- ex and the city -

What is it about Sex and the City that makes me want to light one up?

BTW, Hannah's absolutely right: it's *not* like the Carrie/Big/Natasha situation. It's much more analogous to the Miranda/Steve/Jessica situation.

- whip-smart -

Just came back from the Liz Phair Fishbowl. I think a lot of us were bummed out that she didn't play Supernova, but her set did make me smile, which is no small feat. It's rare moments like this that makes working at Amazon almost worthwhile.

First Star Search, then America's Most Talented Kid, and now American Junior. Can we just combine all these into a single show called "America's Most Exploited Kid"?

- where do you want to go today? -

Hey, this product I used to work on back in my techno-whore days almost killed Thailand's Finance Minister. I've never been so proud in my life.

I am a constant satellite

I obey your law of gravity

this is the fate you've carved on me

- headlines -

I fucking hate the Seattle local news. I mean, it's so bad that I rely on Jay Leno's monologues to find out what's going on in the world. If I have to see one more "exclusive breaking story" about a boy who was bitten by a cat and was airlifted to Harborview, or another "special report" with a "shocking finding" that a cup of Frappuccino contains more caffeine than a 6-pack of Coca-Cola, I swear I'll have to bite the bullet and get cable. It's the sports "news" that's the worst though. I can live with the fact that they have zero NHL coverage, but who the fuck are these morons? Have you ever seen King 5's Paul Silvi say anything intelligible unless he's reading from the script? I didn't think so. Then there is Q13's Dan Devone, whom I've yet to see complete a sentence without screwing up something.

And on a related note... Note to Seattle Weekly: you are not a real newspaper, so please stop pretending. At least the clowns at The Stranger know not to take themselves too seriously.

- gays of our lives -

I've been privy to way too much juicy gossip lately -- none of which I'm at liberty to discuss here, mind you. (The emperor has donkey ears! Argh! Ok, I feel a lot better now...) Suffice to say that I'm surrounded by some really fucked up people.

Dad died 19 years ago today. I totally forgot about it until Mom reminded me.
