I just started Third Degree by Greg Iles...my new favorite author. But, I have found one thing that I don't like about his writing. Every woman is a harlot who either cheats on her husband and/or has an affair with a married man. In all 3 of his books that I have read, the main character finds herself fighting with her inner harlot. In the first one, "Blood Memory", the hero of the story was pregnant with a married man's child and fought her desires for him throughout the entire story.
In the second book, "True Evil", the main character carried an unending grief over the death of a man whom she loved and whom loved her. He was married though and, while he never cheated on his wife with her, they made their love known to one another just before his death.
And, now in "Third Degree", the main character is struggling after she finds herself pregnant with another man's baby. Both of them are married to someone else.
Why is Greg Iles so obsessed with married men and their mistresses? Why do all the main characters have some illicit relationship with a married man? In 2 of the 3 cases, the woman beats herself up about it while the man has this quiet heroic quality. Why does it seem like she is always a little more guilty of this transgression than the man. And, why is the wife always some evil, high-gloss, uncaring bitch who seems to deserve her husband's roving libido?
Don't get me wrong. I really love Greg Iles' work but, I feel he could give the misunderstood tragic harlot role a break.

Going! Going! Gone?
So, you know that show I hate? You know...American Idol. The one that people are reportedly so in love with? The most watched show on TV? Really, when that is reported each week by Ryan Seacrest, he should say, "since we are just about the only fresh episode of anything on TV right now due to the strike".
Check it out. On Tuesday the 30th, the "Most Watched Show on TV" saw an audience of 25.33 million people. It is actually dropping in viewership by 5% week-to-week. And, since 2007, it has dropped 20% of its viewers! How about that?
Furthermore, it was up against Wife Swap who saw 5.79 million viewers and was up 190 thousand from the previous week.
I have to ask, if we had regular scheduled programming because no strike existed, how would American Idol survive against shows like NCIS and Bones? Of course, since American Idol is on Fox, Bones would have been booted to another hour or another day but, I still think that Bones would beat the crap out of American Idol's ratings if given a chance!
I wonder, how many more weeks of this show there are left? If it continues to see a 5% drop in viewership week-to-week, can it sustain enough audience to keep it on the air before its finale?
Just asking!

Can She Redeem Herself?
In the past, I have been really hard on Britney Spears. Now that she is under at least 72 hours of psychiatric control I am struggling with whether it is even ok to comment on it. If she is truly bipolar, my heart goes out to her. I hope that she gets the help that she needs. Everyone that cares for her...and I mean truly cares for her because they have nothing to gain but the happiness of seeing her healthy...is offering all that they can do to help her. But, if in the end, she decides to spit in their faces and denies them anymore help after the required 72 hours, she has no one to blame but herself.
My question is: Do you think that Britney can ever make a career comeback if she can get her mind straight through psychiatric help? Or, has she so disgraced herself that no one will ever be able to see her talent again?

Another Book Bites The Dust...
I finished Greg Iles' True Evil last night. Another spectacular read. It started off just a little bit slow but, proved exciting and another "can't put it down". Greg Iles makes me sad, mad and happy and, even to his last words in the book, he invokes feelings of both glee and despair. He has made a fan out of me with his ability to create an emotional roller coaster with words.

