1. Joey Lawrence is in a commercial saying "whoa" and all is retro with the world.
2. I have the fever. The Olympic Fever. Georg Hackl let me down, Pommodoro Volante didn't and I hope he meets Sasha Cohen, cross-country skiing looks just short of impossible, I really think I could ski jump if given the chance, Apollo Ohno is a jackass, I feel bad for Michelle Kwan despite some people's belief that figure skating isn't a sport, I've been trying to hold the speed skating stance for a full minute each day and it's tough, I think the Burton snowboard uniforms look like a cross between pimp wear and prison uniforms and are unflattering to whitey, and I can never get enough Bob Costas.
3. There is a prairie dog vacuum that sucks the little friends up into a truck so they can be relocated. Honest.
4. Missed "Bleak House" again last night and suppose I'll just have to suck it up and read the book.
5. I'd like to start a "Send Amy To Thailand" fund so I could go see the Asian elephants and help them reclaim their habitat, I'd like to start a "Send Amy To Nursing School" fund so I could join Doctors Without Borders, I'd like to start a "Send Amy To Indonesia" fund so I could work in orangutan conservation, but I'm afraid I'd be too heartbroken as a result of my efforts.
6. If I don't get a stove soon, I might go ape. I just want to make some pasta, for chrissakes! Is that too ridiculous a request!?!
7. Alternately too busy and too lazy to actually post anything worth a damn, but I'll say this - Marc Jacobs is mind-boggingly overrated.

Do the prairie dogs say "whee" and giggle, like the little bunnies in "Curse of the Were-Rabbit?" 'Cause that's what makes it seem especially humane.
Bleak House will be released on DVD soon. The library already has it listed for anyone who wants to reserve it.
Who is Marc Jacobs?
Green Man,
They do squeal, but not in a "whee" kinda way. They smack into a mattress and then are "a little dazed". Apparently, they recover in minutes and are okay with being moved. Until they find out their little prairie dog furniture is not soon to follow. Then they're pissed.
Kim,
He's a fashion designer.
A colleague at Barnes and Noble told me that anyone who's been watching 'Bleak House' on TV and comes in looking for the dvd should instead purchase the superior version put out by the BBC a few years ago. For the low low price of $14.99. Anyway, that's what I'm told.
Sorry, I own stock in the company.
Good tip, dob, for both Kim and I. I think I'm going to go for the book version as I'm really a Dickens dork and just haven't gotten to that one yet. Watching (and missing) it has made me want to pick up the tome and settle in on a rainy afternoon.
