Celebrity Snatch

By now you may or may not have seen the pictures of a commando Britney Speares flashing her taco as she's getting out of Paris Hilton's car. Why is celebrity snatch such big news? Who knows. All I know is that I felt compelled to click through even though I already know what a vagina looks like.

PS: It's a picture of a vagina so it's the very definition of Not Safe for Work.

Possibly insensitive observation

If Subway sandwiches are so good for you, how come there are so many overweight people who work at Subway?

Frankenmeme

Two MySpace memes melded together to make them slightly less lame:

I am listening to…. computer whir.

I talk… in hyperbole.

I love… long weekends.

My best friend… awesome.

I hate it when people… are inconsiderate.

Love is… a good thing.

Marriage is… for everyone who wants it.

Somewhere, someone is… pooping.

I'll always… try to do my best.

I have a secret crush on… half the cast of BSG.

The last time I cried was… whilst watching “The Constant Gardener”.

My cell phone… is a piece of crap.

When I wake up in the morning… Tobe sticks his face in my face.

Before I go to sleep at night… I drink a glass of water.

Right now I am thinking about… what I need to get done today before I leave work.

Babies are… uneducated.

I get on myspace… to find memes.

Today I… will leave work early.

Tonight I will… karaoke!

Tomorrow I will… eat too much.

I really want… a better meme. {{{sigh}}}

Two feelings at the moment?
Sleepy, bored.

Describe where you are right now?
A cubical with a window that overlooks another cubical. My monitor is flanked by large P.C. boxes and hard drives. I have a stack of DVDs in the corner and a stack of papers to my left. The wall pattern looks like airplane seat upholstery. I really need to put some pictures up in here.

The highlight of your week?
Hopefully hasn't happened yet.

Last Movie you watched?
The Chumscrubber. LLAME.

What is the last thing you downloaded onto your computer?
Film art.

Who was the last person you visited in the hospital?
Dom's mom. I don't find myself in hospitals much, luckily.

Name a friend whose name starts with “J”
Jacob.

Do you have to work tomorrow?
Nope! And neither do you!

How many houses/apartments have you lived in?
Holy crap. So many. Let's see…18.

Last friend you talked to online?
Dom.

Frank.

King of the Hill.

Have you ever cheated?
On a test? Yes. On a person? No.

Have you ever hit anyone?
Besides fighting with my brother, I slapped my first boyfriend. He was breaking up with me. I was naturally pissed (especially since he was a loser and I should have been breaking up with him). He said I could hit him if it would make me feel better. It didn't though, because it was a pretty weak slap.

When I can.

Who do you admire?
Friendly Metro drivers.

No.

If it's actually good, sure.

Drunken Photo Album

It's Mark's favorite thing! Links to pictures taken whilst (mostly) drunk.

Here's Mark's visit to the People's Pub.

Here's Saturday's pub crawl.

A response to backlash

So I guess they (wisely) decided to pull the plug on this O.J. thing. Of course, I'm sure they only did it because of negative backlash and not because they realised the error of their ways. I don't really buy the publisher's story that she was only doing it to help other abuse victims. She knew it would boost her career. But she probably realised, in the end, that it would be more of a negative boost than a positive one.

My baby's in the news again

The Stranger hopped on the story about Brugos' mural. I guess they needed to wait until there was some actual contention before they would write about it. It's an informative and (mostly) accurate piece, apart from spelling his name wrong at the end and getting his age wrong as well.

I like the picture too. It's deliberate forced-perspective designed to make Brugos look not hobbit sized next to John's elf stature. Fo real.

What. The. Eff.

I am struggling to find the words for this. How did this idea even come about? Why would OJ write a book like this if he still denies killing her? Is he basically rubbing the fact that he got away with murder in the faces of America? Is it true that ANY press is good press? Regardless, I think this is pretty much the definitive example of mainstream media being evil and shameless.

In theory

You Passed Your Driver's Test

Congratulations, you got 9/10 correct.
You're a good driver – at least, when you want to be.
Are You a Good Driver?

But I can't figure out what I got wrong!

I have no life.

The umbrella fiasco continues…

Due to this apocalyptic fucking weather we're having, my trip to the library resulted in me having to buy YET ANOTHER umbrella after the wind ripped my trusty polka dot number to shreds. I briefly mourned the loss of a good umbrella which has served me for over a year (and which I miraculously hadn't lost) before ducking into Bartell to buy another umbrella. I know I still have the one from Portland at home, but this isn't the kind of day in which you can be umbrella-less even for a second. As it is, they only serve to keep parts of you dry. The rest of you is wind-blown.

Let me take this opportunity, too, to mention how incredibly jealous I am of people with naturally curly hair or otherwise natural body to their hair. Seattle in winter is not the place for people with naturally straight, bodiless hair, as anything we do to it in the morning is negated in a matter of minutes. I know it's like this every year in Seattle, and this will be my 10th winter here, but am I the only one who feels like it's SO much darker and miserable this time? Wonder why that is.
