And speaking of celebrity, which I so rarely do . . .

My good friend Snappymack recently introduced a few of her devotees to this blog-esque site, 5ives. I cannot begin to do it justice, yet aspire to emulate its clever, observational style--in five phrases or fewer, no less.

The recent post on Britney and Kevin is indeed a five-faceted Scandinavian snowball ring of trenchant social commentary and deep-from-the-belly chuckles. What more could one want in a blog? Other than fewer words?

Oops, I did it again! My friend The Escape Artist, a regular reader and supporter of this blog, reminded me that she had told me about 5ives some months ago. I really gotta read my email more carefully. Sorry 'bout that, chief!

The point is, though, that any blog that regularly makes sly and funny references to Morrissey and the Smiths is worth the bits and bytes it's written on.

For example, "How Soon Is Now?" as a drunken sing-a-long--

There's a club, if you'd like to go/
You could meet somebody who really loves you/
So you go, and you stand on your own/
And you leave on your own/
And you go home, and you cry/
And you want to die

Hee hee hee. I can't wait until Britney and Kev's baby (erm, babies) starts to request that little nursery rhyme.
