Sigh. And she could have won me my first title last year. Now everybody has her. Why, Zsa, why?

I guess that's how this year is going to go.

I had her on my 2010 list but took her off. I'm sure whoever I added in her place will be hale and hearty through all of 2011.

Query: If someone dies in 2010, but the Obit doesn't get published in the NYTimes until 2011, what year does it count for?

Depends. Are they claiming to be estate-tax free?

Diane Keaton picked the wrong Pakistani official but maybe just a provincial governor wouldn't qualify as a celebrity.

Dead at 63. Just one more year and he'd have been happy.

Sad. I continue to hold that mankind has yet to invent an activity, pleasant or unpleasant, that isn't improved by doing it with "Baker Street" on the headphones. And I include deity fisting with twee, ironic and vaguely boyish YouTube novelty vocalists.

I've been listening to the background music. It's quite good. And impresses the irl friends that I know the guitar guy.

I was listening to RadioDisney this morning, in order to stay in touch with my younger fans, and noticed that between songs and as background they play Too Short's "Blow the Whistle". I think that is good background muzak, which I may co-opt for my office.

Remarkably, NCS let me pick a provincial governor in Malaysia for one of my 2011 pick. I believe she has grown fond of me over the years.

I thought Flash Gordon was there in those (and Claude Rains was the invisible man?)
