Erik has a highly contagious disease.

It’s called Extremeshopitis. I was in Old Navy at the Eaton Centre for well over an hour last night mulling over what to buy a certain relation of mine for Christmas. All boys seem to need (nice) clothes. I was successful, (only purchasing one thing for myself like I do at Christmas time), gave my money to a very cheerful Irish bloke, and left the store only to notice (20 minutes later) that one of the electric security tags was still on one item. Now I understand that stores are only trying to prevent shoplifting, but this happens to me all the time, and the alarm never goes off when I leave! I usually don’t notice the tag until I’m home, so I have to haul my ass back to the store, and try not to look guilty when I ask them to remove it. They always give me a funny look. Always.

The (only) good thing about Buffy being totally over, is that the cast and crew have all moved on to other projects, and while none of these come even close to the fabulousness that is Buffy, there are always things to get excited about. So last night on the Gilmore Girls Rory noticed Paris all dolled up (very unlike her) and ready to go out. Rory: It’s 11pm! It’s late? Where are you going? Paris: I’m going out to meet people. Rory: Who are you going to meet at 11 pm? Spike and Drusilla? (Paris ended up in bed with none other than Danny Strong.) That totally made my night.

My book was shipped from the UK today. If it makes it here before Christmas I’ll be ecstatic!

And because no day is complete without a little Robbie Williams:

“ I‘m a born entertainer – when I open the fridge door and the light comes on, I burst into a song. “

Q: “You’ve been through a period where…”
Rob: “Where I really enjoyed myself!”
Q: “I didn’t want to put it this way! … with drugs and that stuff… how did you get out of it?”
Rob: “I lost all the phone numbers to my dealers!” (radio RPR, 3.11.98)
Q: Is it true that you have a tiger tattooed on your willy.
Rob: no.
Q: How can you prove that?
Rob: There's no room for it because of the giraffe....
Q: If you were on a desert island with an ugly woman or a cute guy which one would you sleep with?
Rob: The guy, but I would have the woman watch.
Rob: No... (grabs his head) ... just kidding. I wouldn't do that. (Shaking his head emphatically, serious like). I would just sleep with the bloke. The woman could cook. (Someone just said "sounds like an evening out with the Beckhams")

"An awful lot of gay pop stars pretend to be straight. I’m going to start a movement of straight pop stars pretending to be gay. That’s very important in this day and age."
