I’m at a holiday dinner and The Devil Wears Prada is playing in the background. I’ve never seen the movie, and am intentionally avoiding paying much attention to it in case I ever do decide to see it (unlikely, but possible). However, I can’t help glancing over at the screen periodically, and I’ve decided that Anne Hathaway is not a real, living person. She’s too perky, too perfect. No, I declared, Anne Hathaway is not human, she must be computer generated. One of my assembled friends agreed, envisioning the male lead walking along in Central Park during the filming of the movie, talking to a stand-in broomstick wearing flirty little heels and swinging a purse.

If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character... Would you slow down? Or speed up?

About This Blog
Just another personal blog, wherein I bore you with what I've recently watched, listened to, read, digested, contemplated, observed, and experienced, and how cool it would be if I were anything like the person you think I am. I'm a beautiful and unique snowflake, just like everybody else.

- Faster, Paris! Kill! Kill!
TCM showed a couple of cult film classics from 1965 tonight, Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! and Mudhoney. One of the female leads in the latter bears a striking resemblance to Paris Hilton. I could picture her in a remake along with Nicole Ritchie, although neither is voluptuous enough for a Russ Meyer flick! #
- I am not a spammer!
I've been getting a lot of bounce back emails over the past few days. It appears that nyominx.com is getting joe jobbed—someone is sending out spam and putting fake email addresses with my domain in the "From" field. To top it off, I'm getting the same spam messages coming from other domains who I assume are also getting joe jobbed! The worst part is that there's really nothing I can do about it except complain and assure you that it's not originating from me. #
- My current header image...
...is an homage to The Greatest Nancy Panel Ever Drawn. Marginally related: I was feverishly sick once while quite young and, so sick that I was hallucinating... At the foot of my bed, a tiny Nancy was chasing a tiny Sluggo (or maybe Sluggo was chasing Nancy, it's been so long I can't remember now) across my blanket with a stick, intent on giving a serious beating. I screamed, and my parents came running, but I never could really quite explain to them what had terrified me. #

I updated my obligatory "this is my dog" page, now including a short sound clip (video soon to follow, hopefully). #

Such a hater!!! hehehe. Her character reminds me of myself in the corporate world. LAWD!! It’s hard being damn good at one’s job. :)
Aw, I’m not hatin’… It wasn’t personal, just a random, ridiculous observation from a slightly inebriated person.
I think she’s a Real Doll.
I was wondering when the Real Doll company would come out with an animatronic version… Heh.
I miss this blog…
Aw, it misses you too! I think I will have a little more time soon to bring it back to life.
