Odd

Today I received a small yellow envelope in the mail.
Inside were two tylenol sample caplets along with their wrapper.
There was no return address or anything.
What the hell?

Sneaking and Peeking

I saw a test screening for Wedding Crashers tonight. It is a comedy with Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson due out sometime between Christmas and April 2005. I expected it to be some stupid cheeseball comedy, but it was actually pretty entertaining and funny. They make a pretty good team and Isla Fisher & Rachel McAdams are hot. I’m curious how much of the movie will be changed for the final cut ‘though.

Also, Neil Gaiman’s book Coraline may become a movie directed by Henry Selick (James and the Giant Peach, Nightmare Before Christmas)

If anyone has heard anything about the production of Astroboy, let me know. I want to try to get a spot on the crew (or cast).

Hand me the SARS lozenges, please

From the Los Angeles Times:
A glamorous drug, an illness, a very public battle
By Gina Piccalo, Times Staff Writer

Even before “Mr. Botox” returned from Europe to take the stand and Vanna White showed up, the judge braced the jury for something special. “You’ll remember this for a long time,” he said.

Indeed, history is being made this month in Los Angeles County Superior Court, as Botox goes on trial for the first time in its brief but glamorous life as America’s favorite antiwrinkle treatment.

Hollywood socialite Irena Medavoy, wife of film producer Mike Medavoy, is suing celebrity dermatologist Arnold Klein and Botox’s manufacturer, Allergan Inc., claiming the drug caused myriad illnesses, including a four-month migraine so severe it left her bedridden, barely able to lift her head from the pillow.

(blah blah blah….the article continues for a long time from here…blah blah blah)

Botox is fucking botulism. People are injecting themselves with botulism to rid wrinkles. The wrinkles disappear because they can’t handle botulism. Botulism kills people. What the fuck do these people expect when they fill their bodies with BOTULISM? I can’t wait until 2046 when I read a similar article about people becoming surprisingly sick from the new diet fad, AIDS.
