I Still Hold the Aaronic Priesthood

Grabbing the mail I had a little sticker saying a package had been delivered to my apartment. Everything I've ordered in the last month has already arrived so I picked the flat, plain brown mailer up off the floor with some confusion. Inside I found that the ever-thoughtful had sent me the Mormons Exposed 2009 calendar. *lol* The men and photoshoots were pretty unimaginative which I suppose was a vain attempt at lessening the homoeroticism. Yet the novelty of the content superscedes any criticism.

I'd heard about this project years ago when I was in Salt Lake. The guy who started it was claiming to be raising awareness. At the time I just giggled yet he's still behind it years later, even after being excommunicated. Toured around the site. Would have totally bought the “I Heart Mormon Boys T-Shirt” in Polygamy Pink yet they didn't have it in Mens. Might just get the Missionary Position one in Coffee.

Two Words: Fucking Brilliant.

The angry mob outside the window is damn good… as are the oil rigs. Yet the tickers on the monitor are only slightly less wondrous than the “Learnin's Hard” on the empty diploma frames or the red phone.

Give Me a Chance, Madge!

Spokeswoman: Madonna and Guy Ritchie to divorce
Oct. 15, 2008, 12:08 PM EST

LONDON (AP) -- Madonna and filmmaker Guy Ritchie will end their marriage after nearly eight years, the couple said in a joint statement Wednesday.

The couple asked the media to "maintain respect for their family at this difficult time," said the statement, e-mailed to The Associated Press by Liz Rosenberg, Madonna's publicist.

A financial settlement has not been agreed by the wealthy couple, who must also decide child custody issues.

In London, Ritchie's mother, Lady Amber Leighton, told reporters that the family wouldn't be making any statement.

Madonna and Ritchie, director of "Snatch" and "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels," married in December 2000 at a Scottish castle. The couple have two children: Rocco, 8, and David Banda, 3, who was adopted from Malawi in 2006. Madonna also has a 12-year-old daughter, Lourdes, from her relationship with personal trainer Carlos Leon.

The couple are reportedly worth some $525 million, the bulk of that belonging to Madonna. Ritchie has an estimated $35 million fortune. They own homes in London, Los Angeles and New York, and a 1,200-acre retreat in Wiltshire, England.

Madonna is to perform concerts Wednesday and Thursday in Boston as her "Sticky and Sweet" tour continues. Ritchie's latest movie, "RocknRolla," recently opened to mixed reviews.

Lawyers said the couple would likely try to come to an agreement before heading to court.

"The judgment of the court would be to try and assess what they came in with and divide what they built up fairly equally," said David Allison, a lawyer with Family Law in Partnership, a London firm.

Ritchie's career has faltered during the marriage, while Madonna's songs, videos and concerts remain popular worldwide.

The needs of the couple's children will also be factored by the court, as they were in Britain's latest high-profile celebrity divorce, the battle between former Beatle Paul McCartney and model Heather Mills. In that case, McCartney and Mills fought over money and custody of their young daughter.

Mills received 24.3 million pounds in the divorce after four years of marriage.

"The needs of children figure quite highly, and that was one of the reasons Heather Mills got a gigantic amount of money, despite the fact that the bulk of Sir Paul's money was made before the marriage," Allison said.

The Sun newspaper splashed the split across its front page Wednesday under the headline: "We're Divorcing." It was the second time this year that the superstar couple's marriage has come under the media microscope. Over the summer, Madonna was linked — unfairly, she said — to the breakup of New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez and his ex-wife Cynthia.

Madonna was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year.

Wonder if she'd marry a fag. I would so raise her kids and spend her money…

That bastard Tim snuck out of work early to get patched and get online. I'm still reading through the massive patch notes. Had to get them off Curse since Blizzard is slammed…


Heh. Tim was able to log in for about five minutes before his world server crashed. I doubt I'm missing anything by being here at work. Going to take forever to figure out how to respec all my characters…
