Hottie Odds and Ends

Have I told you yet that I can’t stand Britney Spears, but her annoyingly catchy songs get stuck in my head and I can’t get rid of them?

Now I’ve got her annoying video ‘Everytime’ stuck in my head. Is it supposed to be deep? That her death resulted in a birth? She doesn’t get reincarnated into a tree slug? How evil the media is? The stresses she faces being in front of cameras all the time?

Yet it plays over and over in my head.

Why? Because that hunk of hunks, Stephen Dorff is in it. Who? Come on, you know him. Blade? S.F.W.? Forget it. He’s just hot. And he’s hot in this video. Though a little too tan for my taste. And that shirtless scene shows me that although his career has gone to the dogs since he’s starring in Britney videos, he still cares about his body. Stephen, I miss you. Please make a movie that I would pay to watch.

He kinda reminds me of another hottie, Christian Kane, who plays Lindsay on Angel. Yum Yum. Sucks that the show only has two episodes left! The WB is going down!

Troy will be premiering in a couple weeks, and it has several hotties - Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, and Orlando Bloom. Troy is one of my favorite stories from ancient times. But as excited as I am to see Brad in it, I hope they don’t focus on Achilles as much as they do in the ads. He wasn’t the battle of Troy. It was an immense cast of characters that made up that story. My biggest disappointment, my favorite character from all of Greek mythology isn’t even in the movie, though she was a princess of Troy - Cassandra, the woman who could see the future but whom no one would believe. Bastards. She’s a great character to throw in there! Just because they banished her to the temple doesn’t mean she can’t be in the movie!

OK….that’s my mini-hottie report for the month.

Haleakala Crater - Maui, HI: March 2004

The Haleakala Crater in Maui creates a very un-Hawaiian landscape with red soil, jagged peaks and lava formations. Almost like being on Mars!

Out-of-Towners

It’s been a busy couple of weeks! As you may know, over the last month or so, I’ve had a whirlwind of out of town guests come in and out. Everyone used my place as launching pad for different activities. My aunt came by, then visited her friends, then my dad stopped by before he went to Vegas and San Diego. Marian and Shannon came by last weekend to check out California. I saw more of SoCal in the last weekend then I have the whole time I’ve been here. I felt like *I* was on vacation last weekend! Dan and Tall Steve also came to join in on the festivities last weekend, and thank God X was open at Magic Mountain, Dan would have set the place on flames! Then we all had a great time at Rick and Lanie’s, playing cards, drinking and laughing a lot.

Last Monday I was invited to dinner with some Canadians that were in town, and I had a fun time just eating and listening to their accents. I was exhausted on Monday!

Then yesterday we went to the National Sports Grill & Bar in Torrance to meet up with Deo, who’s also in town. The place was CRAZY packed with Lakers fans who were watching the game. We were happy in our little corner of the restaurant watching the Cubs play. We were the only TV that wasn’t tuned in to the game. One of the TV’s on our level was tuned into FOX Sports, and the other TV’s were on another channel. It was hilarious to watch the crowd, because the rest of the restaurant had a 3 second delay, and the group at the top level would cheer, then the rest of the restaurant would cheer.

It was great hanging out with Deo again, catching up on everyone at home. We gossiped like old ladies. We also found out some interesting events that happened during our wedding that we didn’t know about! We missed a lot of drama! Too bad Mike couldn’t come, (he’s lived here all this time, but I’ve been too lazy to arrange anything) but hopefully we can all meet up tonight!

Reader Survey

This is the very first yanowhatimean? reader survey. It has been brought to our attention the site is loading a bit slower than usual since we’ve implemented the latest template.

So I had promised an investigation into this matter - is the site loading slower for you? Nothing annoys me more than a slow loading site, but since I’m on DSL, it’s hard for me to test the site speed. Are there any other things that you’re running into on the site that you’d like to improve/change?

We here at yanowhatimean (all one of us) care about giving you the best worktime wasting experience possible, even IF your name is Jones and you’re hated by the wrestling community, race car drivers, pro surfers and many more. Every person counts.

So tell me what you think!

Playing Possum

When Marian and Shannon were here, we drove around a lot. On Friday, we headed out to a club, all dressed up. As we were driving out of my apartment complex, we saw something on the side of the street. A group of girls was heading towards us and pointing at the side of the street. It was a opossum, which had gotten hit by a car and was lying at the side of the road. There was an large amount of blood and it was a pretty grisly scene.

We had to maneuver around it and the girls on the street just stared at it pointing. We were thinking that the girls were debating on moving the carcass out of the way. There was nothing we could do so we left. After the club, we decided to stop by the apartment to get out cameras before heading out to Hollywood for some late night sightseeing.

As we came across where the possum was, we saw that it was moved to the other side of the street. The girls or the apartment security must have dragged or kicked the body to the other side, since there was a messy trail of blood across the street.

We got our stuff, then headed out again. As we were coming across the carcass once again, I thought I saw movement. I stopped the car so the possum was in my lights. Then we all started screaming, ‘It’s still alive!!!’ The poor possum was trying to move, and the only thing it could do was open and close its mouth. It was like it was screaming and there was no sound coming out. We had no idea what to do. And we had figured that the possum had moved itself across the street, trying to find some shelter. We couldn’t do anything for it, so we just left.

But I vowed that if we came back, and it was still alive, I would run over it and put it out of its misery. Of course, I wouldn’t have had the guts to do that, but that’s what I wanted to do. Fortunately, the possum was dead by the time we got back. No movement, no silent screaming, nothing. And the apartment security was kind enough to give the possum’s final resting place some orange cones so no one ran over him.

So rest in peace, little possum. We only had moments together, but I’ll make the sign of the cross in my head each time I pass.

And yes, Fatima, I think it’s the very same possum you saw when you were here. I’m sorry for your loss.
