I wish I had something more substantial to share, but I'm hoping if I purge my current superficialities here, I can move on. First, The Pilot got me the soundtrack to Tenacious D, the Pick of Destiny. I enjoyed the movie (which you can't take too seriously or soberly) and love the lyrics. We have listened to it over and over.
Here's a little clip from the movie, with Jack Black and Kyle Gass in JB's dream, singing a song called Master Exploder. Why do I love Jack Black so? I think it's because of his infectious creativity, bravery and silliness. He seems so completely un-self-conscious. I would love to be that free! And, Dude, the eyeliner:
Also, I got hooked on Grey''s Anatomy the past few months, renting the disks for the first two seasons. I started watching because three people in a row told me I looked like Ellen Pompeo and I had no idea who she was and wanted to see. She's this tiny little thing, but I do like her character and I got sucked into that show. (And I will be forever grateful to Ms. Pompeo for replacing Cheers-era Kirstie Alley as the person I always used to remind others of!)
The other thoughts preoccupying my mind include laser hair removal, eyebrow waxing and a cool combo hair dryer-brush I just got. Yeah. Vapid is as vapid does, Forrest. We'll save the world tomorrow, okay? But while rocking out, with cute hair.
Dear Aunty Jayne, I have heard so much about you and wanted to let you know that I will be making my grand appearance in July. Hope to meet you soon!

Holy crap, Nino! You and Erin both?! Oh my God! (And you tell me on my blog, you sick bitch ; )) You will be the best mommy ever and you and T have an obligation to breed those gorgeous genes of yours. I will talk with you soon!!

So, I have to tell you this because I think it's really hilariously coincidental-timing: I watched Hotel Rwanda the other day while locked in my home for a week with strep, bronchitis, and the flu (yes, all at the same time) and it made me cry for about an hour. While sobbing, I called a friend to berate myself for never managing to do enough to save the world but always having 18 bottles of shampoo because my hair REALLY IS THAT IMPORTANT.
Why can't I just come to terms that I can still save the world WHILE having perfectly-conditioned hair?!

A friend of mine introduced me to Tenacious D in college. I forgot the name of the song but ever since then I've thought they were the weirdest band ever, completely unself-conscious ( sp?) and original, but still weird.
I love Grey's Anatomy too, although my friend who is currently in medical school told me that it was nowhere near that exciting and the doctors are more likely to be nicknamed McOldie instead of McSteamy.

I just remembered the name of the song by Tenaciou D. It's "Fuck her Gently". If you haven't heard it, you don't know what our missing.
