The sugar-sweet blogger Cakespy put together a list of movies that feature baked goods and pastries. Look for a contribution by yours truly, although I’m a bit embarrassed to say which movie. You’ll figure it out.

Check it out at Too Much Free Time.

I recently tried out some Rimmel 60 Seconds Nail Polish to use on my toes. Verdict: Yes! It went on nicely (not thick and goopy like some quick-dry nail polishes) and dried shiny. It stayed put for a week on my toes, but did chip off my fingernails rather quickly. Anyway, just wanted to let you know. What’s your favorite brand of polish?

See you tomorrow! We’re looking forward to a short holiday getaway, even though it appears we are bringing Canada the rain that plagued us for the entire month of June. Sowwy. I’ll blog and tweet (sounds dirty!) during our little vacation, most likely. I need to remember to turn off my iPhone, though, or the charges accrued will be heavy. I can use it with WiFi, though, right? My plan is to just put it in “airplane mode” and see what kind of functionality I get.

I have a ton of things to get done before we leave for Canada on Thursday, so please excuse the light posting lately.

I enjoy that they need to be told. via tv tattle

And a 13-year-old takes one for a test drive. Cute.

We saw it last week with the deaths of Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. And then Matt Lauer said on the Today show that not only do celebrities die in threes, but death comes like this — elderly, expected and sudden. Which works for last week.

Yesterday, OxiClean screaming man Billy Mays died suddenly at age 50. So there should be two more out there, right? Elderly and expected. Perusing CNN this morning, I saw that there were two more (albeit less currently famous) celebrity deaths. Gale Storm passed away at age 87 (elderly) and comedian Fred Travalena died of cancer at age 66 (expected). So, please, universe, let this week go by quietly, okay? And RIP, all of them.

I didn’t want people to ask me every time I did an interview, “Oh, is this record about your relationship with your ex-girlfriend?” But that damage is part of it, and the song “I Want to Kill You Like They Do in The Movies” is about my fantasies. I have fantasies every day about smashing her skull in with a sledgehammer.

Ugh.

This happened.

The world is buzzing today about the untimely death of pop icon Michael Jackson. You can find a delicious library of his video work here. Here at freakgirl.com, though we’re going to leave you with a collaboration you might have forgotten about (courtesy of Jon). Read the rest of this entry »

TMZ is reporting Michael Jackson has died of a heart attack. Holy shit, you guys.

Oh, Farrah. So horribly sad. I hope she’s at peace now.

Erm, so where are the photos?

It’s finally feeling like summer, and for me that means Pimm’s Cups! I haven’t had one since New Orleans — time to pick up a new bottle.

A really neat optical illusion.

Spotted on Craig’s List this morning.

I probably would have left, too. I mean, I get what was going on and that it was safe, but still. When I used to visit my sis in Key West, I had to fly a puddle jumper from Miami to the Keys. One time, before we took off, the pilot came into the cabin and personally rearranged us passengers in order to evenly distribute our weight. Which is perfectly reasonable on such a small plane, but was still a bit unsettling.

Another thing that made me laugh out loud this week.

These are great!

Just heard this on Sirius. So much yes.

Heh.

I don’t know why I find this so funny, but there you have it. Read the rest of this entry »
