I've been trying to write this entry for like 30 minutes now and something keeps malfunctioning. Anyway. I have in my head a list of fun things I have learned today that I would like to share with my loyal and loving audience. Are you ready?!
1. Britney Spears has dyed her hair black. (Thanks to I Don't Like You In That Way). Almost every celeb gossip site I could find (and believe me, I've found PLENTY this week!) had commentary on it, but none of them brought up the fact that she dyed her hair while she is PREGGERS! Hey lady are you done being stupid?!*
*I love Britney Spears. No, I do. I think she was a cute girl, kind of dumb, but cute nonetheless. I enjoy some of her tunes, most notably "Stronger," "Overprotected," and "Lucky." I'm just very disappointed in how she's let herself go.
2. Um, Andrea Barber (aka Kimmy Gibbler on Full House) is on MySpace. Don't believe me?
3. Today I accidentally learned how to rotate the display on one's PC monitor 90, 180, and 270 degrees. Weeee!
4. Attention all germophobes and/or otherwise decently hygenic human beings: the pizza place on Park Avenue between 24th and 25th Streets DOES NOT HAVE WATER. Seriously. I went there for lunch with a coworker and upon being asked her beverage of choice, she said, "Water." "We don't have water," the cashier responded. NO WATER. They do, however, have delicious meatball pizza.
5. This isn't an update from today, but last week I had lunch at Rickshaw Dumpling Bar with my brother. I'd walked by the place several times in the past, and been turned off by its name (in case you are wondering, a rickshaw is a human-drawn cart that was used in Asian countries in the 19th century. That's right, NINETEENTH) - this is terrible and offensive, but I liken it to opening a soul food restaurant and calling it "Whip and Chain." That's right, I said it. Anyway, we went there, and the dumplings did not even redeem the awful awful name. They were too salty, the skins broke too easily, and the "Shanghai" noodles (okay are they REALLY called Shanghai noodles? Or is that just a really convenient name for them because it's a major city in China, and this is "Chinese food"?) that were in the soup were overcooked and stuck together in one mass heap of starch. I was rightfully disappointed, and now I can justifiably turn my nose up at the place altogether because not only is it commodifying but it SUCKS!
6. Oh yes I should also mention that they sell shirts that say "Nice dumplings..." on the front. WHAT?!
7. I also read about Kaavya Viswanathan (author of How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life) and all of the debacle surrounding her plagiarism and was just sickened. How do people not think they'll get caught stealing other people's thoughts? I've definitely been plagiarized before (by my own brother, even! Same brother as gross brother. Now you all know the truth!!) and it's a little demoralizing, disappointing, and most of all, annoying as hell.
8. Now he's going to be all mad at me for writing about it. OH WELL
9. TVgasm.com is my new favorite website. Their recap of the Grey's Anatomy season finale almost made me wet my chair!! My favorite are the captions under Callie's pictures... look at them... you will not be disappointed!!
10. Well, since I was sort of rudely told this morning that the person I thought I would be spending time with this evening would rather go home and sleep than do anything with me, and since the level of excitement surrounding my question of whether they would want to see me at all this weekend was practically underground, I'm thinking I might stay in tonight and work on a new layout for this place. Or I'll watch both my Netflix movies in a row. And eat bags and bags of popcorn. Anyone care to join me?
