Ahh. It's been so nice not working for two whole days. I've been engrossed in Love And Death, which is the new book that questions Courtney Love's involvement in the death of Kurt Cobain. I have always been a fan of Courtney, less so of Kurt, but it was a pretty interesting read. A lot of the evidence is circumstantial, but it doesn't come off as some insanely unrealistic conspiracy theory book either. They never really say that Courtney murdered Kurt, but that she has a lot of 'splaining to do.
The new book has not stopped me from buying a copy of America's Sweetheart, Love's new CD. It sounds a lot more mature than Live Through This, and since I never really listened to Celebrity Skin, I can't really say if it's the best CD she's ever done, but it's still not bad.
For her first birthday, since that computes to about age 7 in human years, I wanted to do something for Fee. I orginally wanted to give her a goldfish, so that she could have her very own pet, but goldfish have a lifespan of say, 3 hours, and it would have been traumatic for us to go to Petsmart, pick out this fish, name him (FiFi wanted to call him Gary. Don't ask me why.) and then have to bury him soon. Plus I wasn't sure if Fee wasn't gonna try to eat him anyway. So we've decided to take a different approach to us becoming involved in marine wildlife. In Florida, we learned that we could go online and adopt/sponsor a manatee. For $35 we could pick out a manatee, get a T-shirt, and have it's picture as well as email updates sent to us. Fee still wanted to call the manatee Gary. We looked at a few profiles, and we decided that a manatee named Howie would be our first choice. We're sending the paperwork in this week, so wish us luck.
