Laughing at Someone Else's Misery- March 17, 2004 I am a bad person. I am watching tonight&146;s (and by &147;watching&148; I mean &147;watched&148; and by &147;tonight&146;s&148; I mean &147;last nights&148;) episode of &147;America&146;s Next Top Model&148;, and Shandi is confessing to her boyfriend of four years that she cheated on him. This is a tragic moment in this couple&146;s relationship, and I cannot help but laugh. Shandi&146;s boyfriend has no dignity whatsoever. First, Shandi could not bring herself to...http://blogs.salon.com/0002079/2004/03/17.html#a127 Dog Blog- March 11, 2004 Melissa Brown get&146;s mad props for directing me to this dog blog .http://blogs.salon.com/0002079/2004/03/10.html#a126 Proposed Mix CD- March 8, 2004 So Bietz has posted a proposed mix cd.

A song you've listened to repeatedly when you were depressed at some point in your life. Sinead O&146;Connor &150; &147;The Last Days of Our Acquaintance&148; 3.
