I See Non-Existent People
Well not exactly, but after watching all 13 episodes of “Imaginary Bitches” in a row… I almost thought I did. The star of “Imaginary Bitches” is Eden Riegel (Bianca “All My Children”) who is an excellent actress and not to mention really hot. When I started to watch “Imaginary Bitches” I actually had very low expectations, but boy was I surprised at what I saw. Eden Riegel plays a character that ironically is named Eden, but the funnier part is that the people who play Eden’s friends are also Soap stars… as well as some of her real life friends. The synopsis of the story line is that Eden’s friends don’t have time for her anymore since they’ll all got boyfriends so Eden invents a few imaginary friends; of course when you think about imaginary friends you’d think they’d be supportive imaginary friends but no… their bitches (hence the title). While watching you’d think it would be hard to act with people that aren’t there, but for Eden it just seems natural and it flows quite nicely from scene to scene. For the guys out there who are thinking well this can’t possibly be something I’d want to watch, trust me you really shouldn’t miss this. It’s very comical plus towards the end of season 1 (Why yes apparently a season 2 is in the works) Eden’s character Eden thinks she might be a lesbian (which ironic since her character of Bianca on AMC is also a lesbian), but at the last moment she gets left hanging. Watching “Imaginary Bitches” was like watching an Indie movie for me, it was a great story line and if I could buy a DVD (hint hint) would surely be one of my all time favorite films.
Update: I just found out a DVD will be available to buy November 3, 2008

Family Abandons 9 Children under “Safe Haven” Law
Governor of Nebraska Dave Heineman said he couldn’t wait any longer to address what’s been called a state embarrassment. The “embarrassment” centers around Nebraska’s loosely worded “Safe Haven” law, which in a few months has resulted parents abandoning nearly 2 dozen children as old as 17 years old. The governor had planned to wait till the next regular session in January. The Governor said Wednesday that:
"We’ve had five in the last eight days,"
"We all hoped this wouldn’t happen."
Of course it’s not like they will be doing anything about this now since the special session that they are holding early doesn’t start until November 14th. They want to change the law so it will protect the infants for which it was intended for.
"This law needs to be changed to reflect its original intent", said the Governer
Normally “Safe Haven” laws are so parents can drop off children that they can’t take care. It’s basically "No Questions Asked” as the phrase goes, and the parents can’t be prosecuted. Normally most states limit the time to 3 days, but for Nebraska there was no such limitation; parents from other states having been driving to Nebraska so they can take advantage of this loophole including Iowa, Michigan, and Georgia. The majority of the children are teenagers, with one child younger than 6, and not a single baby.

Get the “Psych” Theme Song for Free
The theme song for the USA show “Psych” is about 1 minute 11 seconds in length. It’s done by an indie band called the “Friendly Indians” and they are totally awesome (and now that I think of it, the theme song would make an excellent ringtone as well).

Also if you’ve never seen the show “Psych” you must…. I originally only watched half of the first season, but I’ve recently caught up with it and it’s very well written and funny.
How to Free Advertising for your Business
Ever since the ability to blog has presented itself, journalists have argued whether or not “Bloggers” or whatever name happens to be popular at the moment, are in fact real journalists. Like for example a lot of publications that do technology related news don’t allow their journalists to own stock in technology companies; since their opinions on a product can actually affect the market (If for example they could buy technology stock it could literally be the best and easiest way to do market manipulation ever). Although at the moment I’m digressing since I have some reporter friends that work for actual brick and mortar newspapers that don’t really feel that people read and enjoy what they like. They’ve told me on many occasions they wish they could get the satisfaction of knowing how many people actually read their stuff… like in the case of Flywire.Org (because of statistic programs I know what articles people seem to like and what seems to bore them to death). But the gripe I hear most from my reporter friends is that they sometimes have a hard time writing articles especially since a lot of papers have been cutting the reporting staff in the past few years. So reporters that before only had to write a few good articles a week, are now having to write and being told to write for quantity, not quality. I know this one guy who’s got a couple of articles in the paper every single day. Since the increase of the expected number of articles and I even heard this before this happened to; was that they run out of ideas. One recommendation I use to give companies I consulted with, was that if they have a new product and especially if it’s just cool, but most importantly if the company is local to that paper. A lot of the time reporters will be ecstatic about writing something up about it, because they need ideas. With the shortage of reporters can only be seen as a good thing for big and small companies, because it amounts to taking a little bit of time to give a reporter a scoop and Walla you’ve got free advertising.
