Today I ate some asparagus for dinner and about two hours later I went to take a piss. While I was draining the vein I thought I smelled something rotten in the bathroom. I looked around but didn’t find anything. Then I remembered someone saying a few months ago that asparagus makes your pee smell bad. And it does indeed. So I ran to my laptop to figure out why this happens. Asparagus contains a sulfur compound called mercaptan. It breaks down and releases that smell while in your digestive system. But this is the most interesting part I learned: Not everyone has the enzyme that breaks down mercaptan. In one study in Britain, only about half of the people contained the enzyme and had a foul odor after urinating. Well I definitely know now that I have it. Do you? Eat some asparagus, go to the bathroom, and leave me a comment!

Here is a message from Ellen Degeneres talking about a gay hate crime that happened to an 8th grader by his fellow classmate. This is a sad tragic event and Ellen sends out a positive message for change that we all need to hear.

Yup! Today it snowed in Birmingham, AL. Because it hardly ever snows here the whole city panicked last night and went to the store to stock up on bread and milk. When I woke up this morning to go to the bathroom I totally forgot to look outside and check if it had snowed. Then I received a text message from my friend Kevin who said he was going to go sleighing. So I ran to my window and sure enough there was a bunch of snow outside. (A bunch for Alabama anyways.) Here are some photos I took of it this morning:

Our cars were covered in snow.

Me in the snow.

My cat didn’t care for it.

My first snowman in Alabama!

Today is the one year anniversary of my boyfriend and I. Who knew it would last this long? I sure as hell didn’t. We are going to celebrate by going to a museum exhibit and then a nice dinner. My oh my how time flies!

Did you guys hear about the worldwide internet crash? Hello? Can anyone read this?

Well-respected Bishop Carlton Pearson loses his Church and his money over his recent revelation about gays but gains new followers.  A must see!

Drew Carey and Rosie O’Donnell are two of the leading prospects to host The Price is Right after Bob Barker retires. Personally I don’t really care who gets the gig. I love Rosie but I don’t think this is the job for her. I don’t really care for the other candidates either.

Who should host The Price is Right?

• Drew Carey
• Rosie O’Donnell
• George Hamilton
• John O’Hurley
• Mark Steines
• I could give a rats!

I do think they should give Shirley Q. Liquor an audition. Just listen to her “Price is Right” song:

Today on The View Barbara Walters made an announcement that she had talked to Paris Hilton yesterday in her jail cell. This is what Paris Hilton told Barbara Walters according to WatchingTheView.com:

She is in the correctional treatment center. She will be released June 25th. She sounded tired, but was aware of what she was saying. She said that she is “hanging in there” and that she feels she is a different person. She was not released from jail last week because she was wailing or screaming, but because she was not eating or sleeping. She was severely depressed and felt as though she was in a cage. She was not herself. She was not on antidepressants. She knows now she can make a difference and wants to do so when she gets of out jail. She said, “I used to act dumb. It was an act. It is no longer cute. It was not who I am, nor do I want to be that person.” She wants to help in the field of breast cancer or multiple sclerosis, two diseases that have touched her family. She also considered asking toy companies to help her create a “Paris playhouse” for children who are ill. She wants to use her power for different things. Her “spiritual adviser” told her that her spirit did not like the way that she was being perceived and that is why she was sent to jail. The other women have been friendly and the guards have been fair. She hasn’t looked in a mirror since she got there. She is no longer that “superficial girl.” She spends her time reading books, newspapers, and fan mail. She also has played ping-pong.

Wow, I’m actually pretty impressed. I hope Paris decides to stick with her new resolutions once she gets out of jail. Guess this means that Nicole Richie will have to pull the dumb-blonde act on The Simple Life all by herself next year.

OMG! I’m still in shock. I got the chance to interview my favorite celebrity, Sarah Silverman!!! As most of you already know, I’m the webmaster for SarahSilvermanOnline.com because I’m such a huge fan of her work. After two years of maintaining the website, the thought occured to me: Why don’t I ask her to do an interview? So I asked her today and she agreed! Here is a copy of what you can find on my Sarah Silverman fansite:


SSO: First off, fantastic job at the 2007 MTV Movie Awards! What is your reaction to all of the attention brought on by your Paris Hilton joke this week?

Sarah: It’s very bittersweet. There was no way I wasn’t going to do a Paris joke - it was the 500 pound gorilla in the room. But, I felt bad for her, too.

SSO: How do you feel knowing that you’ve made Cisco Adler’s balls even more famous?

Sarah: Honored. I don’t know why, but his balls inspire me. That picture inspires me. As a person.

SSO: I’ve read that growing up you were a huge fan of Steve Martin. Were there any female comedians who you looked up to?

Sarah: I loved Ruth Gordon who was more of a character actress and writer. Also, Paula Poundstone. Joan Rivers… I loved the Carol Burnett show - how loose it was and how it felt like a group of friends having a blast.

SSO: Congrats to you and Jimmy celebrating almost FIVE years together. After all these years, what is it that you love the most about him?

Sarah: He’s kind and thoughtful and VERY VERY funny. He’s always thinking - a real idea man in the most traditional sense. He’s a great host - public and personally. He’s just my (this is very gay) - he’s my best friend.

SSO: Your fans are anxiously awaiting season two of The Sarah Silverman Program. Will there be any “Cookie Party” references this season?

Sarah: YES! We’re shooting a whole Cookie Party episode! Laura and I get to be contestents (against the Mustangs - the male cheerleaders who beat up Steve in Humanitarian last year.)

SSO: Is there a lot of sexual tension working with Steve Agee and Brian Posehn on the show?

Sarah: Between them? Sometimes — when they bond about music or video games. They’ve truly become good friends from this show. They were two guys I was friends with that didn’t really know each other until the show.

SSO: How did it feel playing “psycho fan” Marci Maven for the second time on Monk?

Sarah: I loved it. I’m a fan of the show and I really like that character. She’s so peppy and sincere and ridiculous. and Tony is just awesome.

SSO: Besides Jimmy Kimmel Live, what is your favorite TV show?

Sarah: I love TV. I watch SO MANY shows — 24 (still hanging in there) LOST (unbelievable season this year!) the Sopranos (I’m depressed about it being over - this season has been mind blowing) 30 Rock, Letterman, and then a bunch of reality: Top Chef, Project Runway, Americas Next Top Model — all that shit. I love it so much.

SSO: Which word is funnier to you, “doody,” “diarrhea” or “vagina?”

Sarah: It’s a tie between doody and diarrhea. then vagina second.

SSO: What can we expect from Sarah Silverman in the near future?

Sarah: More episodes. That’s all I’m focused on now. We have 16 episodes to write and shoot. They will air 6 of them in October and then another 10 next summer.

SSO: Do you ever check out SarahSilvermanOnline.com on occasion?

Sarah: Yes I do sometimes! - I can’t believe you do this! It’s so nice!!

SSO: Thank you so much for doing this interview for Sarah Silverman Online! I know that your answers will be much appreciated by all your fans!

Sarah: My pleasure, Doll - you’re the best, I really appreciate you doing this site.
