Waterbeds for quadrupeds


Ladies and gents, prepare yourselves. Something shocking and surprising has occurred recently, the likes of which have never happened in the life of the blog. The end. Just kidding, there's more. I just like to do that sometimes. So the shocking thing that has happened is that the brilliance and omniscience of Sessygirl has been challenged. Yes, Maddie W. has stepped up to the plate and decided to present me with what she thinks is an even better parody of Miley's 7 things video. Well, I'm going to leave this up to you, viewers. I have no opinion in the matter, but I'm interested in what you think. Look to the top right to the poll, and place your vote before February 1st.

Don't remember the parody I originally posted? View it here

Jello can be food and a friend


This news story is great. A man with a tradition of buying two lottery tickets daily finally gets his big win when one of his tickets cashes in for 10 million big ones. The only problem: the day of the win, the man, 79, dies of a heart attack. His wife of 59 years of marriage, adds that they might have never checked the numbers on it because of the distress of the news of his death. His kids and wife are definitely guaranteed to never have to work again. There's some kind of irony in the whole idea. Cute and short news article.

Flossing with angel hair pasta


I read the first Twilight book. And my life didn't suddenly become more meaningful, I didn't begin wishing that all guys at the highschool were vampires and werewolves, and I didn't start replacing names in love songs with Edward and Sessy. But I liked it. Well, really, I liked the story. The writing on the other hand, drove me crazy. Stephanie Meyer, author of the hit book series, has admitted that she's a storyteller, not a writer. And that's fine if you're someone who likes a good story. But to someone who craves juicy language, these books are about as desireable as fish heads. Here's my impression: 'Edward looked at me, his face a mixture of longing, sorrow, excitement, depression, anxiety, confusion, delight, hunger, and constipation.' Obviously, I'm a picky, slight fan. But there are those, whom I may even see every day in the halls of high school, who are hopelessly obsessed. Check out this video to see how this kind of obsession can effect a regular woman. Very funny!
