SHE SAID: Case of the Mondays?

I was in Boston yesterday watching my sister run the marathon.  It was amazing.  Between her finishing in an unbelievably great time, getting to experience the city on Marathon Monday and cheering for so long that my voice was horse and my son was telling me to be quiet, I had an unforgettable weekend.  I was also not near my computer, so I’m posting a day late.

Here is a really great article about how even though one might aspire to be well read, well listened, etc., there just isn’t enough time to digest all that is being produced.

This is in my top ten youtube videos ever.

I don’t know who made it, or why.  And something tells me that them uniting might be a terrible idea and bad for mankind … but I still love it.  Thank you, producer, for making douchebags mildly endearing.  I found myself almost rooting for them at the end.

_______

I love denim.  Jeremy might argue that I have a bit of an addiction.  This would be the antibody.

Also, this reminded me of the SNL “mom jeans” skit – “give her something that says I’m not a woman anymore, I’m a mom.”

_______

I regularly school Jeremy in Trivial Pursuit.  The co-creator has passed away. Hopefully this doesn’t mean a delay in release of the Trivial Pursuit: American Idol edition.

_______

Al and Tipper Gore have decided to get a divorce and announced it via a mass … e-mail?

_______

A 2 year-old addicted to smoking.  His mother “can’t remember” how it started and is motivated to make him quit because of the cost.  Poor guy.  Seeing a two year old correctly wielding a cancer stick is more than mildly upsetting.  Check it out here.

Unless you’ve been in a cave or on an island without internet, I’m sure you heard Betty White was the host of SNL this weekend.  That was enough incentive for me to watch it, but I can’t speak for Jeremy. Despite her not being on Facebook, the campaign to get Betty White to host SNL that was started on Facebook was successful.  She crushed it – and performed in almost every skit throughout the night.  SNL brought out some of my favorite skits: the NPR delicious dish women and the Lawrence Welk show.  Betty White’s career in acting and television is long and distinguished, (including her discovery a small town weatherman she thought had potential named David Letterman) and this article claims it’s arguable that she has spent more time on television than anyone.

Yet another reason I should look into deleting my Facebook account …. more privacy issues.  It’s getting old.

Ferris Bueller is tweeting.  Or was.  Twitter based re-enactment of the 25 year-old throughout the movie (@ferris_bueller_).  Locations were also being updated via foursquare.  He’s tweeted the plot of his whole movie and it’s kind of left me wanting more.

_______

Never, ever date a Flyers fan.  Even if she shaves her mustache. The Bruins play tonight and I’m hoping home ice can help secure a win.

HE SAID: Marry/Fuck/Toss

Jeremy, after getting crappy draws from you for weeks, months, rounds, I’m not giving you any more hotties.  This round I’m taking a technique from you and giving you three ladies from the same show.  Saturday Night Live, your favorite show on television, has a plethora of women to choose from and I have managed to narrow it down to three.  Angie Tempura, Celebrity Blogger (an amazing line: “What’s scary about CT?  Losing your tennis racket at Pottery Barn?”), What’s that, it’s Pat, and Judy from the Lawrence Welk Show skits.  I have included some video links in case you need a little refresher.

It really is amazing how easy you make this on me, Nifer.  Clearly, Pat is getting tossed off a cliff.  Why would I fuck or marry someone whose gender I don’t know!  Not only that, but Pat was probably the most annoying character in the history of SNL, so even if Pat were an incredibly hot he/she, I’d still cliff it.

As for the other two, I could only go based on the clips you gave me because I have never seen either of these characters on an actual show. And since I am picking between the characters themselves this makes it even easier – I would fuck Angie Tempura and marry Judy from the Lawrence Welk show. I am sure you are curious as to why…

Pretty simple really, the character Judy has a sister, and works together with another character that looks strikingly similar to Anne Hathaway, and I’d love to get closer to her.  So my marriage to Judy might be a sham, but at least I’d have a shot at this.

And for the record, I will admit to laughing quite a bit at this skit, even though it goes against my moral code.
