[apocalypsos]

-- Farrah Fawcett's finally passed away. I'm saddened at her passing, obviously, but she's been suffering so long and she was at home with her family, so in that respect it's probably the best possible ending.

-- German Jews Horrified by Britney Holocaust Role: There is not enough HELL NO in the world.

-- Girl Who Doesn't Age Baffles Doctors: She's sixteen but she has the mind and body of a toddler. No, seriously.

-- The Supreme Court ruled Thursday school officials violated an Arizona teenage girl rights by strip-searching her for prescription-strength ibuprofen, saying U.S. educators should not force children to remove their clothing unless student safety is at risk. Clarence Thomas was the lone dissenting voice, and his statement on that is basically a bunch of BS about how drug-dealing high school students will know now that they can get away with, like, wrapping joints up with string and using them as a tampon or some shit. Whatever. It's bad when Scalia's got more common sense than you, Thomas, honestly.

-- The 8 Shittiest Transformer Disguises.

-- You know what? I was thinking about the Footloose remake the other day, and I realized it's not the remake exactly that bugs me. I mean, okay, come up with original ideas, Hollywood, they're out there. But on a smaller scale, it's been two things. The possibility of Zac Efron being the lead pissed me off, but putting Chace Crawford in the same role actually makes me happy because Chace needs the break and just because Zac Efron's got a good career in musicals doesn't make him right for it. (Frankly, I think he should just try for comedic leads -- he's got the talent and timing for it.) The other thing is that I keep picturing how they'll remake the song and I get irrationally pissed off. It's Kenny Loggins, for fuck's sake! Why am I so protective of a Kenny Loggins song? Probably because I can picture the producers giving it to the Pussycat Dolls to piss on with their signature brand of half-naked, half-dressed-in-something-unflattering-and-ugly suck.

-- Oh! And for those of you who are Neil Patrick Harris fans, next week is the episode of Top Chef Masters when the chefs have to cook for him and his friends. (10 p.m. Wednesday on Bravo)

Farrah Fawcett was a guest at my father's first wedding. (He also had the Grateful Dead playing. Live.)

See that whole Spears thing just makes me tired,/i>. It is such penny ante bs to be outraged about....

Is it bad that I read the story about the girl that doesn't age and started thinking about her being a Highlander Immortal. Especially when they talk about her having a stroke as a child and recovering with no sign of damage from it.

And now I have fanfic ideas in my head.

...I started thinking of the same thing.

Okay, maybe we're living in a Clarence Thomas world where it's "eminently reasonable" to assume that if you can't find the pills you were tipped off about in a student's backpack, they must be in her panties. It was still ibuprofen. Oh my god. Ooh, the equivalent of two whole Advils. That's totally the stuff of a stoner's dreams.

I was also sad to see the criticism of "there's no clear standard" in that article. It's a reasonability standard, one that exists in one way or another all over the legal system. Get used to it, guys.
