Has hit me. Holy bejesus! It suddenly dawned on me this morning as I was making a list of due dates for various vendor balances that, as of this Sunday, the wedding is only TWO WEEKS away!!! There is still SO. MUCH. for me to do!!!!!!!!!!!! And I'll be in Vegas this weekend for my bachelorette party, which means I have to do laundry and pack and blah blah blah, which just adds to my 'to do' list - and it means I'm an entire weekend short of extra days in which to get stuff done. Plus, I'm absotively, posilutely swamped at work and have no time to get done what I need to finish before I leave for the honeymoon. And I have to leave early on Thursday to go to Vegas and leave early on Tuesday to get the wedding license and... There is just no time, people. NO TIME!!! Waaaah...

Daniel Radcliffe in Parade
Harry Potter fever is in full swing, people! Well, okay, maybe it's still in more of a winding-up stage. But still! It's coming!!! And I'm a huge dork who's very excited! Gah!
Anyway, the upcoming issue of Parade has an article on Daniel and in the spirit of bombarding you with all sorts of Harry Potter crap over the next few weeks, here it is:
Daniel Radcliffe has an ambition that might surprise you.
“Ultimately, I really want to do a bungee jump,” he tells me over Diet Cokes in a Manhattan café. He grins. “But not for a while.”
No, not for a while. Not, at least, while Radcliffe is still the very valuable centerpiece of Warner Brothers’ gigantic Harry Potter franchise, whose five films to date have earned almost $4.5 billion (that’s billion with a “b”) worldwide. The sixth installment, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, premieres next month, and the series’ two-part finale—Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, currently in production in England—finishes shooting next spring. By that time, Daniel Radcliffe will be close to 21 and will have spent half his life portraying Harry.
What better way to celebrate a great run than a big jump?
Prior to beginning Deathly Hallows, Radcliffe made a physically less perilous but no less daring leap: starring in the Broadway revival of Peter Shaffer’s dark, disturbing play Equus. Radcliffe portrayed an unbalanced stable boy with a religious and sexual fascination with horses. He also had a nude love scene.
Of course, it wasn’t the subtle, dramatic structure of Shaffer’s play that drew all the headlines. People were initially shocked and titillated by the prospect of Harry Potter taking it all off. Then they weren’t.
“As soon as we started doing the show, people went, ‘Oh! So this is not pornography—this is a play,’ ” Radcliffe says matter-of-factly. “It was mainly hyped beforehand.”
Still, the mere sight of him, dressed or undressed, is enough to stir up some of his fans. At one performance, four girls sitting in the gallery above the stage caused a scene.
“From the moment I walked onstage, I could hear them talking and getting very excited,” Radcliffe recalls, shaking his head. “Then they started talking to me: ‘Dan! Dan! Look over here, Dan!’ ” He pauses. “I’m not somebody who particularly gets angry about stuff like that. In my professional life, I rarely get angry at all. And yet, I came offstage seeing blood. I was so furious!”
It will shock nobody that Radcliffe is a spectacularly sensible and articulate young man. Just like Harry. Over the years, he admits, it’s been hard to tell where Harry leaves off and he begins. “When I started out at the age of 10 or 11,” he says, “I was essentially saying the lines as I myself would say them. When I became aware that that’s what I was doing, at 13 or 14, it didn’t make sense to change, because it would suddenly be a dramatic shift in the character.” He smiles. When his mother read the sixth Harry Potter book, he remembers, she noticed that “Harry argues in the kind of irritating, pedantic way that I argue. She thought Harry and I were getting closer and closer together at that point.”
But not at this point. Significantly, Radcliffe’s smooth cheeks show a haze of dark whiskers.
Gossip columns have linked him with a succession of slightly older actresses, and he doesn’t deny his taste in women: “Girls my own age are not really an option,” he tells me. “I find, generally speaking, they have to be entertained more than older girls do. So most of the girls I have had serious things with are generally sort of in their 20s.”

Perhaps most portentously, when a magazine photographer recently asked the actor to pose holding a magic wand and wearing the trademark Potter spectacles, he politely declined.
“I’ve now reached a stage in my career where I am starting to break away,” he says. “I just think I’m a bit too old for that now.”
So was Equus his declaration of independence?
