But now it is here... behold...The AB OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!(I am totally scared to go to the bathroom right now.)Round 1Leave your comments ladies, though I'm not entirely sure we'll have a clear cut winner here. Uhh... no pun intended...If our brains recover from being fried on these abs, we'll do another round before the movie comes out.

Dear President Obama,I worked very hard for you on the campaign trail. I canvassed. I called people. I covered my car in stickers. And now, I regret all of it. I'm a married, straight woman. I don't look like the typical GLBT ally. But I am. And your total disregard for their rights, most notably your reversal of your position on the Defense of Marriage Act, is disgraceful.

I feel the need to tell you this up front, as plain as possible, because Amy and I got a teeny bit carried away. Go figure.Anyway. Neither one of us has ever met Rob Pattinson, but we are both a tad obsessed with Twilight. And you know how our imaginations get carried away when we're obsessed...We both agree that this is our most favorite fantasy interview so far. I say so far because we have

But I am.Way back in 2000 I wasn't the biggest Al Gore fan. I thought he was kinda whiny and I really wasn't too keen on Tipper Gore and all her fun with censorship. Back then, Bush had this great spin machine going that made him look charismatic and exciting. They actually convinced people to vote for the guy who wasn't smarter than you. I didn't understand why that made sense to people then and

Not only was this a resounding, incredibly powerful and influential endorsement, but someone FINALLY touched on something important: For all the people that say "Obama is a muslim".... SO WHAT IF HE IS? This was so beautiful. It is impossible to watch Powell talk about the muslim soldier without tearing up. It's so true.

Mr. Obama left Hillary in the dust with fundraising. And the best part? It was all grassroots, from NO SIG's, NO PAC's, NO lobbyists. Just normal everyday folks like you and me. 258,000 of them.

There are not enough words in my vocabulary to describe how much I love Year Zero. It is so pissed off and so filled with hooks. It's like Trent went inside my own mind and accessed the part of my brain that files away how I feel about the way things are in the world, and he took those feelings and turned them into music.

My secret husband, Mr. Trent Reznor, just released two singles from the new album, Year Zero (OUT APRIL 17!!). I'm not that crazy about "survivalism," it's OK, but I LOOOOVE "My violent heart." Wow. It's...really...really...good. I'm so happy. It's on his myspace page if you want to take a listen. I suggest it.

Trent is putting out a DVD on February 27th AND..a NEW CD ON APRIL 17th!!!AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!He had to fight with the record company to get this album put out, because supposedly it's the hardest CD he's ever put out, at least according to a DJ on Sirius. I CAN'T WAIT!I'm giddy!

Indra is sporting her NIN onesie courtesy of Aunt Elaine, and a guitar courtesy of Restoration Hardware.I think Elaine is right...our kids will either grow up and think we were cool because we had good taste in music...or they will grow up and think we were both totally out of our minds. I think if they ever come across the fantasy interviews, it will definitely be the latter. Oh well! I only

This is my brand new daughter, Indra. She was born at 3:39 AM on Wednesday December 13th. I labored for 15 hours without any drugs before having to have a c-section because she was stuck. It was all worth it. She's such a force of love and warmth that I didn't know I had within myself. Being a mom is the greatest. We're home now and it's wonderful!

So, I never bought a "livestrong" bracelet. I don't really care What Jesus Would Do. I don't have a ribbon sticker on my car. It takes a lot for me to buy into something. I bought into the Red Campaign.And so should you.It's such a cool program, started in part by Bono, to raise money for programs to prevent AIDS, malaria and poverty in Africa.

