I'll Tumble 4 Ya

This provided me a hearty Friday morning chuckle (from the NY Daily News): During next week's RNC, "Boy George will be hosting a 'going-away' party for President Bush at the Coral Room."

See, I knew there was a reason I liked Boy George. Apart from the brilliance of "Karma Chameleon," that is. Ooh, and "The Crying Game." Brilliant.

Watched All That Jazz last night, loving Ann Reinking and wondering what the hell happened to Roy Scheider? Has he made his obligatory B-list actor appearance on Law & Order or is he trapped on some reality show island talent show where they vote you off if you gag on your live cockroach breakfast or your plastic surgery fails to make you even marginally less hideous? The last thing I remember Roy in was The Myth of Fingerprints, that movie where he played Julianne Moore and Noah Wyle's rather lecherous dad. Not a bad movie, actually. But I always wondered if it stole its name from the Paul Simon song or vice versa. Or is it (like a gazillion other modern phrases) derived from ol' man Shakespeare? Who the hell knows?

Well, it's obvious I am all over the place today. Naturally, it's Friday and I'm cheeky, likely the result of the sugar high I've enjoyed since 8am. Oh yeah, and we here on the north coast can expect "record high" temperatures today. Yes, folks, believe it or not, we may hit 75 degrees. Christ, I sure hope we poor souls can manage to stay cool with Satan's fire scorching the Earth at our feet. Global warming's a bitch, ain't it?