“I didn’t set out to shock people. I set out to do something different from Potter. If I had wanted to shock people,” Radcliffe says, “I would have played, you know, a gay drug dealer. But, equally, you have to tread a very fine line. If, say, my next film was another fantasy film, everyone would just go, ‘Well, he’s not stretching himself.’ Then, if I played some drug dealer, everyone would turn around and go, ‘Oh, this smacks of desperation to stop being typecast.’ ”
Still, he hasn’t cut the cord just yet. Radcliffe is—as might be expected—extremely respectful of the Potter story, its creator J.K. Rowling, and all that the franchise has done for him. “I’ve had a happy and very healthy, really enjoyable childhood, and a fantastically interesting one,” he says. “I genuinely think I am a better person for having done these films than I possibly would have been had I not.”
Not to mention a much richer one. His salary for the most recent Potter picture was a reported $25 million; overall, he’s said to be worth at least twice that. He’s been declared England’s richest teenager.
“I think it’s amazing,” Radcliffe says. “I have been very, very fortunate. But I’m not going to spend it on flashy cars or particular extravagances. What it does in terms of my career, which is how I like to look at it—it gives me the thing that George Clooney has, where he can go off and do a big-budget movie like Ocean’s Eleven, make a lot of money for it, and then go and do stuff that won’t pay as much. It gives you room to maneuver, basically. It means I can relax, and I think that’s the best thing it can do. It’s one thing in my life that I am incredibly fortunate not to have to worry about. Money will never be the focus for me. That’s not how I’ve been brought up.”
The only child of Marcia Gresham and Alan Radcliffe, a casting director and an actor turned literary agent, Daniel grew up in show business: He was a veteran of two films before he was cast for Potter. As a middle-class Londoner, he was sent to private schools, but then, as acting consumed his schedule, on-set tutors took over his education. He never looked back.

“I wasn’t very good in school at all,” Radcliffe says. “I was kind of useless. I found the work really, really difficult.”
I ask him to imagine what his life might have been like if it had taken a more conventional turn.
“I think, on the whole, I wouldn’t have half the confidence that I have,” he tells me. “I’m not saying that I’m a
brazenly confident person. But I’m kind of sure of myself intellectually. And I know I wouldn’t have been if I had stayed in school because, before I did Potter, my confidence had been more or less destroyed by a couple of teachers. So I had it all restored by the people who taught me on the films.”
But confidence never turned to cockiness—or worse. “In England, you’re treated as a kid first, then an actor,” he says. “I think in America it’s the other way around. You’re more likely to get inflated ideas about yourself because it’s happening during your formative years. If I ever got too big for my boots in England when I was growing up on the films, someone would let me know. I’ve been surrounded by very honest, good people the whole time.”
Not so many people these days, though. A few months ago, Radcliffe quietly moved out of his parents’ house and into a place of his own in London. “It’s a bit weird,” he admits. “The first few weeks you’re getting used to living alone, which is bizarre, but I really enjoy it now, actually.”
And what about the prospect of—gulp—turning 20 next month?
“I’ve noticed I make noises when I get up and sit down now,” Radcliffe says in all seriousness. “I mean, my knees are rotten bad—I refused to wear knee pads too many times when I was doing stunts, and I just clobbered them up a bit. I am an old man in a young man’s body.”
But then, we kind of knew that all along, didn’t we?

TV Tidbits 72 - Man vs. Wild
Squee! Entertainment Weekly has a new Q&A with Bear up on their site this afternoon. And he talks about "stripping off" so you know it's a good one... ! :o)
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So the Dos Equis event sounds like it was fun.
BEAR GRYLLS: I don't spend nearly enough time hanging out at fun things like this. I tend to film, and then want to get home. I've got three little boys [Jesse, Marmaduke (aka Duke), and Huckleberry (Huck)]. And then a few times a year, I get wheeled out like a monkey [laughs], I get paraded around to promote the start of Man vs. Wild or some company like Dos Equis. But these ads are cool. I've wanted to do urban survival stuff for ages. There's other stuff I've learned through all the special forces kind of training, the combat stuff, the gymnastics stuff, and really, they're a great excuse to show some of those things.
So you did all your own stunts?
