Praise Baby Jesus! Guess what restaurant just opened in Sydney? My all-time favorite London eatery – Wagamama! We are so there.

Dan Devine, one of Notre Dame’s great football coaches, has died. Unless I’m mistaken, he was the coach for Rudy‘s famous game.

I do not eat nor drink blue things. And I can’t imagine many of you would either. *shudder*

The next Harry Potter has again been delayed. Ugh, this is turning into a Dark Tower situation. Stephen King should call up J.K. Rowling and tell her that getting harrassed by your fans is no fun. Perhaps that’d be the kick in the ass she needs.

(Sidenote: That Dark Tower link was meant as a throwaway, but it’s actually really informative about the books if you’re into them. Recommended.)

Two occurrences of note today:

1. Café Moda has finally opened! That’s the place directly below us. We went there for breakfast, and George the owner gave us free coffee as thanks for putting up with all the noise over the past two months.
2. Snookums has a job! Granted, it’s sort of “trial” right now, but if he does well with this first project they’ve given him, it might be more permanent! And guess what he’ll be working on? Oh yeah – one of the Australian Spider-Man promotions! How cool is that??

Star Wars.com has redesigned! Keep hitting refresh to see all of the different Attack of the Clones promo shots. Snookums and I were amazed to see free postcards with these images at our corner coffee shop the other day. (As you might guess, they now adorn our refrigerator.) And finally, woohoo! Exactly one week til the premiere!

Remember how some of you sponsored me in the Walk Against Want in March? My walk was peanuts. My good friend Tara D is doing a massive three-day, sixty-mile walk for breast cancer research next month. That’s almost a marathon a day! It’s called the Breast Cancer 3-Day, and she’s almost halfway to her funding goal. Did I mention that this is a good cause and that Tara D is a really amazing person for doing this? You should go sponsor her right now. I did!

Kevyn Aucoin died. That sucks. I don’t have any of his books, but I have spent quite a bit of time flipping through them in bookstores. He had to be the only “name” makeup artist in the world. He was even on an episode of Sex and the City!

Another important piece of my childhood has fallen by the wayside. The WWF is now the WWE. That story makes it sound like the World Wildlife Fund was being all unreasonable and litigious, though, when I thought that the wrestlers were the first ones to sue over copyright. *shrug* Oh well. Excuse me while I put on my Cyndi Lauper and reminisce about the Junk Yard Dog, Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, and of course, George the Animal Steele.

No more Celebrity Jeopardy. It is a sad, sad day.
