I'm 97.24 percent sure that Britney and Christina are worthless human beings, but the first one did her fair share of catchy songs before getting knocked up, and the other one had a great voice before she skanked up. Good enough reasons to be popular on the radio.
But for the love of all that is vile and corporate, why do the Black-Eyed Peas and Nickelback continue to release records? Who is buying this crap? Each of their songs is more insipid and tedious than the last. I don't want to look at your humps; I don't want to look at your photograph. A lobotomy with a popsicle stick through the ear would be more enjoyable. Unfortunately, I'd like to keep all of faculties intact, so it's not really an option for me.
What other worthless musical acts can you think of?
Honestly. People do not need to be out at 5am shopping. All those people who work in those stores don't want to be there that early. I glanced through the ads today but nothing really jumped out at me to buy. Sure, tons of stuff is on sale but I don't need to go out tomorrow just to get it.
A hot tip though if you don't have 24 on dvd: Best Buy is going to have Seasons 1-3 on sale for $19.99 a piece until noon on Friday. The only catch is they will have a minimum 20 copies of Season 1 and Season 3 and 10 copies of Season 2.
I have to work at 2pm on Friday so I'm going to sleep in like usual and leave plenty early for work so I can make it there on time through all the traffic. Sometimes working in a shopping center sucks.

From The News & Observer, advice on how to handle a potential Thanksgiving mishap (editor's marks follow):
The Embarrassing Imbiber
Too many families have a member -- or several members -- with a tendency to kick back a few too many drinks shots with before dinner.
And we're not talking apple cider here (Paul! Let's do another one!).
The best way to handle someone with a drinking problem, or anyone prone to unpredictability and picking fights (and sleeping on the bathroom floor), is to assign a handler wrangler.
Pick somebody who understands the situation and who also has diplomatic aplomb slapping skills.
"The best person to designate is the one who tolerates it best says 'Not Me' last," Tessina says. "Ask Tell them, 'Will you keep an eye on Uncle Mike or my ex 'Suck it up, take one for the team and interrupt any bad situations.'"
Peaceful and gentle, lambs have been used in religious imagery for millennia. Lambs are baby sheep, an animal tended by shephards since the dawn of history. As a lamb, you tend to stay together in a flock and graze on grassy land. Lambs don't mind being led and tend not to go off on their own.
It's no secret that recent crops of movies have been sucking long and hard for some time now. I think this upcoming movie season will help to slowly turn things around, starting with Harry IV. Here's my Winter 2005 must-see list:
The Family Stone: Looks to be a promising light-hearted, mega-cast holiday fare. Yay for Luke Wilson. Match Point: Woody Allen switches themes from neurotic to dramatic, Jew to WASP, and Manhattan to London. Memoirs of a Geisha: Great books usually make awful movies. This could play out like Cold Mountain or The Constant Gardner. Keep your fingers crossed. Munich: I heart Eric Bana and Daniel Craig, but those '70s hair-dos are just offensive. The New World: This ain't your grandma's Pocahontas, kids. Kinda gross that she's 14 and he's old. But. It's Colin Farrell. Syriana: The people who brought you the joys of the crack trade in Traffic are back to do the same with the oil industry. Plus, anything with Jeffrey Wright rocks.
