Evil
Even though I am Someone Who Is Falling Apart, I still find time to enjoy watching other people throw away their dignity. Thank goodness for reality TV. Did anyone else catch Anything For Love on FOX last nite? Man, those people were train wrecks. For SWIFA, this stuff is better than heroin.

Speaking of falling apart, I picked up How To Lose Friends and Alienate People from the bookstore today. It's a memoir about some dude who goes thru a rough patch. From the back cover:

High-flying British journalist Toby Young set out for New York to become a contributing editor at Vanity Fair. Other Brits had taken Manhattan, so why couldn't he?

But things didn't go according to plan. Within the space of two years he was fired from Vanity Fair, banned from the most fashionable bar in the city, and couldn't get a date for love or money. Even the local AA group wanted nothing to do with him.

------
Toby Young was born in 1963. In the course of his career as a journalist he has been fired from a succession of prestigous newspapers and magazines, including the Times of London, the Guardian, the Independent, and Vanity Fair. He lives in London.

Lastly, and completely unrelated, I just want to mention that as I was walking thru the park today, I saw two dogs humping ferociously.
