{{sarameg}} Sometimes clutches are just crap. I had one car that lost 2 of them. The mechanic started with a "ever drive a standard, lady" attitude, then changed his tune and bitched up a storm about what a shit clutch it was.

I hear that Paris Hilton is having her birthday bash this weekend in Vegas.

There is some NBA/Celeb type thing in Vegas that is on my tv at the moment. The boys tried to get me to look at CarrotTop playing basketball. I refused. Dude that plays Turk is playing too.

eta: What Jesse said about airport rentals. I've always found them the best deal.

Yeah, I'm getting anything from $18-30 base quoted online from the places nearby (and I've got rental coverage on my credit card, so I can waive a lot of the add ons.) I'm gonna try the locally owned one first because they claim to do free acquisition/de-acquisition service and that would be such a relief.

This was just in Salon. It's a freaky animation of Nicole Richie wasting away.

I think the other two (Kate Bosworth and Christina Ricci) are even freakier.

Christina actually looks good skinnier (at her best midway through the transform), but I wonder where her tits went.

Yes. This. When we bought our last manual transmission car, a friend kept telling me I'd have to replace the clutch at some point. Clutches can just go bad.

Can't wait to see the drunken photos on The Superficial.

Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. I can't imagine being perfectly tiny and adorable and then letting yourself waste away like that. When your sternum looks like a xylophone, you've got a problem.

What should I do tonight?

It's the collarbones you could hook your finger under that freak me out.

What should I do tonight?

Something fun that I can enjoy vicariously. I'm watching Cars for the fourth time tonight and getting ready to put the kids to bed. DH was supposed to take the kids to the relatives' to visit and give me a weekend on my own but it got cancelled due to illness (theirs, not ours). My dreams of a weekend alone were shattered.

We were talking about the model thing at work today, and my already-thin coworker was talking about how she used to model, and was 113 lbs. at 5'9", and they wanted her to be thinner. Craziness. She was also saying she's currently just under the 18 BMI now, heavier than when she was "heavy" for a model. So the whole thing is nuts.
