Jude Law's Wiener
NSFW!
Don't say I didn't warn you.
the dude can't catch a break.
first they crucify him for banging his nanny, now his uncut manhood is all over the internet because some dude staked out his mom's house.
If he wasn't rich and hot, I'd feel a little sorry for him.
But as things stand, I'll post his nekkid pictures on my blog for cheap laffs.

DIDDY!
Just for Anner.
We can't be far from some sort of Caligulistic apocalypse when this kind of thing is news.

As for what brought about the latest change in moniker, the entertainer admitted that his previous name change left his fans uncertain of how to address him.
"I felt like the 'P' was getting between me and my fans and now we're closer," Diddy said.
"During concerts, half the crowd is saying 'P. Diddy'--half the crowd is chanting 'Diddy'--now everybody can just chant 'Diddy.' "
Culinary Lessons Learned on Vacation
1: Making great Mexican food isn't complicated, just vastly labor intensive.
2: Plain yogurt makes the best biscuts.
3: When poaching large numbers of eggs, the non-stick skillet is your friend and ally.
4: Shredding pork by hand is harder than using a pair of forks, but the improved texture is worth the effort.
Our last morning at the cabin I made the best scrambled eggs of my life.
(that's them along the top edge of the platter- click the thumbnail for a bigger pic)
Bax's Baroque Blue Cheese Scramble
(serves 4-6 adults comfortably)
Ingridients
10 eggs
2 apricot pecan sausages (removed from casing & crumbled)
2 red peppers(roasted & skinned)
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
4 tb. heavy cream
3 tb. butter
salt & pepper to taste
-----------------------
preperation
Roast the Peppers
Apply flame until skin is uniformly charred black (you can do this on a grill, in the broiler, or on the stovetop with a pair of tongs and an appropriate level of diligence).
Place charred peppers in a plastic bag for 10 or so minutes, remove.
Cut a circle around the stem, then cut down the length of the pepper- this will enable you to remove the main core of seeds with minimal fuss. Lay the pepper out flat and scrape away any remaining seeds and veins. Turn it over- the skin should come away easily with a small, sharp knife.
Chop roughly and let rest in a small bowl.
Brown the Sausage
You want it about 3/4ths done, roughly 10 minutes over medium heat.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
(For the next step, I used a large electric griddle at 300 degrees- on the stovetop you'll need two large skillets over medium-low heat, or just halve the recipe.)
Heat the cooking surface, add butter.
Once the butter has melted, add the chopped peppers and the browned sausage and let sautee as you prepare the eggs.
Preparing the Eggs
Crumble the blue cheese.
Break the eggs into a large bowl, add the cream, salt & pepper.
Beat lightly with a fork until just blended, add the blue cheese.
The Finale
When the sausage has fully cooked and the peppers are beginning to brown, add the eggs all at once. Let them cook for a few minutes undisturbed, then push them into the middle of the pan with the corner of a spatula or wooden spoon- uncooked egg will run off the top into the grooves. Let this get set a bit, then repeat the process. Break up any curds that get too big for their britches with your implement of choice.
At some point you'll run out of raw egg to fill the crevices.
Shove everything into a homogenous pile in the middle of the skillet, then flip it over (unless you have the world's biggest spatula, you'll have to do this in stages).
Cook for a few more minutes (until the bottom is set but not brown) and serve, ideally to rapturous applause from a hungry audience.

Ministry of Reshelving
As a bookstore professional, I cannot condone the sort of customer-driven reorganization endorsed by this organization.
But as a citizen of America in the year 2005, I can easily manage a wry, knowing chuckle for this particular effort:

Politics: They should just create a cabinet level post for 'Minister of Propaganda'
Proving again there's no tragedy too profound to be mined for shallow political gain, the Bush administration is proud to announce their 9/11 Parade and Country Music Jamboree, the 'America Supports You Freedom Walk'.
Sickened only begins to describe my response to this depraved plot to further trivialize and demean the memories of those who died in the towers by the cowards in power.
What next, the America Supports You Freedom Mechanical Bull Ride?
Bush can't make time for the mother of a dead serviceman during his five week vacation, but he can for this ridiculous bund rally?
Pathetic and nauseating.
