Bush (Will Farrell) on the Warming of the Globe

I ripped this off of another blog, but I thought you liberals and godless tax-raisers would appreciate it.

SVH - Book 6 or 7?

Antonio (knowing my love for celebrity gossip), sent me THIS web site. It's pretty funny, but if you scroll down to the post about Paris and Nicki Hilton, read it. They make a reference to Sweet Valley High (awesome). Now, I read a LOT of Sweet Valley High in my time (last week), and what I want to know is whether Book 7 is "Dear Sister." I thought "Dear Sister" was Book 6. Anyone know? And I know no one really cares, but man, those books were the best - I think I'll read them over break!

Christmas in SCHOOL? Really??

Until law school, I've attended public schools my whole life. The only difference I've noticed between the two is that with a private school, you get a whole bunch of Christmas decorations (they even have a Christmas tree trimming party at the law school). I love Christmas and all, but that's just weird to me...

duh

THIS is quite obvious. As I read some where, getting engaged is the new going steady.

Say it ain't so

Is anyone else sad about Nic and Jessica breaking up? Frankly it ruined my Thanksgiving.

All for a bike . . .

Being that the day before any holiday always ends up being worthless in terms of getting anything scholastic done, Kristin and I decided to embark on an adventure to West Linn to purchase a bike that I found on craigslist. The bike was just my size, so we put it in my car and decided to treat ourselves to some pizza. As we exited Pizza Schmizza with just enough time to get back to school for Kristin to go to Secured Trans, we noticed that my front tire was flat. My first reaction was to call AAA, but Kristin was the wiser. She actually KNOWS how to change a tire and was willing to avoid the inevitable AAA wait. So yeah, we took the bike out, got out the spare, and attempted to remove the lugs. Don't worry that about one hundred people walked by and NO ONE offered to help us while we struggled to get off the last impossible lug. Finally, as we were putting the donut on, a nice young man offered to help us (use Colier Arbor Care if you ever need arbor care!), but Kristin was basically done. Kristin is a tire-changing super star, and I definitely owe her the equivalent of a tire change. And now I know what to do if it ever happens again . . . call Kristin! And greasy hands make you seem hardcore.

Yikes!!

We're going to attempt to make one of these...It'll either turn out good, or it'll be one of those "and then hilarity ensues" moments. Wish us luck!

HP is back (not in book form)

No, it's not an announcement for the release of Book Seven of the Harry Potter series (sadly). Instead, it's an announcement that I went to see the newest Harry Potter movie over the weekend. It was super fun and action packed. The HP kids are growing up pretty darn fast, so I don't know how many more movies they will do (although I heard they will start filming HP 5 soon). Anyways, we went to a Sunday 11:30 AM(!) show, and the theater was packed! Plus, the sounded didn't work for about 2 minutes, which meant that everyone got free movie tickets! Oh, and I chose this picture because I know how much Courtney loves the actress who plays Hermione.

Your ex-wife, Harriet Miers

I think I've read these like four times, and I still think they're hilarious. Kristin, "NOT a Supreme Court nominee," pointed them out.

Blog Support Part Deux

Rai alerted me to this blog, which I find very entertaining. I figure you U "Dubya" grads might enjoy checking it out. He compares law school to Hogwarts . . . fitting.

Why?

I thought THIS concept was over after the first season. And yet, I will probably watch (only if Courtney will watch with me).

Are You Kidding?

BEACHED: Rock progeny and party-circuit regular Kimberly Stewart, 26, engaged to 19-year-old Laguna Beach star Talan Torriero, his publicist tells People. No word on a wedding date.

I'll be watching

From MSN Gossip:
"And in a final bit of Xenu news, the e-meter-pushing organization will go through the "South Park" ringer Wednesday night in an episode that will surely fail to respect the authority (to quote Cartman) of the proselytizing Tom.
Radar Online reports Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the masterminds behind the long-running Comedy Central cartoon, "are a bit nervous about the blowback" from the episode, which is dubbed "Trapped in the Closet." And if we say any more, we'll just ruin it for you ..."

Oh, man - I haven't watched South Park in a while, but if this episode is as good as the Mormon ("our faces are painted!") episode, I'm sold!

What is it?

Not a bat...not a cat. Poor little guy's a dog! I bet the other dogs pick on him! Gosh, he's so funny-looking, he's adorable.

AD SOS

Some people continue to hope that this is not the end for our beloved Arrested Development. Petitions continue (hey, it worked last time, right?)!

PS How could ANYONE cancel a show that has a character like G.O.B.???

Dunzo...

Another season of Laguna Beach has ended. Sigh. It was QUITE the boring episode, but MTV tried to make it up to us by showing what's to come for LB 3. Let me tell you: if you thought Jason looked old, wait until you see this cast. They're all like 40 years old - no lie. That season should be a public service announcment on why it's bad to always tan...don't think I'll be watching...

Moment of silence...

Fox has cancelled Arrested Development. You'll find me curled up into the fetal position on my bed, crying. Best show on television - it doesn't deserve to be on Fox, anyway. Stupid Fox.

