Sorel, FWIW, is hibiscus flower.
It's a hibiscus, but isn't readily recognisable as one by eye. The plant looks like this. I'm not sure of its seasonality, but I've heard people say it has one, unlike the daily repetitive hibiscus flowers we use as decoration.
GUS!!! W00T!! Maybe I will get to travel this year. Just to Wisconsin, but still. I'll take travelling.
Yay for Gus.
I just shovelled the driveway. It was hardly worth it, really.
Factchecking
is
cool, kids:
Actor Samuel L. Jackson landed in trouble after taking his daughter Zoe out partying in Italy, because journalists claimed he was cheating on his wife with a much-younger woman. The Hollywood actor, 56, and his 22-year-old offspring enjoyed what they thought was an innocent night out together, but overzealous journalists soon reported that Jackson was being unfaithful to wife LaTanya. He says, "There was an article about me running from nightclub to nightclub with a girl young enough to be my daughter. And my mom called me and was like, 'What are you doing?' I'm like, 'Look, it was your granddaughter !' She's with me, we're in Milan, we're at the fashion shows, so at night we go to the clubs. My daughter's hanging out with me and for some reason they assumed it was someone else."
Bwah! Okay, that's funny.
gossip columnists are jackasses.
Ha. That is so awesome.
"Good God, man! She's young enough to be your daughter!"
"SHE IS MY DAUGHTER MOTHERFUCKER. (Sorry, honey. Don't swear.)"
I saw a flag at half mast on the way to work this morning, is something going on or does someone just really dislike Bush?
That's fantastic, ita. Speaking of SLJ, I would like to see
The Coach
but fear it is a spinach movie.
I saw SLJ in an interview (maybe it was The Daily Show?) where he said he rides the subway in NYC. He says every once in a while, someone will look at him twice, as if trying to decide if he's really Samuel L Jackson. He said whenever anyone askes, he replies, "Naaaaah. He wouldn't ride the subway, man."
