I still don't understand the depth of your love for Kal Penn but in my search for a list of things to do during the Writers Strike, I stumbled across this. Enjoy!

More in bizarre dolphin news...
Since I started the week with a gross dolphin story, it seems only full-circle to really turn this blog into Tyra Banks' worst nightmare. I promise after today, no more dolphin stories. Ok, that's a lie. Dolphins are awesome. I make no such promises.
Both Sides Speak Out on Hayden Panettiere's Arrest Warrant
Neither side appears to be letting up in the Hayden Panettiere versus Japanese fisherman controversy that began last month, when the Heroes star participated with others in a confrontation with the fisherman during a dolphin hunt.The situation was exacerbated Thursday, when an arrest warrant was issued in Japan for Panettiere.
Later that day, the actress-activist, 18, told Access Hollywood in a statement: "Obviously this issue has generated defensive behavior on the part of both the Japanese authorities and fishermen."
For her part, Panettiere said, "I have grown up hearing – and adhering to – this phrase: 'Condemnation without investigation dooms one to everlasting ignorance.' "
Moving forward, "We must unite as a world to solve our increasing international environmental crises. We can no longer hide [behind] outdated, senseless cultural traditions and lazy, bad habits that are resulting in the annihilation of our planet's resources and the extinction of our species," she said.
Fisheries Respond
On Oct. 30, Panettiere joined other activists in paddling on surfboards into a cove near Taiji in southwestern Japan, in an attempt to interfere with a dolphin hunt there. The incident drew worldwide attention when video of it – including footage of Panettiere weeping on shore after being turned back – reached the Internet.In response to that protest, Takumi Fukuda, a spokesperson for the Fisheries Attaché at the Embassy of Japan released a statement to Access Hollywood. It said, "Generations of people in Taiji have relied on fisheries for their livelihoods, and their catches are carried out in a sustainable manner."
Adding that "The population of dolphins has been healthily maintained for many years," Fukuda statement goes on to say, "While respecting Ms. Panettierre's personal feelings towards dolphins, I hope that your viewers will be reassured by the fact that Japan is carefully managing marine-living resources for the future."

Phil and I are being Link Buddies
Phil is funny. His blog Overlooked is funny too. He writes about ridiculous items for sale. Naturally, I just had to make a passionate case for his using SkyMall as a regular resource. If you have never heard or seen SkyMall, congratulations on being an adult who has never stepped foot on an airplane. That's a pretty big accomplishment.
SkyMall is glorious because it's like the tackiest stuff from Brookstone and the Best Of collection from Sharper Image circa 1995 ran off together and had an illegitimate baby they named Spencer Gifts II.
In case you were ever looking for an item like this:
Gosh, my aerobed is so small. I wish my overnight guests could experience a more luxurious night's sleep in my living room.
Hold the phone! Why, this is perfect! How many times have I wished for a place where I can curl up with a good magazine (like Sky Mall), my black socks and a throw pillow. And finally I don't have to worry about those sheets getting tangled up and in my way of a good time... Just me, a cup of mint chamomille and my giant, giant inflatable bed.

Vic, remember that old conspiracy theory of yours?
When you were convinced that the whole Fed-Ex/Britney marriage was a plot cooked up by Kevin and Shar to bilk her for millions?
I think People is starting to agree with you...
Embroiled in an ongoing custody battle with ex-wife Britney Spears, Kevin Federline nevertheless is trying to see that all four of his offspring get along, thanks to a helping hand from former girlfriend Shar Jackson.
Jackson, 31, has two children – Kori, 5, and Kaleb, 3 – with Federline, 29, and says that she watches Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, who are Federline's kids with Spears, 25.
"We definitely make sure the kids all bond together," Jackson told reporters Tuesday night. "I mean, they're siblings, they need each other."
Jackson also stresses that she and Federline strive to keep their family closely knit, despite whatever differences she and he might have.
"We're not together or anything but we're definitely still a family unit," says Jackson, who perhaps remains best known professionally for her portrayal of Niecy on the 1996-2001 UPN show Moesha.
Jackson, who in the past has repeatedly praised Federline's parenting skills, says she exclusively trusts him with her kids. "I know he's in a good place," she says, "the kids are in a good place, and I made sure from day one – I told him, 'You make sure you have our children.' "
And just how is K-Fed holding up in the fight with Britney over their kids? "He's great," says Jackson. "We don't even talk about that stuff, because that would be a non-stop conversation, and we don't even go there."

Best of Friends
"Honestly," says Jackson, "we're like the best of friends. Obviously, the relationship didn't work out for a reason, and we're cool with that. But we're still a part of each other's lives. And our children get to see two people who aren't together but still have a great relationship, and I think that's really important."Jackson, who in the past has repeatedly praised Federline's parenting skills, says she exclusively trusts him with her kids. "I know he's in a good place," she says, "the kids are in a good place, and I made sure from day one – I told him, 'You make sure you have our children.' "

This One is for Me
That's right! ME. Because I still feel sick today. And listening to my sister Jenn make farting noises is good medicine. (My nephew is pretty cute too. Never hurts) But really, it's the noises parents make when the video camera is on...
His expression says it all. "Seriously, guys?" Is irony a genetic trait? I think I'd prefer he's inherited that from me rather than, as my mother said, my "oily skin." Thanks, Mom.

Nicole is trying to horrify me...
If you're interested in buying one of these for your dog, it's only $40 on Orvis. My God, this is disturbing. What propels someone to buy this?! (Sarah Jeanne, I just know you're copying the link down. Put down the pen. PUT DOWN THE PEN.)
The only scenario I can think of is your parents in town and you swore to them this time, you really do have a boyfriend and he's coming and how about they meet him at brunch but you made him up so maybe if you just put Fido in this cable knit fisherman's sweater and put him upright at the table, drooling and looking dapper...
