TODAY IN BLOG IDEAS:
All this hubbub (from 3 friends ) about my pics of my boyfriend makes me realize that is would be funny to do a blog where I treated pictures of my boyfriend like pictures of babies - Don't moms with new babies do that all the time? Like put up a new picture of the baby everyday and tell stories about what the baby is doing like we all care? Imagine that, but with Justin.
I think that's hilarious.
it's in the works.

TODAY IN THE BEST NEWS STORY EVER:
My friend sent me this email concerning Levi Johnston (Bristol Palin's baby daddy)'s mom's entrepreneurship.
Subject: it just gets better.....
Gosh, now what's something that a clever "go getter" kinda hockey mom could make right from home and sell to make a little extra cash, like a cottage industry ya know. It'd have to be something that there'd be a market for in a small town, where people with small town values are. I just dunno, so Im just gonna take a guess at it - Apple Pies?
NOPE:

WASILLA -- A 42-year-old Wasilla woman was arrested Thursday at her home by Alaska State Troopers with a search warrant in an undercover drug investigation. Sherry L. Johnston was charged with six felony counts of misconduct involving a controlled substance.
Johnston is the mother of Levi Johnston, the Wasilla 18-year-old who received international attention in September when Gov. Sarah Palin and her husband, Todd, announced their teenage daughter was pregnant and he was the father. Bristol Palin, 18, is due on Saturday, according to a recent interview with the governor's father, Chuck Heath.
Troopers served the warrant at Johnston's home at the "conclusion of an undercover narcotics investigation," said a statement issued Thursday by the troopers as part of the normal daily summary of activity around the state.
Troopers charged Johnston with second-degree misconduct involving a controlled substance -- generally manufacturing or delivering drugs -- as well as fourth-degree misconduct involving controlled substances, or possession.
Troopers released no other information, including the kind or amount of drugs, because details could jeopardize an ongoing investigation, spokeswoman Megan Peters said.
Asked how long the investigation had proceeded before Johnston's arrest, Peters would only say "a while."
The Palmer District Attorney's office had no comment.
Sherry Johnston was arrested around noon and booked at Mat-Su Pretrial Facility, according to a booking officer there. She was released on a $5,000 unsecured bond just after 2 p.m.
No charging documents had been filed at Palmer courthouse by the end of the day, a clerk said.
Levi Johnston sat with Bristol and the rest of the Palin family in St. Paul, Minn., during Gov. Palin's speech to the Republican National Convention, and he joined the family on the stage afterwards.
When asked about the arrest, Palin's spokesman, Bill McAllister, issued the following statement by e-mail: "This is not a state government matter. Therefore the governor's communications staff will not be providing comment or scheduling interview opportunities."
Johnston didn't come to the door of her home on Caribou Loop Road outside Wasilla on Thursday afternoon. A teenage boy who answered the door said he couldn't provide any information.
SHUT UP!!! I LOVE ALASKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TODAY IN DAVID MAMET DOES SOMETHING THAT I DON'T WANT TO PUNCH HIM FOR!
Jeremy Piven has just dropped out of the Broadway production of "Speed the Plow", which was enjoying a healthy run (Justin saw it and said it was OK) and was slated to end in February '09. Piven is citing "health issues". The Mamet said this:
"I talked to Jeremy on the phone and he told me that he discovered that he had a very high level of mercury. So my understanding is that he is leaving show business to pursue a career as a thermometer."
Nice one DM.

