Tori Spelling has never, for one instant in her life, conducted herself with anything approaching class or dignity.
Shut the fuck up and go away, Tori. NO ONE CARES.
Also, Matt Dillon and Nicole Ritchie? Seriously? ::shudder::
(Can you tell I’m looking at the cover of US Weekly right now?)

I love the holy hell out of my cats, but I have to admit that I am MIGHTY FUCKING GLAD that for 10 days in Maine I’ll be able to sleep without the little assholes crawling all over me all night long.
Sugarbutt, in particular, gets on my very last nerve every morning when he decides – right around 5:30 – that it’s time for everyone to wake up and get up, and he jumps up on the end of my bed and tries to climb the poster (as in, a four-poster bed) on one side, and when I kick at him and growl “KNOCK IT OFF, FUCKHEAD”, he goes to the other side of the bed and tries to climb THAT poster, whereupon I have to stretch my leg across the bed and kick at him again, and then he gets all wild-eyed and throws himself off the end of the bed much in the way I imagine a paratrooper would jump out of a plane – all sideways, with his ears back and a “I’m about to save my country!” gleam in his crazy eyes.
On the up side, it’s 7:20, and I’ve already done my walk for the day. All I need to do now is fold some laundry, do some vacuuming, clean out the litter box, take my shower, make 3-bean salad for dinner tonight, and I can spend the rest of the day being a lazy-ass.

From my comments:
Is there nothing wikipedia cannot tell me (ooh, a double negative. Hope that says what I want it to say…). I looked up string cheese, and they obligingly told me exactly what it is. They didn’t have a photo, though. Given your expertise, can you take a photo of string cheese for me? And I’m honestly not being a smart-arse here 😀 I don’t know what it looks like…
Your wish is my command!
This is how they come, individually wrapped. I usually buy Cheeseheads part-skim mozzarella string cheese, but apparently my grocery store has stopped carrying them. They were my favorite because they were lowest in calories (60 per string cheese) and highest in protein (9 grams). The string cheese I bought yesterday are 80 calories and 7 grams of protein. I’m going to hit the other grocery store today and see if they have my favorites.
Unwrapped – half cheddar and half mozzarella, by the way.
They’re called “string cheese” because you can pull pieces of cheese off in “strings.” I usually prefer to pop mine in the microwave (on a piece of paper towel) for about 15 seconds. They can be a little bland, but I really like the consistency. They’re very much like fried mozzarella sticks, without the breading.

I was just wondering how the laser is working on your moustache. Can you give an update please? I’m asking cuz I have a moustache too and want to get it lasered.
It’s going… so-so, I guess I’d say. The problem is that 99% of my facial hair is very blond, and lasers are really made to target dark hair. The lighter the skin and darker the hair, the better the laser works. My mustache has
some dark hair in it – and the lasering is taking care of it quite nicely – but the blond stuff is still growing and hasn’t been affected by the laser at all.
Once the lasering is through, I think I might have my mustache waxed off and ask my doctor for a prescription for
Vaniqa, which is supposed to retard hair growth.

In this terrible heat do you and your family miss having a pool like you had at your previous house?
The only time I truly miss the pool is while I’m actually exercising – I exercise pretty early in the morning, before it gets really hot out (especially days like today when the bastardly cats wake me up at 5:30, and I can get my walk in before the sun is up). But during my walk I get pretty hot, and there’s this house I walk by that has a pool in the backyard you can see from the street, and every morning, without fail, I think “I would SO love to just go jump in that pool right now…”
The rest of the time, the heat doesn’t bother me at all – in fact, when I get cold in the house, I’ll go out back and sit on the patio on the 90 – 100 degree heat, and I LOVE it.
We
are planning to get a pool in the next house, though. Maybe not like the monster pool we had at the old one, but a nice little one we can hang out in when the sun gets hot and heats up the pool.

We’re completely caught up on The Closer – we finished watching Season 1, and since we were starting to watch it before Season 2 premiered, I had the idea of taping Season 2 each week, just in case we liked the show. We did, so we’ve watched not only Season 1, but also everything of Season 2 that has aired so far (well, except for last night’s episode).
I just love the hell out of that Brenda Leigh Johnson. And I was never much of a fan of Kyra Sedgwick until now.
Last night we watched the first episode of Rescue Me. Holy crap, that’s a good show! I can’t believe we waited until now to start watching it. I’m glad we’ve found another show we really like. And we have two whole seasons worth to watch!
My only gripe is that I think Denis Leary’s hair is too long. Wouldn’t they make him cut it shorter?

Such a Toms.
Brudderly love.
Such a rough life.
