So did everyone else see in this week's artvoice that our (E:strip) creator (e:paul) is going to be featured at the artvoice geekmeet or something like that. How great to be related to a local celeb even if it is in a geekmeet celeb kinda way.

I think it is calling my name....oh wait it is

I think Eva Peron is one of my favorite people in history. She is really what i wasnt to be i think. Like not really a politician but like sorta a leader of the revolution. And more importantly she gets lots of fancy clothes and goes to lots of parties. And people chant her name and carry her picutre in poster size. I think I could live with that. Ok so all I really know about her is from the musical Evita but I feel like hta tmust cover the importnat parts. Well I also have a book that has some of her writings.

What I really lik eabout her, well the musical version of her at least is she makes me think of two things I like to think about.
1. Like how she helped raise money for the poor and help them out but also smuggles the money to make herself fabulous. Like i always think about that with charity events and stuff , like wow what a waste of mney to make it so crazy cool when why doesn't all that money just go to the charity but then i think well if there want all the fanciness then no money would go to the charity. You got to be ostentatious to get the dough.

2. Ther is a line in one of the songs that is like "Better to win while admitting your sin than to lose with a halo" I guess it is really a does the end justify the means type of thing. I think like sure she may have been part of kidnapping and slaughtering dissidents but hey she made people have a slightly better life right? or at least have one dream come true through her foundation.

I guess there is one more too. 3. Like solving little problems when there are much bigger problems. She sent people on vacations and stuff and did little things for them instead of promising to like cure the world of war and stuff. LIke is it better to accept maybe little but achievalbe things or should you focus eveyrhting on the big almost impossible things.

I'll leave you with this, "They need to adore me, so Christian Dior me"

First of all I just want to say that my dinner party went off perfectly. Ok by perfetly I mean the food was done about 2 hours later than I said, I burned a few things, and used just about every dish and pan in this house preparing the food creating the largest kitchen mess ever. But it was still good fun and I tihnk everyone had a good time. me and (e:Mk) were quite the ultimate players at the celebrity game. it almost seemed unfair that we were on the same team. Hopefully, (e:amanda) or (e:mk) will post pictures soon.

More importantly though, the DISH network has pulled the plug on offering LIfetime to its customers. IT TRIES TO CLAIM LIfetime is BEING UNREASONABLE!!! Hmm if the problem is lifetime why don't they have the same trouble with other cable companies and satelite networks. THE DISH NETWORK IS THE DEVIL! Ok i don't even have the DISH and so tihs doesn't' relaly affect me but I don't like the idea of some corporation limiting an American's viewing of the Golden Girls or the Nanny. Small issue you may think...but you gotta pick your battles. First this, then what?

Ok so my dinner party tonight may consist of Spahetti O's . Ahhh I stlil haven't planned what to make and/or gotten the ingredients and people will be here in 4.5 hours. Why did I not plan this earlier. I thought I would get up early today and start, yeah...get up early after new year's eve, not gonna happen. So why am I here writing this...procrastination of course. Wish me luck!@