Holy Wind, Batman...
I fear wind. Have a tree fall on your house during a freak micro burst and see how much you love it from then on.
About 5 or 6 years ago, on Mother's Day morning, the hubby and I were sleeping soundly when the wind picked up in what we have dubbed "our Vortex" in our backyard. It lasted about 5 to 10 seconds but, that was all it took to knock a huge oak tree from our backyard onto our house. Fortunately, as witnessed by our then next door neighbor who had been playing with his kids outside in his backyard when he saw the tree get knocked onto our house from the wind, a branch bent upon initial impact with our house and knocked the tree off to the side of our house only making 2 rather small holes in our house. One was something between the size of a baseball and football on our roof and the other hole was about the size of tennis ball on the side, if memory serves. The majority of our damage was to the fence between us and our neighbors and our gate to our portion of the fence.
So, let me just make this abundantly clear: If it weren't for that branch bending and knocking the tree away from our house, it might very well have landed on our house, possibly separating mine and my hubby's head from our bodies and I wouldn't be here telling you all about it today.
The wind last night gave me flashbacks of that morning and the extremely rude way in which we were awakened. The sound of a tree falling on one's house is a sound that you will never forget.
The reason that we call our backyard a Vortex is because, we tend to get massive winds back there. The wind seems to double in intensity between my house, my two next door neighbors and one more neighbor 2 houses down. I don't know why it gets so bad between our 4 houses. It just does and we have all talked about it a lot. So, I guess you could call us the Vortex 4.
Finally, just a little funny note here. After that huge crack-bang-thud, I got out of bed and went to the window to see what the heck all the racket was about. I peered through my blinds and said, "A tree just fell on our house." Hubby then asked me, "Which tree?" To which my only response was, "The big one!"

A Good Change...
For as long as I can remember, Tracy Quartermaine from ABC's General Hospital has had the same basic hairstyle. Always a highly glossy bob of varying lengths. But, she finally made a change and it is fabulous. The actress is Jane Elliot, she is 61 years old and has always been a favorite of most of the shows viewers. I even read an article where she mentioned that the one thing people can agree on about her is how beautiful her hair is. She just has some of the most healthy looking hair in show business and always has. But, when I read that article, I couldn't help but think that, while her hair is remarkably healthy looking, she really needed a new style. I am 34 years old and think that I have watched General Hospital for about half of my life and, as far back as I can remember, Tracy Q's mane hasn't changed much, if at all, in all those years!
Well, she must have read my mind...hey, a girl can imagine...because last week, she was sporting a brand new do that actually takes about a decade or 2 off of her appearance! She chopped it up and got herself a sassy new pixie cut that really flatters the heck out of her!
Way to go Jane Elliot! Sometimes, a girl just needs a drastic change to bring us back to life and, you sure as heck cornered the market on that!

Try To Be Intelligent Before You Open Your Mouth
I was listening to my favorite radio station last week and they posed the question: "Why wouldn't you vote for a black man or a woman for President of the United States." Some idiot without the brains that God gave my toe nails called and asked, "why would we put someone who bleeds for 7 days but doesn't die into the White House?" Seriously? I mentioned this to someone else and he asked me if anyone called in to point out that, at Hillary Clinton's age, she is probably not bleeding anymore as she is probably having or has had menopause.
If you are using stupid reasons like that to vote for someone else, you should have your rights to vote taken away. Disagree with their policies. Fine! Great! But, disagree with what might or might not be going on in their underwear and you should really be classified as socially and politically ignorant!

New To Me...
I am hooked. I finished my first book by Greg Iles. It is titled Blood Memory and was spellbinding, captivating and 767 pages of "can't put it down" fun! One of my friends recommended it to me and now I am hooked. So good was this book that I tore through an astounding 305 pages in one day.
Get it! Read it! Love it!

What Is Wrong With This Guy?
Fox News Radio Host John Gibson has some heartless things to say about Heath Ledger somewhere around an hour after news of his death broke. Listen to this fool make an ass out of himself: http://thinkprogress.org/2008/01/23/gibson-mocks-ledger/
And, listen to MSNBC host Keith Olberman respond to this butt: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/22811536#22811536
I love his last few remarks!
There will never be a time when someone can joke about someone else's death. Regardless of one's opinion about a person's death, it saddens someone, whether it is one person or one million people, that that person no longer shares space on this Earth with the rest of us. Whether you liked Heath Ledger as an actor or not, there is nothing funny about his death. I am probably one of the few people that has never seen Brokeback Mountain. And, it isn't by choice. I do intend to watch it someday. Really, I just need to remember to look for it via my Tivo and schedule it to record it. And, I have seen others of his movies, including 10 Things I Hate About You, which I have seen a couple of times. The man knew his craft and never fell anywhere near short in his performances. He is to be respected...no matter what his personal life was like (drugs or not) and regardless of how he may or may not have died...as everything is only speculation as this point and until the toxicology report comes out.
Forgive me for my blabbering but, I was outraged at John Gibson's nasty remarks and, I hate to say this but, Karma has a way of biting people in the ass. If ever Karma had a new ass-biting candidate on the top of its list, John Gibson just wrote his name in the number one spot.

