Yes, I AM Silently Judging You....

Since I promised to post more often and since last week provided to be a bit unusual (more on that in a minute), I thought I'd just comment on the week's starlet festivities. I had to giggle this afternoon while reading the New York Post about the picture of Lindsay Lohan in her bikini, complete with her alcohol monitoring bracelet on her ankle. The reason for my snickering was that not 10 minutes before this, I saw on the TV in our lunchroom that she had been busted for DUI AGAIN and had also been found with cocaine in her pocket. While I know it's not nice to laugh at those with problems, something came to mind that made me wonder. This girl, fresh out of rehab and just turned 21, has been showing up again on the party circuit. I can't imagine not being able to enjoy your 21st with a round of shots, but the real question is this: why is this girl still driving??? With all the money she has, you'd think SOMEONE would arrange for her to have a limo at her disposal, or at very least a sober employee to chauffeur her around. When I was young, we had Saferides to call so that you could go out and not have to worry about getting a DWI. Back in the crazy 80's, Guns n Roses guitarist Slash had someone on his payroll who's sole job it was to make sure Slash stayed alive. This entailed picking his drunk ass up out of the gutter, driving him home, cleaning up his vomit, putting him to bed, etc. I'm not saying that it's a pleasant job, especially doing it for someone unpaid, but if you can tap into Lindsay's cash flow, it might not be a bad job for say, Kevin Federline. Maybe he could pick up hot mess Britney on the way home.

In personal news, I had a nice scare last Wednesday when that steam pipe exploded about a 1/2 block from my office. As anyone who worked in NYC on 9/11 knows, you don't freak someone out like that without proper notice. My notice was a BOOM, an order over the building's loudspeaker to evacuate, and then a good old haul-ass down the sidewalk while being chased by a giant cloud of smoke and debris. That, my friends, is SO not OK.

Have a great week and catch up with y'all soon.
