Hi everybody! Hope you all had nice weekends. Mine was full of plans, of which about 1/2 were actually accomplished. My weekend was co-opted by the launch of Tori Amos‘s latest tour. I’m a bit obsessed, hopefully I didn’t annoy you too much with my little infatuation that came to a climax with me succumbing to the crazed fan in me by joining other crazed fans and twittered and hit the tori chat rooms during her live show in portland to cheer with fans as each song was announced as she played. Here’s what her set list included. Before this tour is done, in October, you’ll probably hear my story of how I got so crazy about Tori, but for now, I think it’s finally worked it way out of my system.
Anyways, here’s the Ms. Amos-less Monday headlines:
- First up, would you pay to watch You Tube Videos?
- The New York Times is probably going to charge for online content. Here’s one of my favorite clips. See what happened when The Daily Show visited the NY Times offices.
- Want some free food? It’s soooooooo hot, how about some free ice cream. Ben and Jerry’s is offering a buy one get one sundae on mondays…get it. And if that doesn’t work McDonald’s is offering Free Mocha Mondays (Thanks @miamicheap)
- Want to see Food Inc for free? Here’s the details
- Linking to this, because men, if this is the way you really think, than I’m seriously disturbed and so are you. From Ask Men:”Subtle Ways To Tell Her She’s Getting Fat.” And here’s Jezebel.com‘s reaction. (Thanks @TraciRai)
