sometimes it rains, but socks never fall from the sky.

did you watch the grammys last night? you might have noticed eminem was wearing a sort of smallish medallion on a long chain around his neck. not your typical rapper bling. at first glance it appeared to be the deathly hallows which of course makes a lot of sense because we all know mr mathers is a huge harry potter fan. but that is not what it was. it was mr mathers's AA pendant. and, nothing says "anonymous" like wearing your addiction around your neck in front of millions of people.

did you hear that bill maher identified bill o'reilly as disrespectful of our president? politics aside, when someone calls our president a "retard" you really can't deny that's disprespectful. fyi - it was mr maher that called george w bush a "retard", during mr bush's time in office. kettle? pot? eh? what?

did you see where tiger woods spit on the 12th green at the dubai open over the weekend? spitting is apparently way against the rules of the european tour of which the dubai open is a tournament. so far way against the rules that tiger is likely to be fined $16,000. SIXTEEN THOUSAND BUCKS! that's nothing to spit at! wait...

did you know that many people use ellipses incorrectly? not that i am one of those people, but i always thought ellipses of three dots indicated a bit of skipped, edited, removed, or missing copy and four dots indicated a bit of such copy plus a punctuation mark known as the "period". i have recently learned from the chicago manual of style answer lady that the four dots indicate a bit of missing copy and the three dots indicate a trailing thought. gosh, answer lady, are you sure? what about punctuation...? one wonders...
