Even though I do not get that many colds, I like to have box of tissues at arm’s length or closer just about everywhere I go. Because here in The City, you never know when you are going to need a tissue: this much I have learned. In this never-ending flu season we’ve been experiencing for what seems like most of my adult life, it might be a good idea – if you are flat backing it in on the sofa and near death – to get yourself one of these remote control tissue box conveyor thingies. That way you can bring the tissue box of sweet relief to your sick and dying self by merely extending your weakened arm down to the floor. Comes in red, black or white, and sells for ¥3,690.00 (Japanese Yen) or approximately $40.71 USD from Geek Stuff 4 U Dot Com, what a bargain!
A few months back, I watched the above scene (known as “the Roxy Music scene”) from the totally obscure Daniel Craig film, Flashbacks of a Fool, at my friend Randy’s house, and it made my head explode. I finally got Flashbacks of a Fool in the Netflix and watched it last night. Man, what a cool movie! While the scene above is my favorite part of the film – because, you know, I was that girl – it really is a movie that is just so full of surprises that I ended up enjoying it very much. Plus Daniel Craig gets naked a bunch of times. So do yourself a favor if you do decide to add it to your queue: DO NOT under any circumstances watch the theatrical trailer that’s included on the DVD as part of the “Extras,” because I swear to god it gives away every single surprise and plot twist. And I hate it when they do that.
Everybody’s favorite new Romantic Pirate, Adam Ant (born StuartLeslie Goddard) was born on this day, November 3rd in 1954! I did a little bit of sleuthing on the interwebs in an attempt to see what Adam is looking like these days, and I’m chagrined to report that he is looking a bit bald and fat at present. Very sad news, as I will confess to still occasionally having sexy dreams of Adam all tarted up in his war paint and glad rags. And as such, I prefer to think of him in that state. Favorite Adam and The Ants Song: “Dog Eat Dog.” Favorite Adam Ant Solo Song: “Wonderful.”
Gail and Mike, Glam Slam Metal Jam, Summer of 2001, Good Times!

The Pink Fairy Armadillo is the smallest species of armadillo, growing only to approximately 3½ – 4½ inches long, excluding its tail. It is found in central Argentina, where it inhabits dry grasslands and sandy plains with thorn bushes and cacti. It has the ability to bury itself completely in a matter of seconds if frightened. Me gusta!
