A moment of silence

Please. Let us take a minute to commemorate the passing of a relationship that, in its too short flicker of existence, has brought so much joy and hope to the world. We speak, of course, of the union of Britney Jean Spears and Kevin Earl Federline. It is tragic that such a love ended in a such way. No one could have predicted that the marriage of this classy and talented couple would be over so soon, before it really had a chance to flourish and live up to the potential we all knew it had.

I understand though why the man behind such brillant works such as "Papazao" and "Lose control" needed the space to explore his creative abilities, without being burdened down by a wife and two kids (plus one other from a previous relationship). I just hope he has a good lawyer to prevent that woman from running away with all his money.

Hilary and I have a $5 bet that K-fed rebounds the way we know he can, ends up dating Carmen Diaz (breaking up another Timberlake relationship), and lives happily ever after.

Party season and mushy pictures

Any one in the general vicinity of toronto coming to the party on the weekend? It looks like it might be fun, although I'm not going to take any credit/blame, as it was really all the work of Erin's friends. Alternatively, who's coming out for the Wilson visit? Anyone need a couch or two? This is looking like it could be an exciting month or so.

Also, it seems the month for heading to France with Matt and Hilary both making their way there. I'm really jealous at the moment. The pictures look gorgeous. I'm waiting to figure out that I've inherited a nice little vineyard from some lost uncle. Plus with Andrew trekking around Peru, it's leaving me with a bit of wanderlust. It makes it worse not having a valid passport for the first time in decades, maybe. I feel so trapped.
