Did you know...

(you probably didn't, because it's useless, but I'll tell you anyway)..

... that SNL's intro announces the cast in alphabetical order?

Yep. By last name. Just realized it.

So there's your new bit of knowledge for today. You can stop looking for something new to learn now. Your quota has been filled. Your welcome.

Dear Internet,

Seventeen year old boys are assholes. With very few exceptions. Even the ones that look nice and act nice are major assholes. They're so charming and cute and suck you in and then dangle you from a string and let you languish and then they eventually cut the string and you collapse on the floor.

And I have a feeling college guys aren't any better.

Angrily,

RN

PS- (Sorry for the short updates... been having some problems... see above)

I heart you

Happy Valentines Day, my lovely readers! May your Sunday be filled to the brim with love, smiles, laughter...

and cupcakes. Especially cupcakes.

Prepare to cry...

... from laughing so hard. I did.

BALL?!

Animal Miracles

So it's a Lazy Sunday and my Tivo is virtually empty. So I see what the always-misguided Tivo suggestions has left me, and it's so random. Some show called Animal Miracles, when I haven't even turned to Animal Planet in years. But it's the best of what I have, so I put it on as background noise.

It has stories of these miraculous animals doing miraculous things. Heartwarming and all, but the show itself, not having video of these occurrences, feels the need to make the victims reenact them. And they are not professional actors or anything (read: they suck). So it comes out pretty over-the-top and stupid.

Anyways, today's show had a dog who located a car crash victim, a cat who was reunited with its owners after 8 years, a dog who saved a baby, and a dog who befriended some prisoners.

The last story is the one that made me pause (or should I say "paws"? HA). It's very sweet and all; the dog gets out one day and, being bored, goes over to the prison to find some playmates. They play with her, so she goes back every day to play with them. The owner calls this the dog's "double life." I say "WTF, she isn't f***ing Hannah Montana" And then the dog's owner talks about Susie the dog's amazing ability to not judge based on those orange jumpsuits:

"I believe that she just sees past that idea of them being criminals and knows that they are very loving toward her and she holds no prejudice."

SHE'S A F***ING DOG. She has no idea that these nice guys who play with her are prisoners or criminals or whatever. Not because she "sees past" it, but because she's a freaking dog. She sees a human with a tennis ball and a nice voice and labels them as "friend." It's not like she's a crusader for criminal acceptance!

That felt good to get out of my system. Now I've got to go. I'm meeting with BB and S to discuss their plans for a rally against universal health care.

Don't Hate Me!

I'm so embarrassed. Don't blame me, readers. It's not like I asked for this to happen. It just... happened. I have no control over it. I'm trying to fix it but it's just not working...

I have Complicated, by Avril Lavigne, stuck in my head.

I even sang it in the shower.

I'm so ashamed.

Please forgive me.

Yummy inspiration of the day!

The colors! The delightful natural light! The splashes of pink! The crisp white! Who cares if it's just a bathroom--I LOVE IT!

Speaking of bathroom.... ours is painted! And the mirror is up! But we're still a ways away from "After" material, so be patient!

PS: I'm on vacation, so I'll be posting pretty sporadically for the next week. Sorry, loyal visitors!

This Past Week

Things I've Learned in the Past Week:

- I have almost 100 more visitors than my mom's blog!

- The play Arcadia is LONG. Like 3 1/2 hours long. Learned that the hard way.

- Every stranger who hears you're a senior in high school WILL ask you about your plans for college.

- The weather this summer sucks

- Interior decorating is a lot harder than I thought

- Psych is back and still awesome!

- One of my first blog addictions, More Ways to Waste Time, is defunct. :(

Fruit Juices

Why are some juices so popular while others are not?

For example, watermelon juice. Deliciously watery and subtly sweet, this drink should've hit the jackpot years ago. Yet it's not even mainstream. And think about it, it's not like it's super hard to juice a watermelon.

Strawberry juice. I suppose it'd be harder to juice strawberries because of their seeds, but if they can squeeze not-very-juicy apples, then strawberries should be a cinch.

I feel like these would make delicious juices. I should open a juice factory. You just wait and see...

(No, I'm not high. Why do you ask?)

So close... yet kind of not.

So I'm at 83 visitors right now, according to my long-awaited visitor counter. I'm thinking when I reach 100, I should do a special post or something. Because 100 is a fancy, important number. Seriously, is there a number awesomer than 100? 100 is an A+, a "PERFECT," a 100%, a pretty nice accomplishment if you live to it (in years), and a pretty nice thing if you get it (in $s). 

What I'm trying to say is that 100 visitors means I've made it to the big leagues. I'm just one step closer to being Perez Hilton! Except younger... and a girl... and not mean... or gay... but a famous blogger. Yea.

So invite friends and family, strangers and coworkers, loved ones and mortal enemies to read my blog! Because once I reach 100 visitors, I'm going to reward you guys the only way I know how...

Stick around to see...

(OMG, the suspense is like totally killing me!) 

PS: It's 11:08 PM on Saturday, but I'm labeling this under sunday. Rebellious, I know.

Gotcha!

I'm way too excited about this. As per my before-bed tradition of watching an episode or 2 of 30 Rock, I was, well, watching an episode of 30 Rock. AND GUESS WHAT I FOUND?Yes, that is a split-second screencap of Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) LOOKING AT THE CAMERA! There's a flaw in Fey's acting! She's not a god after all!  It's good to know that even an actress as amazing as Tina Fey messes up (albeit barely noticeably) once in a while. Unless she was supposed to look into the camera.... oh god...

This rare moment of imperfection is located in episode 15 of season 3, called "The Bubble," if you want to watch the moment for yourself. It's pretty life-changing.