Wow! I Mean...Wow!
There are some people in the world that you can pretty much expect will do something stupid and it won't really surprise you. Britney Spears is becoming one of those people. But, she managed to surprise me today. She requested an emergency hearing in which she was hoping to get back visitation rights with her kids in a therapeutic setting. Basically, she would be granted visitation rights with someone monitoring the entire visit. So, she requested the emergency hearing. She should have shown up. It is sort of a given that if you make a request of other people's time, you should be there with those other people. She didn't have to show up. Neither did Kevin Federline. But, he did and she did...until she decided she didn't want to be there and just turned around and left without even entering the courtroom! Really? Well, I guess she can't complain about the fact that the Commissioner decided to leave the current custody situation in Kevin's hands...entirely. She still can't visit her kids. Thank God!
I know that there is a lot of speculation that she has been tentatively diagnosed with some form of Bipolar Disorder. Apparently, she has never been tested for it but, it is the possible cause of all her erratic behavior. But, that doesn't give her an excuse for being such a bad mother and an all around disrespectful pain in the public's ass! Especially since, I have no doubt that if people have questioned this possible affliction in the past, it has been brought up to her and she should take it seriously and get herself properly examined. That is what a responsible person would do and, it isn't like she can't afford the tests and resulting medicines she might need. Come on! There are people in the world who know there is something wrong with them and they don't have the means or the money to seek proper help or get even a modicum of answers. They pray for what she has at her disposal. She just squanders every opportunity that she has been blessed with! She is inconsiderate and an absolute wreck and she needs to find herself in a rubber room STAT!

A Phrase Said For a Contract...Not a Relationship!
I am in the middle of reading People Magazine and the spread they did on Katie Holmes (last week's issue). On page 76 she was quoted as saying, ""When I met Tom, it was like, 'Right on, let's do it!'"" Interesting. I tend to think of the sentence, "Right on, let's do it!" as a thumbs up or agreement in something like a contract negotiation, buying a house, sealing a deal of some sort. So, that says that all the speculation about Katie and Tom being in a contract marriage is true! But, maybe I am just reading too much into her enthusiasm about her relationship with Tom.

The Good, The Bad...
During this semi-down time as the Writers Strike continues, I am watching a lot of Tivo picked movies. I watched a few good ones and a few stinkers this long Holiday weekend. Props to Prime and The Jacket! Those were two movies that had me hooked. Prime is a romantic comedy with Uma Thurman, Meryl Streep and October Road's Bryan Greenberg. It was funny and it actually surprised me at the end. I can usually guess what will happen at the end of a movie. I was wrong in a very good way this time. I am not a huge fan of Uma Thurman. I guess her movies are ok but, I just don't get her as a sex symbol or someone people lust over. But, she worked this role really well. Bryan Greenberg, on the other hand, is hot and I was happy to see him in that role. I never knew of him before October Road and it was nice seeing him in something else. I like him as an actor and, he is nice to look at!
The Jacket! Wow! I like Adrien Brody. He is charming and, oddly hot in my opinion. Again, Keira Knightley is not one of my favorite actresses either. But, she warmed up to the role and I enjoyed her in this film. The thing is, this is a movie that is sort of right up my alley, which is probably why my Tivo picked it for me, but, I don't recall ever seeing anything about this movie. No previews and I haven't read anything about it. Oddly enough, I watched the movie and not even 24 hours later, I was watching some entertainment news show and they were doing a tribute to Brad Renfro. They listed what he was in throughout his short life and The Jacket was on that list. I can't say that I remember his character in the movie but, how weird is that? I never heard even one word about The Jacket and then suddenly, inside of 24 hours, I watched the movie and heard it mentioned on another show I was watching!
Anyway, The Jacket is captivating. Usually, I have the attention span of about split second by split second increments. What that means is that, I am constantly checking how much time I have left in a movie before it comes to an end. It was only when I had to go somewhere that I checked to see how much more time I had left in The Jacket to see if I couldn't watch the end of the movie before I had to go. I only had 15 more minutes left which means that I made it through almost all of the movie before checking the time remaining! That is the mark of a really great movie...for me! I loved it!
Back to Brad Renfro. I also watched Apt Pupil this weekend. I really didn't like this one. I didn't hate it but, it just didn't captivate me, despite the material. It seemed sort of thrown together for me. I got the basic gist of him as a pupil who actually used what he learned in the end, but, it just didn't do it for me.