Yeah, yeah. That's the fun side of doing it for me. I hope to do a film next year for Disney that's gonna incorporate loads of different stuff. The idea is to kind of base it around Man vs. Wild, so we would be filming in a jungle and then everything starts going wrong. You see a plane crash, and there's a family on-board, and then a whole cat-and-mouse game in the jungle and me getting the family out of there, and then it ends up in London with fight scenes off the rooftops. Again, it would be fun for me. We'd still keep Man vs. Wild going. We're hoping to do an urban survival Man vs. Wild at the end of this year. We're trying to do some escape ones, like escape from Alcatraz. We're trying to do a Man vs. Wild boot camp, training up normal people and giving them some of these skills. So we've got a lot of cool ideas for the next few years at least.
Man vs. Wild returns with new episodes in August. What's in store for us?
Well, we've filmed in Alabama, Norway, Texas, we go to Alaska tomorrow. We did a war special in Vietnam that's gonna be great.
How's your finger? [He severed one down to the bone on a razor-sharp strand of half-cut bamboo last month in the jungles of Vietnam.]
It's still numb, so it's not great. But it looks okay now, which is good. But you know, we're never gonna reach the end of our lives in perfectly preserved bodies doing this sort of job. Vietnam is the highlight of the season for me. It's a full-on place. It just makes you realize these young American kids out of college sent there with no idea, no jungle experience...Unbelievable. It's a real struggle just to survive let alone fight. So I think that will really resonate strongly with people.
And what will we be watching you eat this season?
What have I had recently... Rattlesnake a couple of days ago. Lots of lizards. [For the record, when Grylls tweeted, "just found a squashed rattlesnake tail from last week's texas desert episode in my pocket and woman in NYC elevator looked a bit surprised!" he was not referring to me.]
We have time for a few reader questions: WOJO asks "Bear, if you could give Will Ferrell an animal nickname based on your experience with him, what would it be?"
The Python. [Laughs] Trying to get him out of his shelter in the morning, he was like a python that had eaten too much the night before. Or Sloth. "I can't do it again today. I'm not moving." No, he genuinely did an amazing job. There are very few people who would take themselves that far out of their comfort zone and do it. Lots of people come up to me on the street, or actors that I meet, and they talk a big story, but when it actually comes to getting on those six flights and going up to the tip of the Arctic with nothing, it takes something special. And I really admire him for that. I said, "Listen. Just come on your own, without your entourage, trust me, and we'll have a blast." He did look a bit like shock of capture at the start, but he committed to it. And he was very tired by the end -- but I'm always exhausted by the end. He said he lived 10 lifetimes in two days.
MISSY would like to know if you are planning to have more special celebrity guests. [The June 2 Men vs. Wild special with Ferrell delivered record ratings for the show.]
We'd like to do two or three a year. I'd love to have Jennifer Lopez. She's got such a reputation of being a diva, but actually, she's resilient, and you don't get to where she is by being a pushover. I reckon she'd be much tougher than people suspect, and I think it'd be a really good show. The other nice thing is, you get to know a real person over that length of time when stuff is stripped and much more bare. On the chat show, you can be all great for whatever, five minutes. I think people would be interested to find out some of these real stories. I'd love to do Tom Hanks, as well, with all his Cast Away stuff. I know he likes the show. Having sort of filmed a bit of it in this movie, to then actually do it for real and get his perspective on that would be amazing.
We received two questions about you being naked on the show. Let's go with MEGAN's: She says it seems as though you're stripping down less now, and wonders if you've received any complaints.
[Laughs] Okay, what happens is, we film for however long and always during that time, at some point, I'll strip off and I'll have a wash. I've always just put it in the show, so people go, "Oh, he's so gratuitous, he's always stripping off" 'cause they see it once in an hour. I'm going, "It's once in six days!" So I try to do it less, a little bit more discreetly and tell them to turn the cameras off. Having said that, we're going to Alaska, and I just know, whenever it's cold, I always end up doing big river crossings and getting soaked...
HOUSEWIFE IN THE DESERT wants to know if you've ever gone on a shoot, realized it was a BIG mistake for everyone involved, and pulled the plug.
