Well, hola. Today was a good day for the most part. But, yesterday... my mom got into a car accident. She wasn't hurt and no one else was, but the car's pretty beat up. The back window's broken and their's a huge dent in it. But, at least we have a sexy while rental car. YEEAH! And well, today I watched the Corpse Bride, * mumbles * Bratz: Rock Angelz. Oh, I'm so cool and made COOKIES! I'm such an awesome baker. If you just don't eat the burnt bottoms. * shifty eyes*well, I guess I'm done here. Peace-up, a-town-down.

You scored as White Lighter. You are a White Lighter! You seek the dawning of the New Age and the raising of the consciousness of mankind (which of course happens in 2012, and all in one day). You seek only to do good, and are determined to cut out that pesky dark side once and for all. You know your own role in the coming Earth Changes is important, and you must let all know so they know whom to turn to at that crucial moment!

But I thought you had said you didn't want to play the "arch" Brittish man on American TV.F rom'Buffy'star channeling Elton John in ABC comedyby Nellie Andreevawed Feb 1, 2: 48 AM ET "British actor Anthony Stewart Head, formerly of WB series" Buffy the Vampire Slayer, "has landed the lead in" Him & Us, "ABC's comedy pilot inspired by the life of Elton John. The project revolves around an over-the-hill gay rock star and his relationship with his long-time manager and the rest of his colorful entourage." I'm a little afraid for the old boy. Was it that hard to find decent work in the UK?

PARIS, France (AP) -- The managing editor of a French daily that republished caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad has been fired, the paper said Thursday, as debate over the drawings mounted among French Muslims and non-muslims alike. The drawings, which first ran in a Danish paper in September and have riled the Muslim world, were reprinted Wednesday in France Soir and several other European papers rallying to defend freedom of expression. The managing editor of France Soir, Jacques Lefranc, was fired after the publication by owner Raymond Lakah, an Egyptian magnate...

In the off-season, the Detroit native is usually here, hosting one of his well-attended parties. This week, Bettis won ’ t be as much of a party guy, since the Pittsburgh Steelers running back will be competing for his first Super Bowl ring.

Closer to home, an editorial cartoon by Tom Toles in the Washington Post garnered the ire of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. As Howard Kurtz describes it, the cartoon "depicts a heavily bandaged soldier in a hospital bed as having lost his arms and legs, while Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, in the guise of a doctor, says:'I'm listing your condition as" battle hardened. "'"

Kama Sutra Worm Could Make For A Bad Friday. mikey1134 writes "CNN is running a story about the Kama Sutra worm, a virus that is coded to overwrite files of the (potentially thousands of) infected computers. They provide some background on this viral outbreak and warn users to protect themselves" From the article: "And even for home computer users who have never taken such precautions before, security experts say now would be a good time to back up your most important data, like financial information and family photographs, to Cds, Dvds, zip drives, or an external hard drive that you know is worm and virus free. Unlike a lot of malware that exploits vulnerabilities in the Windows operating system, there is no'patch'that can be downloaded to ward off Kama Sutra." [Slashdot]

I was mercilessly tagged by and I have no choice but to follow orders! Ground Rules: Name your Top 20 List Of Lust, in no particular order. Your neighbor or grade school teacher doesn't count. The list can be male, female or mixed. They can be real life celebrities or characters in a movie or TV show. For example, you might want to gag Mariska Hargitay, while still lusting after Butchy Mcfabulous Olivia Benson. Tag 5 people on your flist to do this meme. And yeah, I went with the black and white theme too, because it was so purdyfull! And since I just can't compare men and woman, I've divided them into two lists. Here are the Men; # 12 - > # 1

After 145 years, Western Union has quietly stopped sending telegrams. On the company's web site, if you click on "Telegrams" in the left-side navigation bar, you 're taken to a page that ends a technological era with about as little fanfare as possible: "Effective January 27, 2006, Western Union will discontinue all Telegram and Commercial Messaging services. We regret any inconvenience this may cause you, and we thank you for your loyal patronage. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact a customer service representative."... The world's first telegram was sent on May 24, 1844 by inventor Samuel Morse. The message, "What hath God wrought," was transmitted from Washington to Baltimore.
