Bubbles and Delightful Movies

Aaahhh - a glorious night.


I had work this evening which, in general, isn't too bad but also isn't my idea of an ideal evening. Au contraire, mes amies! Tonight was simply magnifique!


I firmly believe that all young peeps need to be educated in the ways of Disney classics. I myself shall (if I ever have munchkins) procure all Disney and expose.


Tonight was Sleeping Beauty. Now...any Disney movie that is ALSO a ballet is bound to be good. Also, any girl that has two names and is also a princess incognito has got to be f-in badass.


I command you all to go out, rent the delightful film, and spend some quality time with the idealistic/unrealistic Disney romances...they make everything a bit better. Truly.

The Good...The Bad...The Ugly

I wanted to enlighten a few of you to my multiple sides...mind you..not multiple personalities becuase that, my friends, is a mental condition that we must not make light of.


In any event, I have the following in a variety amounts on any given day.


There's my 'good' side. That's the part that actually cares about others, does her homework, plans cute little things, etc.


The bad: hmmm now bad can be thought of in a variety of ways. You can be bad/naughty...you can be bad/messy...etc. Umm I have bad sides for sure.


Last, but not least, I have my ugly side. I try hard to not let this side out too much but, when I do, it comes out full force.

It absolutely did today...

I'll be mailing your mother a package. In it you'll find the wedding planning book she gave me when we got engaged, a penguin and stone you gave me, and a number of other trinkets including the ring. Perhaps your fiance can make use of them. Have fun.

A New Version of Silky Smooth

Last night I found myself on the floor in the shampoo aisle of the grocery store. I was in the process of obtaining some 'new silky smooth' stuff. Having been told recently that normal shampoo contains the same sulfates as paint thinner, I decided that it was time to switch it up.


Thus, I came away $20 poorer and fingers crossed for a successful shower in the morning. Ladies and gentlemen, I have good news to report...the hair is just as silky smooth as ever and I've come to the conclusion that my expensive purchase is, without question, saving the world...or at least my head. Same thing really...


I'd also like to report that Mark is like...for realsies...getting married. Shit...
But let's be honest, that's not nearly as important as my hair. So there.

The Question Plaguing Me

For God's sake, why are all vampire stars delightfully good-looking?

Exhibit A: Edward Cullen...yes, a little on the corny side but...let's be honest - so hot!


Exhibit B: Bill Compton - True Blood. Never has a rugged, southern vampire looked more delectable.


Exhibit C: The Salvatore brothers - Vampire Diaries. No need for words.



For this last one, I'd appreciate my picture in the middle. It would be better that way.

Bobby Jindal and the Attack of the Attention-Whore Volcanoes

Tonight marked Diety Obama's first State of the Union address and, while I was impressed (as always) with his words, jokes, and message, I found myself longing for a little something different. I needed some Bobby Jindal. Now, to some, this may seem rather odd. Why would anyone need the governor of Louisiana other than to ask him to make more True Blood episodes...minus the way Bill says 'Sookie'. Let me take you on a little journey back in time however...to a land of volcano hating officials and the consensus that:



I'm sure we can all agree that utilizing government money to track volcanic and seismic activity is a completely stupid and ridiculous idea. Who cares about everyone up near Seattle? Who cares about Alaska? After all - shouldn't Texas get to be the biggest state again? (It's closer to Louisiana).

So...as I sat watching the President, I thought fondly of Bobby Jindal and his hilarious ideas. Then...then I did a search...and what I found frightened me...and made me reconsider his position on Alaska.

After this...I have nothing to say...other than to acknowledge the pure terror that's oozing from my pores currently. Such a pretty picture.

Attack Of The Bear Jew

First of all, if you haven't seen Inglorious Basterds...do so - ASAP. If you have, I am here to inform you that I feel as if I just got bludgeoned by the baseball bat. Ugh...no idea why!



So I ended up staying home from class today and sleeping (not a half bad idea ;) and am now set to drive my little self on down to Orem. There are a couple things you should know about the interaction that transpire between Orem and myself.... First of all...I count steeples. There are a lot to count. Second, I look at gas prices and decided whether I want to buy cheaper gas down there this week. Third, and most importantly, I blast music that has a good bass. Why you ask? Well for the looks I get of course! I find it highly entertaining/very naughty to be stopped at a light, blasting my music, and receive some incredulous, highly disappointed looks from those around me. Ooooh Utah County ;) How much joy you bring me.



I'm off to nurse my beaten body (still confused) and pick out some delightful bass-tastic music for the drive in a bit.

Ambushed!

I sit down, minding my own business, to read some New York Times. I channel in on the health section, read a bit about pediatric strokes, and then notice a story on eating disorders. I HAVE BEEN AMBUSHED! I read it, not expecting much and then...and then...this happens:

“A lot of patients feel this stigma if they know they’re diagnosed with Ednos: ‘Obviously, I’m not good enough to be anorexic,’ ” said Nicole Hawkins, director of clinical services at Center for Change, an eating disorder treatment center in Orem, Utah. “I’ve had many patients feel that they need to lose more weight so they lose their period so they can change the diagnosis. Patients really feel they have to get ‘better’ at their eating disorder to deserve treatment.”

They're everywhere! Just thought you should know ;)
