We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

She's a DOG, you freak.

Yeah. That's pretty cruel to bring your dog in on your issues.

Jennifer Aniston is an idiot. How much water do you think she uses to keep her (I'm assuming) gargantuan yard green? Not to mention she's the new spokeswoman for a bottled water company. You've got people like Angelina going to Africa and dedicating time and money to causes. Jen brushes her teeth in the shower - that's her idea of conservation. Sorry, but this kind of crap just annoys me. Kinda like Vanity Fair's yearly "green" issue, in which we hear how Julia Roberts is such an environmentalist because she drives a Prius. Gag.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Things from the Daily Mail that I can't wrap my brain around:

Hey, you probably pay more attention than I do--what's your take on the story that they closed down Namibia so Angelina could have Shiloh in peace?

Hm, I never heard that. It probably happened. I don't think Angelina is a saint or anything, it's just that the Aniston thing seems like such a ploy to be taken seriously or something. Plus she has just always irritated me.

Heh. I hear you.

My sister was grilling me for my Brangelina in Namibia opinion, and I failed to have enough of one. She's pissed at the Pitts, I'm reeling at the idea that the government of any country would roll over like that for movie actors.

If that's how it went down, I think the govt. probably did it because the Pitt clan being there brings such publicity to the region. Good for Namibia. From what I remember seeing, it wasn't them requesting it - it was the govt. putting the word out. "Hey, we're celebrity friendly! Come have your babies here in peace!"

That's what bothers me, honestly. I just can't see that particularly playing out in the interests of the average Namibian.

Yeah, I'm not so sure it's good for Namibia, just that I could see the govt. thinking it is. Also, if I'm remembering correctly, it was the invasion of the paparazzi from other places (not Namibia) that the govt. was reacting to. Meaning, not so good for Namibia to have all these fools running wild. However, they were spending money there on food, lodging, etc. I feel like I'm arguing with myself. I hate when that happens.

At least you get to win.

Unfortunately you also get to lose.

My sister's super-sensitive about the rolling over and begging for the US because we generate so much of our foreign exchange from tourism, and it can be hard to walk the line.
