My headache is now completely gone.

I am so pysched for the Buffy musical.

We are caught in the fire, the point of no return. And let it burn.

On the Line wavs. Coolness.

Mercury - The Highest
"Hi, we're Lance Bass and Joey Fatone. You might know us as members of America's pre-eminent boy band, *NSYNC, but we're confident that, pretty soon, you'll also know us as sexy, charismatic movie stars. This week, our first movie, entitled On the Line, was released to multiplexes across North America. Sure, it was dissed by critics and failed to finish in the top ten at the box office, but that hasn't put a damper on our film aspirations. Sure, we're unattractive and untalented, but can you really say we're less attractive or talented than Steven Seagal? You can? Oh. Ouch."

Venus - Almost the Highest
"Hi, I'm Justin Timberlake, also of *NSYNC. Recently I announced that I will not be writing a novel, as planned. The official reason is that due to my busy schedule touring with the band, performing on talk shows and awards ceremonies with the band, toying with Michael Jackson's fickle affections with the band, and secretly taping myself nailing Britney Spears, I wouldn't have time to promote the book once it came out. Notice how this implies that, despite the demands on my time posed by all of the above, I would still have time to actually write the book -- I just couldn't shill it to Katie Couric or Larry King. You might go ahead and deduce the obvious -- that I was never going to write the book myself, and that I probably was never even going to read the book once some poor anonymous ghostwriter had crapped it out and let my publisher put my name on it, but that's ridiculous. I would have read it. Or if not read it, I would have had someone read it and write me a two-page summary. And then I would have maybe gotten one of the other guys in *NSYNC to read that summary to me. Hey, kids, reading rules! Stay in school!"

Earth - Very High
"Hi, we're Chris Kirkpatrick and JC Chasez. We're also in *NSYNC. We're usually at the back because we have really ugly hair and can't sing all that well. And if Justin had ever paid enough attention to us to ask us to read his hypothetical book, write a two-page summary of it, and then read that summary to him, it would have been the happiest day of our lives. All we ever wanted was Justin's love and approval. Is he going to see this? Tell him we think his new haircut is really cool."
