Rosie fucking O’Donnell is actually doing that. And they actually took that picture. And I actually threw up in my mouth a little bit when I looked at her thighs.
Okay, the throwing up part was a slight exaggeration.
But don’t be fooled. Rosie O’Donnell is taking Riding the Bus with My Sister seriously:
Well, when [director] Anjelica [Huston] and I first spoke on the phone, she said she wanted the film to be really gritty, very realistic. I remember her saying, “I want you to be able to feel and touch and smell the people on the bus when you’re watching this movie.” She wasn’t interested in a sanitized version, and I was thrilled with that.
Then she said, “I’m thinking no makeup for you.” I said, “Great.” Then she asked, “Would you cut your hair?” And I said, “Yes, whatever your vision is, I’ll do it.”
Rosie with no makeup? In that outfit? I smell E-M-M-Y! Sunday, May 1st: mark them calendars.

Joey from Straight Bangin’ puts to blog a sentiment I’ve held for years: Chicks smoking is yucky. It’s a definite black mark in my book, roughly equivalent in severity to bad teeth. That’s saying something, eh? Hey, I suppose the ladies just want to stay thin, but if you’re trying to keep the weight off, do it like Paris does: take up coke.

As a rule, I dislike memes, but a few days past I came up with a good idea for one: 10 Very Minor Things You Wish About Your Day. Almost certainly someone’s already done this or a similar list, but I don’t care; since I don’t pay attention to memes, I don’t know what’s been done!

Two weeks ago, I posted a rather innocuous little entry entitled “More of the usual academic hypocrisy on ‘free speech’.” I criticized Northwestern Professor Michele Weldon’s role in a minor brouhaha at the Medill School of Journalism over student comments on The Facebook, wherein Weldon claimed she was “shocked and dumbfounded” at supposedly offensive comments made by Medill students on the website. (For those not familiar with thefacebook.com, it’s the college equivalent of Friendster—a social networking site with a simple idea that’s spread like wildfire.)
Since my post on the subject, I’ve become entangled in some lovely blog drama. (No folks, this isn’t new for me.) Prof. Weldon took exception to my article and called my voicemail, leaving me a vaguely threatening message. Needless to say, I got excited. It’s not every day a professor who’s been on Oprah threatens you!

It’s in the mid-50s outside, which is higher than the forecast said it would be. That prompted me to check out the current conditions on three different weather websites, leading to these results:
Using my internal, biological thermoter, I can tell you that Weather Underground is definitely the closest. I’ve noticed this before, too; they’re the best.

So maybe my silly SEO tinkering is paying off after all. It’s nice to see that Google is showering the jotsheet with some of its flighty affections.

My recent move from underscores to hyphens in filenames has caused me a couple of unexpected headaches, but it’s also taught me some interesting things about Apache’s mod_rewrite. I’ve been buried in .htaccess for hours lately, playing detective to strange behavior on my site. My most recent discovery involves the limitations of Apache’s implementation of regular expressions in mod_rewrite. I think the developers were trying to prevent wannabes like me from screwing up their own sites and consuming server resources, but it’s caused me some frustration.
