Vote Responsibly

It's taken me a long time to post, mostly because I want to rant about the election. I keep going back and forth about should I put my political views out there or leave them to myself. I decided to rant (what a surprise) because most of the people that I know read this feel the same way I do. Let's start with Republican Vice Presidential candidate. I'll probably end with her because I can't bring myself to talk about a man that describes himself as a maverick. Right!

So, this hockey Mom from Alaska. It doesn't matter where she's from. What matters most to me is that people claim they will vote for her for the most ridiculous reasons. I listen to NPR most days and they go around interviewing people on the issues. They interview women on who they would vote for. One woman said she would vote for Palin because she is sick of people picking on her. Yeah, that's a great reason! Another woman said she would vote for Palin because she isn't sure Obama is ready for the White House. Right, like Palin is and besides, that is also a stupid reason to vote for her.

How stupid are these people? What ever happened to doing the research and voting for the candidate who supports the issues you do. Good god! Wake up people!

How Embarrassing!

I watched the premier episode of 90210. No, I'm not ashamed. Why wouldn't I check it out, like I did Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill, which were, by the way, fabulous! But back to 90210. How embarrassing for the actors, producers, director, and creators. Here's what's wrong:


1. The high school kids don't look high school age or even close.

2. There was a commercial about every 5 minutes (sometimes every 3 minutes).

3. Some of the commercials were promoting that 90210 starts in the fall (huh?).

4. The acting is horrible.

5. Jessica Walters wasn't believable as a drunk (how hard is it to slur words?).

6. Brenda Walsh is fat (yeah, I know, it's petty, so sue me!).

7. The acting is horrible.

8. I don't care how rich you are, you don't take a date to San Fran for dinner on Daddy's jet on a school night.

9. Linda Gray has the same botox scary look that she did on Dallas.

10. Did I mention the acting is horrible?

Will I watch in again? What do you think?

Bad Boys

I have a lot of favorite shows but my all time favorite is Cops. Ask Pretty Girl or Pretty Teacher, they'll tell you. I don't think they are proud of the fact, but they know.

So tonight I couldn't have been more surprised to find out that Cops is celebrating their 20th season. Oh my god, have I really been watching for that long? I have friends that aren't even that old. They had a "Best of" episode on, which was fantastic. Here is my favorite exchange of the "Best of" episode (I'm sure you had to be there to fully appreciate it):

First Girl to Cop: I want my $20 back. She said she was going to buy me crack with it and all she gave me was dry wall.
Second Girl to Cop (indignant): I ain't no drug dealer. I'm a prostitute!

I know, it's your favorite show too.

Traffic Nonsense

I don't get why you have to signal if you 're in a turn only lane.

I don't get why people will not move to the left when you are trying to merge onto the freeway.

I don't get why people don't make a call on their cell phone until they get into the car.

I don't get why people tailgate you when there are other lanes open.

I don't get why people have to get into the fast lane and then go slow.

I don't get why people will speed up so you can't pass them and then slow down.

Loser!!!

Ok, so I totally wasn't going to look up Michael's score to see if he won #8 before the race. I really, really was going to watch it blind. Okay, I totally caved. I'm sorry, I couldn't stand it! I had to know. I'm weak, what can I say. I'm a loser. I can live with that. I hate me.

OMG!!!...Part 2

This is the Mark Spitz I grew to love during his Olympics (1972)...

This is him now.

Something's wrong here! Or is it just me?

OMG!!!

Okay, I can't stand the pressure. Michael Phelps is amazing and I love him. I don't care that he has a freakishly long torso. I don't care that he has freakishly short legs. I don't care that he has freakishly long arms. I do care that he wears a size 14 shoe cuz us girls know what that means! After all he is perfect. I have to tell you that I can't take the pressure of his races so I have to look up the scores before I watch him race. I have to know that he won before I watch him race. I know, Brien thinks it stupid but he doesn't hyperventilate like I do.

Oh, yeah, by the way, I'm so excited for Shawn and Nastia.