Ok, normally I really take everything that news/political talk show hosts say with a grain of salt -- let's face it, at this point they all have an agenda. However, Lou Dobbs published a column on CNN today that speaks to what I've been feeling lately. (Ignore the book plug, the rest of the article is really good.) Please read it and please, please, please vote next month. --EHere it is:Lou Dobbs

I was VERY wary of the new Killers album for two reasons: 1) Brandon Flowers seems like a pretentious jerk sometimes and 2) MY GAWD the last CD was overplayed.But I listened to it at work and it is REALLY good. REALLY good. So I bought it and I'm very impressed. It is much richer and more delicate than their last CD. There is a lot of variety and texture there. It seems to me like they have

Here is my munchkin. The first is a profile, the second is the "alien love child" shot. She was trying to be shy again, but the technician (a nice one this time, yay!!) kinda bumped against my stomach to get her to shift position. The time is going SO fast. It's just unbelievable! I had no idea it would fly by so incredibly fast.

Only, one of my professors just emailed me and asked me if I had plans for Grad school. Ugh. I would like to go, but it's REALLY expensive and for cryin' out loud, I need a break!

So, it was a good day today. We had the first picture of the baby taken...AND...Brian sent me a European tour poster from Louis XIV's tour. How cool is that? Is it sad that I was almost as excited about the poster as I was about the first ultrasound? That was so sweet of Brian. He is such a great guy. On top of that, I am ALMOST done with school and the NIN show is coming up. YAY!-Amy

I've kind of mentally moved the Iraq war onto the back burner in my mind because I've been so enthralled with my baby. But as I watch him grow and take in new things I can't help but hurt for those 2,326 sets of parents that went through the same stages with their babies and then wound up out living them. My dad believes that for every birth there must be a death to keep things even. Here's

Maybe I'll dress him up again one day when he has indigestion.Lookin' for groupies. After all, there's no point in showing off on the drums if there aren't hot chicks around...Ready to rock out. And then maybe take a nap.

Only 4 days old I was in labor with this little guy for just over 25 hours, but thanks to my best friend, the epidural, I was able to sleep through a lot of it. And see how happy he is that mommy got her rest? James was born at 10:15 am on the 19th weighing in at 8lbs. 12oz. and 21.5 inches long. I don't care what you say, he's the cutest future rock star on the planet.

I got so wrapped up in the number of American fatalities in Iraq that I neglected the men and women who come home wounded. In many cases their entire lifestyles have to change due to amputations and other medical complications from their wounds. The military tries to help these people medically, but they are limited in what they do beyond that.That's where Homes For Our Troops comes in. This

Or the very least, give them a dignified death.Arrested Development is a fantastic show. Sure, it may take a few episodes to get

I promised the guys that when they headlined a tour, I would do this. I love the band; it is such a cool thing to be able to keep in contact with them and watch them get the recognition they deserve. This tattoo was a long time coming and I'm really happy with it. A side benefit is, when customers ask me what it means (and they have), it's like a free advertising. I am a walking Louis XIV

So, I've been a touch cynical lately, I know, I know, its sooo hard to tell... but one of the few things that has been able to pull me out of the bitter funk is the new Santana album, "All That I Am".Unlike "Shaman" this album is less trendy & more soulful & very yummy. Yes, there are still trendy people collaborating on the album, but its almost as though they all got together & decided they

So, this is my car. Her name is Tia and she's been voicing my outrage for two years now. The stickers change every few months. There is one you can't see that says "DEMAND PAPER BALLOTS" up at the top. Some of the harder ones to read say: "George Bush is a CORPORATE WHORE" (middle white)"AGAINST THE WAR NOT THE WARRIOR" (right blue on window)"Where did the WMD GO? Call George at 202-456-1111"

At this point its no big secret that I am less than thrilled with our president and pretty well over the war in Iraq. While I understand that there were valid reasons beyond the WMD myth to go into Iraq I am irritated at the arrogance of the Bush Administration to think that the American public wouldn't accept these reasons. Lying is soooo much better.I am also a former Navy wife. My husband was

There's a little hand up by the face and I think that's a little chicken leg kicking. (Or it could be that I completely confused the pictures and that's actually the umbilical cord... my memory is complete crap these days.)Stretching the head back and that little bump on the belly is fist.
