Surprisingly, Not Related

On the left, that dude from My Boys.
On the right, that dude from Drop Dead Diva.
Yes, REALLY, two different people!! Crazy, I know. I was fooled until this very moment as well. But, also, I am drunk. Are you? I hope you are. (I’m not really.)

If You’re Waiting to Find Out What’s Going on in My Mind, You Could Be Waiting Forever

Today’s Mail:
Let’s see, from left to right, that’s Elle (Miley Cyrus cover), Wired (Brad Pitt cover), GQ (Channing Tatum cover), Allure (I have no idea who is on the cover and I’m too lazy to Google it or walk to the kitchen and look), Blood Horse (ditto), and Vogue (that is Christy Turlington, in case [...]

Everyone’s a Winner, We’re Making the Fame

I got a mani-pedi after work on Thursday; I’ve been wanting to try a new salon because my regular one has possibly the worst selection of polish colors ever — I always end up buying my own, which then increases the overall amount of money that I’m pissing away on what I have convinced myself [...]

If You Want to Make the World a Better Place, Take a Look at Yourself and Make the Change

Chris Anderson, author of The Long Tail, has a new book out. It’s called Free: The Future of a Radical Price, and I’m interested in reading it. I just wandered over to Amazon to see if it’s available yet, and what it costs — because I’m used to Amazon lovingly slashed 40% to 50% off [...]

NEWSFLASH

These two dudes are not the same person (and I totally thought they were). The guy on the left is Justin Bartha, from The Hangover, and the guy on the right is Tom Everett Scott, who is currently on Southland but will always and forever be, in my brain at least, The Guy From That [...]

I’ve Been Watching Racing All Afternoon and Catching Up on News, So …

Lawyer Ron was euthanized on July 10 after complications from colic surgery. This bums the hell out of me; he was 6, and to this day I remember listening to the 2003 Arkansas Derby in Scott’s car during a rainstorm. I don’t remember where we were going, but Ron won, and we were hot on [...]

I’m Rushing Home to See Your Smiling Face and Then Your Warm Embrace That Makes Me Feel So G-G-Good

There is absolutely nothing to eat in our house right now.
His joke: Our cabinet is so bare, it should be stealing picnic baskets.
My joke: Our cupboard is so bare, it should be spread-eagle in Playboy.
I win.

Do This Thing, This Type of Thing

In the summer, the sun comes up earlier and I wake up earlier. School is out so I can leave the house a little earlier; normally I have to wait out dropoffs at the nearby high school before I can leave the house. Schedules are a little looser and pressure is a little lighter, so [...]

“Whenever He Says, ‘Girlfriend, Here’s a Pen, Call Me ‘Round 10′ I Picture Him THROWING the Pen at Her”

Internet, I had a lovely 4th of July weekend. It was full of dancing (not my finest dancing, but, still, dancing, which I haven’t done any of since March), silliness, and fun. I haven’t been quite myself recently — insomnia has sprung up — but it was exactly what I needed to get back to [...]
