White House Correspondent's Dinner 2006

One of my all-time favourites...

Drink-a-drink-a-drink, 2 Lilly the Pink...

Shut Up, He Explained.

Actually, that is a signature of somebody on some forum. The title. What I noticed, however, is that I haven't written anything meaningful in quite a while (my calculation of times). Haven't really corresponded with anyone lately. Well, of course I have... However, it feels like work... I have to force myself do it. Why? Well, I have this feeling everything has been said already. Over and over. So I would have to make up words to really say something that hasn't already been said to death. And what happens to me in my everyday life is so unbelievable that nobody would believe me. Plus nobody wants to hear those sad stories anyway. Here's a sample (literally, in a way): the iPhone has begun selling Friday evening, and people really went nuts. Well, some people. Queuing up days in advance for a phone is nuts (my calculation of times). I've been browsing the net to get some first hand impressions in order to see how this iPhone thingy lives up to the hype surrounding it. Among other things I learned that Playboy has created an iPhone section in order to participate - and as an introductory offer, offered free videos, wallpapers and podcasts (the iPhone also functions as an iPod). Always out for sampling material, I paid a visit to PBdotCOM to check out the podcasts, and I was shocked. I mean, Miss August 2004 and Miss March 2001 managed to absolutely say nothing within the fifteen minutes I managed to listen until I went deaf. "You know, some fun in the sun, the sun is out you know..." "It is hot as hell in August! I was, I was... wait, wait - I said this wrong at a party at The Mansion recently, I said I was svitz... I was smutzing, which I found out means dirty! Do you know any Yiddish?" "....mhno..." "I was switzing, which means sweating my ass off, because it'S so freakin' hot." "Mh." "It's been soo hot, like I live in the valley, and it's wor... it's not warm, it's HOT." "See, I like the heat but I like the tropical heat, I like..." "Yah, tropical's different" and so on. They managed to get to the topic of global warming uttering words (sentences even!) like "Within this decade, the ice glaciers will have all melted! Polar bears are drowning!" "Have you seen An Inconvenient Truth, that Al Gore movie?" "I wanna watch it!" "That, right there, says it all!" "And it's very - I believe in global warming! I mean tell meee why... we're having the heat...waves that we're having" "I'm scared literally with the, that that movie Inconvenient Truth um, I'm just sad for, like for instance I'm like 'Mum you have to watch it! You've got to get the hell out of Florida, because they were saying in I-dough-I-bin... not ten years from now, but... sooner or later, that like literally Florida... South Florida will be covered in water, up until the Oakachobee [does she mean Okeechobee?] lake, which sucks because all my favorite beaches - South Beach? No more!" "Yeah. Now it's gonna be the Oakachobee beach!" "You know, you can be topless in South Beach!" "Well now you have to be topless in Oakachobee". "HAHAAA! It's a little too country there!" "Yah! If those ice glaciers melt, where's all that water gonna go? Oh! Over the land - like that's what's gonna happen!" "Crazy!" "And, it's reality, you know..." or "You know, I mean, ... I - I don't know!" or "... I don't think she left him because she, you know, he was behaving like John Pope............. Pope John! (hehe) you know (hehe) like, John the Pope ..." "Hoodoowho?" and so on. You know, I'm still trembling from hearing all this, and writing it down makes it even harder - and that's why.
