Well, it's official - Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are engaged. I guess a couple of months of brainwashing - errr, dating - can really sweep a girl off her feet.
Katie has mentioned that when she was a little girl, she used to dream of marrying Tom Cruise. I wonder if that dream included her conversion to a cult, which I'm sure that Tom, Mr. "if-they-don't-like-Scientology-well-then-f***-you" was very objective about. Oh well...she's not the first woman in history to do something like that for her man.
On a related note, how much freakier can Tom get? He's suddenly this over-the-top, wacko kinda guy instead of the cool, handsome leading man. I'm not sure that this recent development has been a good career move, but I suppose he has plenty of money to retire on.
All around, it's just kinda weird - like Flava Flav and Brigitte Nielson kinda weird. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

Why aren't we impeaching president shrub?
Of course, I know why - we have a very imbalanced government in the U.S. right now. But when I read articles about the inadequacies of bush jr. (such as this one of the Downing Street Memo), I just can't seem to figure out how half of the population still supports him. Why, oh why?
People were in an uproar over Clinton getting it on with Lewinsky in the Oval Office, which I might point out did not involve anyone but the two of them (and Hillary unknowingly) until it was blown up into a huge scandal by the republicans.
But somehow people don't care that our tax dollars are wasted on all kinds of ridiculous things, such as imaginary threats of a washed up dictator. They don't care that legislation passed to protect us from pollution in our air and water are now being defeated; and they don't care that programs that help people, such as adults who need job training due to layoffs, are being cut by the bush administration by 74%. These, of course, are merely a few things among a myriad of other detrimental policies.
Listen, if you support this guy and his crooked administration, don't come complaining to us (democrats) about the terrible illnesses your family and friends get due to increased pollution and environmental causes. And don't tell me about how difficult it is to get a job because you can't get retraining when the programs are cut. You brought it on yourself by supporting bush jr. and "moral" agenda, which is nothing more than a thinly veiled code name for increasing the gap between the middle class and the rich.
But, I still say that we should impeach the @$$hole, and make him and his wealthy friends pay off the national debt they've caused us to incur.

Awful Web sites
So, I'm in the market for a couple of toy poodles. I've been googling to come up with some breeders in my area, and I've also got some recommendations from various sources.
In all of the sites I've seen, I have yet to come across one that I think is well done. Most have ridiculous backgrounds, hideous colors, poor navigation, awful grammar and spelling, and some even play horrible MIDI tunes. There's little worse than having to wade through all of that crap just to figure out if you have a litter of puppies, especially when you're charging hundreds of dollars for each dog.
If you are the owner of one of these sites, please do all of us a favor and think about the design of your site. This advice is really for anyone designing a site, but I've come to notice the dog sites in particular due to my recent search activities.
If you need some help, check out Vincent Flanders' Web site for some tips.

Street ass
So, I absolutely love my sister-in-law, Kati. Today, we headed out to IKEA to do some random shopping. Along the way, we drove past a guy with half his ass exposed on the street. No, I'm not kidding. It wasn't even like he was overly huge or anything, but nonetheless, there was his big ol' ass hanging out. It was far worse than regular plumber butt. He was chatting it up with the neighbor next door, without a care in the world (obviously).
It could almost go without saying that Kati and I busted up laughing. It just wasn't something that you see every day (thankfully, I might add). I'm not sure why the guy didn't notice his ass hanging out of his pants, but maybe it's just an every day kind of thing for him or maybe he has no nerve endings in this butt. Perhaps it's like Tara Reid, whose breast popped out on the red carpet one day and she had no clue. In any case, it was an alarming sight and I can only hope that one day someone will buy him the proper size of pants to cover up his ass.

Bad news
So, one of my sisters was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis this week. It's a very helpless feeling knowing that I live several hours from her and because of that I can do relatively little to help her out.
