It's like a drug you can only take once every two months!

Ah, Wilderness

Had a nice 9-day vacation to the UP. It was fan-tastic. As soon as I find the cable that connects my camera to the computer, I'll post some pictures.

News and Notes

**Update**--Chris Robinson and Kate Hudson have split. Congratulations on beating the over/under of 6 months. Now Chris can get back to writing songs about drugs and sadness and not all of the happy shit that was on his solo albums and the last Black Crowes album.

--Oh so many things happening in the world right now, but I'll start with Boy George picking up trash in NYC. He's not making any friends. She's already got into a shouting match with the media. He keeps asking them if the really want to hurt him; see him cry.

--Over the weekend, 3 suspected terrorists were picked up with over 1000 cell phones in their van and an apparent plot to blow up the Mackinac Bridge. An attack on the bridge would be utterly devastating. Not to mention that it'd inconvenience literally dozens of people. I don't understand how 3 guys could get picked up for something that drunk Finalnders talk about doing every weekend.

--Jerry Springer, Joey Lawrence, Harry Hamlin and Mario Lopez are going to be on ABC's 'Dancing with the Stars'. Why don't they just change the name of the show to 'Flirting with Obscurity'?

--A student who was infected with AIDS from a 4 year relationship he had with his band teacher can sue to school district. He got touched by the teacher without reporting it, left and went to a different school for a year, but came back to that school, participated in band and then went to the teacher's apartment where he was given you drugs and alcohol and had sex with him. Yep, sounds like the school's fault to me.

--Ariel Sharon's health is deteriorating. How does a persistent vegetative state get worse? What did some drunk teenagers come over and write 'penis' on his forehead?

--PepsiCo has named a woman CEO. Diet Pepsi with Midol and Prozac to be realeased late this year.

--Home Shopping Network is set to announce their new "Shop by Remote Control" plan. The plan literally cuts in half the amount of calories used when shopping the old way.

--Hats off to Dick DeVos to naming a transexual his running mate. Even Madeleine Albright thinks she looks manly.
