Apparently another pancake storm is coming in, and it's going to be bad. I hear they're actually letting schools out, in fact. I just have to get to my medicine check and get back before the wind cranks up.

Re: The Tudors pics yesterday:

If you watched the behind-the-scenes/interviewy thing I posted last week, you might have noticed that the premise of the show seems to be that Henry VIII was "the original rock star." So accuracy may not be the top priority here. I almost hope they go full-out with modern music and be done with it--go hard or go home, that kind of thing.

Ask and ye shall receive: "New preview of The Tudors set to Evanescence's 'Lacrymosa.' " (Oh, King Henry, you so emo. Hee.) There's also another new preview, "All The King's Women", aka A Little Something for the Laydeez. You'll understand what I mean when you get there.



Teensy bit of Oscar gossip: Armani may have stolen Cate Blanchett's purse; Orlando Bloom and Penélope Cruz groped the night away at Prince's Oscar party. Although, it was Prince's Oscar party, so I'm not sure what else they were supposed to do.

UFO science key to halting climate change: former Canadian defense minister: "A former Canadian defense minister is demanding governments worldwide disclose and use secret alien technologies obtained in alleged UFO crashes to stem climate change, a local paper said Wednesday."

More Fun in Boston: "The Boston Bomb Squad, who made their city a national laughing stock a month ago by blowing up cartoon Lite-Brites, answered the question "What will you do for an encore?" by blowing up a traffic measuring device put in place by the Boston Transportation Department." Counting the Dr. Pepper fiasco, this would actually make three hissyfits that Boston's thrown in--what, a month?

Sting nets $45 million in drugs.

I initially thought this was referring to the lute-playing former member of the Police, and I was very confused. *sigh* It's gonna be a long day.

Me too! It's the only reason I bothered to check out the article because I had to see how Sting made so much money from drugs.

I figured he was taking the Love, Actually advice to heart: "Don't buy drugs, kids. Become a pop star and they'll give you the stuff for free!"

Eric Bogosian, from a segment of his excellent show titled, "Sex, Drugs, Rock and Roll," as an aging rock-and-roll star doing an interview:

Bill, I'd like to say one more thing about drugs if I may.

A lot of the kids watching right now buy our albums, learn the lyrics, memorize them, live their lives by them. So I know that everything I have to say is very, very important. And I'd like to say this about drugs:

(He looks directly and "meaningfully" at the audience.)

I've done a lot of drugs. I had a lot of adventures on drugs. Some of my music has been inspired by drugs. In fact, I think it's safe to say I had some of the best times of my life on drugs.

That doesn't mean you have to do them.

I, uh, continued to think that until you pointed out that it wasn't him.

Me too, I was like "OMG, not my Sting! Noooo! *click* *read* Ohhh.."

I want Sting for my birthday =) I don't even fancy him like that. I just think he'd be nice to have around the house.

He'd be a conversation piece, certainly.
