This is probably the greatest website I've seen in awhile. It's like mySpace for goths. My first instinct was to point and laugh, and I spent some time clicking through all the profiles getting a kick out of the heavy-duty angst. But after awhile I noticed something -- there's a sense of real camaraderie here, to an extent I've never seen matched by another networking site. It smacks you right in the face, perhaps because it's so unexpected when juxtaposed with dark art and occult screen names. It...

Those of you who know me well understand that I am terrified of flying. Those of you who have actually flown with me understand it at an even deeper level, because in my drugged-up drunken haze I have probably done something gracious like stabbed you in the eye with a pencil or poured my wine on your lap. A typical day in which I have to fly goes something like this:

I'd feel bad for him, except, really, dude, there are less public places for a blog darling to do his yoga. So instead I just kind of wish I'd thought to do this first.

In today's modern world, man can walk on the moon, planes can fly at the speed of sound, babies can be conceived in test tubes and naked chicks can protest nanopants, yet the doctors assure me that nothing can be done for my toe. It is at the least sprained and quite possibly fractured, and I limp around the office all day like an amputee, but apparently a very serious toe injury is something you just wait out. For weeks, I'm told. It was suggested that I soak my toe in ice at night and take Advil in the morning. Why do we even have doctors? />In today's modern world, man can walk on the moon, planes can fly at the speed of sound, babies can be conceived in test tubes and naked chicks can protest nanopants, yet the doctors assure me that nothing can be done for my toe.

It's a really, really, really slow news day, otherwise I wouldn't force this link upon anyone, but Eddie Murphy and Mel C (aka Scary Spice), plan to wed in September. I'm really sorry about this, guys. The least relevant Baldwin got in a car accident, too, but that's about it today....

Tonight was so much fun! Unfortunately it takes 45 minutes to go the 11 miles to Culver City in rush-hour traffic, but once I actually got there it was great. The first hour we sat classroom-style and listened to our fabulous instructor, May Parich, teach us about knife skills. I learned all the different types of knives and lots of ways to cut things -- diced, julienne...okay I forget the rest. But I never really understood how people successfully dice things, and May taught us how to hold and cut a veggie to get a lovely diced shape. I know most of you are giggling right now, but this was huge for me.

Enough about the ferret. Can we talk about that dress??...

In a show of the tolerance and love for fellow man we've come to find all but synonymous with the state of Arkansas, Governor Mike Huckabee proudly joins the ranks of the pardon-happy AR governors who came before him -- he and the state Parole Board approved an application for clemency that will, after nearly 31 painful years, return Keith Richards' good name to an unblemished state. The Rolling Stones guitarist pleaded guilty to reckless driving in the state in 1975, and Huckabee was deeply concerned that Richards' feelings about Arkansas were "m...
