I should mention, that Ms. M watches TV, and, as we all know, I eschew TV. However! That apparently does not stop me from knowing all the gory details about the lives and happenings of celebs. She randomly went thru the mag (which was a few weeks out of date) and I was shocked at my stupid ability to name not only the relevant pop culture reference (TV, music, movies - you get the idea) but also why that person was newsworthy at the moment. For reals. It was so freakin strange. And scary! I have never really been a celeb gossip follower. Lately, tho, my browsing history seems to contain a lot of sites dedicated to that sort of thing ... sites like PerezHilton (who I have given up cause he is just too nasty for my taste now), TMZ, People, MamaPop and others. I seriously think that I have given up a good percentage of my memory to random celeb facts. Memory that I could be using to retain things like math and how to do my job properly! I was going to give it all up, but I just can't seem to. Every time I open a browser to read something worthwhile (like the news or the weather or information on how to get my dog to stop trying to eat the cat food when I am not looking), I just automatically navigate to something trashy. It is like my mouse hand has a mind of her own ...
Ah well - everybody has to have a vice, I guess. And I would so much rather mine be this than something worse. Like cheese.

Ah, escapism, the reason I cannot watch just one episode of Supernatural at a time.
More importantly, are you aware of the move to make a new Buffy movie without any of the tv show's supporting characters, and without Joss involved? Scandalous! (I'm only sort of kidding).
I did see the news about the upcoming and likely craptastic BVS movie ... Actually, I replied to the comment you left on MamaPop about it :)
I am torn between teasing you mercilessly and being embarrassed by my initial belief that The Hills was a horror movie.
It has to be noted, however, that while it started randomly, your level of triviaise was so astonishing that I actually backtracked so we could go cover to cover. There was only one celeb you couldn't come up with some interesting factoid on. Had a pig flown by my window, it wouldn't have seemed at all strange. Please don't change. The experience was utterly amusing and enlightening (*snort*).
As for the Buffy flick: no original cast, no Joss???????????? That's an act of sacrilege I will not take part in.

p.s. before you ask (again), yes, I found your blog today by searching "just a girl wandering the city" ... darned computer reformat... you're back in my favourites... :-)
