The cafeteria at my work will be serving something French that day, or something. Does that count?

My participation will be limited to not wearing any deoderant all weekend. Also, that will be my present to Ang for her birthday.

I'm going to a VIP event for the Lifetime Triathlon. Josh Kelly is performing and maybe Kristine Heigl will make an appearance.

Yum free sushi, cocktails and TV d-listers.

I'm not really a fan of her, but it is Katherine and she really isn't a d-lister

Dougie...I heard David Fhima's accountant is scheduled to MC that party.

Maybe it's Katherine's younger sister Kristine, and she's making an appearance with Richard Stamos, Don Swayze, Alie Lohan, and Ashley Simpson.

I haven't liked Don Sqayze in anything since Beach Babes from Beyond .

No Frank Stallone? Then I'm not going.

Well, I knew I wasn't making a comprehensive list.

We could add Jamie Lynn Spears, Jim Belushi, Mimi McPhereson, Ike Broflovski, Latoya Jackson, all of Alec Baldwin's brothers, David Arquette.

Hmm. Maybe there's a reality show in there: D-list siblings of celebrities.

My dog Dirk and I (and some other friends) will be attending the Barbette Bastille Day. Dirk always dresses up for the occasion and this time, he'll be riding there in my bike basket. Oh, and he's also having a b-day party at Barbette on Sat, so he's going to be there all weekend! (He doesn't usually have b-day parties, but he's turning 10. I figured a decade is worth something!)

Ew. All kinds of bad use of the color red going on.

What do you have against the Gingers Cat??

Bix, please don't sully the skills of D.Caruso with the likes of Bonadouche.

Skinney Smooth Freckled Gingers are hot.
Fat Balding Hairy Gingers...not so much.

Bixby  url03:26pm

What skills? I don't think Caruso is good enough to have a show on the same network as Lara "I wrecked my new baby daddy's home" Logan.

I think I just figured out what Dougie looks like.

Skills?? Hello? Have you ever watched the man put on then take off his sunglasses. Brando couldn't have dreamed of showing that much emotion.

mnblrmkr  url03:41pm

Not to mention that dry wit.

Cat  url03:44pm

As with touch, there are good gingers and bad gingers.

That's emotion? I thought it was gas.

He's a gusher compared to Gary Sinise.

Ever since re-watching "The Stand" a few months ago, Gary Sinese is dead to me.

Damn. I already shaved my armpits this week. I could have rocked out with my seaweed-y hairs flowing free.

But Molly Ringwald is resurrected, righ aliecat?

She's off the list too, kurtis.

whats all this then?

how can your discussion of gingers not include "gingerballs" himself...Murray Hewitt.

also ditto on Caruso and the sunglass bit...only Caruso and Bruckheimer new you could make a successful show that really only contained one man putting on and taking off sunglasses.....brilliant!

gingerballs... present

I was going to volunteer for it, but now I'm just going to the festival to check out the bands, I think.
