I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

Why is Janeane Garofalo touting a Scientology-linked project?

The actress and talk-show host has done two segments on her Air America radio show “Majority Report,” heaping praise on the controversial New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project, a program based on the teachings of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

On one show, her guests included Leah Remini, star of “King of Queens” and a devout Scientologist, who sang the praises of the detox project.

Is there something about appearing on movie and/or tv screens that results in Scientology? I have to say though, I'm not a fan of the "Majority Report", I listened for a bit because some of the guests were interesting, but I got tired of the ranting.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Scientology actively recruits celebrities (and treats them VERY differently than the average-joe members) because having celebrities say you're not a cult is good PR.

Yeah, that sounds logical. But I think I'll stick to my theory that TV and movie cameras emit omnicron radiation that converts the people in front of them to Scientology.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Hmm. If I can get K to have her bachelorette party after the wedding, that should work out great!

Well, then, maybe you should come back in September!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sadly, that's the weekend after this wedding, which is out of town, and I'll still be relatively new at a job (even assuming I get one soon, which I'd better), so I'm thinking two long weekends in a row might be a little much. Go in October instead!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Since I'm having a crappy day otherwise, I thought I'd report that I just had a kick ass lunch. Who knew a box of vacuum-sealed Indian food under the name "Tasty-bite" could be so good?

Those things are great, huh, brenda? Shockingly so.

Question for the group: Is there a good way to make a PERT chart without MS Project software or similar? Or will I just have to draw little boxes in Word. PERT is the one with the little boxes, right?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Just got an e-mail that we're having pictures taken for photo ID badges tomorrow. Whoopee.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

PERT is the one with the little boxes, right?
