I haven't disappeared off the face of the earth. Turns out having a baby just eats up all of your time, so I haven't been able to get the new blog up and running as quickly as I'd wanted to. It's still being rennovated though, so hopefully it won't be too much longer.
You will have a bit to read to catch up on though, when I finally get it up and running and presentable.
I'll be moving shortly. Not me personally; the blog. I'll be moving the blog to a new home. It's terribly exciting. Stay tuned.
I was wrong in my last post. Apparently the iPod being given to Katie Holmes isn't songs 'the Tyrant' picked, but 300 of Katie's favourites. Oops, my bad.
Apparently I was also wrong about the whole silent birth thing, too. Perhaps I should do more research instead of just believing all the latest msn gossip?
If you're not up on your "Dianetics," this is what L. Ron Hubbard says about keeping mum while squeezing out a human being: "Maintain silence in the presence of birth to save the sanity of the mother and the child and safeguard the home to which they will go."
I'm sorry... being quiet to save the sanity of the mother?! TO SAVE THE SANITY?! TO SAVE THE SANITY??? Nevermind that keeping quiet will likely cause pieces of your brain to start popping and you'll die of a brain hemorrage; but the upside to that would be not having to worry about saving the sanity.
Apparently Ryan Reynolds has his own blog. I think it's utter codswallop myself. This reminds me of the "Pitt Stop" which was a fake blog from years ago, supposedly from Brad Pitt. Christ it was funny, but of course Brad's army of lawyers decided that they were going to stop the guy from writing "Pitt Stop" because they felt the Bradster was being "slandered" or some such nonsense. So the site was pulled down, and I have never fully recovered.
In other, slightly more serious news, I know I'm not the only one who's desperately praying to Aliens to come save Kaite Holmes from the evil clutches of Tommy "the Tyrant" Cruise. (I just made that up, sounds clever doesn't it?) The latest and greatest is apparently he's just bought her an iPod and put calming music on it, so she has that to listen to as she's silently giving birth. (The Sun Online News Article)
Aside from the initial, "YOU HAVE TO BE JOKING!" cry, I honestly wonder what he's going to do if her voice does raise beyond a whisper, particularly at the crowning. (I'm assuming since she's not allowed to be loud, thus "traumatizing" the baby, she's also not allowed to have an epidural) They don't call it the Ring of Fire for nothing! It hurts like a ... like a ... it hurts alot. And how sweet of Tommy "the Tyrant" to already preload the stylish iPod with music of his choice, for his prisoner, for the birth of their his baby.
So I have a question... Is the baby allowed to cry and make noise? And how is that going to affect poor Katie's nerves? Oh right, right...they'll hire a nanny. Or...cheaper still, they can stock up on Whiskey, just like in the good ol' days - yeeeha!
Even though I probably sound it, I'm not jealous in the slightest that these celebs can hire people to raise their children. I will, however, admit to being INSANELY jealous because these same celebs have maids and servants and people to pick up after them; and I am supremely lazy.
We've recently been on a movie-watching kick for the past week and a half. We watched Flight Plan, with Jodie Foster and I have to say it was a really good movie! I was impressed, as I generally don't care for Jodie Foster movies.
D watched The Exorcism of Emily Rose but I didn't, since I thought it was going to be a scary movie. (Ever since being pregnant I can't watch scary movies for some reason) Turns out it wasn't so much, but he really liked it. Makes me want to rent it again and watch it myself.
More recently, as in today, I watched Red Eye which I found to be absolutely hilarious, though I'm sure that wasn't the intention of the people who wrote it. Actually I think it's supposed to be more of a thriller/drama thing, but at the end where she smacks his hand with the hockey bat? Priceless! Nearly wet myself laughing.
Tonight we're supposed to be watching The Village. I've never seen it because it didn't seem like something I'd be particularly interested in, even though I've heard such good things about it. I'm really hoping it doesn't turn out to be like the ulta loser Blair Witch.
One of my best friends sent me a package last week, and emailed me to tell me to be on the look out for it. She wouldn't tell me what it was, only that it was a surprise, and hoped I loved it.
Well. It came today. And it was a surprise. And I LOVE it!!
Anyone recommend a good counter? I'm using sitemeter and I think it mostly blows. I'd like a good counter that also tracks keyword searches - unfortunately blogpatrol doesn't keep the keyword searches longer than a week or so.
