Blago Grafitti cropping up in Chicago

At a time Illinois wishes the bastard would just disappear, he's now turning up in reality tv, gossip pages, and your local alley.

Now is the time to work at a blockbuster

That would be pretty sweet.

Paper Heart trailer

Sometimes movies seem like they've been genetically enhanced for me to like them. My heart just says, "awwwww". I can't help it.

My dad is a Youtube Star!

My sister edited a video of my dad crossing logs with his motorcycle. My sister has gotten pretty good at this.

Open Letter To The Member of Blur:

Dear Damon, Alex, Graham, and Dave;

I'm a little frustrated with the lack of U.S. news for you guys. I know that I haven't been a fan for long, but I barely missed the boat on the U.S. tour in 2003. I have spent the last (almost) six years kicking myself, for not being on that boat sooner.

You have to come to America. Soonish. I live in a major American city (Washington, DC) and can get to many other major American cities.

I am an American, like others, who love your entire catalog. Not just a few singles I heard on MTV. A very big fan. As in I don't think that between October 2003-October 2004 I heard any music that wasn't somehow involved with Blur or its members.

And you are still my "favorite" band. And yet no U.S. plans? No peep, no acknowledgment that there are other countries besides the U.K. that love you? What do I have to do?

Love,
Celia
