Okay, I wrote this earlier today:

On one hand, I just burned my fingertips on the toaster oven. On the other hand, I just made a totally awesome sandwich with Em's sun-dried-tomato-edged turkey, paper-thin smoked cheddar, Swiss cheese, and marble rye. With dill pickles on the side. Mmm.

Sounds pretty chipper, right? Well, two hours later I was crying over having to wash dishes I didn't even cook with or eat on. (Yes, we have a dishwasher. Yes, I was running it. That's how many dishes had been dirtied--so many I had to wash a separate sinkful by hand just to get them all done before my stepfather got home and blew a fuse. This is what happens when multiple cooking students come over for the afternoon. No, I don't know why I had to wash them, except that... no, I still don't know.) What I'm saying is, running out of one's antidepressant medication at the beginning of the week is a bad, bad thing.

(And then Sister Girl was miffed because there wasn't much hot water for her shower. Because I had used it all WASHING HER PANS.)

I'm glad Peaches Geldof started this crusade -- Ka'el Cage will have something to join when he gets older.

(Hey, maybe Ka'el, Peaches, and Apple can make a band together, Ka'el and the Juice Girls or something.)

I think it's kind of sad that two girls wearing the same dress amounts to a "scandal". People worry about the stupidest things. Chanel shoudn't lie to people, though.

Do celebrities do that on purpose to make their kids hate them? I mean, they should stop and think "Would I want a name like that?" before they go ahead with it. I feel about as bad for Peaches' sisters, Fifi Trixibelle, Pixie, and Heavenly Haarani Tiger Lilly. That's just cruel. Or like Michael Jackson's youngest, who they call "Blanket".

It just makes me think of the Friends episode where Phoebe wanted to change her name to "Princess Consuela Banana Hammock", just as ridiculous.

I wholeheartedly agree with you. When I heard about that one I nearly choked.

Ok, perhaps I'm just misunderstanding the concept of a vintage dress, but can't two people have worn a dress in the last five years and the dress still be 'vintage?' I was under the impression that dresses, like jewelry, are often loaned to stars for these events. So...what am I missing?

Date: 2006-01-20 11:17 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] elisa0984.livejournal.com
I think the jewelry might be less recognizable, for example diamond studs or dangly things that you won't really notice have been repeated unless you zoom in on everyone.

I think one aspect that is really bugging the celebs is that now they won't have the exclusive "And didn't Reese look stunning in this dress that we haven't seen in decades and will likely not see again for another 20-30 years?"

Sorry, I forgot to repeat that bit from the earlier entry: it turns out that the dresses weren't even vintage to begin with. They were saying that it was okay that they loaned out vintage dresses to multiple people--but if they were just newly made dresses loaned out to multiple celebrities at red-carpet events (a fact which wasn't disclosed, either)? Not kosher.

Yeah, no issues there. These things happen.

Did you guys check out [livejournal.com profile] missanthropy's LJ. Uber classy.

Don't know if you've already got it (most likely yes):

900000 LJ accounts hacked (http://blogs.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2006/01/account_hijacki.html). So *this* is what's been going on.

I don't have any insider information, but if I may speculate for a moment, I suspect that LJ has known this for a while and this is the reason why they were nagging people to change their passwords (of course, they couldn't openly tell so back then). If you change your password, the cookie you have in your browser changes too, and the cookie that the hackers stole from you gets invalidated.

Just saw that too, via Slashdot (http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/01/20/2016226). That would explain why all of my cookies fled screaming from me today.

Good luck with getting the meds sorted out. This probably isn't your problem, but I heard on NPR yesterday that in PA, if you can't get your prescription right away because of confusion due to the new health care bill, then the state will give you a five day supply until you get the paperwork sorted out.

Yeah, I was just impressed that the state cared enough to try and plug the holes in a piece of federal legislation. The feds were reportedly so unprepared that their call center employed only 150 people initially. Within a week they had to ramp it up to 4000.

Tom Cruise does realise that he's just guaranteed that every teenager in Britain with an interest in South Park and an internet connection will now see that episode, hasn't he? I mean, I'm downloading it. If he hadn't done that, it would have just passed me by 'cause I don't have satellite. Banning something is a surefire way to get it spread about. Don't believe me?

Was actually listening to the radio when the news about the whale was first announced - I found it hysterically funny. Like, I laughed for about five minutes. And then I felt bad for the whale, and guilty for laughing, and then I started laughing again because I could imagine people walking along the banks of the river Thames and stopping dead when they saw WHALE of all things. I was hoping you'd have heard of it, and had I feeling it'd be here. ^_^

P.S. I actually find it so funny, I made a t-shirt - http://www.cafepress.com/cp/customize/designer.aspx?clear=true&number=44981205.

Hey Cleo,

Just letting you know that on the weekend I finally managed to pick up my copy of "Movies In Fifteen Minutes" after something like 6-8 weeks of waiting for it.

Angus & Robertson (Australian major retail bookseller) were able to order it, but it was an indent order from the UK, hence the long waiting time.

Well anywhoo, I now have it in my hot little hands and have already knocked off reading "Jurassic Park in 15 Minutes" and am about to get stuck into "Braveheart in 15 Minutes". Can't wait!

Toodles......
