As I was looking through galleries of the photos taken on the Emmy’s 03 red carpet, I wondered if some stars dress horribly just so they’ll be talked about? Or maybe they really have no idea just how bad they look. “Oh you look fab-u-lous, that whole hippie look is so in this season!” says their friend, and fellow nominee, that is happy they look like shit.

Some of the clothes looked evil, really evil. Someone needs to remind them (or their stylists) “less is more darling”.

Meanwhile Ellen ‘I should have hosted because my bit was the only funny part and you all know it’ DeGeneres, did the whole suit look and did it well. And of course we can’t forget Simon Cowell, who took the opportunity to grab some ass.

Everyone says SJP was the best dressed, but I disagree, personally I think there’s something wrong with a dress that doesn’t move naturally with the body. I think Poppy Montgomery got it right, Courteney Cox looked sexy and classy, something most stars will never come close to, while Alicia Silverstone looked oh so cute. Paula Abdul’s dress was stunning, but the tiara and jewels over did it a bit.

Please, someone make the evilness stop!

I’ve been reading these fantastic mini-books. The site has condensed all your favorite classics down for easy consumption. Here are some of my favorites:

• The Catcher In the Rye – By J. D. Salinger
• The Fellowship of the Ring – By J. R. R. Tolkien
• Lord of the Flies – By William Golding

My porn name is ‘Bambi Nova’ according to mypornname.com. Look out for me in such films as “Hunting For Bambi” and “Bambi Gone Wild”.

Wednesday night on the popular aussie TV show ‘The Panel’ Kate Langbroek breast feed her newborn baby live on air, and last night ‘A Current Affair’ did a segment on it. People said they were appalled by her doing this, but I say good on you Kate. One of my friends has a baby and when she’s out in public people give her dirty looks for breast feeding, people have even approached her and said that breast feeding your baby in public is just plain wrong. What’s so wrong about doing one of the most natural things in the world?

Mothers should be able to breast feed where ever and when ever they wish, you can’t just simply say to a baby “Sorry, mommy can’t feed you right now because people see my boobs as sexual objects”. What Kate did is a step in the right direction to breaking down the issues people have with public breast feeding.

On the subject of babies, congratulations to Heather, it’s a girl. 🙂

I can’t believe people still don’t understand the purpose of personal/blog websites, it’s a creative outlet for the individual that owns it. Apparently blogs aren’t mainstream enough, Oprah hasn’t done a show on them yet. Even MS word doesn’t know what the word ‘blog’ is. It wants to replace it with ‘bog, bloc, blob, blot’ or ‘blow’. We’d be called ‘boggers’ if MS had its way.

I could just imagine Oprah doing a show on blogging. Ernie would be there, just because it’s my dream to see Ernie and Oprah in the same building for shits and giggles. It’s like putting electricity and water together, fun for all. I’m sure Taylor would somehow get in, he’d yell “But I’m the button/linkpool guy! I’m coooooooool ask kittamonga!”, and they’d let him in. There’d also be Jenny the boobless wonder, Heather the soon to be mother, and various other bloggers who agreed to be there for the free alcohol and food. Oh and I would be there, because it is my dream. 🙂 Some of it would go down like this:

Oprah comes out and soaks up all the love her audience is sending her. Audience member’s discus what Oprah is wearing today between themselves.

Oprah: Today I’m talking to people who own those mysterious things called blogs.
Audience: Ooooooooooo ahhhhhhhhhhh.
Oprah: What’s a blog you ask? Well I don’t really know, but my friend Gail has one, so it MUST be great!

Cuts to a clip showing various sites, and introduces viewers to the secret world of blogs.

Oprah: My guests today all own and run their own blog websites, where they write about their thoughts and daily lives. Ernie, you’re the gay asian voice of the internet…
Ernie: Umm…
Oprah: Are most of the people who visit your site gay? Are you friends with the queer eye guys? I just loveee them sooo much!
Ernie: Yes everyone who visits my site is gay and the queer eye guys are my best friends. I also eat puppies for breakfast.

