Hawk and I on the trail
Archive for May, 2004
Sorry for the long absence, but I was in Hawaii with my family. We had a great time, and it was really hard to go back to work today. Check out these pictures!
Here is a list of bad celebrity baby names that MSN.com put together. Some of them I don’t agree with - I think Scout is an awesome name for a girl (but then again I’m a big To Kill A Mockingbird devotee). My hands down, absolute favorite of all time is Jermaine Jackson’s son. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you…Jermajesty.
10. Rumer Glenn, Tallulah Belle and Scout LaRue, daughters of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore
9. Jett, son of John Travolta and Kelly Preston
8. Diezel and Denim, sons of Toni Braxton and Keri Lewis
7. Prince Michael, Prince Michael II (AKA Blanket), and Paris Michael, children of Michael Jackson
6. Speck Wildhorse and Hud, sons of John Mellencamp and Elaine Irwin
5. Pilot Inspektor, son of Jason Lee and Beth Riesgraf
4. Tu Morrow, daughter of Rob Morrow and Debbon Ayre (seriously)
3. Audio Science, son of Shannyn Sossamon and Dallas Clayton
2. Moon Unit, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan, Dweezil, and Diva, children of Frank Zappa
1. Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily, Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches Honeyblossom, and Pixie, daughters of the late Paula Yates (Tiger Lily’s dad is the late Michael Hutchence; Bob Geldof is father to the other three)
Dishonorable Mention: Zowie (son of David Bowie — he later changed his name to Joe before settling on Duncan); Elijah Bob Patricius Guggi Q (son of Bono), Banjo (son of Rachel Griffiths), Jaz (daughter of Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf), Romeo and Brooklyn (sons of Victoria and David Beckham), Aurelius (son of Elle Macpherson), Lyric and Zephyr (daughter and son of Robby Benson), Hopper (son of Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn), Kyd (son of David Duchovny and Tea Leoni), Reignbeau and Freedom (son and daughter of Ving Rhames), and (gulp) Jermajesty (son of Jermaine Jackson).
I read a little blurb today that says that Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow have no explanation for the name “Apple” other than they thought it was “a very cool name”. I’m sorry, I don’t accept that. There has to be some reason why you would name your child such a bizarre name. Something had to inspire it. Perhaps it was Gwynnie’s macrobiotic diet…
CNN.com has a nice article about the end of Angel which is TOMORROW NIGHT for those of you who care.
Gwyneth Paltrow had her baby over the weekend. It’s a girl, and they named her…(ready?)….APPLE. That poor kid.
We had a lovely brunch at our house Sunday morning and had about ten of our friends over. My wonderful hubby made vegan French Toast and vegan Peanut Butter Coffee Cake from the Compassionate Cook, and got rave reviews from everyone, even the staunchest non-vegans. We drank many mimosas (here’s a tip - make them with Tangerine juice instead of orange juice. Yum!) and had a great time.
Massachusetts started marrying gay and lesbian couples today. Congratulations to all the newlyweds! Hopefully California won’t be too far behind.
Since pretty much all I’ve been writing about is Bush and war and beheadings and prison abuse, I thought it was time for a yummy picture of Brad Pitt in a skirt:
