I can just see my family rolling their eyes.....Tom and his family invested in a ranch without any knowledge of what it take to work with large animals.
When their cow went blind their family had it put down but instead of using the meat they had the cow cremated......smrt.

yep this is me
I just took a personality profile this is what it said:
1) You are courageous; and you seek challenges. You are a tough-minded, independent and daring thinker who likes to explore ideas or problems thoroughly. You focus easily. And you are persistent, systematic and competent in pursuing your interests and goals.
2) You are also assertive; and you enjoy the opportunities your hard work wins.
3) You have a lot of energy. You think quickly, make decisions more easily than most, dislike unnecessary rules, and take a rational approach to people, issues and ideas.
4) You don't often enjoy "small talk." You are generally not interested in pleasing boring people and you gravitate to men and women who are intellectually exciting and get to their point quickly during conversations.
5) You are not conventional in most of your attitudes and values. You tend to be irreverent and pragmatic and you like spontaneous people. You can be an exciting, yet hard driving and exacting, friend and companion.
YES YES YES, This is mostly all correct.....and very very interesting regarding some of my current states these days.

american recovery in the works
Sooooo the stimulus package was officially passed and BO has kept his promise to set up a website so that Americans can track where that moneys goes and what is happening. Check it out!
This is more transparency in govt than we have had in a long time. Of course this is all kinds of business happening on the side but it is refreshing to know if I wanted to read the entire bill I could sign on to do so.
On the transparency note, did you know you can subscribe to BO's weekly address on iTunes???? Yep BO does podcasts. Welcome to the 21st century folks, era of technology. Get on board.

falling for Ms. BO
So I'm officially falling into an addiction of Michelle Obama. I think she has such grace and class. She sported a new hair cut and aaaamazing dress at the first state dinner last weekend. She looked as fabulous as everyone at the Oscars. Love this look:

the oscars were great
I don't have too much to say about the Oscars besides they were amazing. Really it was a great stage, a great show, fabulous dresses and more. Hugh made me laugh, and no one was an absolute trainwreck.
More later.....

my new fav crush
OK I've moved on from Matthew Mc. to Clive Owen to Robert D Jr. He is good lookin and I think he is funny (minus the past drug addiction). I love Iron Man.
VT is amazing!
So I've been spending my weekend in Blacksburg at VT with my good friend Yvonne. Yesterday we went for a long walk (gossiping of course), went to a fabulous local veggie restaurant, walked around downtown shopping, went to a free french film, ran some errands, and then got some really good sushi!!! Today we are going to brunch at a friend's house, then to the women's basketball game. Then, if the weather is not so snowy, I will get home before the oscars. I got homework too to finish. Yikes! Need to get my business done!

delaying digital TV
Damn those representatives for extending the deadline for the digital TV upgrade and conversion!!! It was suppose to be mid-February and of course was voted to be extended until June!!! WHY????
If you extended it the people who haven't already upgraded are NOT going to do it by June. These are the dumbasses that are going to wait until their TVs don't work until they upgrade. Extending the damn deadline is only going to cost broadcasters more money because they have to support two systems still!!!!
These stupid people are also the ones that think this is some big brother government shake down....I seriously listened to some lady that kept saying "my TV works fine and I don't want any government machines in my house." Oh lordy! This deadline stuff was a battle BO couldn't win.
Just cut it off, plus I've heard they have pulled the government coupon money too!

GMU---up a notch in my book
George Mason University has just moved up a notch in my book (well I guess I should start keeping a book with notches???) because they voted a gay man in for homecoming queen!!!! And the best part is he is a drag queen at local shows. Yesssss.
Of course all of Ms. Mason's friends from the theater department made his some fabulous glittering outfit for the homecoming game. I mean you can't even make this shit up. I LOVE IT!!! S/he is going to be a great Queen! I'm sure s/he is going to work towards world peace and equality.
Points for the GBLT community. Keep growing and gaining some equality in this opposite down world. I would have voted for Ms./Mr. Mason!

uva gets stimulated
Why doesn't anyone ever stimulate me???? Sure sure the federal govt gets stimulated, which means that all the govt"mental" agencies are getting stimulated too! Anyways, that is good news for researchers and grant seeking people. I got an email about how UVA is going to benefit from this business.
As the VP said "get ready to submit proposals" Yesssss sir. I'm ready to be stimulated.

east coast funnies
I was told by one of our lab undergraduates today that I was "not cool" if I didn't like this video.....so I thought I would share it and make sure that you know that all the kewl kids are watching this. This just reminds me of all the east coast sweater wearing, penny loafer wearing, losers I want to punch in the throat. You will never get these next 3 1/2 minutes back:

this will continue to haunt me the rest of the day
Heard about the lady who was mauled by her pet Chimp in CT???? Well it is disturbing as crap. Here is the article and 911 call.
This is yet another reason that people should not have wild animals as pet. First example was Siegfried and Roy and then those monkey parents. And for those of you that have wild animals, I would advise against them Xanax!!!!

oh sam, don't go
I'll admit that I've become a This Week fan on Sunday morning once the beloved Tim Russert passed away. And one of the normal roundtable guests is Sam Donaldson, who has been an ABC newie for a million years, just announced his retirement. One of his most quotable moments occurred in the last couple months where he was discussing Hilary's appointment in BO's team:
"But Barack Obama loves to quote Lincoln and how he surrounded himself with his enemies and turned them into his great supporters. I liked Lyndon Johnson better. More earthy. It's better to have them inside the tent peeing out rather than outside the tent peeing in. He checkmates her if in fact he doesn't do well and we come to '04 and she says I can do what Teddy Kennedy didn't."
Really? Are those the only two options??? Peeing out or peeing in??? Can't I just hold it and talk about this....

kidrock is bringing it back to MI
So I've always been a closeted Kidrock fan.....it most be that dirty, I don't give two shits, badass attitude that is appealing to me. I mean, Kidrock will roll up to any Waffle House and beat someone up. You look at him funny, and your $3 fake omelet is all over your business. Every once and awhile I got to throw on Devil without a Cause and get crazy. Wasting time...classic.
Anyways, Kidrock has had a good year with his summer hit song, All Summer Long. And NOW I read that he is bringing the love back to MI and teaming up with a local brewing company to make some "Kidrock Beer." I'm not entirely sure what this means, but apparently it is going to bring 400 new jobs to MI. And that is something I know we need, considering the unemployment rate is over 10%.
I wonder if the new brew will taste like sweat and be wrapped in a white wife beater?

better hookers than me
The LVPD has released their 50 most "prolific prostitutes" and fortunately I was NOT on it!!! Good day for me. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Seriously.
There are some not so horrid mugshots actually. I have to say that I wish people would smile more for their mugshots!!! Flash a smile for me, and stay away from my corner.

things I learned yesterday in DC
- Meat foundations have to paint their walls blood red
- Botox injections can make Lupus patients sick (not a shocker there)
- Some people love their cats enough to let them piss their neighbors off (actually I already knew this because of the cats that poo on my patio)
- Not all futons are balanced right....don't roll over in the night or it will tip over
- Sometimes at Happy Hour you have to go to the bar to get the Happy Hour deals even if you have a table and are eating dinner
- Pineapples make great gifts

palins are back
Bristol Palin is final coming out of her home in Alaska (post baby)....and what did she do right away?? Went straight to Fox News. She has lots to talk about, such as saying "like" every other word and talking about how she wants to be an advocate for "teens waiting until marriage and teen preggers." WHAT???? She definitely can speak on that because she is the most likely expert. And here is another surprise: Gov. Palin surprised the interview and made a guest apperance. Of course, silly me.

more facebook drama
So I read on Consumerist.com that Facebook recently updated their usage statement, and basically they know own everything you put on that site. Yep that is right all 5.6 million of you that subscribe....you are owned by the Man. You know those pesky "terms of conditions" that you automatically agree to but no one reads and/or understands unless you have a law degree....yeah you signed away your rights.
Now I'm not saying I haven't done the same with blogger.com, but I like to think I can control it a little more. Did you know that over 100 teachers lat year lost there jobs because of Facebook drama??? Yep, in this online and visual world, that shit just isn't safe or secure.

I found elizabeth
A discussion at Happy Hour (HH) this week lead to Elizabeth Berkley, the former Save by the Bell and Striptease "actress." Well while catching up on my podcasts, I found her:
I'm just saying
Has anyone noticed that This Week (with that sezy greek fox George) is turning into the politicko version of The View???? These people just talk over each other where you want to yell at the TV, "SHUT UP and listen to each other." This is like the 3rd week in a row that these folks just yell/discuss/talk over each other.

sooo poor
Well I've resolved to the fact that I'm poor as shit. I need to find myself a sugar daddy that I can benefit from asap. Anyways, I've been pulling my tax shit together and of course I qualify for the free services from UVA and online tax sites. Meaning I make shit for money each year (probably half of which I spend on booze). And I was collecting all the papers I need from my banks and stuff, I realized I didn't get a form from one of my banks. I contact them only to find out that I only make .80 in interest this year. You have to have at least $10 to get a form in the mail. Seriously I'm poor.
I have got to get our of social science research or get a PhD. Seriously.

DC is getting closer
So I've been following the DC voting representative in the House debate. For years DC residents have been trying to get the same rights as say every other American, and it is getting closer this year! Last weekend we talked about it in my meeting in DC.
So here is the issue: the Constitution states that all "states" have voting rights. Except that DC states for District of Columbia, so it is not a "state." BUT WAIT, Viriginia is a commonwealth and NOT a state either. Anyways, the issue is that all DC residents have to pay taxes but technically don't have voting rights in the House!!!
Eleanor Norton represents DC but doesn't get to vote. How many people are in DC? The same as saw Delaware???? I bet. OR how many of them are actually legal residents???
Anyways, I think they should have voting rights, except DC is like an island of weirdness all itself.

I want to go to Sallys
I had a Leine's tonight and then I read that Lucy was out at our favorite Happy Hour place in MSP!!! You bastard! Enjoy that free popcorn and laugh your ass off.....I'm trying to find a good HH place here in Cville. My friends and I are actively trying every Friday night.
Remember when we used to end up dancing at some gay bar until 3 AM.....and then go get pizza! Ahhh those were the good times.
Ohhh do you remember that patio!!! so jealous.

unabomber
So for those of you who don't know, Joaquin Phoenix (Oscar nominated actor from Walk the Line) has quit acting and is now working on a rapping career. Puerto Rican actor/rapper has let himself go to the point of looking like the unabomber. Well anyways she showed up for Letterman last night and appeared to be on some good drugs. Dave of course rolled with it and tried his hardest to interview him:

vitamin water is pooie
So I used to love Vitamin Water and was slightly addicted, that is until they jacked up the prices where only the rich could afford it! But another was I realized it wasn't really as good as I originally thought (well Vitamin Water and Airbourne). Now I hear there has been a class action lawsuit filed against Coca-Cola (who makes VW) for deceptive and unsubstantiated claims that the damn pimp juice is good for you. Turns out it is full of sugar and will be the death of you.
I like the XXX one! Plus 50 Cent and Kelly Clarkston promote it so that just makes me want to drink without asking any questions.

stump rules
So really who cares about dog shows? I don't get the categories or the judgments (i.e., one leg is too long, your walk is alittle to the left). BUT I thought the new winner of the Westminster show, Stump, is too cute! He is 10 years old....well hell that is like 70 in human years. I want to win an award show when I'm 70. This little guy pranced around with his long ears and bedazzled the judges. You do it, Stump...work it!

old people love me
So really old and really young people love me! For those who don't know, I started volunteering here at a local nursing home/assisted living center in Cville. And my duties include giving manicures or painting/polishing nails!!!!
Last night I showed up there were 8 people in wheelchairs lined up for my free services, and they were keeping numbers about their position in line. Some of the men were kind of kranky that I can clip their nails (well you know half these people are taking enough pills to constitute a meal and many with blood thinkers) but only file them.
Helga, my best friend, mentioned last night that this was kind of icky. I never thought about how old people nails would gross other people out. Well at least it isn't their feet!!!! No pedis for this girl. But yes I realized that these folks nails are pretty nasty.
But on a positive side I learned some of the nursing home gossip. Anne, who is seriously 100 years old, is dating an 80 year old (who I didn't meet). And I'm hoping to continue to shot the shit with some of the spit fire ladies next week!!!
Gold stars for me.

BO first primetime press conference
(clearly I'm slightly behind on my blogging) On Monday night BO had his first primetime press conference to address the recovery package and the economy. Check out some highlights here.
But did anyone else notice that he was alittle off? I mean I don't expect him to be on his game 24/7 but there were alot of lingering sentences, long pauses, and rambling answers. And for crap, who organized him answering 45 minutes of questions from all the press. BO was yelling out reporters names even though he didn't know where they were sitting!
Here's hoping today is the day! Let's try something different since the last 2 packages didn't work for shit. At least this is something different.

I need to start watching QVC
I'm going to start watching QVC more just so I can call in to their shows give some fake testimonials. For example, that banananana bunker, I would totally call into that show to give a testimonial on my "banananana" case.
Seriously, who would buy this???? And who calls in to these shows???

love on the rebound
So Courtney Love pulled her mess of a self together the other day to attend the Elle Style award show in London where she was being honored for "Woman of the Year." What???? Has Courtney been out changing the world and doing big things???? She normally just looks like a hot mess (hot being the operative word here). This bags the question of what year exactly was she "the Woman!" Perhaps it was the early 90s :)
the performance on sunday
So there were many performances on Sunday at the Grammys that I enjoyed but one to note was the T.I., Kanye, Jay, Wayne, and MIA swagger performance!!! MIA was 9 months preggers and due that day. She was amazing and wearing some see through combination of black and white spots that reminded me of a ladybug.
Check this business out, I love it:

I smell trouble
So Chris Brown and Rihanna didn't show up during last night Grammy's (both were up for awards and scheduled to perform) and there were rumors that the LAPD were looking for Mr. Brown. Turns out he is pulled an Ike Turner and had a little domestic abuse against his 20 year old girlfriend, Rihanna. Chris is only 19 years old!!! You are a little young to start slapping around your significant others. Rihanna hauled off and called the police on your ass!!!! Good thing too!
It isn't even take 12 hours before Chris Brown's sponsors started pulling their support....this wasn't some week long wait like Michael Phelps experienced. Wrigley's gum (how is he sponsored by them?) has suspended him and his commercials! I wonder if he kicked Rihanna around like he is this pack of gum......see the video below:
And PS A-Rod supposedly has admitted to being on roids too!!! Crap can't these people keep themselves honest. Seriously.

the backlash starts
So over the last week many of Phelps sponsors have supported him because he is part of "their family." But that has now stopped and people are now making "an example" of him....(I've been "over-using" quotations recently, mostly because I've been reading this site).... the county where Phelps lite his bong is pressing charges, Kellogg and all their sugary cereals dropped him, and US swimmer doesn't want him being their role model. Sucks to be you! But seriously you knew it was coming, you got away with this shit for over 6 months!!! Anyone remember his DUI before he become an American "hero?"

SITC milking it
So the Sex in the City (SITC) franchise has officially decided to milk it for another sequel. You know, the first movie was the highest grossing rated R movie of all time!!! They would be too "smrt" to quit while they are ahead, instead they are going to have to force their storylines until all four of the girls are having sex in the damn nursing home!
They have officially signed on write/producer and gay man, Michael Patrick King, as well as all 4 of the famous girls!!! It should be a good reunion, and here's hoping the movie is as good as the first one.
I wonder if it will take place in NYC? moahahah (ok bad joke)

hudson river crash air traffic tapes
Check out some of the audio just released from air traffic control regarding the Hudson River plane crash. The pilot is soooo calm!
I hope it is at least 20 years
So Marie Mason is an environ"mental" activist who in 2000 burnt down the Ag building where my family and friends work at MSU. She is being sentenced today in MI and is expected to get at least 20 years in prison. This has been a hot topic around MSU as security is up and they are expecting protests.
I've been reading people's comments to articles about this topic and I found some pretty funny:
"Twenty years is not enough. Her carbon footprint could be reduced with a life sentence."
"Feed her to the loins"
"Contradiction in the first sentence - a "non violent" activist doesn't go around setting fires. I agree that this was eco-terrorism, not activism."

detroit is still pissed at Kwame
So Kwame Kilpatrick, the ex-mayor of Detroit, was just released from jail after a short 99 days (trust me he still got about 99 problems....dust it off, still a fav of mine). He immediately got on an airplane and hualed his family off to Texas, where you know everything is bigger and dumbasses can hide behind their guns.
Well it is a good thing he took off right away because I don't think there are any Michiganders or people of Detroit that want him around. If he walked the streets he probably would have been shot! I subscribe to podcasts from my fav Detroit radio station who was crawling all over this man the last couple days. The people of Detroit are pissed!!! You don't take tax payer money for your affairs and sex life, especially when the unemployment rate is above 10% in MI and more people are homeless everyday.
Trust me, you don't mess with Michiganders or especially people from Detroit. They will f you up!

