This is my first time…

Hello, I wanted to add something cool to my boyfriend’s website, so here it is. Sorry it’s not that cool, but I’ll try better next time. Anyway, go to Jamba Juice and get a good drink, I would recommend the Strawberry Tsunami because it’s fantastic, but maybe not if you don’t like lemonade. Ok, that’s about all I have to say, except for, Harry Potter kids are alcoholics, on July 2nd, Brian/Red was also born, the egg didn’t come first, it’s called a rehtorical question, the Beatles aren’t under-appreciated, there needs to be a scholarship for half-assed Math Majors with a minor in fine arts (emphasis in computer imaging) and animation (but you can’t know anything about that), with a priority given to those who play clarinet in a marching band and work at the school of music, and if you have snakes in your dreams it means you must be a Parseltongue. That’s it for now, have fun everyone!

headline of the century

I know this may be a little pre-mature, but I think I’ve found the headline of the century. CBS news reports “Canada Gets Baked.”

help interpret this dream

(11:44:57) AnonymousChica: oh, you know something weird… seems like every night for the last few nights i’ve had some dream with a snake in it… what does that mean?

political quote of the moment

“My choice early in life was either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or a politician. And to tell the truth, there’s hardly any difference.”
– Former U.S. President Harry S. Truman

scholarships

I’m filling out an online school application now, and I’ve noticed a couple intriguing scholarship opportunities. Some favorites:

1) Fine arts or liberal arts major, including librarianship, who neither smokes nor drinks alcoholic beverages[can you smoke or drink other things?]
2) student studying Pomology
3) Blood relative of Mildred L. Muller
4) Student who has a relative directly or indirectly connected with the beauty industry [My mom pays a gay man named Paolo a lot of money to get her hair done, does that qualify me?]
5) Jewish orphan studying aeronautical engineering
6) Protestant female [Sorority chicks need not apply]
7) Student who is not now and does not plan to become a member of a social fraternity or sorority, other than an honor society.

Fantastic. All I need is “Slightly overweight redhead with a German last name interested in persuing a degree in some field that will give him lots of money with minimal work. Priority given to those currently delivering pizza in South Central.”

cool beatles song of the moment

The Beatles are not exactly under-appreciated, but I’ve been listening to them a lot recently and there are a few songs that are firmly in the shadows of their more popular peers. “It Won’t Be Long Now” off the 1963 album “With The Beatles” is one such song. Another mindless but catchy rock song in the same vein as “twist & shout” or “hold your hand”, I highly suggest giving this tune a listen.

What is Ova Prima?

Since 1887, the Ova Prima Foundation has existed for the sole purpose of exploring the mystery and the beauty that is the egg.

It is the Foundation’s primary objective to continue to build a body of scientific evidence that will shed light on the egg-and-chicken controversy, that most basic of conundrums. The Foundation’s long and exciting history began in 1865 when Craigorn Shippen discovered the first scientific evidence that the egg came first.

Canadian Apology…

“On behalf of Canadians everywhere I’d like to offer an apology to the United States of America. We haven’t been getting along very well recently and for that, I am truly sorry. I’m sorry we called George Bush a moron. He is a moron, but it wasn’t nice of us to point it out. If it’s any consolation, the fact that he’s a moron shouldn’t reflect poorly on the people of America. After all, it’s not like you actually elected him.

I’m sorry about our softwood lumber. Just because we have more trees than you, doesn’t give us the right to sell you lumber that’s cheaper and better than your own. It would be like if, well, say you had ten times the television audeince we did and you flood our market with great shows, cheaper than we could produce. I know you’d never do that.

I’m sorry we beat you in Olympic hockey. In our defence I guess our excuse would be that our team was much, much, much, much better than yours. As word of apology, please accept all of our NHL teams which, one by one, are going out of business and moving to your fine country.

I’m sorry about our waffling on Iraq. I mean, when you’re going up against a crazed dictator, you want to have your friends by your side. I realize it took more than two years before you guys pitched in against Hitler, but that was different. Everyone knew he had weapons.

I’m sorry we burnt down your White House during the War of 1812. I see you’ve rebuilt it! It’s very nice.

I’m sorry for Alan Thicke, Shania Twain, Celine Dion, Loverboy, that song from Seriff that ends with a really high-pitched long note. Your beer. I know we had nothing to do with your beer, but we feel your pain.

And finally on behalf of all Canadians, I’m sorry that we’re constantly apologizing for things in a passive-aggressive way which is really a thinly veiled criticism. I sincerely hope that you’re not upset over this. Because we’ve seen what you do to countries you get upset with. ”
-Colin Mochrie, from the Canadian TV show “This Hour Has 22 Minutes”

On this day…

On July 2nd, Jose Canseco, Bret Hart, Thurgood Marshall, Richard Petty all celebrate birthday’s.

Also in 1777 Vermont became the first american colony to abolish slavery and in 1947 a UFO crashed near Roswell, New Mexico.

Wizard Children Alcoholics?

I’ve noticed in Harry Potter students drink a lot of “Butterbeer” and I always just assumed that it was somewhat analogous to root beer. However there is a reference to someone being sloppy drunk and getting an “antidote” for Butterbeer, implying that it does have intoxicating effects.

Which is interesting considering Harry is only 16 years old in this book and many are younger. I’m guessing this relates to the fact that drinking laws are somewhat more lax in the UK, with the minimum drinking age being 18, and 16 in restaurants.

Still its interesting… This book promotes underage DRINKING.

I think we should hold a book burning!
