Made of Honor? Made of Crap!

Here is a picture of one of the worst movies I've seen in a while :



I like to document it all, good and bad, for my faithful readers.

The Office...In Japan

Friday Roundup

Usually on Friday, I discuss Lost. But I am finding it increasinly difficult to write down my thoughts on Lost. There is just too much going on.

So this morning I want to discuss The Office. I liked the set up for next year. Angela is such a hussy. LOVED that Phyllis found them in the last scene. That should make for some interesting office interaction.

I also think that Jan and Michael raising a child together sounds scary and funny. But mostly scary. I fear for that child.

I hate Pam and Jim together because they’ve turned into the two most boring characters on that show. Boring, boring, boring. And the physical transformation of Pam now that she and Jim are together? Please! I hate it when movies and television shows resort to that. It’s so cliched.

And I almost hate Toby as much as I hate Pam and Jim. I used to really like Toby, but his crush on Pam is SOOOOO CREEPY now. I hope he is gone for forever.

I hope they continue to focus on the other office people next season as much as they did this season. They make me laugh. Except Kelly. They should totally write her off the show.

Anyhoo, off the Cincinnati to go to Trader Joe’s...and see Laura. Also, everyone keep Murph in your thoughts today. Her surgery is today.

Have a good weekend y’all.

Happy Birthday Stephen Colbert

It has been quite a month so far for Stephen Colbert. First of all, today is his birthday. Last week he was given a Webby for Person of the Year. And now, the biggest honor of all, he is the featured celebrity thumbs up:


Way to go Stephen! Thumbs up to you!

Fun Times

This typing game is the best ever. You race people typing wonderful pop culture phrases from movies or lyrics from songs. If any of you wanted, we could get together and race each other.

Check it out and you will be as addicted as I am.

Love Your Mothers Y'All

Actually, I know you all love your mothers, but today you should give them an extra squeeze. I thought I would celebrate my mum today and share a few pictures.

I like this picture because she's outside gardening. I am probably close by bothering her. She looks kind of shocked. She stopped having her picture taken a couple of years later. You might see a few of her now, but they are as rare as unicorns.

Here's my mom and dad with the panchos my dad brought back from Mexico. Note the Orphan Annie doll in the foreground...it was mine.

Here is her graduation picture, her favorite picture. She looks very glamorous.

Happy Mother's Day Mom. And to all the other mothers out there!

A Real Adventure

Have you heard about these guys? 48 states in 120 days. They stop for gas and to pee. They don’t even stop for food...they packed food for the trip. They don’t stop to sightsee. They don’t stop...period...unless they need gas or have to go to the bathroom.

It sounds like a pretty fun adventure, but I kind of wonder if they are getting a little sick of each other, miss cooked food, or are getting tired of listening to music. They have a laptop, maybe they can watch a movie or something. I bet they’ll be glad when the trip is over and they can take a shower, a leisurely shit, and eat a really awesome meal.

Makes me want to take a road trip.

Celebrity Thumbs Up

I thought, since Rob Lowe and his wife have been in the news so much lately, I would feature them with their thumbs up.

They are actually probably giving thumbs down to their former nannies.

The Worst Places for Your Health

I came across this article yesterday and it has already changed my day-to-day habits. One of the grossest parts of the article was about where you keep your toothbrush. I, like many people, keep my toothbrush in a cup by the sink...where it has been sprayed by toilet water my whole life.

When you flush a toilet, the spray can travel upwards of 6 feet. So even if you think that your sink is far from the toilet, you’re still not safe. The best solution is to keep your toothbrush in a cabinet or shut the lid of your toilet before flushing.

I’ve already got a new toothbrush and have been shutting the lid to my toilet ever since.
Another intesting tip was to not put your purse on the kitchen counters. I am totally guilty of this; but think about what your purse touches throughout the day. You put it on the ground, in a grocery cart, it brushes up against numerous unsavory things. And then people put it on the counter and let it silently gross up the counter.

Have a good, clean weekend, y’all.

Trip Out on This

A few weeks ago I came across this site. I thought it was kind of interesting, but of course all the artwork is hippy, trippy stuff. I thought it would be kind of cool to come across a Picasso or a Gaugin, HA or even a photograph by Georgia O'Keefe. I wonder if the different artwork equates to different potencies.

Anyhoo, as I was saying, I came across that site a couple of weeks ago and then today I read this:

Father of LSD Dies.

