Live long and lay back

Shamelessly ripped from Merlin.

A life too short and a new word

I just got back from work and found out from Todd that Brittany Murphy has died. Not one of my favorite actresses, but she was in Clueless which is one of my all time favorite movies. Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, the guy that played Carla's husband on Cheers and Turk from Scrubs. I guess I should also mention Stacey Dash who played a teenager in the movie despite being 29. Can't go wrong. My first thought after hearing heart attack at 32 was cocaine. Regardless of the cause, it seems that Hollywood is continuing its run of chewing up people and spitting them out. Once again Dave Chapelle's choice to get the hell out of dodge seems like the reasonable one.

UPDATE: forgot the word: decedent.

Have yourself a wicked hahdcore Christmas

Some strong language. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

The garlic's coming along

Like the Pope?

I have a friend who has called to mind, not to my mind mind you, Fisk and Armitage, and who also, in spite of being from one of the whitest places in America, loves him some Tupac. Apparently the Holy Father, or more likely, his minions, have a similar bent.

Wish I could've gone to the football game.
