Frannie Gaga
Suit wearing author Fran Leibowitz trades place with flavor-of-the-week pop diva Lady Gaga for 48 hours. They must dress as the other. Act like the other. Cary out their lives as if they were (gulp) each other.

just for the record...

I've always thought Kirk Cameron was an asshole. Now we have good reason to hate him more...

they're coming to get you pete...

George A Romero has returned to the director's chair for yet another zombie tale. This isn't it, but it's equally enjoyable...

Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown
Due to a Few Too Many Cups of Espresso...

Early Christmakah present request here folks.

A six piece espresso set designed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar.

Not since David Lynch started selling his own brand of coffee have I been this buzzed.

meet pete...

A couple weeks ago, I adopted an amazing little kitty named Pete from the good folks of All About Spay & Neuter.

Loyal visitors to Beware of the Blog will no doubt remember that I already have two cats. Trust me, this was something I kept saying to the shelter folks at the adoption drive, to which they would always reply "just two?"

So, I think that I've officially just become one of those crazy cat people. Not cat hoarder, mind you, but cat person. Besides, my lovely female cat Heather Locklear, so named because she's beautiful, a complete bitch and makes special guest appearances, is never to be seen. It's really like having two cats.

Until you have to feed the three of them their wet food meal at night. Then it's, as Craig says, "way too much cat."

In any case, Pete's awesome. How can you not love this little dude?
