first of all,

Homosexual marriages are part of "a new ideology of evil" that is insidiously threatening society, Pope John Paul says in his newly published book.

i don't mean to get all Sinead on you, but the man can't even lift his head, much less write a whole book. i think it is important to note that he also refers to abortion as "legal extermination". isn't that quaint?

i wonder if this will make it into Oprah's Book Club?

second of all,

why is it that as soon as you break one nail, they ALL start breaking! i'm down to 6 good ones and i had a full set on Sunday!

I've totally noticed that about the nails! I hate it.

And I won't even get started on the first part of your post...

I doubt the pope even realizes he's written a book, much less have any idea what it says. Lies. Damned Lies.

And biting your nails prevents them from breaking. ;)

Did you read Confessions of a Shopaholic before you created this blog or is it some cosmic coincidence that you seem to embody it's main character?

i actually read that series late last year, way after i started this blog..but part of the reason that i love those books so much is that i definitely "get" the main character. i just hope i don't have to sell all my belongings at auction some day (although that very well may happen)

1) “New ideology of evil”, so is that like GW’s “Axis of evil”? Perhaps these two have the same writing team. It makes me shudder.

2) When those things break they hurt!

in general, i can't stand public figures who use the word evil. it's just like terrorism - a totally empty word to scare people and distract from what the speaker is actually saying.

hm, and i'm glad i keep my nails all the way short - it's an old habit from playing water polo and guitar, and it spares me the whole nail-breaking annoyance and pain that tends to plague my friends...

hooray! Two noteworty causes to rise against in this wicked world! Yes, the pedantic textform rantings from the flaccid, homophobic shell of a man who now holds as much form of a Scooter muppet...

...and breaking nails. One of these things don't go wit' da other.
