I don't want to offend any of my friends who watch reality shows -- actually, all of my friends watch reality shows! -- but I agree with so much of what is said in this article that I just had to link to it. Particularly of interest to me: what he says about the selling of our youth culture, the limits of acceptability and this week's rockin' Buffy episode. Believe me, it all makes sense. To me, at least. Please, no flames - this is not a condemnation of the people who watch any of these shows but of the corprate culture that sells them.

On a lighter note, Mommy goes to Catholic High School - my, how time flies!

Today's MommyPic



<Soon after being adopted, my mother was on a boat
with her new parents and headed for Ireland,
where she lived for about a year, I believe.>

I am such an unlucky person that something this mundane is indeed an aberration and should be noted: I looked under the cap and if I buy one 20 oz Diet Pepsi I can get one free!! Woohoo!

Today is my mother's birthday and as I went looking for a picture of her to post, I found some really good old ones. So, in honor of her birthday, you will all be treated to a chronicle of her life (kinda), up until her wedding day 36 years ago. Ooooh!

Happy Birthday, Mommy!!

Very cool, even if I feel like I'm breaking the law. I just finished reading about the backstage demands of Britney Spears and the rock band Live, as well as the police report for an assault charge against the lead singer of Creed and the sentencing transcript for Tony Sirico, the actor who plays Paulie Walnuts on The Sopranos (Sirico did time years ago). Their archive has loads of stuff, and I have a feeling I have found a new way to completely waste my time. And I feel a bit dirty now, but I'm sure that will pass soon enough.
