The Blair Underwood Project

There are so many things I love about Blair Underwood. I love his name. I love his hair. Need I mention the "Sister, I'm Sorry project"? I love the fact that he rode into his own wedding amount a trusty steed. I love my memories of the 80s and watching LA Law. And now, psychic Sylvia Browne, in her weekly Wednesday appearance on Montel Williams, has given me a whole new reason to love Blair Underwood. He wrote a book, the subject of high, high praise from psychic Sylvia Browne. Blair's book is called "Before I Got Here," and it chronicles the pre-birth memories of numerous children, including his own son, Paris, who was born with knowledge of The Rapture. Blair's book really blows the lid off those tired old Christian theories about, you know, souls and God and stuff.

You Can't Spell Squidbillies Without An I

Have you ever drifted so deep into the crevasse of solipsism that you began to feel that all things are about you? Even things like the flailing, deadening winter Olympics and the listless, unforgiving weather? Well, one thing out in the world that yanks the me-chain hard these days is my new favorite TV show, "Squidbillies." You can watch clips here. It's from the Aqua Teen Hunger Force dudes, but I've never seen that show. Squidbillies is a cartoon, which isn't usually my favorite medium (except for you-know-who), but being that it's about a family of inter-breeding squids in North Georgia, with a theme song by Billy Joe Shaver (of "I Been to Georgia on a Fast Train" fame) and lots of totally over-the-top squid sex and violence, I honestly feel right at home in their world. In many ways, I *am* a Squidbilliy. In so many ways, we all are. I giggle, and chortle, and gut-bust every time I am lucky enough to find it on, and I laugh out loud the whole show. So, it's highly recommended. And just so - relatable. I *do* think this song is about me. Take that, Carly Simon!
