Because, seriously, how could I not?
Not only did I work the new nearly job today, but I pretty uch went straight from that to hanging out at the yarn store until ten thirty. Yes, our yarn store has a night that they're open until ten thirty. Yes, it is part of my weekly social calendar to go hang out there.
Duh.

On the radio this evening, i heard that Paris Hilton had been cut off from her inheritance. Delighted, but suspicious, I came home and went looking for citations. It was easy to find a few, but none of them seemed credible. Between not finding it on any of the more mainstream news sources and a few (still sketchy) sources saying the story was bunk, I'm willing to call the whole thing off. In my search, though, I also stumbled across a few other amusing entertainment news items:
- Danica "Winnie" "I Showed My Boobs In Stuff Magazine" McKellar is coming out with a book to encourage girls to learn math. Which is fair, I guess, since besides showing off her boobs in Stuff, she was also a math major.
- They've already decided to reshoot the pilot episode of "Cavemen". This one's heading for real television greatness, I tell you.
- Paris is, on the other hand, going to be in a Sci-Fi Thriller rock musical. Which is fair, I guess, since in addition to being a wealthy tramp, she is also living in a world that is not our own.
- I found this version of Wonderwall in my Richard Cheese folder, but it's clearly not him. I am as yet undecided if it's the Paul Anka version, or the The Mike Flowers Pops version. Knowing nothing of either one, I can't really say. Anyone recognize it?
- Meanwhile, Rupert Murdoch is waiting for the i's to dot and the t's to cross before he acquires Dow Jones. I am uncertain why, but this prospect gives me the screaming heebie jeebies.
And, just to set the record straight, I'm not posting the Warren Zevon version because I think it's better, or I think it makes me cool. It's just the only version I have.
And for the complete mp3eme set:
Here are a few standards, shamefully mutilated by the father of the Beat Generation:
Here's something he wrote himself. It's almost as good as the song for Lindsay Weir in Freaks and Geeks:
Okay, maybe I'm being too hard on the old guy. But consider the version by Tom Waits and Primus:
