Well that was nice and pointless.

I have no clue how journalists ever get quotes from major corporations if their flunkies can't so much as tell me how many units of Britney's new album they're stocking. *rolls eyes* In short, the informative piece I was going for about Britney has turned human interest rather quickly. afropuff? Up for a discussion tonight?

I can't get Toxic out of my head. It's fantastically fun.

( More detailed thoughts on In the Zone )

I wrote yet more about her today, image and music and transcendence and cultural icons and her influence, for better and worse. Endlessly fascinating stuff, with which I talked Jon's ear off over dinner.

Wrote some more on the Bassez, too. There might be an actual story here, not just the one scene with which it began.

My Amazon wish list continues to grow, with the release of the extended remix of Two Towers and Britney's In the Zone, as well as Bend It Like Beckham and Justin's DVD. It's called Christmas, self, be strong. Or Thanksgiving! What? It's a holiday.

Speaking of which, the darling pilgrim salt & pepper shaker commercials are back in rotation. Love those! I finally found a pair for my parents last year - it's all anyone we had over for dinner could talk about.

Having had my last of the popup-laden, crash-prone Internet Explorer, I downloaded myIE2 last night. *falls at its creators' feet* Not only are there no more ads, it imported all my bookmarks, and it doesn't reboot if Millenium Edition hiccups and it saves all my open pages so even if there is a problem, I don't have to go hunting through the History folder and days back on the friendslist. *hugs it tight* Very recommended.

Also, this is a big, big GIP. *snogs Miranda* My idea but at the end of the day, she's the one with the skillz.