No, we've never reached that point, God willing. We've had some injuries, we've had crew who had to be evacuated with heatstroke or got very cold, but on the whole, we've been really lucky. We look out for each other. We try to manage the risk as much as we can. We watch each other's backs and double check each other's stuff. The show ultimately, I believe, is popular because we're out there doing it for real, and therefore, I don't take any pride in close shaves. Close shaves to me are bad, but the reality is we do have quite a lot of them.
We got a few questions about "misconceptions" people might have from watching the show. What would you like people to know about how you film?
I suppose to bear in mind that this is a worst-case scenario show, and therefore, of course things have to be planned. Otherwise, it would just be me in the wild and nothing happening, you know, 'cause textbook survival says you land, you get yourself comfortable, you wait for rescue, you don't do anything. It would be a very boring show. The show is how to deal if you fall into quick sand, if you get attacked by an alligator, if you have to make a raft. I get a really good briefing before we go. I know there's a big river there, there's gonna be a great cliff climb there, there's loads of snakes in those rocks, watch out for an alligator. So I do have a good idea of 80 percent of what's gonna happen.
And do you always hike from Point A to Point B?
We plan it, if we're doing different locations, sometimes we'll have to do a whole crew move and get a helicopter. Again, we're talking huge distances sometimes. So we'll use helis when we have to. They'll go out three weeks ahead of me, and go, "That bit's no good. Those rapids we thought are gonna be good are boring, but down there, it's great."
Last question: KAY wants to know why your crew doesn't get screen time.
What do you mean? Haven't you ever heard this voice, "Good luck, Bear!" [Laughs] That's Dave [one of his crew, also ex-special forces, who's sitting in on our chat and no doubt happy we've moved past the discussion about the number of times he's seen Bear's bits]. Dave's got three girls, okay. So first time you see one of the crew on Man vs. Wild, we get to the location, I'm under-slung on the helicopter, they lower me, and the heli can't get down, and then Dave cuts this rope to drop me, and you hear him go, "Good luck, Bear!" All his daughters are watching and just burst out laughing, getting all their friends and wandering around the house going, "Good luck, Bear! Good luck, Bear!" Poor Dave. [Dave: It's a comedy moment.] We're doing a behind-the-scenes Man vs. Wild at the moment, for one of the compilations. It's gonna be cool. So, like, in Texas, we did a biplane entrance, where I'm flying in on a biplane, it flips upside down, I then get thrown out of my seat hanging on to the wing and then drop off. Meanwhile, the pilot's going, "Okay, Bear, time for you to go." Whoosh. Zooooom. I drop off, and Simon and the camera are strapped to the wing. So we've got great footage of the behind-the-scenes. You're right: I think people are really interested in it, and I'm really proud to show what an amazing job they do. Obviously, I'm not the person editing [the episodes], but yeah, I agree they should put more and more of it in.
TV Tidbits 71 - Reaper
Robert and I haven't yet watched the last few episodes of Reaper (I think we're delaying because of some misguided feeling that the longer we wait, the more likely the show will come back) and while I'm sure it was good, I'm also fairly certain it didn't get to tie up all the loose ends completely. And it looks like I am correct (boo) - TVGuide.com posted this interview with Sam and Sock on their site yesterday:
How dead is Reaper? Although star Bret Harrison tells us a comic book about the canceled CW series is in the works, that's the only way the hellish adventures of Sam and Sock are likely to continue anytime soon. Tyler Labine, who played Sock to Harrison's Sam, says syndication speculation is groundless: "I think it's not officially, officially dead but as far as everyone is concerned, it's over," he says. Of course, the two would happily reunite for a movie. "Yeah, the R-rated version of Reaper," Harrison says. "There's a lot of things you do on set before you shoot the actual taping that would be a lot of fun." To mark the second and final season's recent release on DVD, the pair also talked about why they wish the show had gone to hell.Mew. I will miss Ben most of all. How come he didn't get interviewed?! He's the BEST!
TVGuide.com: Reaper's season finale left us hanging. Viewers aren't sure where the show would have gone if it were renewed. Any guesses?
Harrison: I feel like we could have had a better finale but we were — to give the writers credit — we didn't necessarily know if we were coming back or not. I think there's some really good things to the finale. I really liked the idea that they were hinting at Andi, Missy Peregrym's character, that she was going to probably be a reaper in the next season. I thought there was some really good stuff. At the same time, we weren't able to necessarily answer a lot of questions that we probably wanted to.
