Dragon Fire

I love The Onion, but it always took so much effort read. Thank goodness they've solved that problem.
In The Know: The U.S. Moat

The Irish Hoff

Ever think to yourself, man I distantly resemble The Hoff, be I could make some money? This guy did.

You know kids drank the "pretend" milk

Where I'm from, milking a cow isn't considered fun, it's called a living.

Taking over the Internet

As if dominating the movie box office wasn't enough, now Will Ferrell has moved onto viral videos.

Planet Unicorn

So VH1 has this new show called Acceptable.tv that shows funny shorts that compete against each other every week. I haven't gotten around to adding it to Tivo yet, but if the Planet Unicorn series is any indication, I need to add it tonight. After enjoying this episode, be sure to check out Episode 2.

Steelers 07-08 schedule

The schedule for next season was released today. Looks like a pretty good balance of teams, with the 1st few games looking pretty easy, which could lead to a good start . . .

I NEED to marry this man

Turns out John Krasinski narrates the new Apple TV commercial. I saw it last night and didn't even recognize his lovely voice . . .

Thanks CSI:Miami

On tonight's episode featuring Indian Casinos and scalpings, the one random lab guy was missing because he was attending a conference on "Graphical User Interfaces." The cool CSI dude was all like "Nerd Alert" when he heard.

It always cracks me up when there is a reference on a TV show that is so wrong. No way some guy who works in a crime lab would go to a conference on GUI's, that's something I would do. Of course this is also ironic since all of the GUI's on CSI look extremely unrealistic. OK, done being a nerd now.

PS The other weekend Eleni, Matt, and I were talking about UI's and Megan was like "What?" It took for a moment to remember that normal people have no idea what a UI is. I truly am a nerd.

I've been doing this for years

One day back in college, my roommate Astrid and I were talking about some guy she had a crush on and we decided she should Google him. Turns out he was obsessed with bugs, total turnoff and the end of the crush.

Ever since, I do this every time I start dating someone, although I haven't really found anything creepy about anyone. Yet.

Sadly, it takes a while to find me.

Too Cute

Jen keeps telling me to get a cat friend for Pepper and after watching this video, I'm almost brainwashed into doing just that. Almost. Until I think of having to clean out the litter box.

Voy a España!!!!

The trip to Spain has been booked for this June, yippee!!! Now I'll get to try authentic Sangria!

Oh Sanjaya

Now I've only watched 1 1/2 episodes of Idol this season and I'm already obsessed with the guy. I'm jealous because he has prettier hair than me. Look for yourself.

Sheetz is OPEN!!!

Just now when I was driving home to work, I saw that the Coming Soon sign at Sheetz had changed to a Now Open sign! Since Eleni and I already tried to go there Monday for lunch with no success, you can imagine how happy I was.

I hurried up and pulled in. The place was incredibly busy and I had just eaten lunch, so I didn't need any food. I did however find Galliker's iced tea! Brings a tear to my eye that little old Galliker's from Johnstown, PA has made it the whole way to Raleigh.

Unfortunately, they don't have the gallon size. I also forgot to check to see if they have their ice cream too, that would be awesome.

Animal lovin'

Sometimes even animal crackers can be X-rated.

Will Ferrell + Ninja = Comic Gold

So there's this website out there, Ask A Ninja, that features a Ninja answering questions and it is HILARIOUS. So what could make this concept even better? Having the same Ninja interview Will Ferrell and Jon Heder. How psyched are you for "Blades of Glory"?!?!?!

Advancements in Dog House Training

As many of you know, Pepper's favorite room in my house is the spare bedroom. There she likes to lay in the sun in the afternoon and go to the bathroom in the middle of the night while I'm sleeping. She likes to lay in the sun there because that room gets direct sunlight and so becomes really warm in the afternoon. This of course makes it the worst possible room in the house for her have accidents because warmth + dog piss = even more foul odor.

Recently when I had constant visitors for ~2 weeks, I noticed something. Pepper does not get up in the middle of the night if my bedroom door is closed and thus no accidents (which is good since half the time my grandmother was sleeping in the spare room and I never would have heard the end of it). After everyone left, I returned to sleeping with my bedroom door open at night and Pepper returned to peeing in the spare room at night.

So Monday night I started to close my bedroom door to test her and sure enough, the past couple of nights she's slept through the night with no accidents. Who knew that's all it took. Now watch her wake up tonight just because I've blogged about this! Now if only I could get her to lose those 4 lbs she's gained since last fall . . .

Peanut Butter disproves Evolution

Take that Darwin.

Poor Apex

First a chemical plant fire and now this. Some suburbs just can't catch a break.

This will be the topic of tonight's nightmare

Scientists have bred sheep that are 85% sheep and 15% human. Was this really necessary?

I need to watch more of The Daily Show

TiVo has taken 2 things out of my life, The Daily Show and The Food Network. After watching this clip, I obviously need to put at least one back in if not both (Paula Deen, I miss you!)