Two for the child-free section please.

Megan and I were just talking about how kids in coffee shops annoy us. I guess some people are taking it very seriously. Although rowdy kids can be uber irritating, some of this might be crossing the line. But hey, coffee stunts your growth, kids! Just tell your parents the Playland at McDonalds is MUCH more fun than running around Stumptown.

Find your spot

Here is a little quiz you can take that will help you find your ideal city. I took this quiz years ago, and my "ideal" was Portland, OR! Since I'm trying to figure out where I want to live, I took it again. Low and behold, I got Portland again! My number two city? Cincinnati!

Conan!

Conan and his wife appear to be one of those brother-sister couples.

Why??

I really don't understand THIS. Yes, I think it's funny (in that silly animals-are-funny-when-they-do-people-stuff kind of way). But come on! Haven't pandas suffered enough?! Why subject them to an arranged marriage?

Speed freak..

Yes, last night I got a speeding ticket...RIGHT where the speed limit went from 45 to 30 mph. I think I'm going to contest it...I'm just trying to decide if I should plead not guilty and have a trial or plead not guilty and have a trial by affidavits.
Suggestions? I've never gotten a speeding ticket before. Boooo =(

hot goody two shoes

Dreamboat

crazy french lady

HOT!

lost revelations

okay, not that interesting BUT i know i was bragging about being Jack on the lost personalitiy quiz. upon watching the whole first season, i don't want to be Jack! he is a self-righteous goody-two-shoes.

life or death 90s trivia!

query:

what is the name of the pink teen spirit deoderant scent?

Laguna Scoop Indeed

Here is LC's brand spankin' new webpage. Wonder when Kristin will get one?

Big-time!

Apparently someone searched for "laguna beach scoop" on MSN and found this blog!! I feel so cool, you don't even know it. OK, "cool" might not be the right word...but, I feel something, alright!

Hearsay Exceptions: The Movie

I stumbled across THIS from Buffalo Wings and Vodka blog. If you watch it, YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO THE SONG! BEST SONG EVER! Makes me almost wish I hadn't taken evidence yet...
Some people are too creative to be in law school (I wish I was one of them).

Hmmm...

From MSN gossip:
How quickly little wizards grow up. Australia's Courier-Mail says "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe, 16, "has grown close" to a 23-year-old hairdresser named Amy Byrne, whom he met on the set of the forthcoming "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." But a rep for Radcliffe says the pair's relationship is all very innocent and Hermione-like. "Yes, Daniel and Amy are good friends," the mouthpiece tells the paper. "Daniel has many friends. There is no more to it than a friendship. Daniel is a very social person and he goes round to people's houses a lot."

"Goes round to people's houses a lot." Is that what they're calling it these days?

Would a dog look good in a blue hoodie and New Balances?

Liz and I were walking to catch the bus this morning, and we saw one of our Sellwood neighbors sporting a bright yellow raincoat while walking a dog donning a MATCHING bright yellow raincoat. And the dog seemed totally stoked to be modeling said coat! I wish we'd had a camera. As much as this weather kind of blows, if it brings out doggie raincoats, I'm a fan. I wonder if I'll dress my future dog to look just like me?

K-Fed...you are...SO...good!

Lyrics to Kevin Federaline's "rap." BRILLIANT!!
My favorite: Back then they called me K-Fed/But you can call me Daddy instead.

My prediction is that y'all gonna hate me and this style we create straight 2008; but I know that you really can't wait, cuz people are always asking me when's the release date?Back then they called me K-Fed/ But you can call me Daddy instead.Go ahead and say whatcha wanna/I'm gonna sell about 2 mil, oh, then I'm a goner.I know you all wish you was in my position/Cause I keep getting' in situations that you wish you was in, cousin.Steppin' in this game and y'all ain't got a clue. Getting anxious? Go take a peep/ I'm starrin' in your magazines now every day and week.But maybe baby you can wait and see/ Until then all these Pavarottis followin' me.

I'm so behind on celebrity gossip . . .

I had no idea these two were even dating, much less pregnant and now parents?!?!??!

Jason Bateman...Nooooo!

Apparently Arrested Development is on hold for the time being - Jason Bateman had throat surgery! eek! Get well, JB...get well!

Not really surprised...

It seems like this happens every year. Go Badgers. Oh, and I like how they insisted that the event was successful based on the fact that there were "no deaths or major property damage." Success!!

Like peanut butter and jelly...

are bank tellers and fake nails.
Seriously! Why do almost all female bank tellers (maybe some male bank tellers, too) have fake acrylic nails? I was at the bank this afternoon and a the bank teller was depositing some checks (how she managed to press any buttons on the keyboard with those fake nails remains to be seen). Then she was like, "I think this number is off," meaning my total deposit. Well, turns out (surprise surprise) she just "typed" in a number wrong. Considering it took like 5 minutes just to type in one number, I was waiting there a while...arg! Don't get fake nails when you spend your entire day entering numbers!!
