Spoiled for Choice

How much must it suck to be the other girl in the Pepsi/Itunes commercial? You know. The one who isn't Mandy Amano. Since I've been living in a black hole this year, I hadn't even heard of Amano until today, but apparently her face and name are suddenly everywhere. She's having an official site made (smart), and the previously linked blog about her, in which she was initally known simply as "That Pepsi Girl," helped her get a spot in May's issue of Maxim magazine. Not bad for a chick whose only credit up to that point was "Dancing Girl in Bar" in Coyote Ugly.

She's the most popular Pepsi Girl since Hallie Eisenberg, and Jesus help us all if she ends up as overexposed.

And lastly -

Dear Other Girl:
Please don't take it personally that you had approximately 4 seconds more of screen time and were unable to capitalize on it. Fame, she is a fickle bitch.

Stupid CNN

Hey, CNN, "what's up with the quotation marks?" Regardless of whether the vehicle carrying Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena was targeted, or whether it was all a terrible accident, it is indisputable that Nicola Calipari threw his body over that of Giuliana Sgrena, and quite likely that this action saved her life.

I love technology. I was talking to my boyfriend on the phone while he was on his way to pick up the sushi that he'd ordered for dinner. He was asking me how to get to the street where the restaurant is located, and it took me entirely too long to realize that I should know how to get there, since one of my elementary schools is on that street. I was looking up the address on various online map services while he was driving, and found a web site for the restaurant, which thoughtfully provided absolutely no directions. I was able to give him the phone number of said restaurant, and since I haven't heard from him in 3 minutes, I'm going to assume that all is well. I love the internets.
