Lindsay, Get over yourself

Wow, when the world of celebrities couldn't get more screwy, now, Lindsay Lohan is suing E*Trade for using the name "Lindsay" in a baby-commercial???

Lindsay Lohan has been out of the spot light for a good couple of years, which is eons in show business. The world does not revolve around you. In the 1980s, Lindsay was the 44th most popular girl name! (Lindsay--not even the derivations!) Chances are, the people making this commercial are from that decade, and thus, have every reason to use a popular name.

Lindsay Lohan sues E*Trade



What do you think?
(Ok, I guess if you watch it, and think of it in that sense, you can kind of see it....but suing for $100 MILLION dollars for using her first name seems a bit much. )

Beerfest

Over 200 Beers, one place. The only problem was, it was $10, for 5 tickets, or $15 for 10. Good thing I knew people and managed to bum off everyone else and was able to try 20 different beers last night (not in the correct order). At least I was smart enough to write them down!

-Anhueser Busch, 8% ABV

-Cervecería Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma, S.A. de C.V (Mexico), 5.3% ABV

-Harpoon (Boston, MA), 5.9% ABV
-Notes: (I picked it because the bottle looked pretty, but it was pretty hoppy, so I made a face and the lady gave me another one for free)
UFO White
- Harpoon, 4.8% ABV
-Notes: Told me it was like a Blue Moon, but it wasn't really, tasted a bit watery after the other stronger beers

-I only list this one because Kim had bought 2 for herself, and this is her favorite, I have definitely had it before (Kim just doesn't like to experiment)
-Sweet, like juice
