I Love Long Weekends
Except when I'm sick for almost the entire time. If I'm going to be sick and miserable, I'd rather it be on a day when I'm supposed to be at work and I can feel gratified about taking the time off and spending the day in bed.
Instead, that is pretty much how I looked this weekend after multiple Benadryl Sinus and Advil Cold and Sinus pills. Lucky for me, I'm feeling better just in time to go back to work. Hooray.
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World
Just when you needed further proof that the world we live in has really and truly lost its grip on reality someone is always willing to come through. And no, I'm not taking about North Korea's new nuculear status. This time (as it often is) Trekkies have managed to prove once and for all that some people will spend obscene amounts of money on anything.
Star Fleet Capt. Jean-Luc Picard commanded it. Now some Trekkie owns it.
A model of the Starship Enterprise used in the pilot and title sequences of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" sold for $576,000 Saturday at an auction of costumes, sets and props from 40 years of the "Star Trek" sci-fi franchise.
As a HUGE fan of Star Trek Enterprise and an admitted movie buff I have to admit that I think this is really cool. However, I can't imagine ever spending that much money on anything outside of . . . I don't know . . . a house.
In other "the whole world's gone crazy" news, Scarlett Johansson has decided to inform the public that she's not promiscuious, except when she is.
". . . I wouldn't say I'm a serial monogamist, either. I mean, I went through periods of time when I was, ah, single. But when I'm in a relationship, I'm in a relationship . . . I do think on some basic level we are animals, and by instinct we kind of breed accordingly," she says. "But as much as I believe that, I work really hard when I'm in a relationship to make it work in a monogamous way."
Wow. Just wow. I think this might just rank right up there with Paris Hilton's "I'm not having sex for a year" comment, just before she went and was caught all over (in public) her ex.
