I've been eating an awful lot of frozen meals - mostly Amy's Organic brand - and I think I finally reached breaking point with Mexican Tamale Pie number 15 (over a 2-week period). Someone in the office said it smelled like bug spray. I ate it. Gross.
Last night I put the TV on when I got home and left the room before I realized it was on VH1. When I came back, my plants were dead. Reason? Scott Baio is boring enough to kill vegetation. Apparently Viacom (the company that owns MTV and VH1) thinks even extraordinarily boring people make good reality TV. MTV just announced that "Tila Tequila" (just writing her name makes me want to shower) is coming back for another season. Gross.
I just don't understand the whole "I don't like Hillary" thing when it comes from women. Men I understand. They might be a little slower to accept the idea of a female candidate; they're threatened by strong women; they have issues with women in leadership positions. But my female friends? You're so smart (otherwise we wouldn't be friends) and I don't get how you can support a candidate with less experience just because you don't "like" Hillary. Looks like 2008 has created a whole new category of misogynists: Women-hating women. Gross.

Questions that have no answers...
How is it that my DSL can be on the fritz for two days straight, but two minutes after I finally break down and call Earthlink's help line in Pakistan it starts working again before I can even explain the problem? Is it magic? Is it a sign from the Universe that I need to switch to high-speed cable because my slow-ass DSL pisses me off at least once a week?
Why can't Britney Spears stay home for more than five minutes? I can hole up all weekend and I don't have her kind of cash. Certainly she can afford to send people out for what she needs and spend some time indoors and out of the flashbulbs. Why doesn't she do it?
Why do I care whether or not Britney stays home?
Why would I spend two hours at the Friends of the Library book sale and leave with 14 books (for just $8!) when I have a stack of unread books on my nightstand that is competing with the height of my table lamp?
Why can't I think of a good idea for a web site (hello, mediabistro...hello, youtube) and make 23 million or 1.65 billion dollars?
