My shame in the federal government has been renewed with this Katrina stuff. We were so quick to offer support and aid and condolences to the tsunami victims, but our own efforts toward the Katrina victims have been sorely lacking. Here we have an entire fucking city going to absolute hell - the people left there are going insane.. gang rapes, ( Read more... )

I got Esthero's new album Wikked Lil Grrrls. Despite the spelling, I like it a lot. Very different from her first album, Breath From Another (I'd expect as much after a 7-year break), and I think I prefer this one. Her vocals are great, and the album as a whole is more consistently good with a fun variety of styles. I had a hard time making it all ( Read more... )

I've noticed that most people don't know how to properly maintain their Brita filters and as such are left with mildewy pitchers filled with water that tastes like salad dressing ( Read more... )

I just want to say that I love my new deodorant. I decided to try something new, so I went with Almay's powder fresh hypo-allergenic Clear Gel. It did very well yesterday. Thank you, Almay. I'll have to test it on a couple of shirts that have reacted poorly to my deodorant in the past. This may introduce to me a whole new world of thought regarding ( Read more... )

The majority of my entries in this thing are friends only. So if you are my friend but have a habit of checking your friends page without being logged in, like if you are a fan of SMG and work at a home improvement store, you are missing lots of glorious entries. Just letting you know.

OK, this is just an entry to plug Fiona Apple's album, which has been shelved at Sony for over a year. There's a campaign going on now called Free Fiona, where people are gathering names on a petition and organizing a protest in front of the Sony building in January in order to convince them to release her album. Here's the site: Free Fiona!It's ( Read more... )

Wow you guys, I checked my email this morning and lo and behold, I got a mail from Elizabeth Taylor herself! Now, I was pretty skeptical when I saw it, but the title "A CALL FOR HELP" really drew me into it ( Read more... )

I am finally cool. I've never heard of the word "exanimate" before. Right.

I don't know if I'll ever write anything in here. Now that it's here, I probably will.
