Poor Poor Britney

I think Britney really needs to hire a new PR and management team. Do we all concur here? I mean the Matt Lauer interview was Britney on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown...She was in full trailer park glory. And this - a la Demi. No one can do it better than Demi...and certainly not this Louisiana Sugar Pie. What's worse is that her team is trying to trick us with the black hair into thinking she's smarter, less emotional, more grown up than she actually is. Pobrecita. Signing off.

More on Star Jones

Some Updates

I've quit smoking. It's been seven days. The urge to eat hits me at about midnight - of course, I also haven't had a good night's sleep in seven days.

That quick trip to San Diego last week also completely fucked me up. The amount of travel I did in 48 hours was redick.

So I am not thinking clearly, and I'm working at a snail's pace. I have several deadlines that are like hundred pound weights on my shoulders. I can't seem to process my thoughts fast enough, talk fast enough, type fast enough...

On a good note, Danny was up this weekend and we had a wonderful time. He arrived on at about 1:30 am Saturday morning. We hit Taughonack that day for some sun and swimming. After a few hours of sun, we went to Purity for some icecream. We came home and napped with The Boys in bed. Finally, at about 9pm we made it out to dinner at Maxi's for some raw oysters and a fried oyster po'boy with cajun fries. I just love that place.

I watched Capote this weekend. Philip Seymour Hoffman actually has an incredible profile. He was brilliant, but the characters spoke in such low tones I felt like I was straining to hear for the two hours. We got into bed with Good Night, and Good Luck on Saturday, but I fell asleep, woke up at the end and was up for the next few hours watching Three's Company downstairs. Also gorged on some Strawberry Rhubarb pie.

Last night I popped in a film by Don Roos (Bounce, The opposite of Sex) called Happy Endings with my favorite indie girl Maggie Gyllenhall (sp?). Overall, I just didn't like the film...partially because the characters were so miserable. Y'know Lisa Kudrow is really not a bad actress, but she picks the worst roles. All of her characters are either annoying or plain dysfunctional.

That's it for now...Signing off.

P.S. Amy got a job as a camp counselor! She started this morning.

Too Legit To Quit

Suddenly the song Too Legit just came into my head.

What's wrong with me?

So last night Emily and I hit Olivia's for burgers...with a slice of bacon, melted gorgonzola and a side of herbed french fries. I also celebrated (with an Ithacacosmopolitan) putting to bed a 40+ page year in review that I've been working on for 3 months. I also finished the copy on a real estate Web site. The cosmo was too strong and it made my ears pop.

After our lovely and fattening meal, we hit the bakery at Wegman's for some dessert. Emily needs to eat something sweet after dinner. Much of the time I do too. As we indulged in our comfort food, Emily introduced me So You Think You Can Dance. I'm officially hooked. That female judge they had last night (i believe the judges alternate) is botoxed to high heaven, and any time she opened her mouth the hairs on my arms stood up.

So I've decided that I miss Dan terribly. His first assignment is in a town in NJ, which means he's commuting 2 hours each morning from downtown. It sucks. By the time he gets home, he's thoroughly exhausted.

We're supposed to have a hot weekend, and I've got plans to meet some of Dan's family in Owego on Saturday for the Strawberry Festival.

Today I need to make a large dent in the copy of medical Web site I'm working on; so I need to focus now. No more dilly-dallying this morning. Signing off.

Perez on Britney

Click on title of post. Finally, someone called a spade a spade. Britney was hoooottt for a while, but lately I mean she's looking straight outta the trailer park.

Also, can Mariah Carey get a new stylist. Puh-leeze...
