Waiting for a haircut last night I had a tough decision to make: Should I read Cosmopolitan or Us Magazine? I have a feeling that the selection is pretty much limited to whatever the stylists bring in and, unfortunately for me, none of them are big on science. Or cars. Or heck, I would even have taken a "Better Homes and Gardens".
20 minutes later, I knew all there was to know about the "Big Sunglasses" fad that has been sweeping parts of.. well, Hollywood and small parts of Manhattan. Mostly those parts that Mary-Kate Olsen currently occupies. Plus, there was an entire feature article on Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's new fling. They had a psychologist's commentary on the body language of the couple, with comparisons to Cruise's last partners.
Did I mention that I hate Tom Cruise with a passion? It's not that I want to see him dead, but I wouldn't be too bleary-eyed if someone crammed an e-meter down his throat and beat him to death with one of his own Golden Globes. (They're pretty pointy as I recall.. An Oscar would be better but he hasn't won any.) I would accept a car wreck, though, I'm not picky.
Brittney Spears has the "healthy glow of pregnancy" to her.
And on.
And on.
Hey, speaking of pregnant, here's a page on self-replicating robots. Now we just need to arm them.
Daily Show on blogs -- I can't for the life of me identify that one CNN "blogger chicka"'s accent. British? Is use of the word 'chicka' especially damning?

Magazines in hair salons are frequently used to provide examples of hairstyles - I don't think car and science magazines have much for fashionable hairstyles.

This seriously had not even occured to me.
That should speak volumes.
