Mish-mash

I've got nothing but some links and some comments. Let's kick it off..

I agree whole-heartedly with this article. Celebrities should not be allowed to name anything, particularly their children. He did forget to mention Demi Moore's poor children: Rumer, Scout LaRue, and Tallulah Belle. This is why you should wait for the drugs to wear off before you fill out the birth certificate.

Their making a movie of Memoirs of a Geisha! I absolutely loved the book. I hope they do it justice. Arthur Golden delved deep into the geisha culture without losing the narrative thread and he made it seem effortless. A beautiful story. I highly recommend the book and I can't wait to see the movie.

The Pixies! Reunited after 12 years. The picture confused the hell out of me. I just learned that Frank Black (a.k.a. Black Francis) is in actuality Charles Thompson. I had a major d'oh moment there. "That guy looks like Frank Black, but they say he's this Charles Thompson dude. Are they trying to make me insane?" Yeah, I'm a bit slow on the up-take. Anyway.. I have to say that I have listened to "Bam Thwok" and I'm in love. My beloved Pixies are back!

That is all. Go forth and..read or something. I dunno.
