Thursday PSAs

1. Watch SURVIVOR: GABON. IT STARTS TONIGHT!!! Need I say more? It starts September 25. EW! Geez. That's two screw-ups now, on your little calendar. Fringe was listed as Sept. 19, which is why we missed the original premiere date.

2. Download Google Chrome. Andria alerted me to its Beta existence, and I must say, I’m in love. I don’t date GC exclusively, mainly due to its newness and lack of compatibility with certain applications. However, I adore its Fast Dial-esque home page, which automatically lays out the top nine web sites you visit most frequently. And after bumbling around for a little while (instructions? pah, who needs instructions), looking for the all-important Google Search box, I realized that the address box itself IS the Google Search box. Except it’s even smarter, because the automatic drop-down offers to search google for your term, search your own browsing history for the term, and lists a few top sites related to the term. And related search terms themselves. Awesomeness. 

3. Read Candy Girl. I devoured it in just over 24 hours, which for me, the Slowest Reader on Earth, is saying a lot. Granted, it’s not a super-long book, but Diablo Cody’s writing is so intensely readable, funny, entertaining (she penned Juno, in case you didn’t know), and the subject (stripping for the hell of it, pretty much) kills. If you’re nice to me, I’ll let you borrow it. 

4. Be excited for more things Sex & the City! The movie comes out next Tuesday on DVD, of course. I read in EW earlier this week that they’re seriously talking about a sequel to the movie, or at least the idea is in the works… AND (I’m most excited about this one), a teen book called “The Carrie Diaries” should be coming out one day, covering Carrie Bradshaw’s high school years. Yay! 

5. Use your antibacterial hand gel, and stock up on rum—er, medicine—for the whole family. K.Lo’s got a nasty cold and is sneezing and snotting everywhere. It doesn’t look good for the rest of us. And tissues, we’re going to need lots of tissues. And maybe some noise-canceling headphones for the extra (lord help me) whininess.

1. no i won't. you can't make me.
2. i don't like fancy beta things unless its all the episodes of SPark.
3. my question is, is it redemptive? or whats the outcome- bcs i don't know if i can equate stripping with funny or entertaining. ; )
4. i'm totally excited that you're excited bcs in true STC fashion i am supportive of all things you.
5. i will wash my hands but i don't want to kill healthy bacteria- though you are living in a hazmat area.
6. also totally for rum, noise canceling headphones... and an escape plan which includes all things tv, candy, exercising and book reading... oh and blogging and doing writing exercises...or whatever.
