Make Love! The Bruce Campbell Way

On Wednesday, July 6th, Bruce Campbell, the star of such cult classics as The Evil Dead, Army of Darkness, and The Adventures of Brisco County Jr., will be in town signing his latest book Make Love! The Bruce Campbell Way before showing his new movie "Man with the Screaming Brain" at the River Oaks Theatre. I missed him when he was in town signing If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a "B" Movie Actor and I've regretted it ever since.

Bruce is talking and doing a Q&A at 6:00, with the signing around 6:40. "Man with the Screaming Brain" will then be shown at 10:00. More information can be found at the Murder by the Book signing page. Seating is limited for the speaking engagement, so I'm going to try and arrive around 5:00 or so.

If anyone is interested in going, e-mail me at kymberlie AT neuroticfishbowl.com so I can keep an eye out for you.

Like My Body?

I never watch award shows, those watching the American Music Awards last night got to see Anna Nicole Smith introduce rapper Kanye West smashed out of her gourd.

Luckily, thanks to the Internet, you can watch it here. Apparently she flubbed her lines because of bad eyesight not because she was drunk or on drugs. Yeah, I talk like that when I don't have my contacts in too.

And after a bottle of vodka.

Amazon.com Associates Change

If you're like me and have an Amazon.com Associates Account, you've probably done all your shopping through your own referral link. However, they've made a change to the rule that now you don't get credit for anything you buy through your own links. (I figured this out when I had almost $20 deducted from my account. Ouch!) Feel free, then, to shop though this link or through the Amazon.com search box located in the sidebar.

Just a little public service announcement from me to you.

Apple of My Eye

Gwyneth Paltrow has named her new baby daughter Apple. All I can say is poor thing. Seriously, who names their daughter after a piece of fruit?

The Heroic Century

My best friend Jeanna e-mailed me today to remind me that The Museum of Fine Arts Houston is having a new exhibit - The Heroic Century. Included in the exhibit will be Vincent van Gogh's The Starry Night, Claude Monet's Water Lilies, and Salvador Dali's The Persistence of Memory.

It's a hell of an opportunity to see many pieces that you'll never have the chance to see again, so if you live in Houston or are nearby, I would highly suggest making your attendance a high priority. The exhibit starts September 21st of this year and runs until January 4, 2004.

A Bear of a Different Color

Another great image from MSNBC's Week in Pictures!

Pelusa, a 14-year-old female polar bear, sticks her paw through the bars of her cage July 21 at the Mendoza Zoo, northwest of Buenos Aires. Normally white, Pelusa turned violet after veterinarians administered a medicine to treat her for a skin condition. Her veterinarians said her coat should turn normal again within a month.

Colorful Fish

I subscribe to MSNBC's Week in Pictures. The images are always breathtaking and I highly recommend signing up for their notification list.

This week one of the images was of multicolored parrotfish in an aquarium. I literally went, "Wow!" when I opened the picture up. I had no idea that parrotfish could be such a wide variety of colors! Isn't it great? (Click for bigger version.)

Talk to the Animals

Ever wonder what your cat is saying? Well, the Meowlingual may be just the thing for you.

According to the Japanese company that makes it, by having your cat meow into a microphone on the device, owners will be provided with a literal translation of what their cat has to say.

I'll predict Bella's most often used phrases right now: "Feed me! Don't pet me! Can't you ever just let me sleep? Where's my shmousie (fur covered mouse toy)? Stop putting me near my box! I don't need to go!"

New Look for eBay

This is a guest post from Carla of andshesaid.com.

Have you been surfing around eBay lately? You may have noticed that eBay is previewing a new look that will make it's debut this summer. If you haven't seen it, you can see for yourself. I say it's long overdue. It's been a long time since eBay's made some usable improvements. At least now you'll be able to see the image and bid right at the top of the page.

I have to say the guest posters are doing a good job while Kymberlie is gone... At least I think so. I've been waiting for a moment to post when there wasn't much going on but everyone's on the ball.

Junior Varsity?

Steven's back here watching Fox News and one of the reporters just said, I shit you not, that Israel was part of the "junior varsity Axis of Evil." The junior varsity? Man, Israel must be so crushed! You know their mother would have been so proud if they had made varsity and gotten a letter! How sad for them!

Cinderella Dreams

About 350 girls will be able to attend their prom in style thanks to donations of dresses, shoes, and other accessories.

I remember my prom as one of the most magical nights of my life. I looked beautiful, my dress was gorgeous, and Project Prom (a lock-in at my school with all kinds of great food, games, prizes, and fun) was a blast. Everyone should get to go to their prom. It was wonderful to see how happy these girls are to go to theirs.

How About We Call It "Here's My Real Agenda" Day?

Oh my fucking god. Bush declares National Sanctity of Human Life Day.

Bush, who has supported various abortion restrictions, called on all Americans on Sunday to "reaffirm the value of human life and renew our dedication to ensuring that every American has access to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

What the fuck? Can this administration make their stance on women any clearer? If Bush really thinks that "(e)very child is a priority and a blessing, and I believe that all should be welcomed in life and protected by law," he is even more of a nutcase than I thought.

I am seriously beginning to think that this is the year that Roe v. Wade will be overturned.

How much longer as a country can we survive with this man as president? How many civil liberties and freedoms must we lose? How I wish I could be unconcerned with all of this and just live my life. How I wish I could just stick my head in the sand and pretend it doesn't exist.

Get Your Money Back

Surprise, surprise! Turns out the music industry is guilty of price fixing CDs. Who'd have thought? The good news, though, is that if you bought a CD between 1995 and 2000 you are elligbile to be part of the class action lawsuit. You can get $20 back by going and filing a claim. It's not much money, but it's better than nothing and I personally would like to see the recording industry lose a little money.

Remember, They're Permanent

Some poor teenager thought he was getting a tattoo that said, "Love, honour, and obey" and instead it said, "At the end of the day, this is an ugly boy." Read the full story here.

Remember, folks, those things are permanent. It's best if you're getting a tattoo in a foreign language to bring along someone who speaks it.

My mother sent me a link today to send your name to Mars (she had already signed up me, my dad, herself, my brother, my brother's girlfriend, and Steven; she's so sweet). When the Mars Rovers go up, they will contain DVD discs with all of the names collected. So far 2,999,665 names have been collected. You have until November 15th to add your name, so go sign up!

Obscene Content

Every time I see this photo, what really catches my attention is how it says, "EDITORS NOTE OBSCENE CONTENT" under the picture because then, of course, it's too late to not look and get offended.