$11 Million...Hand Over Fist!
Get it J.J. Abrams! I am $16 of the $41 Million that Cloverfield raised this weekend! It took $30 Million to make the movie and in one weekend, that was returned plus a whopping $11 Million more! That is awesome! And, so was the movie! Well worth the hype and the anticipation! J.J. Abrams is a genius!
Not to mention...but, I will...he beat the reissue of Star Wars: Episode 1 record for the biggest 3 day box office opening in January!
Way to go!
Now, I have to ask Lizzy Caplan who played the character Marlena in the movie, if she could take back her response to a question she was asked in an interview for BlackBook Insider (http://www.blackbookmag.com/features/comments/lizzy/) would she? The interviewer asked: "What convinced you to take the part?" Her response was, "I’m a fan of “Lost.” That was it. During the first few weeks, it was like, “Oh god, this is what we’re doing? I had no idea. I’ll never sign on to another film again not knowing full well what it is.” But honestly, if Woody Allen or Wes Anderson called me today, and said, “Hey you want to do something? You don’t get to read the script,” I’d be like, “Yes, yes, yes!”
I wonder if her fat paycheck will make her change her mind now that the numbers are out and this movie may be the difference between her little known name and her becoming one of Hollywood's newest It girls.
And, just to give you an idea of how little known she is, she was in Mean Girls and most recently, a show called The Class which aired on CBS in 2006 and 2007 and has since been taken off the air. I will admit that I liked that show but, most people probably wouldn't know what I am talking about if I told them she was in it. And, in most of the stuff that I have found online about her and her role in the movie, they mention that she was in Mean Girls but say nothing about her role as Kat Warbler in The Class.
So, in my most humble opinion, she should be honored to be in such a box office record breaker as Cloverfield. What about it was so off-putting? Was it the fact that you had to run around a lot? Was it all the blood and guts? Boo hoo! It was a great movie and possibly a huge boost in your career as an actress! Welcome to WORK! It is hard. It can be dirty. But, when it is good, it pays off!

Out of Rehab
Thanks to my Mom, I am out of Nasal Spray Rehab! She called me Thursday and I was telling her about how I needed to put myself through Nasal Spray Rehab and that I had the long Holiday weekend planned for it. She told me that she had a suggestion for me. She told me that she was addicted to nasal spray for years and had to break her habit. She had to do it cold turkey with nothing to help her through it but, found out about a product years later that has helped her since then. It is Ayr Saline Nasal Gel. It is non-medicated and you just swab or rub it into your nasal passages. It shrinks those pesky swollen mucous membranes and helps you breath easier. It is actually suggested for babies because they can't blow their nose as they haven't learned that yet. It is completely non-addictive. I also got the Ayr Saline Nasal Mist and, BAM! I am now completely Nasal Spray free! I only had to use the Ayr less than 24 hours. I also used a Vapor Inhaler from Walgreens because, as good as the Ayr is, it wasn't perfect so, I needed a little bit of help to get my air passages unstuffed. I only used the inhaler for less than 24 hours as well.
So wonderful! I can't believe I broke the habit in less than 24 hours! Thanks to my Mom, Ayr and Walgreens Vapor Inhaler!
Oh, and because I am no longer suppressing my mucous, I am finally healthy! NO MORE COLD! After more than 2 and a half months, I am finally free of whatever that freaking bug was that was using me as a home since November 4, 2007!

