1. Some Tommy Tutone fanatic dialed every "867-5309" in America. While it appears Fresno has no "Jenny" at that number (559 = "Disconnected"), he got it (he got it) when dialing the 209: "Hey, this is Jenny and I'm sorry I missed your call, I'm in New York this month and should be back the middle of next month. Go ahead and leave me a message and I'll give you a call as soon as I get back. Still love you all, okay, you know it. Talk to you later, Bye."

2. There's not much left to say about Amber Frey and the Scott Peterson tell-all book. (You watch Oprah. That's all ya need.) Here's a few final bits: a.) During their blind date, they got drunk and sang "Islands in the Stream" at the karaoke bar, b.) Chapter titles from the book include "Oh My God! Laci's baby is due on my birthday!" and "Isn't that a little twisted, Scott?", and c.) On her calls from Scott, who claimed to be in Europe: "This guy is unbelievable. His wife is missing and presumed dead and he's talking about French food and big churches and cobblestones." Andrea "Columnist of the Year (Ahem)" Peyser has some pretty wicked stuff to say about Frey in today's NY Post.

3. Okay, it's official, we're giving the profits from 2004's Fresyes merch sales to CARE for tsunami relief. We sold 100 Fresyes items over the past year, from which we made $2 per sale. (We told you it was modest. Cafepress makes the bulk of the money from our sales, so it's about time to start pressuring that company to donate some of its cut, as well.)

We'll keep sending the Fresyes profits to them until Jan. 31, so feel free to buy some more shirts. Thanks to everyone who has joined the Fresyes fashion revolution.

It was the best New Year's present a Governor could ever hope for (aside from that fistful of Tylenol): Fresyes gets name-dropped on the Fresno Bee's Top 10 "Fresnish" moments of 2004... right there at No. 5. Nothing but love to columnist Mike Oz for the McClatchy ink.

We'd also like to claim partial credit for No. 4, in which Fresyes clothing became the hottest trend in the Central Valley since Z. Cavariccis and rayon shirts in the early '90s.

Speaking of Fresyes merch, we're about to do some New Year's inventory and tally up our total sales for 2004. Our initial promise was to hand over the (rather modest) profit to a Fresno charity, but would any local folks be horribly upset if we just gave it to tsunami relief efforts? We're open to recommendations, other than "The Governor's crack habit." Perhaps you know of a Fresno group giving aid to family of the victims? Talk to me, Goose.
