Gay Marriage & Salmon?


Sorry for the lack of an update yesterday. It was pretty hectic with John Kerry in town & all. We went to go see him at the waterfront int Portland, OR and were treated to a sunburn, dehydration & seeing Congresswoman Darlene Hooley make an ass of herself trying to get the crowd riled up with an off-key version of "Go Johnny Go!"

To see Darlene Hooley's natural state, click here.

After seeing several other Oregon politicians get their much-needed facetime ($100,000+ salary & you still want to talk to people?) it was time for Kerry to come up to the stage, which of course meant several other people had to talk first. Not quite sure where John Edwards was, but Teresa (Kerry's wife) delivered a solid speech that was frankly a little more inspiring than Kerry's re-hashed version of his DNC acceptance speech. It was still good to see him up there, but some new material would have been great. maybe something about gay marriages or salmon.

Here are some other pictures from the rally. If you want more, click here.


The man himself...


The giant banners put up by Kerry's people...these things were seriously huge.



Leonardo Di Caprio...the king of the world--or at least biodeisel.

Gmail

In case you've been living under a rock (entirely possible in this day & age) Gmail is Google's 1Gigabyte e-mail service that's currently in it's beta phase before awaiting public release. If you have a bunch of junk in your house that you need to get rid of, this site is basically like eBay for GMail accounts, except it costs nothing to get an invite from somebody whose got one to give & wants something in return (like the junk you want to throw out).



In addition to this, GMail is creepy.

Here's the wicked shot of the day, taken by yours truly:




I'm out for the day & part of tommorrow for a friend's b-day. Enjoy the weekend & the olympics!


Gimme my trans-fats!

In case you've been living under a rock (or in Canada possibly), the low-carb thing has hit what is *hopefully* it's critical mass in the continental U.S. During a recent trip to Quizno's I was searching for something to accompany my delicious toasted sandwich when I stumbled on these.


It's like paper, with salt and happiness sprinked on top!


I wasn't quite sure there was anything wrong with the original Doritos (besides their mind-boggling amount of things that are horrible for you), but Frito-Lay took it upon themselves to cash in on the low carb movement with a product that screams "Might Cause Anal Leakage." Well, not actually, but if Olestra tasted as bad as these new chips taste, WoW chips might have died off a little faster than they did originally.

I think the real question is: is being healthier worth giving up eating things that taste like food?

Kerry me home

In other news, John Kerry is coming here (Portland, OR) tommorrow & I'm going to try & hit it up if possible. I'm interested to see if he's cool enough to rock shorts and some Birkenstocks because it's going to be H-O-T! If you live in the Portland area and are confused about where to go & where to get these illustrious tickets click here....they're free (but you'll probably get all that great democratic Spam!) I really don't mean to slam the democratic party, but they're definitely not perfect.

Bon Jovi & Leonardo Di Caprio are also hanging out in P-town, no doubt to pick up these Portland girls and re-amplify their careers in the (503).

Speaking of celebrities hanging out in Portland, it reminds me of when Benicio Del Turo was hanging out in town during the shooting of "The Hunted" (a real waste of 92 minutes). Chelsea Cain wrote a real funny column about it, which you can find here. I used to be tight with Chelsea back in grade school when she came to visit our English Class...little did I know how funny her writing was, because I think she came in to tell us about grammer. She wrote (and continues to write) some hilarious stuff for the Portland Mercury & Willy Week, which is worth checking out.

"Do you like my stethescope and high neckline?"

I'll leave you with that image in your heads ;)

Oh ye of little faith!

Home of the daily entertainment fix you deserve, welcome to a little bit of everything...your source for things in this world that need a little more attention than they get from other sites.

There's a bunch of stuff on the burner today:

• From Engadget.com, this guy rigged up a cigarette lighter to his PC...I mean obviously lighters and matches are too complicated.

• From Craigslist.org, the usual midget sighting.

• Also from Craigslist.org, if you are Latino, would like a little bit of extra money and live in the L.A. area (good luck finding that...) you can always try out for these roles:

HISPANIC GANGSTERS:
Caesar: 25-30, Classic bully, street tough, controlling.
Spider: 18-22, wiry sycophant, feral.
Santos: 25-30, narcissistic, muscled.

• Freedom after two years attached to somebody else would probably be nice. Just ask these guys.

• I don't care if it's really his name, the BBC should know better than to do a title like this.
  

That's it for today, more tommorrow. -J
