This past weekend we travelled to Sun Valley, Idaho for the wedding of our friends Jac and K.C. I’ll put up pictures later, but it was the most beautiful wedding I’ve ever been to (except my own of course!) in one of the most stunning and beautiful locations I’ve ever seen. We had a wonderful time. More later.

…by Sen. Chuck Hagel, a REPUBLICAN from Nebraska, who has called for Bush to “end the madness” and urge an immediate cease fire in the Middle East.
“How do we realistically believe that a continuation of the systematic destruction of an American friend — the country and people of Lebanon — is going to enhance America’s image and give us the trust and credibility to lead a lasting and sustained peace effort in the Middle East?…Our relationship with Israel is special and historic, but it need not and cannot be at the expense of our Arab and Muslim relationships. That is an irresponsible and dangerous false choice.”
Now, I don’t know anything about this guy, but I happen to agree with him on this, and that’s not something I can say very often about a Republican.
James G. Robinson, head of the Morgan Creek Production company is my new hero. Look at the letter he wrote to Lindsay Lohan (and sent copies to her management people). He basically calls her a spoiled brat and tells her if she wants to avoid getting sued, she’ll cut the shit. LOVE IT.
This morning on the way downtown, I saw the best bumpersticker ever:
BUSH IS A DOUCHEBAG.
I think I love the guy driving that truck.
Doesn’t this seem a little fucked up? I mean, we’re getting raped at the pump, yet gas companies profits are soaring? Shouldn’t THEY have to shoulder a little of the burden? Why does all the extra cost get passed on to the consumer?
I’m up visiting my folks in the Bay Area and today the heat wave (it was 107 in Belmont today - unheard of) claimed a very special victim. Lucy, my parents’ pug, who was 13, died tonight of heat stroke. We’ve had her since I was 16, and she was my special girl. I will miss her snarfles, her snoring in my ear while we watched TV, her soft soft ears, her indomitable spirit. She was my little Lulu, aka Lulu Bear.
Other than that, I’m too devastated right now to say more than I love her, and I will miss her for the rest of my life.
Freakgirl posted this on her blog this morning and I have to jump on the bandwagon.
Here are some of my picks for worst lyrics:
She said to me, “Go steady on me.
Won’t you tell me what the Wise Men said?
When they came down from Heaven,
Smoked nine ’til seven,
All the shit that they could find.
- James Blunt, “Wise Men”
There’s also a line in this song where the three wise men have a “semi by the sea”. Wha?
Yeah Yeah, God is great
Yeah, Yeah, God is good
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
- Joan Osborne, “What if God was One of Us”
It’s like how singers insert “baby” into songs all the time, but that doesn’t really work when you’re talking about God, I guess.
Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Joey’s head
- Nickelback, “Photograph”
Really, what the hell is on Joey’s head?
What are your picks for worst song lyrics?
Wow, North Carolina, you really took your time with this one. Yet another reason why I’m glad I don’t live there. At least they’re not alone in their ridiculousness. Virginia, West Virginia, Florida, Michigan, Mississippi and North Dakota have laws that prohibit cohabitation.
