blythou has recently (well, within the past couple months, tiki's kind of behind) published a survival guide for rock n roll chicks, which covers pretty much all of us (well, except the couple of guys on our FL, but you can buy it too). And don't worry if you got a D+ in 10th Grade French, 'cause it's got lots of great illustrations. An essential! For those of us who don't happen to live in Paris, it's available on Amazon.fr, or probably at really cool shops that everybody else knows about but we don't usually go to because we're too busy scanning Yahoo auctions for plush toys. The Force Lives On, as Do the Toys
A LONG time ago, Toys “R” Us helped introduce a generation of children to a galaxy far, far away.
Thirty-one years, six films and countless tiny plastic storm troopers later, the toy retailer is hoping to once again establish itself as the ultimate destination for all things “Star Wars.”
Starting this week, Toys “R” Us is mounting digital clocks in all 585 of its stores that will count down to July 26, when more than 225 of those stores will open at midnight to begin selling toys from the latest “Star Wars” film, “The Clone Wars,” an animated movie that opens in the United States on Aug. 15. Two of the retailer’s flagship outlets, in Mission Bay in San Diego and in Times Square, will hold costume and trivia contests that night as well, and will give away limited-edition “Star Wars” toys with every purchase.
This time, even McDonald’s is getting involved, with its first ever Happy Meal promotion for a “Star Wars” movie.
The approximately 90-minute feature being released this summer was originally intended for television as well, but was reformatted for a theatrical release after George Lucas, the head of the Lucasfilm studio that makes the Star Wars films, saw an early cut and decided that it should be seen on a larger screen.
“Sometimes George works in strange ways,” said Howard Roffman, president of Lucas Licensing.
Starbucks to cut up to 12,000 jobs, close 600 stores

[T]wo infamous senators have signed on to the bill of Mississippi Republican Sen. Roger Wicker to establish a constitutional amendment codifying marriage as between a man and a woman.
You probably only need two guesses as to which two senators announced they were co-sponsoring the bill today -- David "John" Vitter and Larry "Wide Stance" Craig....
