If I Could Talk With the Animals...

Everybody knows The Beatles and The Rolling Stones but what are the other bands of the "British Invasion" of the 1960s? One of my favourites is The Animals. They didn't have as long or as prolific a career as the Beatles or the Stones, which is likely why they are less well known. There were also fights amongst the band members, mostly over lead singer Eric Burdon's desire to go solo. I'm a fan though, mostly of House of the Rising Sun, We Gotta Get Out of This Place & Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood. I will now share the Animals. Please take a listen.

Another Joan Rivers Look-alike

so, it looks like we can add another formerly attractive person to the list of people who have been made identical, not to mention creepy by overdone plastic surgery. Rupert Everett, who was so good looking in 'My Best Friend's Wedding' and 'An Ideal Husband', has joined the aforementioned list. Mr. Everett used to look like this:


now he looks like this:

creepy, right?

Rain, rain go away

It's raining today and I am at the museum by myself because people don't generally go for walks in the rain and we get mostly walk-in business. This whole situation is making me a little sad & when I'm sad & it's raining (like today) I like to listen to Cat Stevens. Share the Cat.

He's Just Not That Into You... and He's an Asshole

Okay so, breakups blow. They blow large no matter what form they happen to come in. It's terrible to be told that someone you care about no longer cares for you. It's also terrible (and awkward) to tell someone that you don't love them romantically anymore. That being said, this douche in England has taken the avoidance of awkwardness and love of new technology to a new level.

Katie "Jordan" Price

I'm not British and because of this, I had never heard of Katie Price until I began reading the Daily Mail online. Katie Price is a former "glamour model" which is apparently British for "underwear model" (they're so polite, aren't they?). Jordan is the name she modeled under. after having her breast implants removed to be taken seriously, she now writes books and appears in tabloids under headings like "Katie's breast fat was pumped into her lips". for some reason, the Brits love her, much like some Americans love Paris Hilton and she's on a crusade to revamp her image as a wife, mother and author.
this is Katie Price about a month ago at a signing for her new book. would you take this woman seriously?