TVGuide.com: What questions did you want answered?
Labine: I always wanted to know, especially by the time we got to the finale, how much Ben and Sock were going to fit into the whole reaping thing, and whether we would ever get to meet the devil, and work with the devil... and also at the end of the finale I really liked the idea that they opened up the whole heaven-and-hell aspect, and that Michael Ian Black was going to basically become Bret's guardian angel. I thought that could have been really cool, if they'd blown that out on a massive scale, made it more of a heaven-versus-hell storyline. But we'll never know.
TVGuide.com: We get asked a lot about Tyler's new show, Sons of Tucson. How's that going?
Labine: Great — the pilot turned out really, really well. Fox is really behind it. They've put us in an amazing timeslot after The Simpsons and before Family Guy, which is great, on their Sunday night Animation Domination bloc. We're clearly not an animated show, but whatever. I will be very, very animated on the show — like watching a Linklater film. We've been picked up for a midseason order, which is great too. ... We've got a really good show on our hands. It's a great character. It's not Sock, which is sad now, because I'm just mourning the death of Sock, but it's great to not be playing the same character.
TVGuide.com: And Bret, what's next for you?
Harrison: I'm doing reshoots on a movie I shot about six months ago called Mardi Gras for Sony Screen Gems and I'm just doing some development stuff, working with a few different writers on some projects. We're going to go into NBC and pitch after the end of the month.
TVGuide.com: This show was a big breakthrough for all the major characters except Ray Wise. How did it change your lives?
Labine: It was not a breakthrough for Ray, but it was a nice resurgence for Ray.
Harrison: Ray got a lot of love for this show. He should have gotten an Emmy. ... I mean, that said, it was great for all our careers. It was really cool for me because I was always kind of looked at as a half-hour guy. I would go into meetings and it was like, "Well, you know. You're a half-hour guy. You're a sitcom guy." ... This was a chance for me to do something different, and still there was a lot of comedy in it.
Labine: For me, I was kind of the king of the dipsh--s for failed hour-long shows. I'd been on a bit of a warpath with hour-long shows. ... You never know what show is going to hit people the right way and what show is the one that's going to open doors for you. But I'd been sort of working away for a long time in hour-long and honestly didn't know — I think a lot of us signed on to do the pilot because the script was good and Kevin Smith was attached. I'll do anything with Kevin. We shot the pilot, and lo and behold it was the one that did end up opening doors. I owe a lot to Reaper for letting me showcase things that a lot of other people wouldn't.

Garfunkel: A _______ Mix
If you guessed 'Labrador Retriever' to the above statement, you'd be wrong! I guess. Though I don't really think so. Let me explain...
I bought a BioPet DNA breed identification kit for the Funk a few months back and Robert and I finally got around to submitting it a few weeks ago. Yesterday I was giddy with glee to see the results envelope in my mailbox but I waited for Robert to get home so we could open it together. When the time finally came and we got to see just what kind of ears Garfunkel really has, we were flabbergasted to find that Lab was not listed as one of the five (that's right - five!) breeds on his result sheet! WTF?!! According to BioPet, Garfunkel is comprised of:
This is a black lab puppy:
And this is the Funk:
Eerily similar, no?
But BioPet wants me to believe that
+ 
+
+ 
+
= 
Really? Garfunkel does have a curly tail and erect-but-floppy ears, so I do see some traits of the listed dogs in him. But there has GOT to be some Lab, I tell you! Stupid $50 DNA test. You SUCK!
* One of Garfunkel's litter mates had a Mars Panel done and her DNA came back as part Chow Chow, part Australian Cattle Dog. So I guess the Chow Chow bit of the Funk's analysis is at least a wee bit correct. Weird. Who the frak knows what the puppies actually are?! Yeesh. (The Mars Panel is $125 so even if it's more reliable, I don't believe we will be purchasing one. Sorry, Funk. You'll just have to be a mutt of unknown origins!)

Only 30 Days to Go!
Wow! It hardly seems possible but as of today I only have one month until I'm forced by law to endure Robert slurping his popsicle. Right now I don't have to - but I do. 'Cause I'm nice like that. :o) I kid! (Not about the slurping though. He really does slurp like a fiend and it drives me bonkers!) What was my point in all this again... ?
