things like this totally make my day and make e-stalking worthwhile
this is almost as good as the star jones thing (see below).
so apparently mary-kate olsen has an unhealthy obesession...
with "supermodel" kate moss.
this is so great! ha!
mary-kate apparently wants to play kate moss in a movie about moss' life. (a movie that does not exist, mind you)
she "thinks that she would be able to bring the right edginess and depth to the role" ACK!
star jones
star jones.
who knew i could actually find something about her amusing.
i recommend you go and read this when you have about 10 minutes to kill.

the olympics take on a hangover
the quote of the day:
not that i'm actually going to post a quote a day... but if i did...this would be today's. yeah.
"Don't tell me you people are actually sitting at home watching the Olympics instead of spending all night in a bar. Now that's just sad."
taken from an interview i read today on gothamist. now i guess i should mention that this quote comes from a bar owner trying to promote her new bar...but still, i found it quite amusing.
and for the record, i do not hate the olympics or anything, i'm just not *that* fond of them.

happy valentine's day
happy valentine's day folks!
this year my special valentine is definately my iPod.
though not in pink.....no offence to those who *have* pink iPods.
and now, ladies and gentlemen, a short history.
this all started out as a Roman celebration of lupercalia, a festival of eroticism that honored Juno. on the ides of february notes with people's names on them would be drawn, pairing men and women for a year of feating and sexual escapades.
them christians didn't like that so they substitued the names for those of saints. people were supposed to exhibit the attributes of the choosen saint for a year. HA!
this didn't exactly catch on so they decided to turn the day into a festival of st. valentinus who had been martyred on feb 14th. now this st. valentine had been a chaste man so they "embellished" the story a bit...
according to one legend, valentinus ignored a decree from Emperor Claudius II that forbade all marriages and betrothals. caught in the act, Valentinus was imprisoned and sentenced to death for secretly conducting several wedding ceremonies. while imprisoned, the saint cured the jailer's daughter of blindness. she fell madly in love with Valentinus, but could not save him. on the eve of his execution, valentinus managed to slip a parting message to the girl. the note was signed "From your Valentine." and thus began the tradition of valentines.

early valentine's day present
so friday evening, as i'm trying to leave, there is a knock at the door.
it is the ups guy with a package for me. cool!
it is from my mother.
it is from barnes & noble. yeah!
there is a little card, and it is gift wrapped. it is an early valentine's day present.
she got me the DVD of charlie and the chocolate factory (the johnny depp version... not as good as the original, but still quite enjoyable).
she also got me a book. a stephen king book. please see below for a description:
If the stretch of years between Sept. 11 and last fall's Kashmir earthquake has reminded us of anything, it's that history can take a drastic turn in one day. Stephen King jumps into the middle of one such day on the opening pages of Cell. Happily wandering Boston after selling a comic-book pitch, artist Clay Riddell watches as the world goes mad when a mind-wiping electronic pulse turns everyone using a cell phone into a violent zombie.
Readers who like their social satire subtle will probably jump off here, but that would be a mistake. King wields a chainsaw in Cell's early chapters, making sure that yuppies and religious zealots suffer equally in his apocalyptic new world order, where flesh-ripping has replaced handshakes. But the zombies--or "phone-crazies," as Riddell calls them--soon change, and the book changes with them. Developing into a telekinetic hive mind, they begin flocking together and performing basic tasks for the collective good with only one goal in mind: survival. The flesh-eating monsters that stand in for humanity at its worst give way to a vision of society at its worst, one vague enough to suggest religious extremism (the word "cell" has more than one meaning) or just everyday conformity.
and it goes on and on.....
so two things immediately come to mind.
1. this is a VALENTINE'S day present??? a "horror" novel about zombies? maybe my mom is a bit confused about the concept of this "holiday".
2. stephen king??? i mean REALLY?! i asked her about it today on the phone. she told me "i thought you loved stephen king and read him all the time" to which i replied, "well sure mom, back in the 6th grade!"
i know i know, i shouldn't complain...its the thought that counts and i do appreciate it. at least my mom is thinking about me.
besides i can exchange it for something else ;)
hooray for me! this is the frist time i've been able to get blogger to upload an image! lol.

groundhog's day
music: White Stripes: i'm finding it harder to be gentleman
today is groundhog's day. i thought it might be funny to see what kind of stuff is out there about the history and what-not...you know... cuz i'm on break at work or something, certainly not because i'm bored out of my mind and have nothing to do, really.
so i found some really scarey things.
first of all, the "official" groundhog is named Punxsutawney. they call him phil. i sorta knew this. this is okay. the web site calls all others fakes and frauds...a little weird but ok.
then:
Phil's official forecast as read 2/2/06 at sunrise at Gobbler's Knob:
"It is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Around the country there are many imitators of me.
In Harrisburg there is Gus who appears on TV working for the lottery.
Then all around town, Cute groundhog statues abound. They all look like me, I found.
Today on the Knob as I'm doing my job, I don't like this likeness of me.
It's my shadow I see. Six more weeks of mild winter there will be."
ok kinda cute...a little poem to say six more weeks of winter.....but then i read on.
from the FAQ page:
"No! Phil's forecasts are not made in advance by the Inner Circle. After Phil emerges from his burrow on February 2, he speaks to the Groundhog Club president in "Groundhogese" (a language only understood by the current president of the Inner Circle). His proclamation is then translated for the world."
i'm sorry....GROUNDHOGESE!!!! are you KIDDING me?!?!
a couple other interesting answers:
"How many "Phils" have there been over the years? There has only been one Punxsutawney Phil. He has been making predictions for over 120 years!
Punxsutawney Phil gets his longevity from drinking "groundhog punch," a secret recipe. Phil takes one sip every summer at the Groundhog Picnic and it magically gives him seven more years of life."
i find this all quite hysterical. there is also an "inner circle" of old white men that care for phil. some of the more comical titles these men hold: cloud builder, fog spinner, big flake maker, dew dropper, stump warden, sage, burrow master...the list continues on.
i think i've found my life's calling...i want to be the BIG flake maker. how cool does THAT sound?
6 more weeks of winter folks...no joke...this groundhog stuff is for REAL. :)

our ever-so-competent leader
i'm back from vegas. had a pretty good time. all VERY interesting. i won $200. i have fun stories, but those are for another time.
today i would like to post a few quotes from last night when our illustrious president addressed the nation. nothing political...just some of the more ridiculous statements he made.
now this could have been an endless list....i choose a select few.....enjoy.
*********************************************************************
we cannot allow the VIOLENT to inherit the earth
we love our freedom and will fight for it.
there is no peace in retreat. there is no honor in retreat.
america is always more secure when freedom is on the march!
economic performance that is the envy of the world.
we must invest in “revolutionary” solar and wind technology.
before history is written in books it is written in courage.
regarding the supreme court justices:
they must be servants of the law and not legislate from the bench.
he began many sentences:
keeping america competitive…
but my favorite moment came when bush was speaking about his failed social security plan. all the democrats stood and applauded his failure….he let them….then he turned toward them and SHOOK HIS FINGER AT THEM in a disapproving manner. i nearly fell over i was laughing so hard.
he also actually said the word environment….that was a shock.
i can't wait until next year!!
