Paris Hilton...

I don't care what you think, I think she's funny, and a kinda-savvy businesswoman. Its sad that so many people are used to the image she had when she was younger, and can't change their opinions to fit her latest conquests. (Okay, the My New BFF show was lame, I'll admit that.) BEHOLD! She reads.

Take note of what she's reading: The Art of War by Sun Tzu, a book used for centuries by military officers and businessmen alike to help them overcome obstacles. (Like, say, a bad rep?)

Buzzle.com says,"In addition to her reality show, her memoir Confessions of an Heiress was on the bestseller list for a number of weeks last summer. She also has a jewelry line on Amazon.com, a budding fragrance line, and has opened a Club Paris in Orlando with two more planned in Miami and Las Vegas. Her aspirations include launching a clothing line, a handbag line, an energy drink, and a boutique hotel chain. She is currently starring in her first major movie House of Wax and to top it all off is working on recording an album. Phew, she’s making me tired…"

Of course, this was written in 2005, so the reality show referenced was The Simple Life, not My New BFF.

I can understand why people would find her jail time offensive, but she served her debt to society. We've forgiven so many other celebrities a DUI, why does Paris' remain a topic of conversation? Discuss.

As some of you may know, I tend to get excited about new phones on the market. Well, LG (my fave phone maker) has no awesome new additions to their repertoire, so I'll just have to look at other phones until they can get their act together.

Game Recommendation

Aveyond: http://get.games.yahoo.com/proddesc?gamekey=aveyond

I just played the hour-long free sample, but I thought it was fun. You begin in your small town, gathering flowers, then get captured by... people and sold to a family far away. You have to do chores, and your magic talent is discovered when sorcerers come to take the family's son away... and stuff happens. (Well, I only had an hour...) 'Kay, enjoy!

(Note: If you enjoyed this game, try Aveyond 2. Also note that I have no idea if I'm spelling the name of this game right.)

These are cute, too.

Hm... 99th post... what shall I write about?

OH MY GOSH! I just realized that I haven't told you about CuteOverload yet! This is one of the sites I visit when I'm bored, along with Twin Skies and MuggleNet.

One of my favorite parts of this site is the language, the creator, Meg has created which includes words such as "snorgle" (Summarizes the situation when you moosh your face into a fuzzy wuzzy smoochie wiggle and make googoo noises.), or "Baroo" (Dogspeak for "Whut the...?" Frequently accompanied by the Canine Tilt and/or wrinkled brow for enhanced effect.)

Anyway, now you know.

Wicked... the Movie?

When I saw THIS, I wasn't sure if it was true... but when I saw THIS I cackled with glee.

Wicked. The. Movie. I read that the creators of the musical are being very careful who they choose to make it, because they want it to be as close to the play as possible. That makes me happy. I don't know who did Hairspray, but I think they did a great job, and should do Wicked also.

Twilight!

It was... AH-MAH-ZING. Ben and I went to see it on Tuesday. Zoinks. I was actually afraid it would ruin the book (a la Prisoner of Azkaban) but it was perfect. PERFECT! To be honest, I am a member of Team Jacob... but this movie made me reconsider. Although Jacob's teeth were awesomely shiny, Edward was just... so... WHY DON'T I HAVE A VAMPIRE?!?!

Poor Ben had to deal with being compared to Edward for the rest of the evening. We went to the grocery store, and when he offered to carry the bags I informed him that Edward would carry the bags... and me. (Ironically, Ben carried me partway to his house earlier that day.) In the car on the way back to his house, when my mom was singing, and Ben began to harmonize, I moaned about how Edward would somehow get a piano into the car and accompany her that way. Poor Ben.

Aaaaand now..... PICTURES OF JACOB'S TEETH!!! (and one of Edward.)

Oo0oO... look at the purty vampires... I think Alice is the cutest...

...AND he's shirtless... *fans self*

Not sure where this is from...

...my momma sent it to me. Will review Twilight later...

You can 'adopt' an endangered animal, and get a picture of it, a stuffed version, and a certificate saying that it actually happened. There are 90+ species on the WWF site, so just... go wild! (ahaha... wild...whew!)

FYI, I typed this enire post with one hand.(There's Play-Doh in the other.)

I haven't posted in a day or so because...

... I couldn't think of anything to say.

Clearly, I have the most boring mind in the world...

I did THIS, and it was right. I'm so not UNIQUE!

:-(

It all turned out ok...

Of course...(not of course like I knew it was gonna happen, of course like by now everybody knows already) Barack Obama won. (If you didn't know that, you need to watch more tv.) Proposition 2 passed, and Proposition 4 did not. (That's yay for the farm animals and accidentally pregnant teens who don't want to tell their parents)

Unfortunately, Proposition 8 did not pass. (Barely- like 52% to 48%.) So we'll just have to wait for people to become less prejudiced, and start thinking for themselves. Oh well, we can wait. But what irks me is that all the marriages that were done between same-sex couples during the time it was legal are going to be null and void. Poor Ellen and Portia. I guess they can still wear their rings. Of course, there's still the completely unconstitutional lack of rights they are given by a civil union. The good news is that the city of San Francisco is likely going to challenge, so it may be overturned as unconstitutional. w00t.

Well, the people did right, as I knew they would. Obama-rama. Woah-Bama.

Now, if only people would vote yes on 2 (Oooh, one cent more an egg... get over it.) and no on 8 (explain to me why you would take away rights that don't affect you?), then everything would be peachy keen. (Wow, I think that's the first time I've ever used that phrase.)

I noticed a pattern when I checked the status of the propositions in CA. All of them had a higher percentage on yes. (Did you people read the propositions, or just put yes for everything?) Don't get me wrong, I'm happy about all the yesses on Prop 2 (Which, by the way, doesn't take affect until 2012. What's with that?), and I know most voters are educated, it just seemed like a strange pattern, what with the overall unconstitutional...ity-fullness of Proposition 8 and all. Oh well, I'm sure California will do the right thing.

Now, to make this less of a downer, Anastasia telling you what to think post, here are some patriotic... things!

Find it HERE, although it would have been more useful before the election.

Okay, here you have Risky Business Sunglasses, but in red, white, and blue. (It's patriotic.)

This is an Obama Stencil, in case you needed to trace him anywhere.

Oooh... an Obama action figure. See the McCain version below.

Okay, just kidding. This is just a random "Racing Grandpa," but I thought it would be funny, because J. M. is a grandpa. A ha ha... *whew*

Okay, I'm done. Vote! (Oh, wait, its too late!)
