Two People I Love This Week (and always...):

1) Dolly Parton
2) Bob Costas

Stephanie accidentally left her iPod in my bag last night so I got to listen to it on the way in this morning. Of course, I went straight to the Dolly (my favorite). Everyone knows how much I love Jolene, but I must say, there's something to listening to 9 to 5 at full blast on your way in to your actual 9 to 5 job. Yee haw! Thanks for giving me a great start to my morning Dolly!

And Bob, well, Bob is just one of the best parts of the Olympics. I look forward to hearing Bob's closing thoughts every night before I turn in. Thanks for being a "walking sports almanac."

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT...a TALKING VIBRATOR

Yes, folks, that's right, a TALKING VIBRATOR. WHA?!!!?!

Before I became deathly ill on Saturday, my sister and I were strolling through the East Village when we came across this poster:



After much discussion about what this actually meant (Does it come with pre-recorded messages? Do you record your own? What kind of things would you want your vibrator to say to you? How do you ask someone else to record something for your vibrator and what would you have THEM say?) I finally went to the website last night ( www.talkingheadvibrators.com ). According to the website..."you can record your own voice, your lover's or download voices from anonymous strangers." That's the one I find the most fascinating: downloading the voices of "anonymous strangers." This is the new wave of file sharing..."Cuming" Soon to iTunes: Download your favorite artist/porn star/d-list actor asking you "Who's your daddy?" It's you, David Hasselhoff, it's you.

That's right, folks, Hasselhoff Friday comes again tomorrow. Get excited!
