch of crazy people driving around hitting each other :)
by the way, what was the real John Wilkes Booth like?
Congratulations! Link me up to the speech when/if possible. Also, those Charmin commercials (along with most of the other marketing to which our freedom subjects us) annoy the-- hey!-- crap out of me, too.
I love Book TV!!!
I just wanted to say hello...my sister finally put a link to your blog when I have free time to check it out. Good stuff...you're officially linked.