Ah! That because today is the start of the 1-month countdown, I thought I'd take a moment and remind you all about our wedding site. The link has been on the left-hand sidebar for a while now but just in case you forgot about it and wake up in the middle of the night in a panic because you can't remember the side dish options for the pork, I wanted to refresh your memory and allay your fears! :o) You can check out our page at http://www.laurenandrobert.weddingpearl.com/welcome.asp - there you'll find info on the menu, venue, wedding party, proposal, etc. It's kept up-to-date; in fact, I just updated it with our vegetarian entree option so you know it's got the info you need! Give'r a look-see if you feel so inclined. It's a good time waster.

Wedding Shower!
My wedding party threw me a loverly bridal shower last Sunday so I simply must update you all on it! Even though you were probably already there. Or I've already told you about it. But whatever. :o) Fridays are definitely the worst days for me time-wise at work so I'm totally going to cheat and copy-and-paste an e-mail I sent to my sister, Michelle, about the shower. I'm sorry to be so tacky but it's either this or no post at all! Suck it up, people.
Okay, here we go:
"The shower was really great. I must admit I was a wee bit nauseous going into it because I just do NOT like being the center of attention. And events where different groups of people in your life have to mingle always stress me out. Never goes well. But on the flip side, I probably would have felt a little gypped had I not had a shower-y shower so I think, all things considered, everything went quite well. [My sister,] Melanie, of course, had everything decorated for the occasion - she had a big wall sign made for me, teal streamers and lanterns everywhere, flowers, photos (even my original birth announcement!), diamond ring napkin rings, little candy engagement rings and star confetti sprinkled everywhere. But nothing super over-the-top; it all looked very nice. Nora and Maria came early to help decorate and they also chipped in and made a lot of the food [imagine boring rundown of the specific kinds of food offered here].
All my aunts came, as well as Robert's mom and aunt, Cindy, Emily and my friend Gladys from work. There was little-to-no mingling, as was to be expected, and I actually spent most of my time visiting with Nora and Cindy. I talked to everyone, of course, but I hadn't seen my girlfriends in a while and sort of wound up chatting with them most often. I very much hope no one was offended or felt ignored or excluded. I was so glad everyone made a point of coming! I hope everyone had a good time. Social interactions are almost the most stressful element of functions like these but I'd give the shower a solid 7 or 8 out of 10.
We played a few games and those actually went over pretty well, too, I think. (It wasn't really a game-y kind of crowd...) There was a quiz on 'how well do you know the bride?' (answer: not well apparently! Boo.) and it was fun because Mel got Robert's answers, too. My favorite Q&A was this: When asked to answer which section of the bookstore I head to first, I said "But I don't go to bookstores! I shop online!! And if I ever do have to buy something in a real store, I usually make Robert go for me. Or with me." And Robert's answer was "Hmm, this is a tough one because Lauren doesn't really like to shop in stores. She usually shops online. If she does need to buy something at the bookstore, she usually has me go for her." We are SO meant to be!!! :o) Then there was a little word game and a Hershey kisses hunt but that was all. Then it was on to presents and then dessert! I HATE opening presents in front of people but I survived. I got some very nice gifts and the cards were all really sweet, too. [Insert play-by-play of gift unwrapping here].
Oh! Cindy made the most gorgeous cupcakes - she baked red velvet cupcakes and decorated them with cream cheese frosting and chocolate butterflies that she made herself... freehand!!! They had blue and orange wings and they were so frickin' cute!!!! And, naturally, absolutely delicious. Everyone loved them."
How's that for a summary? Pretty okay, right? On to the photos!

Movie Morsels 53 - Time Traveler's Wife
I absolutely LOVED The Time Traveler's Wife but it's definitely a book that people I talk to either love or hate. For me, it was one of those rare books I couldn't wait to read to see what happened next. And the book was indeed a bestseller which, of course, means a movie has been made. It's coming out this August and it stars Eric Bana (yum) and Rachel McAdams. I've heard that the movie is not so hot. It's been in the works for a while and was supposed to come out last year but was instead rewickered and is coming out in a month not known for great film debuts. This usually does not bode well. I don't care - my ass is seeing it! As is the rest of me. :o) And Robert.
