Entries from June 2007
I found ONE SQUARE of toilet paper in my front yard. The getaway bus, because it burns vegetable oil, also left a tell-tale scent of cooked popcorn. I guess eco-warriors don’t make very good vandals.
The other good news is that I cleaned up the toilet paper before it rained.

No, kids. The Flava Flav reference is misleading. I will not be chillin’ with Public Enemy. I am actually going camping until Monday.
I will try to think of really important things to post when I get back late on Monday. If anyone has any suggestions for topics or celebrity moments you think I should have, please post comments.

I have recently gotten into watching PAINKILLER JANEon the Sci-Fi channel. After seeing BLOODRAYNE, I thought I’d give another KRISTANNA LOKEN movie a try. The trailers for it looked interesting. Interesting, in guy movie talk, means it has explosions, car chases, gunshots and women in it. Anyway, it looked like it would be more complicated than anything ANGEL BORIS would attempt, so I TIVO’d it.
Overall, I’d say it’s a supernatural version of a Mickey Spillane-like narrative. Except, it’s way better than Stacey Keach (a.k.a. Mike Hammer) could pull off. Anyway, I like it so far…..and subsequently, decided to have another Kristanna Loken moment.
If you, too, would like to have a Kristanna Loken moment; click here! You could have a bunch of them. Evidently, Ms. Loken had started her career as a model, so there are plenty of picture to choose from.

I remembered that it was two when I busted it jumping on my couch. It’s cool, though. I bribed it with some Cheerios to get down.
The only downside is that my blog refused naps in the afternoon. Well, that and my blog doesn’t like to be strapped down in car seats when we go on long drives.

1) A sense of humor – Stoicism is not hot, even if it’s wearing something skimpy. Sorry, life is way to short to take seriously. NEXT!
2) Curiosity – The ability and interest in thinking about why things happen. Letting life just happen to you gets really old quick.
3) Imagination – The ability to think creatively. This goes really well with #1. Having a good imagination pretty much counts as a coping skill, which is good to have anyway.
4) The ability to emote – Knowing how to identify the feeling and knowing what to do with it. It may take time for labels to happen, but being able to do this makes things even cooler.
5) Confidence – You don’t need to know exactly what you want, but having a good idea helps. Knowing what you like and what you don’t like is a great start. I think it comes from being comfortable in your own skin….your own world. Knowing how to emphasize your strengths and minimize your weaknesses is a skill that everyone should have. Challenging yourself to try new things also helps. Staying home to do nothing except watch tv gets old fast too.
Side note: My wife is 5/5 on this one, for those who are curious.

Noticing that people have stopped paying attention to him, Michael Moore is jumping up and down in front of any news camera he can find. Once again, his whining voice is being pumped through your television speakers everywhere, disguising his own attention-seeking behavior as outrage for his cause in the form of a screenplay. The timing of this production is remarkable. Not so much for the recent concern for our failing health care system, but with the record high temperatures it gives audiences a plausible excuse to sit in the air-conditioned theatres while it runs.
In other news, Condi Rice was seen expressing what appears to have been an emotion. However, insiders in the Bush Administration say that it was simply dust kicked up from Air Force One causing her eyes to be irritated….much like the Administration’s constituency. After hearing about Condi Rice’s plight, George W. Bush promptly issued an order for $40 billion dollars be immediately set aside for Get Well Party for her to speed her recovery. Rumor has it that Alberto Gonzales’ band, Death & The Organ Failures, will be playing at the political blow out. Not only will their be celebrities present, the Los Angeles Prison system will be letting Paris Hilton out of prison again so she can attend.
Inspired by the recent celebutants incarceration, The Bradford Exchange will be minting a limited addition commemorative plate series of Paris Hilton to raise funds for awareness that our legal system is getting hosed by rich people. Scenes featured on the plates include Paris wrapping her sportcar around a tree, a storage unit that she once owned, and a warehouse full of Valtrex. Order now and an angry taxpayer will show up at your door and beat you for feeding the paparazzic frenzy around this malnourished, ill-behaved freakshow.

did a little Googling for another picture and realized TOO MANY PEOPLE are having Kristanna Loken moments.
Forgive the temporary pause while I consider the moment here. Like standing in front of an open refrigerator door, deciding on the next meal….I stand…err..uh…sit undecided.
It’s not really a Kari Byron moment. It’s not a Evangeline Lilly moment. I don’t think it’s a Shania Twain moment.
Let’s see. We can rule out Ruth Buzzi moments, Geena Davis moments, and definitely rule out any Julia Louis Dreyfus moments. When I was younger, I used to have Natassja Kinski moments…and the occasionally Terri Nunn moments.
Hmmmm. I think I am somewhere between a Kate Beckinsale moment with a possible hint of Charlotte Church moment.
