"I am starting to like music again. "

When she's not busy saving stray dogs and other 'super secret' non-musical adventures it appears Juliana is also now a consumer champion. Today's blog post addresses the vital matter of the new US 2 piece King Size Snickers bar and the inane brevity of the manufacturers' reply to her complaint.
Such an important issue that liveontomorrow.co.uk has taken to Google to find a more detailed answer from Mars Chocolate North America:
"The size of the product was changed in order to hold the retail price steady. This is also directly related to manufacturing and ingredient costs. When you compare the weight of any product of equally high quality, we are confident our candy would cost less per ounce."
For those who may have missed the news, a reminder that Juliana has recently resurrected her blog pages on the official site. She may have quit social networks but appears to be now using the blog for random thoughts rather than the song inspired essays of yore. It now looks like many other blogs with Twitter-ish posts - a means for her to communicate if not (by virtue of comments being disabled) to interact. If you enjoyed her Twitter posts it's worth subscribing to the RSS feed.

"TV is not reality. Even reality TV is not reality. Cameras and microphones and lights trailing a person during a dramatic, difficult period of her life is not reality; it's something else. It's commerce. It's exploitation. It's entertainment."
Juliana discusses fame, loneliness and reality TV in her take on VH1's Celebrity Rehab show. Read the article at Stereogum.
There are some interesting views on Heidi Fleiss's appearance, not least as Fleiss is currently also 'starring' in the UK show Celebrity Big Brother.
"One thing I’ve noticed is that people who look good on TV often have either very small heads or very large ones.
I was standing behind a former MTV veejay in a coffee shop yesterday afternoon and he had a skull the size of a coconut."
After wiping the slate clean in July, Juliana is blogging again. Instead of themes based around her songs as before, her new one suggests just-like-the-rest-of-the-internet random bloggy irrelevance. Read more on 'Hello' at Juliana's official site.
At Juliana's request all of her blog posts (which date back to early 2008) have been removed from An Arm and A Leg and the mirror at Myspace.
UPDATE - 4 August 2009 - Juliana has tweeted that new blogs are coming soon with (as yet undefined) different themes and content than before. Politics? Gossip? Recipies?
