That's Right, 'Industrious'

Lazy September is officially O-U-T, and Industrious October has begun!  If you don't believe me, check out the new Halloweeny-themey site banner in all its orange-and-black, ready-on-the-first-day-of-the-month goodness.  (If you don't see it yet, refresh the page a few times.  I swear it's there.)

In other news, today's Bathtub post was about famous non-drinkers and whether or not they would have been better off if they'd had a little alcohol every now and then.  In order to write it I relied heavily on Wikipedia's List of Teetotalers, which might not be too terribly reliable, because pretty much every other entry on the list has been tagged with "citation needed."  Whatever--it's still a highly interesting read.  Here are a few people other than the ones I mentioned in my post that I was surprised to see on the list:

• Kim Cattrall, who helped make Cosmopolitans famous
• Kristin Davis--who knew the Sex and the City cast was half dry?
• Dane Cook
• Sarah Silverman
• Shania Twain, which is ironic because everyone else in the world has sung at least one of her songs while drunk
• Weird Al Yankovic

OK, that's enough sobriety for one day.  Maybe tomorrow I'll tackle the List of Iconic Drinkers.

Wow, that banner is sublime. It's a good thing I use a feed reader or I'd spend way too much time being sucked in by its designy tractor beam every day. Must leave website now.

someone told me that it was a good thing that i have never taken a drink because "my paintings are messed up as it is".

was that a compliment or were my pants off?
