Boring Day
Not a lot to talk about today. Tori Spelling is on Stern right now, talking about her sex life. I may never stop vomiting. Edited to add: I just listened to Howard interview Darryl Hammond for nearly an hour, and didn’t realize it was Darryl until they said goodbye. Talk about a good “character” guy – I didn’t even recognize his real voice.
Yoga Tonight
Yoga tonight, thank god. This week I’ve had a hard time getting into the swing of things. I worked out on Monday and Tuesday (although I didn’t try all that hard on Monday), then blew it with pizza last night. It was worth it. I also baked cookies this weekend and the leftovers are torturing me. Today I skipped my usual cardio workout in favor a much-needed nap, and I feel terrible about it. I really need to stop beating myself up so much. Life is what it is, and all I can do is try.
Jessica Simpson On-Set Romance with Dane Cook?
I swear to christ, if this is true, I am going to burn down Hollywood.
iPod
Yesterday the geekboy and I finally sucked it up and bought an iPod. Certainly not a necessity, but I’ve wanted one for ages and thought I’d get a good amount of use out of it. We decided that we could afford it (I’ve had a few good freelance jobs lately), and ordered it yesterday. I know people love to talk about their iPods (dirty!), so why don’t ya’ll discuss your favorite accessories? All ours come with are earbuds and a USB cable, so we’re wide open.
Jessica Simpson Wants to Adopt Kids
What hell hath Angelina wrought? WHAT HELL HATH SHE WROUGHT?
Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes
A shitstorm started around Kevin Smith last week because comments he made about Jason Mewes and Nicole Richie surfaced in some gossip columns. Kevin decided to post the full story on his blog, but it ended up being an interesting profile of Jason Mewes and how the two of them met.
Grammar
I got an email from a reader yesterday (everyone say hi to Emily) who wanted to talk about grammar and, more specifically, why proper use of the apostrophe seems to have fallen by the wayside lately. She got an email from a co-worker that said, “Just a head’s up…” Eek. And I have seen way too many signs like this in the store: “CD’s and video’s for sale.” It hurts, people. It hurts.
As I go online to find an easy definition for you to pass on to your friends and family, I find that there are thousands of webpages devoted to the misuse of the poor old apostrophe. One site calls it The Apostrolypse. It says, “Think of it as worse than nuclear fallout: suffocation of all living organisim’s by the relentles’s rain of gratuitou’s apostrophe’s, swelling up as toxic aerial miasma…“
Here’s an entire blog devoted to Apostrophe Catastrophies. Excellent stuff.
And remember: “YOU-apostrophe-RE is You Are. YOUR IS YOUR!” Share your grammar nightmares in the comments. IF YOU DARE.
I love Joy Behar
Stern played this exchange between Star Jones and Joy Behar on The View this morning. I love Joy Behar.
