Peace The Fuck Out

I wish the presidential election was tomorrow.


I'm already sick of hearing opinions out the wazoo and it's difficult to keep up my "Ladies don't talk politics." The only opinions I want to hear are from people who actually know something and don't just repeat what they hear on the news or what their parents or Rolling Stone says.


In other news, the US Open is on, which equals love for me. I haven't picked who I am pulling for to win this year. We still have a week to go, though, so I have time.


In other other news, Serena recently got cats. I am not a cat person...at all, but it has surprised me to find out how many people are. It baffles me. I'm hoping her kittens grow up to be cat-dogs (you know what I mean, right?), but the majority of cats are gross and I can't understand what people love about them. They slink around and try to get near your food. Dogs rule.


So, a vote: are you a cat or dog fan???

All You Need Is Love

I started watching How I Met Your Mother from the very beginning last night and I love love love it! I had seen it before-whenever I was around when it came on, but never from the beginning.

Top 7.5 Reasons Why I Love This Show:
7.5. They drin...
7. It's legendary.
6. Quick, witty dialogue. It's like a fix for my lack of Gilmore Girls.
5. They phone-five.
4. The Freaks and Geeks guy.
3. Doogie!
2. Bob Saget rules
1. They're constantly meeting up at the bar. "Meet me in 15. Suit up!"


Anyone else a fan?

Bring It All Down

• I have to wear all of my summery dresses this week because once Labor Day has come and gone, it's straight into Fall for me. Not that I'm a "No White After Labor Day" believer, but I like to think that if I start living like it's Fall, then Fall will come sooner.
• So the Olympics are just about over. I can't believe the last sport they showed on TV was men's volleyball. Was that aimed at me? Because add that to my list of sports that should never be on network TV. Good Lord!
• I had really good Thai food last night. Seafood drunken noodles. I was going to get something new, but mis amigas said the drunken noodles were really good there. They did not lie. And have I mentioned I love scallops?
• I actually really like the United Airlines commercials because of their use of Gershwin's Rhapsody In Blue...however, where is the amazing clarinet beginning? Tsktsk.
• Today I wore a dress with leggings. No one saw me since I just relaxed at home, but I have to say it's one of the most comfortable things I've ever worn. I <3>
• Track and Field would get more respect from me if they didn't look like they were wearing more makeup than me when they run their races. And hair down? Just seems wrong-like when you see swimming footage from 20 years ago and they're not wearing swim caps.
  
• I've got plans. Big plans.
• I'm going to the Redskins game on Thursday!!!! I can't wait to heckle.
• I'd love a beer right now.
  
• Speaking of football.
  
• Yummmmm

Transport Is Arranged

Did you hear about the tragic story of the 18-wheeler falling off the Bay Bridge on Sunday? Here is a picture of it Ali and I took on our way across. We got stuck in about two hours of traffic waiting to cross, but who can complain when someone died. The goosebump worthy thought is that we had planned on leaving two hours earlier.

Hold Up

Why are the following Olympic sports? (or sports at all?):

women's basketball
field hockey
softball


They all kinda suck.

Feeling Yourself Disintegrate

List Form:

• I can't find my copy of Breaking Dawn. I hope they introduce a new character because I don't like Edward or Jacob....but today I read the synopsis and already know a little of what happens-oops!
• I had a horrible day at work the other day. I was literally exhausted and it was just too much at one point. My boos helped me out, though. Especially one. <3
• Me, Terra, Serena, and Ali are going white water rafting this Saturday! I have never been and am uber excited.
  
• Ali and I are going to The OC on Sunday! OMG. Beyond excited for that.
  
• So You Think You Can Dance ends tonight=/ I'm sad Katee didn't win. I like Joshua and Twitch, but she's the best dancer in my opinion.
  
• I am bored with Starbucks. They need to introduce new flavors and smoothies.
  
• The Faint CD is a lot of fun.
  
• I love salad.
  
• Mad Men is the best show on TV now that SYTYCD has ended (congrats, Joshua!), but Gilmore Girls is still the best show ever:)
  
• I had chocolate covered blueberries from Maine and they were hella good.
  
• Twitter cracks me up. It provides endless entertainment for me.
  
• I ate non-fried calamari and it was interesting and GOOD.
  
• I have to pack tonight. Gah!
