And now, introducing...

As a veteran blogger, 2nd 5,492,832nd only to...well, I can't really name them all...I feel it is my duty to give a boost to new bloggers who are trying to build their readership to the 78 or so readers I get each day. So, in combination with my recent fawningly positive review of Wishful Drinking, I would like to introduce:

Carrie Fisher

Carrie probably doesn't know it yet, but she is my soul sister. Yes, we are so much alike that it's scary. Except for the fact that when she and I were in our teens, I was hanging with my friends drinking warm beer from Matt's Beer Balls and she was starring in a revolutionary and now iconic movie. (We both made questionable hairstyle choices at the time.) Oh, and her mother is Debbie Reynolds. And she was smoking pot with Harrison Ford when I was...yup, back to the warm beer.

When I heard that she was going to start a blog, I hoped that it wouldn't be just another self-serving, ghost-written celebrity blog used to promote her latest book. What a pleasant surprise! It's not!

Here at Live and Let Di, you can read about the silly exploits of Marcy, Kim, Pilar, Tony, etc., at the Cantina. On Carrie's site you can read about the silly exploits at one of her recent parties...only her friends are people like Sean Penn, Ewan McGregor, Gus Van Sant and Bruce Cohen. And, like Kim, proprietress of the Cantina, her door is open to the random people who drop in unannounced, like Mick Jagger and Paris Hilton.

And Carrie doesn't think she's too cool to accept comments! Take that Dooce!

So, my loyal readers, let's give Carrie a big welcome to the blog world (don't you kind of hate the "word" blogosphere?) and click here now!

Yes, I can see that you are soul sisters. LOL

I just found the cutest blog the other day: Mackenzie Speaks, Inside the brain of a Golden Retriever. It is up for one of those Bloggie awards.

here is the URL: http://www.mackenziespeaks.com/

Here was the first entry, in May

"When humans make me mad I usually go into another room and lick my behind. Then, when I come back into the room, I lick their faces. This may sound disgusting but it’s actually pretty funny."

and another "Dogs may act friendly, but we’re really aliens in disguise waiting for the mothership. When it arrives watch out cause some things are going to change around here."

Thanks for the link to Carrie Fisher's blog -- more fun stuff to read!

She and I are a lot alike, too. For instance, we both...umm, live on Planet Earth. There you go -- almost another soul sister...
