Bird Flu

You need to punch up your procedural crime drama because it's May sweeps and you've already pimped out every single DA in the damn office??? Well, you're in luck, CBS writers---this year we have avian influenza!!! Seriously, it's making the rounds of the crime dramas- last night on Numbers one of the girls being smuggled in for the sex trade had bird flu. Just adds that little hint of OH MY GOD WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! to make people pay attention. Even though every single time they trot it out nothing happens because despite the CBS movie of the week aptly title OH MY GOD WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, nobody has gotten sick. Sheesh. It would be way scarier if it was a real pandemic.

I'm sitting here obsessively eating the little bits of heaven butterscotch cookies that my dad just made. They are freakin' awesome. I don't care that we're ordering tons of Boston Market in three hours. I'm hungry now, dammit.

In pop culture news, my Inner Pop-Culture Whore is very confused by the latest in the Denise v. Charlie Match of Death. She is not a mother, but she is fairly certain that she would not allow an ex who threatened her life and then visited child porn websites to see her children. She is starting to think that maybe the charges were a teeny bit trumped up, or Denise Richards is very, very stupid. This does not mean that she likes Charlie any better. After his sitcom ends on Monday he will be dead to her *spits*.

She would also like everybody to know that she would be more than happy to help Josh Lucas with that settling down and having kids thing. Except then maybe Imladris would kill her. Painfully. And then steal the pumps featured in the previous post.