Oprah notes Ernie’s sarcasm, and gives the floor manger the signal to make him go away, and then she moves onwards.

Oprah: I took a look at all of your sites last night while I was working out and listening to my iPod…
Taylor: Did someone say iPod?

Taylor looks under his chair and gives the camera man a look because he thinks his battery pack resembles an iPod.

Oprah: Heather you’re expected your first baby, and you’ve been blogging about the whole process. What is that like for you?
Heather: It’s great, once you get past all the emails from people telling you that calling your child a “*beep*ing bitch” is wrong. I thought you said there’d be food here? I need to feed the alien slowly growing inside of me NOW!
Taylor: Do you have any spare iPods left over for that free stuff show?
Nikita: Yeah, I’d love to get my hands on one of those babies.

Oprah gives the floor manger the same signal as before.

Oprah: We’ll be back after the break when we’ll talk to AOL about the blogging software that everyone – who has an AOL account – can use.
Nikita: Oh for *beep* sakes, AOL is…

Cuts to the commercial break.

Note: In no way do the personalities of anyone in The Oprah Show Dream resemble the real likeness of any of the people in it. Well except Taylor, he really would ask her for an iPod.

Every time I hear the radio station play Justin Timberlake’s ‘Senorita’ I get an image in my head of Justin Timberlake in drag when he sings like a chick (well tries to) at the end. Little red dress, strapy high heels, blonde wing and tons of make up. Scary.

I got my hair cut today, it’s about shoulder length and has a little side fringe thing going on. I love it because it’ll be easier to wash, dry, style, and dye. I love my hair long, but once it gets too long it pisses me off so much I always end up chopping it off before summer hits. I also found $5 on the ground, which I needed to pay for the haircut. I’m weird like that, anyone remember that Seinfeld episode where they go on about how if Jerry loses $20 he always finds $20 somewhere? Yeah, I’m like that.

I emailed NG a few days ago and asked her if she had ever thought of opening an online store with cafepress selling shirts, mug, mousepads, g-strings and other things with her artwork on it. She liked the idea and has opened one at cafeshops.com/notus, there’s some great stuff there so go check it out. I’m saving up for one of her g-strings and a baby doll shirt. 😉

This makes me wish I never sold my 3 boxs of lego for $20 at a garage sale, I too could have had my own army of little lego men to do stuff for me. I’d teach them how to make pan cakes and pour a glass of coke, mmmm.

I saw this quote on an e-bay book review and it’s been in my head for the last few days… “Lies are like loans, for one should take on as few as is necessary and keep them as small as possible.” I like that. The reviewer was talking about how sometimes you should lie to protect loved ones, but never tell them to hurt others.

Anyone know of a good feed reader? I’ve tried ‘feedreader’ ‘klipfolio’ and ‘awasu’ and none of them really impressed me.

All this week I’ve been getting phone calls from friends, friends of friends, people who say they’re related to me and people who I think must have seen “call this number if you have a computer problem” on a bathroom stall. It pretty much goes along these lines:

Random odd person: “Hi, I’m [Insert ROP’s name here] and I know [Insert another ROP’s name here]. How are you?”
Me: “I’m good, how are you?”
ROP: “Good, good… But I’m umm, having some problems with my computer.”
Me: *Puts down phone and bangs head into table*
ROP: “Hello?”

They’re all calling because they have the Sobig.F virus on their computer and have no idea what to do. I try to talk them through the process of getting rid of it, but in the end I sigh and tell them to drop over their case. It’s actually a lot less time consuming that way. All I’ve received so far is a bottle of cheap red wine for my effort.

For those that haven’t noticed it in my right hand side menu yet, I’ve added linkpool to my site. It’s sort of like a mini link blog, but it’s used across various sites and they pool their interesting links together.

The new Ikea magazine has just been placed before me, so I must go now and plan fantasy kitchens and lounge rooms. 🙂