Help For The Lightened Up!
I am a natural blonde and, a little over 6 months ago, I decided to be a brunette. I love me as a brunette. As my mom said, "Sometimes we are just not meant to be blonde." Imagine that. I think that most women strive to be blonde. I, however, strive to be much darker.
So, I have to go every 3 months and have my hair colored because my hair is so light naturally and, it is very fine so it doesn't hold the darker color as long as I would like it to. This was becoming progressively more and more irritating for me as I could only go about 2-3 weeks with my hair as dark as it is when I first get it done. I only wash my hair every other to every 2 days because it dries out too easily if I wash it every day so, my hair color could get lighter much quicker if I did wash it every day. And, to give you an idea of how much of a change my hair sees in just 3 weeks, I go from a really rich dark chocolate or even the color of molasses, to something a little bit darker than honey. That is somewhere between 2 and 3 shades lighter. That is an awful big change and coloring your hair isn't exactly cheap.
So, the last time I went in to get it colored, I talked to my girl about their color enhancing shampoo and conditioner. They sell Aveda in their salon. She suggested I buy the conditioner since it seems to make more of a difference than the shampoo. So, I got the Aveda Clove Color Conditioner and, it seems to be working. My hair is still a bit lighter than it was when I first left the salon but, it has lasted longer than it would have without the color conditioner.
So, for those of you who go from a light color to a darker color and tend to loose the intensity of your color in just a few washes, try the Aveda Color products and see if they help! I might try the Black Malva Color Conditioner next time as it is supposed to help with black or brown hair. Perhaps it will maintain the exact intensity of my freshly done color better than the Clove. Either way, I am pleased with what it has done thus far.

November 3, 2007
That is the last day that I was healthy. I have had a cold of some sort every day since November 4th and I am tired of it. For those of you who don't want to do the math, that is a grand total of:
2 MONTHS AND 12 DAYS
10 WEEKS AND 3 DAYS
74 DAYS!
And, to make matters worse, because I have been so congested and stuffed up, I have had to depend on nose spray just to be able to breathe with my mouth shut. So, now I need to put myself through my own personal Nose Spray Rehab. Fan-freaking-tastic!
I HATE THE FREAKING WINTER!

I Applaud Those Who Deserve It!
Lest you all think that I am a total, All Things American Idol Hater, I am not. I have given props to Kelly Clarkson in past posts and, now I have to give props to a past season loser. Daughtry is great. I love his voice and actually look forward to hearing his music on the radio. And, not to gloat but, he didn't win the season he was on. So, that should tell you something. Or, maybe it just tells me something because I am willing to hear the message.

American Idol Hype Daily Count
JANUARY 16, 2008: 20
YES! YES! YES! According to yesterday's American Idol 2 Hour Season Premiere, the ratings were down 13% since last years season premiere and only 10% down from 2006. If this show is so popular and so wonderful, it should have seen better numbers than 2006 and 2007! Not worse!
Please let this trend get stronger and stronger so we can finally see the last season of American Idol and I can start living days at a time without hearing, reading or seeing some kind of annoying hype about it...every single day of my life!

Only My Opinion...
I have no idea what the ratings for the newest installment of Donald Trump's Apprentice was but, I have been over this show since the first season and, I thought it was dead. In fact, I think it was dead 3 seasons ago. So, here is my opinion: If ever there was proof that money rules the world, the fact that Celebrity Apprentice is on the air is it. I believe that the only reason that this Trump drivel is on the air is because he is willing to pay a butt load of money to have it on the air!
Cash is King! And, Donald Trump has a lot of cash. So, by default...Trump rules the world! Ugh! Someone get me a barf bucket. Or, just grab his rug off his big head. That should be big enough to catch my vomit!
UPDATE: I read on TVguide.com yesterday that this week's episode of Celebrity Apprentice brought 26% less people willing to sit through The Trump's steaming pile of crap! Will we finally see the end of this show? Or, can Donald Trump just dig deeper into his pockets to fix his problems? I guess we'll have to see!
Of note: His ratings from Apprentice's hay day were 20 million and, in it's second week, Celebrity Apprentice is only bringing in an audience of 8.2 million.

