What an awesome name for a lottery.  Why mess around with clever titles.  Cut to the chase.  It&#8217;s big.  Bigger than Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Donald Trump, yes, I have been watching The Apprentice Los Angeles.  I know I am the only one in the world who is watching it so I feel pressured to let you all know that last week&#8217;s reward for the winning team was to create a song with Snoop Dogg.  Please let lame business people NEVER EVER EVER try to rap again.  Snoop&#8217;s posse was all <i>holy shit I know it&#8217;s Donald Trump and we&#8217;re on TV and all, but seriously can we kick these peoples&#8217; asses?  please Snoop?<\/i> and Snoop was all <i>Nope.  I&#8217;ve got my reasons.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Speaking of mind-bendingly awful television, yesterday I turned on TYRA and got Jon Stewart instead.  I think Jon Stewart is pretty awesome.  But &#8211; and I feel ashamed typing this &#8211; where is my Crazy?  I need my Crazy.  Without my Crazy, how do I get to feel more sane?  Jon Stewart does not help me feel more sane.  <\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Kill Me Now, I am Obviously Not Fit to Live on this Planet Amongst You, I watched 30 minutes of the first episode of the Pussycat Doll reality show.  I watched until 12 of the 18 semi-finalists came down with pukey virus (no, I did NOT need to see actual vomit spewing from the mouth of a heavily made up teenager and splashing into a toilet bowl; I have been to the Blarney Stone [local Irish pub beloved on weekends by hoardes of college kids] on a saturday night, thank you) and then I realized that unless they bring on the finalists of The Apprentice to perform a freestyle battle against the finalists of The Next Doll I have no need to turn that show back on ever.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I have been receiving the plaintive cry of the emo-spam0r for a few days now in my comments (I suppose because this is what spam0rs think of bloggers, s\/he keeps trying and trying with the same maudlin words):<\/p>\n<p><i>I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve basically been doing nothing worth mentioning, but so it goes. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve just been letting everything pass me by lately. I feel like a bunch of nothing. Maybe tomorrow. I haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t gotten anything done for a while. My life\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been completely bland today, but pfft.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Apparently, if I go to emo-spam0r&#8217;s website, I can purchase all the hanky-panky-enhancing and mood-altering drugs I want, at a fraction of the retail price!  Heal thyself, emo-spam0r! Pfft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday I received an email telling me I had won 413 thousand British Pounds in the UK BIG LOTTERY.