I never took any of the artsy-looking acid, although once it was black. I personally liked mushrooms better; being all natural there was no brain damage involved.

Ahh, to be young and carefree...

Interview Post Show

I think the interview went well. I feel good about it, but one can never really tell. I'll just keep my fingers crossed that I get a second interview. I urge you all to do the same.

I took a class at the gym tonight. It's called "Ball Busters;" everything is done with an exercise ball. It's HARD. I think it's harder because it looks as though it would be easy. I am already starting to hurt. Tomorrow should be a joy.

Good night, all. Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite.

Road TRIP!!!

I found this article interesting and thought I would share, especially after I wrote about grocery shopping organically, or how I don't grocery shop organically.

The high price of going organic

I am off to Cincinnati today for a job interview tomorrow...and a quick visit with Laura. Wish me luck.

We Now Return to Regularly Scheduled Programming...

...obsessing about Lost.

Wow! Last night's episode ROCKED. I know I've said it before, but I love Ben. He is so complex. I thought he was complete and utter evil (and I was fine with that and loved him anyway), but he is capable of grief (BTW: Poor Alex....I just didn't see that coming...honestly). He does, however, use his grief to help get Sayid do start killing people for him, but it is a real emotion...however he chooses to use it to his advantage.

I am beyond excited that we are going to make another visit to Jacob. He and his cabin give me the creeps. The kind of creeps I like to have. And I am also interested to see how the threesome of Locke, Ben and Hurley is going to work out. It seems like an odd group. Ben and Locke give Hurley the creeps, but I don't think it's the kind of creeps Hurley likes to have.

Some other Suzy observations:

• I wish they had killed Claire then and there. She is annoying and some time last season she decided to act very badly. And not only did they not kill her, she was barely hurt...after her house EXPLODED! As Laura would say, WTF?

• Sawyer has definitely made the biggest changes as a character on that show. He wants to rescue people. He appears to care about people. (Although if I was Hurley I'd be all like, "I'm a man Sawyer, I can take care of myself, you don't need to defend my honor."). It's not that I don't like this new Sawyer, it makes me feel uneasy about his future.

• How did Ben conjure the smoke monster? Again, what is the smoke monster?

• How did Ben get to the Sahara? It appears as though he fell out of the sky...this seems to support this idea of time travel.

• Who in the hell is Charles Widmore? Is he a descendant of Jacob? Has he been on the island before and is like Jack and needs to get back? And who will win the ultimate daughter-death showdown? Evil (Ben) or Love (Penny and Desmond)?

• Best line of the night: When Ben says, "Excuse me James." So nonchalant and polite, as though people weren't storming the house, as if Ben hadn't just summoned the smoke monster to woop some ass.

I LOVE Ben!

Thank God it Was Just the Trainer

and not Will Ferrell.

Celebrity Thumbs Up

I end my trilogy of Harry Potter stars thumbs up with none other than...Harry Potter.



He's a double fister when it comes to the thumbs. Did you hear he's going to be naked on Broadway in the fall? He's not so little anymore...or maybe he is. Guess we'll find out this fall.

Happy Birthday William Shakespeare

Well, maybe Happy Birthday Billy Shakes. This date is apparently just an educated guesstimate.

Happy Earth Day

Use one less paper towel, unplug a rarely used appliance, run a little less water. Do something small to show the earth you care.

Or sit in the dark tonight anxously awaiting the return of Lost on Thursday.

Suzy in the Kitchen

I would love to take credit for how delicious the food I cook is, but unfortunately I can't. I follow recipes to a "T," so I guess you can call me a good reader.

I really wish I could take credit for how fucking awesome this creamy, peanuty, hummus was, because it was that fucking awesome. It is going to be something I make all the time. I may have to invest in a larger food processor, but it is worth it, because it is that fucking awesome.

As always, if you want a recipe let me know.

EARTHQUAKE!!!!!

Around 5:30 this morning I woke up and thought, "That's weird, it feels as though my bed is shaking." But as soon as I had that thought, the shaking stopped. I figured I just imagined it in one of those, not quite awake/not quite sleeping moments.

When I eventually got out of bed and turned on the news, I learned I did not imagine it at all. There was a 5.3 earthquake in Evansville, IN, 350 miles away. It was felt as far as Chicago and Cincinnati (did you feel it Laura?).

What a crazy way to start a Friday.

Happy Weekending Ya'll!