ZUMBA!
So T and I are zumba crazy girls.....we have been going every week to the latin/mexician/south afrian inspired 60 minute fitness class. Basically you shake what yo momma gave you for an intense hour work out. Check it out (and we move a little more than these folks):
This morning I want to salsa in my office still because I have this song in my head (watch those hips):

avoid iTunes at 3:30 AM
So for some reason I was wide awake at 3:30 AM this morning....and what was I doing???? Downloading new podcasts, and buying music from iTunes. Needless to say my judgment might be slightly off at 3:30 (and in this case it is not due to extreme amounts of booze) because I bought the Adele album and Journey's greatest hits!!!! I'm going to be jamming all day to:
Don't STOP believing!!!! Don't, seriously.....on and on and on and on!!!

speaking of taxes
I'm not really worried about taxes anymore! The people who run the IRS and in general this country, don't know how to read the tax code either!!! Crap, first Geithner had not paid his taxes (due to the fact that he "lived and worked" overseas for awhile), and now Daschle has withdrawn his nomination because he can't do his taxes either. Rumor is Nancy Killefer has withdrawn her nomination for the same reason too!!!
Perhaps BO needs to veet these people a little better....first question, do you do your taxes correctly? Those elephants have got to be loving this.
Also, doesn't Daschle look like a cross between David Letterman and Arvin Sloane???
I rest my case!

hello peta? where are you on this one....
PETA has been too busy making "sex with veggies" videos and burning down Ag labs to notice that some 18th century dude throw around a groundhog in PA yesterday!!! Check this business out:
Hello? Is no one else concerned that we stage these entire days to see if some innocent animal comes out of the ground??? Then this dude in a top hat grabs the animal and throw him in the air because we will now have 6 more weeks of winter (which in VA means I only get to wear sandals for half the day instead of the entire day). Look at that damn fat groundhog sailing through the air praying he isn't going to die. I don't like it, not one bit.

30 seconds of porn = $10
So we heard about an Arizona station that was hacked for 30 second during the superbowl, and those lucky Comcast customers got 30 seconds of bad porn.....well anyways the company has decided to give their "affected" customers a $10 credit to their account!
If I was an uptight mother than I would definitely protest (I would probably also be the stick up my ass mother who is pissed off at Michael Phelps for being young and experimental) that the $10 is nothing combined to the bad porn I had to watch!
I wonder how that conversation went in the Comcast executive board room:
"We showed some dude's weiner to thousands of people"
lots of great discussion....
"Let's give everyone $10"

leave the guac out of it
So last night Bruceeeee rocked the halftime show for a whole 12 minutes! It was absolutely amazing, especially when he pole danced the mic stand!!! I wish he hadn't called me out on my guacamole. Stay away from my avocados, and no I will not put it down just because you are straddling a pole!
porn and the superbowl
Some people in Arizona who subscribe to Comcast are pissed off! Last night they got a 30 second interrupt of porn during the superbowl!!!! That is worse than nipgate or the legendary wardrobe malfunction with JJ and JT!!! It was probably just some harmless girl on girl action, ooooo wait of course TMZ has the video! Kiddies cover your eyes!!!
I love it, wish that had happened on my coverage! I wonder who got fired this morning!

the superbowl pregame
The superbowl pregame show has literally a line up of NO ONE with sports expertise! F-ing Al Rocker is leading the interview....I hate that guy! Who is giving commentary:
- The cast of the new Fast and the Furious movie
- Rainn Wilson
- John Legend
Phelp's being a little more douchey
Yep I've been saying it all summer, especially since the Olmpics....that Michael Phelps is a little douchey. If he isn't wearing his hat cocked to the side, then he is grabbing stripper's asses in the club in Vegas! And M clued me in to his string of DUIs in B-more too! Well now the smrt swimmer was caught with a bong......he has issued an apologize and claims it was NOT pot! Yeah I bet it is just flavored tabacco!!!
But in all honesty, he really has been thrown into the spot light (like most athletes) and put into a role model position whether or not they should be role models.
Phelps had this to say today:
"I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment. I'm 23 years old and despite the successes I've had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again."
