wow... thank god all my tattoos are real, and i got them on purpose!
A 3-YEAR-OLD HAD AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO HENNA, AND NOW HE HAS A PERMANENT TATTOO . . . OF BART SIMPSON:
A few months ago, three-year-old Vinnie England of Southmead, United Kindom (--about 100 miles west of London), was on vacation with his family in Spain when his parents agreed to let him get a temporary henna tattoo . . . of Bart Simpson.
--Unfortunately, the henna used to create Vinnie's tattoo had been mixed with a cheap hair dye chemical called PPD . . . and he had a nasty reaction which caused the tattoo to become PERMANENT. (Sky News)
last week, i was on "vacation". it's in quotes because thanks to senor ike, the vacation part of my week off was cancelled. i had a fabulous week in new orleans planned, complete with stops outside of the house brad pitt and angelina jolie live, along with what is supposed to be the most haunted place in new orleans. oh, i had even booked myself a room in a "haunted" hotel. worst part? after we had to cancel, i figured we could at least get a little spook from grabbing lunch downtown at the spaghetti warehouse (the place always creeps me out), but nope. it was closed. wtf!
on the upside, i saw a LOT of movies last week. 'ghost town' and 'burn after reading' are both hilarious. they managed to make brad pitt look less that do-able. 'the women' was ok. nothing to write home about. so there ya go... the worlds shortest movie reviews.
Really? I can't believe it's friday. Talk about a short work week! Monday was a holiday, and I was being tortured by a dentist on Tuesday. Yet strangely, I'm SO ready to get out of here and have a nice cocktail somewhere quiet and dark!
If you're staying in tonight, here's something you might want to check out:
I'm totally into all of the political hoopla that's going on. Feel free to blame it on me being a crazy, hotheaded Aquarius. Whatever. That's fine. Anyways... I've got a plethora of links that I've been sending to friends. Most of them crack me up, some are serious. If you've got an interest, try going HERE, HERE and HERE. And if you like Jon Stewart, you must go HERE. And there there's this little one HERE. And beware... I'm a little blue dot in this big red state, so if ye be offended by such things, don't click on the links!
And finally, one last thing for you to check out tonight (or in a rerun sometime). (Thanks to Jezebel.com!)
The season premiere of DogTown, a National Geographic Channel show that follows rescued dogs at the largest no-kill animal facility in the U.S. by the same name, will have an extra-special focus tonight: The pit bulls rescued from Atlanta Falcons quarterback and kennel/dog fight ring operator, Michael Vick. The episode focuses 4 of the 50 dogs that were rescued from Vick's compound, some of which have a great fear of humans, intense scarring, and physical illnesses due to abuse. The show follows the dogs' healing process and underscores the fact that pit bulls are affectionate when not in the hands of psychotic boneheads.
i saw this video posted on someone's blog earlier today.... and since we're in the middle of the democratic national convention (barack accepts the nomination tonight!) it seemed appropriate to post it. enjoy. oh, and if you don't know the definition of the word "suffrage", might i suggest dicionary.com before you watch? ;)
