Is it just me, or is Christina Aguilera just absolutely gorgeous in maternity clothes? Of course, she’s still hot when she’s almost completely naked too…

Wow. I mean, wow. I can’t think of many other pregnant women who would want to take the time to paint themselves up like that.

What do you think? Did they have to use Photoshop extensively on the cover or was she just naturally that beautiful at the shoot?

I apologize for the lack of posts lately.

With the time off to help my mom move across country, to catching up on some very big projects, I just haven’t had too much time lately.

I look forward to the day when I can resume daily blogging on this site, and sitting back in my leather home theater seating to watch a good movie from time to time.

It won’t be too much longer.

I love pens. I collect them. Cheap pens, expensive pens, maybe even your pen. Yeah, I have this weird thing. When I sign for things (like credit card slips, etc) if someone hands me a pen I inevitably start to walk away with it. No I am not trying to steal it. It just happens.

I know, this has nothing to do with celebrities, unless of course one of them handed me a pen in the past, then I am sorry.

Is it just me, or has there been no news about celebrities and drug rehabs this week?

Maybe I have been busy, but I don’t remember hearing any “Britney entered rehab again” or “Lindsay looks good after rehab” comments in the media.

Slow week or did I miss something? Now, now, that doesn’t mean that any of you (celebrities included) need to go out and make news simply because I posted this. You can get past this.

When my sister moved recently, from Las Vegas to Kentucky, she had a hell of a time with the movers. They were nice when it came time to draw up the contract (all 17 pages of it), and they were nice when they took the money for things that the contract said shouldn’t cost money.

But when items arrived broken, those same movers weren’t so nice anymore. Sound familiar? Well, if I ever move again, I am either moving to the big city or to a nice chunk of land with lots and lots of trees out in the middle of nowhere, where even celebrities would be afraid to go.

I would hire New York movers too, because I know they wouldn’t mess with my schtuff either.

When I was younger, some of Stephen King novels and movies used to scare the crud out of me. In fact, I was in my thirties before I could actually sit down and watch some of his films all the way through without being completely scared out of my mind.

I still remember the night I read Cujo. Alone. In the dark. Oh, man. Chills just ran up my spine just thinking about that book. The Shining, Pet Sematary, and Cujo scared me the most. My favorite Stephen King story was The Green Mile. I really liked that one. I think it was my favorite novel as well as movie. Stephen King is one of the few people who can take what they wrote and make it just as poignant (and interesting) in the movie.

Now he has a new movie coming out, called The Mist. I visited the movie website and watched the trailer. Three words. Oh. My. God. The trailer scared me, I can’t even imagine how scary the movie is.

So, what’s in the mist? I guess we’ll have to go to the movie theatre to see, won’t we? The Mist by Stephen King opens on November 21st.

See you there.

One thing I love about my small town bank, is when I walk in the door, I am treated like a celebrity. Everyone knows my name (and no, it’s not because I am infamous or anything), and they treat me like I am one of their biggest depositors.

Recently, I have had a hell of a time with my debit card being compromised, and they have done an outstanding job handling matters for me. I am, however, considering opening a couple of new checking accounts, for the sole purpose of paying bills, etc. This way, the only money available to hackers would be the little that’s left over after paying those bills. WaMu offers free identity theft protection too, which might make things even easier.

Well, Google, in their infinite wisdom, has decided to bitchslap anyone who runs any kind of text link ad or paid posts on their site by knocking their pagerank down, or just killing it completely.

This site, was knocked down from a 3 to a 2 in pagerank last week. Yesterday morning, it was a flat out zero. Yes. 0.

Funny thing too. The last two days have been my busiest days this month, and Google is no longer a part of it. While it sucks I will have to wait to get an xbox 360 anytime soon, it’s going to suck more to be them when people finally wake up and realize that Google just ain’t all that.