TODAY IN A LETTER I WROTE TO MY HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANY. MERRY CHRISTMAS!:
Hey guys,
My bill says I owe $514 for Jan 1. My health insurance is $257 a month. Please explain to me why I owe $514? I called last week and asked what I owed because my bill showed $0 and I was concerned because I felt that this was wrong. I was planning to pay $257 on the 19th of this month. Now I see that somehow I owe $514. Rest assured, I will pay what is owed, but there is no way in hell I am going to pay an extra month before Jan 1 if the woman I talked to, who got very snippy with me when I repeated that I didn't understand why my bill was at 0 despite me not getting snippy with her for being a red-neck ass-hole dip-shit moron with terrible grammar, was wrong.
By the way, thanks so much for once again changing providers so that my monthly payment now covers much less then it did in the past year, just like it covers less then the year before that! Only generic drugs? Sweet! That'll really keep me on my toes! Good thing I'm allergic to penicillin- bet that's not covered at all!
Hey. Some people don't have health insurance at all. I'm one of the lucky ones. And it's so funny, ha ha, cause a lot of people knew about a month ago that they weren't going to be able to afford Christmas, but me...gosh, I had a naive belief that I was! Ha ha you know what they say...it's better to think you are going to get Christmas and then have it taken away, then to never think you are going to get Christmas at all!
In closing, I am beginning to not trust you guys at all. I am beginning...I hate to accuse you of this....I am beginning to think you don't have my best interests in mind.
But good news! You will get the payment of $257 on Friday and another payment a month later. I refuse to incur late fees. You can't get blood from a stone, right guys? Not even if you try to beat me to death with it! Ha ha..yah, I knew you were thinking that...but no monthly fees will get paid then, huh guys?
And hey, I am already really looking forward to the deductibles I am going to have to pay for the first two months of this new insurance. I really really love paying pointless money for something that I already have. It's awesome. I would recommend to give me a straight answer about this if you want to keep me as a client.

TODAY IN OJ SIMPSON GOT 15 YEARS IN JAIL:
Here are an array of quotes from my coworkers and I as we found out that OJ is getting put away.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"
"I will be in my 40's when he gets out of jail. That is awesome."
"And hey, now we don't have to worry about him murdering us. That was always a risk." "I worried about that every day of my life. "what if OJ kills me today?"" "That was like number 7 on my list of worries. Now 7 has been replaced by fear of bears".
"Oh no! Who's going to look for Nicole's killer now?"

TODAY IN SUBWAY STRANGERS:
We all hate people, especially people we don't know. And of course, we most hate people we don't know on the subway because we might be trapped in a moving box or underground station with a scary starer, over talker, smelly belly, train pusher-underer, or just your everyday psychopathic teenager (why are they so loud??!!).
So imagine my horror this morning on the C train platform (little known fact- the C is the G train of blue trains!) when out of the corner of of eye I realized there was a stranger standing directly. behind. me.
They were about as far away from me as a boyfriend might stand behind a girlfriend right before he protectively throws an arm around her belly OR a train pusher-underer right before they psychotically throw a pushing you on to the train arm out.
Now, There was plenty of room on the station platform on either side, and so this was a disturbing, even threatening move by this stranger (with or with out candy. I didn't/don't care).
I turned my head slightly to get a better look. The stranger, out of the corner of my eye, appeared to be a short, teen or early 20's Asian girl. For obvious reasons this deepened my terror. I knew I had to act. My heart pounded as I spun around and faced....
...the giant head of Will Smith on a Seven Pounds movie poster 6 feet away from me.
Well, you can see why I was confused:
Oh wait. No you can't. That doesn't make any sense.
Even worse, five seconds later I was fooled again.
Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon? If you have please post at:
IthoughWillSmithWasanAsianStrangerStandingBehindMe.com
STARTLING UPDATE: Today at my office two late teens/early 20's Asian woman I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE walked into my room and stood for MORE THEN FIVE MINUTES in my blind spot talking quietly to themselves.
I want you to know that I reached into my pen cup slipped a pair of scissors into my lap JUST IN CASE. I am not kidding. The scissor handles are blue.

TODAY IN WHY IS PHAEA SUCH A NARC?:
Lots of people have been "asking" me why I haven't posted since Oct. The answer of course is that I was called into action by my country to train monkeys(on an island) to be able to recognize important pop culture stories and write "email blasts" and "twitter explosions" about said stories.
And now even though these "monkeys" will put many many bloggers out of work, (aha you sport blog writers say, "sports are NOT pop culture I am safe!"- alas, I must remind you that sports were officially declared pop culture by the New York Post in 1986), it was my duty to my beloved mother land (Macedonia) and I had to serve my time.
It's treason otherwise people.
But I am back and soon I will be posting again to fill your days with the one remaining blog that survives the monkey scourge, ala Forest Gumps shrimpin' boat, Jenny.
Good Day.
(can anyone tell I've been reading John Hodgman? I can!)