The trailer came out a couple days ago - check it out:

Ayyyy! Puzzle 28: Body Switch Movies
I haven't done a puzzle for a while because, well, frankly I've just forgotten about them. But I stumbled across Ayyyy! this morning in my page history and caught a glimpse of this week's puzzle. And since it looks like one I can do, I thought I'd post it. :o) This week's puzzle is all about “Body Swap Movies” - you only have to ID the movie in question, not the actors in the image. As usual, answers will be posted on Wednesday and my guesses are in the comments.

Cisco Adler's Car
Violated by the Wedding Dress Industry
Yesterday I had to make the trek to Cupertino after work to have my first fitting in my wedding dress. First of all, let me just say it reminded me how much I don't miss commuting! It took me an hour and 10 minutes to get from Hayward to Cupertino. Crapola! But the dictators over at Bay Area Bridal absolutely insisted that I make the appointment on a weekday, since weekends are so busy I would not be allotted the time and attention needed. What a crock. I went in on a Saturday a few weeks back to pick up my sister's bridesmaid dress and there was no one there! And my other sister went in two weekends ago to get her dress and same deal. But the woman on the phone simply refused to make me a weekend appointment. So Wednesday it was.
Now, I expected the alterations to cost a fair amount. We who cannot sew are a captive audience and I understand this. And every vendor in the wedding industry will rip you off simply because they can. I understand this as well. But the total charge for my alterations came out to $285!!!!! Holy bejesus!!!! Are they sewing my dress back together with gold thread or WHAT?! They are charging me $150 for the hem alone! I realize I'm short but it's not like they're reinventing the wheel here! Lop off some fabric and fold it under! How is that worth $150?!!!! Were I the kind of person that stands up for myself in such situations I would've stormed out with my dress in tow and gotten an estimate elsewhere. As it was I just sat there and said "Okay!" and handed over my credit card. Ridiculous. The alterations will cost almost half as much as the dress itself! My brain is melting. I should've taken Robert's original advice and bought something from J. Crew...

Robert Story #146
One of my favorite Robert stories occurred several years ago while we were shopping at Target. The Target store here in Fremont has automatic doors and, as you would assume, this is the store at which we usually shop. One day, however, Robert and I were shopping at a different location (I can't really remember which one) and Robert was pushing the cart. He pushed it all the way up to the door and... nothing happened. So, he inched a little bit closer. Bupkus. He got right up to the door and still it refused to open! Why?! Well, because it wasn't an automatic door. Hello. I knew this, of course, but I so enjoyed watching Robert try to coax the door into opening by pushing the cart further and further toward the door. :o) And, of course, I tease him about it just about every time we go to Target. It makes me happy.
Fast forward to this morning. Robert toothpasted his Sonicare. Turned it on. Nothing happened. Oh, well, I take that back - it did make a 'bzzzzzz'ing noise. But the brush head didn't actually move. So, Robert turned it off... and tried it again. Still nothing. So he pushed the brush head into his teeth because, in his mind, THAT was clearly going to make the head start vibrating like it was supposed to. Surprisingly enough it didn't. Then Robert says to me "Dang. I dropped it yesterday." But did you push it into your teeth yesterday? 'Cause that might've fixed it. Maybe you waited too long. Maybe your gigantochompers have magical powers in the evening that they just don't have in the morning.

Colbert Report: Headin' to the Gulf!
As Robert knows (because he's heard me sing the song for many weeks now) I lurv the theme song to Stephen Colbert's segment 'Where in the World and When in Time is Stephen Colbert Going to Be in the Persian Gulf?' It's so darn catchy! Seriously. Check it out:
| The Colbert Report | Mon - Thurs 11:30pm / 10:30c | |||
| Where and When Is Stephen Going to the Persian Gulf? - Saudi Arabia | ||||
| ||||
(The best part about posting this on the blog? Now I can hear the song whenever I want! Forever!!! I just wish I could make it a ring tone...)
Well, it was revealed last night that Stephen will be going to Iraq and broadcasting from Baghdad all next week. The New York Times has the extended AP story:
Should be awesome! But it makes me sad... Now that Stephen has revealed where in the world and when in time he's going to be in the Persian Gulf, there will be no more WITWAWITISCGTBITPG segments. BOO!!!! :o( That really stinks.NEW YORK (AP) -- Stephen Colbert will broadcast four shows next week from Baghdad, where he says he'll be ''Bob Hoping'' it for the troops.
