F'd up Friday, Leif Garrett, JK Rowling's paper shortage, and ANOTHER addition to the Unlikely Sexy Guys pantheon

Murtha Predicts U.S. Pullout From Iraq
(OK...here's what I wanna know. When Murtha made this prediction, did he wear the turban that Karnack wore? Also, did he do the "envelope on the forehead" trick? Can he bend spoons? I really want to know all this!!!)




Largest Passenger Ship Arrives in N.J.
(AHA! New Jersey slogan - "New Jersey - the Largest Passenger Ship arrived here once!")





Nintendo Exec Courts Nongamers With Wii
(Apparently roses and candy are passé.)









Hamas Edges Toward Recognizing Israel
(Apparently this process consist of more than pointing to a globe and saying, "Look! There it is!" Politics can be so confusing!)





S. Korean Cloning Scientist Hwang Indicted
(But how can they be sure it's REALLY him?)













FDA OKs Pfizer Anti-Smoking Pill
(I think those suckers would be hard to light, though!)








It’s FRIDAY…one of a long line of Fridays. There will be more, but only once a week. So be patient.

First of all, I have hooked up with Carlos and will be intermittently contributing to his blog, entitled “It’s Your Damned Language”. I’m not a grammar genius, but I will do my part to eradicate dangling participles.






What else? Oh, in the “You will all do my bidding” department, J.K. Rowling received paper from fans when she stated she was running out. Is it just me, or is it scary when celebrities have that much power? Maybe that’s the reason I stopped reading the books. Well, that, and they’re just so damned predictable. Ugh.

Next, in the “I was made for jail time, ah-ah-all, all night long” department, Leif Garrett is actually going to do the time for doing the crime. However, here is a direct quote from the article:

Garrett's attorney, Andrew Flier, said his client decided to leave the program, which required frequent tests and daily counseling, because it was too strict.

Here’s what I don’t get. I try to be open-minded about issues such as this. Addiction can be a hard thing to overcome, and relapses are a distinct possibility. Anyone who watches “E! True Celebrity Stories”(or whatever the hell it’s called) knows this, for God’s sake.

But the above statement? Oh PLEASE!!!! If there’s anything I know about addiction, it’s the fact that it stems from something in your psyche. Whether it’s the need to feel more comfortable in their own skin, have more energy, or alter their emotional state in some way. Once you depend on an outside source for that (be it chemical or something else), you’ve got to learn how to live without it. And if it’s “too strict”? TOO F’ING BAD!!! Life is strict. It’s just how it rolls these days.

I apologize for sounding like a drill sergeant just then, but hey…dem’s da berries. As I’ve said many a time, “My blog, my rules”.

Finally, Ed (my ex) and I still keep in touch and we talk about movies. Our common bond when we met was (and still is) animation. I am adamant on one thing…I’m going to see “Over the Hedge”. Why? For one reason only –

William Shatner plays a possum, and every time he “dies”, it’s a nice dramatic death scene. I am so psyched about this!!!!

In addition, Steve Carell is in it, and even though I haven’t watched “The Office” very much, he’s another “Unlikely Sexy Guy”. Why?

1. He’s furry

2. He has pretty eyes and nice hair

3. He’s FUNNY as HELL!

I’m NOT going to include Shatner in my “Unlikely Sexy Guy” pantheon because he just doesn’t get me going. He’s a bit old (even though he’s only a few years older than Tom Jones, who is a “Likely Sexy Guy”), and I have little respect for a man that used to wear a girdle.

So that’s enough of my personal blah-blah-blah for a Friday. I’ll be back later, I’m sure of it.

Smooches!
