The most compelling story of a uvula ever told

Oh a singing Anthony Stewart Head... so what if he is violent and bloody...

And Paris Hilton is in this too.. but I have to admit at first glance I can't recognize her. Good sign. And maybe she will die.... in the movie. I mean her character will... Please I am not that mean. I wish better things for her -- like to give away the majority of her money to Habitat for Humanity or homeless shelters or public urban schools... or something. I believe she can do good in the world. But that happening is as likely as me growing a third boob from my elbow.

Poor sound quality, but it is catchy.

If you have not read the His Dark Materials series by Philip Pullman yet... then what are you waiting for?!

Now that I have a nipper of a niece to worry about and another one on the way, ads like these seem all the more relevant...

Seven things I recommend

1. The Big Bang Theory - I literally am still watching this show and its not over yet and I am totally smitten with it. It is geekdom and awkwardness and funny sharp comedy writing. Or at least this episode is. One character has undertones of Niles Crane -- and I adore him. I am hooked. Plus, I am not certain, but I think that BNL does the theme song.
   
2. The Giver - Lois Lowry. I have been reading alot of YA novels lately and this one is intoxicating. It is horrific and wonderful in so many different ways.
3. Getting a mixed CD from your friends. I have received some from 3 different people and every single one of them is different and great for the road. Make one for your friend today!
4. Stealing extra boxes of cereal from the continental breakfast at your hotel. You will appreciate it later.
5. Dollar/surplus stores. If you can get past the smell, sometimes you can find some crazy stuff in them!
6. Snyder's Honey Wheat Preztels. Tasty.
7. Not having construction outside your hotel room. Night construction. What the hell Watertown!?