Colbert arrived at the former Al Faw Palace at Camp Victory on Friday. For weeks, he's promoted the trip on Comedy Central's ''The Colbert Report,'' but because the military urged caution, he has only trumpeted a vague trip to ''the Persian Gulf.''
The series of shows, each to be taped in front of an audience of about 450 troops, have been dubbed ''Operation Iraqi Stephen: Going Commando.'' It's the first time anyone has broadcast from Iraq for a USO tour.
Though Colbert has often infused his mock pundit character into real events -- the 2008 election, the 2006 White House Correspondents' Association dinner -- his Iraq trip isn't a parody.
Both the character Colbert (silent ''t'') and the real Colbert (pronounced ''t''), a Catholic family man, are ardent supporters of the troops. He has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Yellow Ribbon Fund (a charity that assists injured service members and their families), and he's a board member of DonorsChoose.org, which benefits the schools of military kids.
''Sometimes my character and I agree,'' Colbert said in an interview at his Manhattan office before leaving for Baghdad. ''My character and I both know the Apostles' Creed and my character and I both think it's a shame that we're not talking about the troops anymore.''
The trip came about when former Assistant Secretary of Defense Bing West suggested it after an interview last July on ''The Colbert Report.''
''He gave me this big ol' manly handshake and said, `If Gen. Petraeus invited you to do your show from Iraq, would you do it?''' recalled Colbert. ''And I thought, `Oh, an improviser would say yes without thinking.'''
Colbert was in the midst of the hectic presidential campaign coverage, but once the election passed, he checked back on the invitation -- this time with Gen. Raymond Odierno, the current commander of the forces in Iraq.
After months of planning, ''The Colbert Report'' is sending about 30 production staff (a third of the show's regular staff) to Iraq. The production restraints are steep, but Colbert is planning to do four shows, which will air Monday through Thursday next week at 11:30 p.m. EDT.
Colbert prepared for the trip by visiting Fort Jackson, S.C., for a very abbreviated basic training. He also drew on help from Tom Hanks to gather care packages for the troops. Guests on the shows will include Odierno and Barham Saleh, the deputy prime minister of Iraq.
Does he expect a tough crowd?
''I don't know,'' said Colbert. ''It's got both things going for it. One is, they're hungry for entertainment. But also, they have a whole vocabulary of existence that I haven't experienced yet.''
The shows' theme will be the declining attention paid to the war in Iraq. Colbert says he was spurred to make the trip when he noticed economic news coverage eclipsing reports from Baghdad.
Colbert said he feels a ''special guilt'' and responsibility to keep the soldiers' story alive because of the political nature of his program. The comedian is also guest editing next week's issue of Newsweek magazine. (A mock-up sits on his desk with the question ''Remember Iraq?'' splashed across the cover.)
''I don't want to forget that people are struggling through the things that I sometimes make jokes about,'' he said.
The 45-year-old comedian says he's not afraid of the danger of visiting Iraq (''I'm not a high value target''). Instead, he said he's only nervous about doing a good show for the troops.
''The show is always about me, it's always about the character,'' said Colbert. ''What's different about this is, it's really about them. If they laugh, I'll be completely satisfied.''

007 Popsicle
Hee! I just found this on EW.com and I think it's fantastic:
In honor of National Ice Cream Week in the UK, Del Monte Superfruit Smoothies has sculpted a limited edition popsicle in the shape of Daniel Craig's nude torso. The frozen treat -- said to come in blueberry, pomegranate, and cranberry flavors and be under 100 calories each -- is the result of a poll of more than 1,000 women, the majority of whom wanted the image of Craig, emerging from the water in Casino Royale, immortalized.
Yummers! And I mean that in ALL senses of the word. :o) A pomegranate-flavored replica of Daniel Craig's chiseled bod in my very own hands?!! Delectable! Delicious! A fabulous idea! (I'd probably be too embarrassed to eat such a confection anywhere outside the privacy of my own home but still... ) Stupid America. We never have any fun ice cream treats.
P.S. For a, ahem, naughtier take on the 007 'sicle, click here.
