- The first sentence in Billions of Billions by Carl Sagan is "I never said it." This is gonna be a good book.
- The weather did break last light. My bones don't lie.
- I won ten credits on Blog Explosion. first thing this morning.
- I finally finished reading all of Deni Bonet's archives back to the very first entry of her blog. I have been reading her since April 2, 2005, but she started writing in December of 2004 and I needed to backtrack. Funny lady — and far more interesting than Paris Hilton.
- Speaking of whom ... I wish it weren't the top story in today's news (and I kind of wish she'd continued to go with the minimalist, sweet makeup she used coming out of jail instead of switching back to full-on war paint), but I'm ready to give Paris Hilton the benefit of the doubt. She persists in pointing out that we don't know the real her. (Of course we don't. We only know the one she presented to us. If that's not real, is that our fault?) If she truly shows a change in her life at this point (I never perceived her as a druggie or a drunk as much as a skank, a societal drain, and a dingbat) I will apologize for all the bad things I thought about her.
- On the other hand, Time Magazine did a count of how many times Paris Hilton said each word she used in her interview with Larry King. She doesn't appear to have used the words "learn" or "give" at all. She used the word "I'd" four times, "I'm" thirty-three times, "me" forty times, "my" sixty-one times, and "I" two hundred eighty-five times.
- On the other, other hand, we as the viewing public asked for it, didn't we?
- Not that I watched it. There was a twenty year-old documentary about Gershwin on PBS and I was all over that. It was awesome. After that, I just read my new book till 10:00 pm, when I watched reruns of Whose Line Is It Anyway? till I dozed off. Options rock.
