New things - Pros and cons

It's good to try new things. You might be pleasantly surprised if you just apply a bit of courage and forge ahead!



Then again, you might get the bejesus scared out of you, like this poor baby.

Lindsay Lohan has been tweetin' at noted girlfriend beater Chris Brown.


Linds, I hope you'll leave this one a-lohan.

Kitty Wells is 92 today!

My dad does a lot of random singing around the house, and one of his favorites to croon is 'Gathering Flowers for the Master's Bouquet' by Kitty Wells. Imagine my surprise to discover that not only is Kitty still alive and kicking, today is her 92nd birthday!


Happy birthday, Kitty! I'm sure Larry will holler this great tune extra loud in your honor today.

Pro-tip: Go for a slide

Look at this little fox who has created himself a slide on a conveyor belt!


He looks so happy, and like he is having the best time! I'm on staycation starting tomorrow, and one of my goals will be to find a slide and do some quality sliding. You should go for a slide too!

Jack seems to have gotten... LOST!

In celebrity news, it appears that Matthew Fox, former star of that show on which I wasted six seasons worth of television time, Lost, might be a bit lost emotionally as well. Poor old Former Jack got tanked in Cleveland and tried to board some random party bus, and the bus driver denied him entry since he was not invited to that particular party... and so he punched her in the boobs. And then in the crotch!

Jack, calm down! I bet he thought the bus was an entry portal to get back to the island and craft a decent ending for that damn show. I'm totally still mad about the cop-out Lost ending, can you tell?

Actual thought I just had

"Ah, nothing like a fresh pack of post it flags!"

Fancy vacations

The other night, Sam and I were eating dinner at a bar at the same time as another 'restaurant couple' - a young chef and his wife. They were talking about their fancy upcoming vacation to the South Pacific. The bartender came back down to us after speaking with them...

Bartender: Isn't Cashion's closing for a vacation soon?
Sam: Yep, Labor Day.
Bartender: Are you guys going somewhere awesome?
Me: Ahem. We are taking a vacation... to Baltimore.
Bartender: I'd say that is AT LEAST as exotic as the South Pacific.
