she went straight to the top of his laminated list

Sleep with Russell Brand. That will show him.

Yeah!

...wait. I think Russell Brand is kind of creepy. Dang.

I think Russell Brand might not bathe. And not in a Colin Farrell kind of way.

I watched three episodes of Keeping up with the Kardashians while on a cross-country flight once. It was surprisingly amusing, but I was in the middle section of a two-aisle flight from ATL to Salt Lake.

Tom - that is sad.

I have to say, I don't think of myself as having much of a life but it's got to be better than those people's.

So sad.

OK, maybe not THAT sad.

I will continue to offer Colin Farrell my shower whenever he needs it.

I didn't even know Katy Perry and Russell Brand were married. Perhaps I knew for about five seconds when it happened, but then, um, I just carried on living my life.

...wait. I think Russell Brand is kind of creepy. Dang.

Sleep with Katy Perry. THAT will show him.

All I ever remember about Katy Perry is that she has a cat named Kitty Purry. Since I love animals and puns, it makes me like her.

4'10" or 4'11", I think. I remember noting that she was about the same height as me

Jesus. Am I supposed to weigh 98 pounds? Because that's ridic for my frame, I think.

I remember seeing the Kim Kardashian sex vid in the Video Hut in Los Feliz about 7 or 8 years ago, I think. We're in Little Armenia, which made it an even bigger deal.

People need to talk about celebrities that I have opinions about. I've got nothin' here.

I almost bought a Nissan Leaf today. My workplace was chosen as a hub, which means that they are going to install a charging station, and we would get financial incentives for getting them (over and above the $7,500 tax credit). My boss got one, and a guy who works down the hall from me got one, and my landlords even agreed to have an electrician come in and install an outdoor outlet so that I could charge it at home (because they are AWESOME), but I balked at the last minute. Going from not having a car for 12 years to owning a nearly $40,000 car (and I would have had to decide by tomorrow) was too much of a leap. I think I'm going to start smaller, with a used car, maybe. It did make it clear that I'm ready to get a car, though. Just not that car.

Also this week, I fostered a blind standard poodle that had been found on the side of the road near here. I realized over the next couple of days that I wasn't ready to have a dog long-term, that I'm still grieving over Lulu big-time. So I emailed a friend of mine who volunteers with Carolina Poodle Rescue, and she called me back within minutes, saying that they would take him, that they would find him a home, that they had a foster home for him, and that the foster person would come get him that afternoon. Also, they had seen my craigslist ad that I had put up the night before, and to take it down. WHOA. THEN, they called back less than an hour later to say that they had found the owner! Turns out that she had put a craigslist ad up, but in the county adjacent to mine, since she's on the border, and so we hadn't seen each other's ads. Also, the dog (Alex) has a severe heart murmur, and had now gone several days without his meds. He had wandered off her property out in the country when she was gathering wood. So she came and got him that night!

So: Carolina Poodle Rescue are superheroes. I made a big donation. And if and when I'm ready to get another dog, I'll know where to turn. Also, my impulsive decision to foster that dog highlighted that I'm not ready right now, which is good to know, and also got him reunited with his (loving, if careless) owner faster, and back on his heart meds. Yay.

Also, I broke up with my therapist.

It's been an eventful week.

Holy Cow, Amyth, that is quite a week.
