For any friends looking to redecorate

Casting Call: See if this sounds like you. You desperately want to re-design that room in your place that's always been a thorn in your side, but whoever you live with has some distinctly different ideas of what to do. Without coming right out and saying your housemate clearly has no taste, you've decided it's better to do nothing at all. Well - check this out. A&E has a new series and they're looking for couples like you (any kind of couples), eager for an accomplished designer to help you get over these little hurdles. You even get to check out the designer's work before throwing your name into the hat - www.44blue.com/design.

I'm a lady

The news said it was gonna be 67 degrees today, and I said, "Fuck, I'm not wearing jeans in this weather!" But my legs aren't quite shaved, so I opted for a long skirt and cool pantyhose, which means I can't wear sneakers, so I'm in very sexy but very painful pointy-toed heels. I even wore makeup. I'm a real girl!

jaina picked up Kingdom Hearts II last night, and we played for a bit, interrupted by VMars. So far it's not drawing me in as much as the first one did. The opening games and tasks on Destiny Island felt like a puzzle and got you prepared for the rest of the game. The stuff in Twilight Town is more along the lines of "Do irritating things to get used to the controls." Also? No VO credits in the book. WTF. And David Boreanaz? What the shit are you doing that's so important that you can't stop in at a recording studio to play Leon again? Huh? Don't even tell me Bones, you were still playing Angel when the first game came out.

And yet, hee Stitch and Mulan are coming up at some point and I have faith that they won't let me down.