A Movie That Gives Me Goose Bumps...
I like J.J. Abrams. I love Lost! I get excited to watch each new episode. So, I will be one of the people lining up to see Cloverfield this weekend. J.J. Abrams is possibly one of the most suspenseful writer/directors of our time and I think he has proven himself simply by the trailer for Cloverfield. I can not wait for my glimpse of the mysterious monster. There is nothing more that I can say to express how gripping the suspense of this movie is for me! I am simply...Spellbound!
And, The Cliche: Oops! She Did It Again!
Mother of the Year, Britney Spears, did not show up for court again yesterday! She was supposed to get her butt there to talk custody and possibly get her visitation rights reinstated but, she couldn't be bothered! She, reportedly, showed up outside of the courthouse but told her lawyers that she just wasn't into it so, she left. And, that is as it should be. If you just aren't into being a mother for the day, just leave. Why not?
So, she has lost all custody and visitation rights "indefinitely" and, I couldn't be more thrilled. Unless her lawyers call for an emergency hearing to discuss getting her visitation rights reinstated, her next chance may not be until mid-February.
You go girl! Who needs the hassle of being a Mom when you just aren't into it? Jeez! I mean, a girl has gotta live her life unencumbered by some needy little rug rats tugging on her short shorts!

New NCIS
Tonight's episode of NCIS should be the episode that CBS was slated to air before Christmas. The title is "Tribes" and, instead of this episode, CBS aired a rerun under that title and description some time before Christmas. I may be wrong about this but, I think this is the last fresh episode until the strike ends.

Less Than One Month Away!
The Winter Edition of Big Brother is less than one month away! I can't wait! 29 days to be exact!
A Pet Peeve...Revisited!
Wow! This takes the cake! I have seen a lot of people doing a lot of stupid stuff while driving their potential death machines but, this one really surprised me. I mean, you see enough women applying their makeup while driving, you almost get numb to it. And, I saw another woman putting her entire face of makeup on from my rear view mirror in the drive-thru at Starbucks last Friday. But, Saturday I saw the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen! A girl was cradling her cell phone between her right ear and shoulder while painting her nails as she left the drive-thru of a fast food restaurant! Well done! Bravo! That is the most productive use of driving time I have ever seen! You have actually managed to shock me!
Wait...might I have actually seen Britney Spears in disguise?

A Good Movie...
I don't recall hearing much good or bad about this movie, but, due to the strike and my ever decreasing new episodes of favorite shows, I am widdling away at my Tivo's Picks and the movie Just Friends was one of them. Just Friends is about a guy, played by one of my personal faves: Ryan Reynolds, who pines after his best female friend from school. He was overweight in school and, once out of school became a hottie and a career success. So, fate puts him back in his hometown, hilarity ensues and, this movie was awesome! I laughed the entire way through it!
So, here is how good this movie was. I was looking for something to watch while the hubby read a book. Something that he likely wouldn't care too much about and that wouldn't distract him from his reading. It turns out, Just Friends was the wrong choice because, only a minute into it, the hubby kept looking up from his reading to watch and laugh along with me. About 15 or 20 minutes into it, the hubby totally gave up the reading in favor of the movie! Oops! But, an impromptu unplanned movie night can sometimes be the best thing!
So, I highly recommend Just Friends! It stars, as mentioned before: Ryan Reynolds, Anna Faris, Amy Smart and Chris Klein and had some of the best one liners and a lot of physical comedy between Ryan's character and his on-screen brother! Who knew brothers could be so brutal? I loved it!

