Just for fun, here's a "blind item" I just came across that is supposedly about someone we all love (in whitefont at the end):

This is a B lister. I almost think of our actress as the epitome of a B lister. She has done television and films and is probably more of a B lister for the television, but she does have some great film roles. Anyway, this week at Sundance. Oh, I guess that will narrow it down some huh? At Sundance this week, our actress was walking down the street and spotted a teenage girl who was sitting on a backpack, shivering and didn't have anything on but a sweater and jeans even though it was after dark and well below freezing. Turns out the girl had come out to Park City to hang out with a guy she barely knew but he blew her off for some other girl, so she had no room and no place to stay and didn't have the money to change her return airline ticket which was for three days in the future. Our actress didn't really believe the girl at first but then the girl showed her the airline ticket and her i.d. That was enough for our actress. She took the girl to a store and bought her a jacket, and then took her back to her hotel for food and fun. The actress called some friends over to cheer the girl up, got her some dinner and then had everyone take turns calling the jerk who traded her for another girl. Our actress changed the return date on the ticket, paying for the change and even upgraded the girl to first class for the flight home. She let the girl spend the night, got her out to the airport the next morning and gave her a few hundred bucks.

Actually, probably anything by The Smiths would work.

See, I find The Smiths cheering, because I realize my life is not as bad as a Smiths song, and I start giggling.

This is why I already have playlists called "Everybody Hurts" and "The Black Parade"...

Great blind item! I guessed right, but I guess it's not that hard.

Argh! I'm apparently not getting paypal notifications on the b.org account. So what I mean to say is, thanks, y'all! I will figure out what's going on and thank people individually, too.

I was starting to worry, but of course I shouldn't have!

Jesse, PayPal hasn't notified me of anything for weeks. Maddening, isn't it?

Yeah, I didn't get notified that I sent payment.

"Five Pound Box Of Money" is really one of my favorite Chirstmas songs.

Annoying! Those emails are like half of my record-keeping system!

DH took the kids off to go bulk buying and I'm frittering away here online. I should shower or go grab dinner or something, shouldn't I?

I think my motivation is hibernating.
