  Coldcut at Opera House. This was Coldcut last Friday at the Opera House in Toronto. I was there. Good show. I'm surprised the sound is that good, considering how loud it was. Too bad it's so dark and he didn't zoom in.

  What Is the Best Work of American Fiction of the Last 25 Years? - New York Times What Is the Best Work of American Fiction of the Last 25 Years? - New York Times

They can't be that great. Only 2 (by my rough knowledge of movies) of 27 have been made into movies.  ¶ 2:46 PM 0 Comments Links to this post

  Girl, 11, will be Britain's youngest mother Should I laugh or cry?

Honestly, I don't think you can make up quotes like:

She told the Sun: "I didn't think I'd get pregnant because it was my first time."

The girl, who has been suspended from her first year of secondary school for fighting, said: "I was paranoid about what my mum was going to say and just frightened about being pregnant too. I was upset and so was my mum, especially as she'd just had my wee brother."

The girl, who has shoulder-length dark hair, began smoking at nine and started drinking tonic wine and vodka cocktails at ten. She laimed her cigarette habit was not harming the health of her unborn child. She said: "I can give up smoking at any time, but I don't find it affects my pregnancy."

  Lost - poor Libby died Poor Libby died last night. I was hopeful she would live, but not very. It's hard to be gutshot twice on an island without medical facilities and live.

I was right. Michael is a double agent.

  Lost's freakiest ending OK, I almost lost it at the end of Lost last night. I thought my eyebrows couldn't go any higher after the first shot, but somehow they did.

1) Ana Lucia has to be dead. Can't take a bullet to the heart and not live. Otherwise, it's cheating. I don't care how good a surgeon Jack is.

2) Libby. Saveable. (I hope, she's cute). Two gut shots. People have recovered from worse.

3) Michael. Hmm, might have winged himself, which leads me to:

Hypothesis 1: Michael. is now a Secret Agent for the Others. Him and Henry(?) will now make their escape. The rest presume Michael was wounded and taken away. Only works if Libby dies. Otherwise, they know.

Hypothesis 2: WTF is going on? I have no idea. This show is mental.

I hope next week is new.