My Guilty Pleasure...
I know, at 34, I am way too old to be watching Real World on MTV. But, I can't help myself. It gives me pleasure to watch these kids make such asses out of themselves.
One such ass is Dunbar from the current (and about to end) installment of Real World: Sydney. Dunbar said he is one of the nicest guys he knows. He even said that he doesn't kill spiders, that's how nice he is. What does that have to do with anything? Anyway, he is possibly one of the most sexist men I have never met. He has gotten into one fight or another with every female on the show. He has a girlfriend back home, wherever that is. He prides himself in being such a nice guy. So, I guess it was his evil doppelganger that screwed his cast mate, Ashley! Right? I mean, it had to have been his evil doppelganger. What kind of self-proclaimed nice guy with a girlfriend back home would screw another girl? And, it wasn't just once, from what it seems. It was multiple times. Or, at least, they screwed once and just did everything else other multiple times. Either way, it only takes one time to cheat on someone.
News flash Dunbar: Nice guys don't cheat on their girlfriends!

Am I The Only One?
Am I the only person who can't see the occasional invisible car on the road? They have to exist. Otherwise, why would someone sit at least a car and a half behind the car in front of them at a stop light? I get the space you might leave between you and the car in front of you just in case someone slams into someone else and there is a chain reaction. You might be hit and moved a bit forward and have left yourself enough room to stop in time so as not to hit the car in front of you. But, a car and a half of space in front of you...and in some cases, more? That is pushing it! And, you are really inconveniencing others when you pull that crap. You probably force other people to sit through a light that they would have been able to get through if you weren't so inconsiderate. And, chances are, because of you, someone else behind you probably thought they had enough room to move through an intersection so, they went but, because of you, they are sitting right in the middle of the intersection, possibly blocking people from getting through their light when it turns green! You are an idiot and should loose your license!
Also, there is no one on the face of this earth with a car worthy enough of parking it sideways taking up 3 spaces in a parking lot! Get over yourself! Just because you have taken up 3 spaces so that no one can park next to you and therefore, possibly hit your precious car, doesn't mean that someone can't come in to the space next of your front bumper, or next your back bumper, and clip either one! Just because your car is parked sideways along 3 spaces, doesn't mean that it is now magically immune from being accidentally clipped. And, because you thought you were so much better than everyone else, everyone else now automatically thinks you are an asshole and that your car is an inconvenience to everyone else and someone may just decide to teach you a lesson! So, the lesson you need to learn is, you are actually putting your car at a bigger danger of being hit by your inconsiderate use of 3 spaces. Piss people off enough and they might retaliate!

Correction...
In my post with the Strike Chart update yesterday, I said that I thought that Criminal Minds and CSI: NY should be airing their last fresh episodes. I was wrong. They each have at least one more episode left in the can before they have to go dark. Both of them will air new episodes in 2 weeks (January 23rd). Sorry for the mistake!
American Idol Hype Daily Count...
How fitting! Let's get this day started right. Since my last post from yesterday was an American Idol Hype Daily Count, why not make the first post of the day today another American Idol Hype Daily Count. Especially since I haven't even been up for one entire hour yet and woke up to American Idol talk on my clock radio and have already heard about it 2 more times for a grand total, thus far, of:
JANUARY 10, 2008: 3
And, still Counting:
6 More for a Total of 9
And it is only 10:42 AM.
And, still more...

Park Where You Are Allowed To...
Here is another of my Pet Peeves:
People who park in spaces specifically not intended for them. In under 24 hours, I saw 2 separate instances where people parked in handicapped spaces but, were not handicapped. No handicap tag hanging from the rear view mirror. No wheelchair on their license plate indicating that they, or someone in the car with them, is handicapped! Not handicapped! Then, around a week and a half or so ago, a woman parked in a spot that has a sign that says "Reserved for members with infants". She got out of her car with her "infant" which was able to fully walk and talk like a 5 year old. Forgive me for my ignorance but, isn't the term "infant" reserved for those who can't walk? I think that "infants" that are of an age where they can walk, or toddle, are called "toddlers". Those who can actually walk without having to hold onto a piece of furniture or a person's hand are "children". So, where was her "infant". Unless she was under 3 or 4 months pregnant, she most certainly did not have an "infant". But, I digress! Who am I to judge a woman who so clearly has overstayed her welcome in the world of "Members with Infants".
And, just in case there are any disagreements, here is the dictionary definition of the word "infant" (in fact, here are 2):
1. a child during the earliest period of its life, esp. before he or she can walk; baby.
