Life's a Laugh and Death's a Joke, It's True
I saw Spamalot
this weekend. I've been going to Broadway
my whole life, and I don't remember laughing this
hard at any show (like laugh-until-my-stomach-hurt
kind of laughter.) My favorite song was "Always
Look on the Bright Side," which tells us to shrug
off the things that make us cry because it's
probably not worth it. At all. Not one bit. Check
out the lyrics here,
and promise me you won't take today too seriously!

dials K-Fed, and he totally wants no part of

officially rock bottom. Get it together in '08, girl.
Please. (Page Six)

How To Delete A Memory
One of the reasons I use Flickr to
show off my latest photos is that it takes
nanoseconds to remove what I don't want to see
anymore. Plus, as you can see above, it asks nicely.
