Schoolin' in Texas

The gym… or pizza and old episodes of Desperate Housewives. Which do you think I chose?

Some things will never get old
AIG: they really don't get it
From HuffPo:
A growing bipartisan chorus of lawmakers are condemning insurance giant AIG for deciding to pay out $165 million in bonuses despite receiving $170 billion in taxpayer bailout funds and some are demanding that AIG renounce the bonuses - or else.
How were AIG’s PR people planning on spinning this? It’s just one big “Fuck You” to America. Thanks, guys.
Elmo is awesome!
My little nephew’s current favorite thing in the world is Elmo, so I have seen many videos of the cute little puppet. But never like this!
“It’s called acting, Mr. Gervais. Acting.”
Thanks Google, I have been waiting for this
Google Voice: so I never have to listen to another voicemail again
From Mashable:
The service looks a lot like Gmai for voicemail, although you don’t have to be a Gmail user to use it. It lets you retrieve transcripts of your voicemail, archive and search all your sent and received SMS messages, and you can make calls directly from Google Voice’s interface. The calls are free in the US,...

I think I’m the only person in LA under the age of 30 who doesn’t have a tattoo. Maybe even under the of age 35.

Snow Leopard to Add 4-Finger Multi-Touch Gestures to Original MacBook Air
When Apple introduced the new MacBooks, MacBook Airs, and MacBook Pros in October, they also introduced a new four-finger multi-touch trackpad gesture that allowed users to easily switch between applications (swipe left/right) or invoke Exposé (swipe up/down). While it’s long been known that the original MacBook Air...

Kate Nash is marrying Ryan Jarman
Why??? If you don’t know Kate, get to know her. She’s fantastic. But she’s only 21! Too young! I’m missing something.
Happy Birthday Mom!
I was busy reading F*** My Life when I received an email from my mom informing me that a study for acne medication was starting and they needed volunteers in case I was interested.
Thanks Mom.

You know you are new to LA when...
I was driving home and the few blocks around my house were closed off. I naturally assume they are fixing the roads.
Nope! It’s the Oscars!
There are pretty pink flyers taped to the lampposts informing me that beautiful, rich people will be having some sort of party in my neighborhood tonight. I’m not invited.
How to make me cry first thing in the morning
From The Boston Globe:
It has become a beloved ritual at Dana-Farber (Cancer Institute): Every day, children who come to the clinic write their names on sheets of paper and tape them to the windows of the walkway for ironworkers to see. And, every day, the ironworkers paint the names onto I-beams and hoist them into place as they add floors to the new 14-story Yawkey Center for Cancer Care.

Oops, our mistake, pay up
This must sting:
When Microsoft laid off 1,400 workers last month, they apparently made an accounting error and paid out too much in severance. Now they want it back.
You are currently unemployed? Unable to find another job? You can’t afford your mortgage/rent/health insurance/food? Really sorry about that. Could you “please make your check or money order payable to ‘Microsoft...
Public drunkenness - always a good time
Oh, college
NYU students have occupied their food court to demand their school be “more accountable, democratic, and socially responsible”. The good part, though, is the agony over a lack of cigarette breaks and vegan food. Some things never change.

“Dammit I’m Mad”
by
Demetri Martin
Dammit I’m mad. Evil is a deed as I live. God, am I reviled? I rise, my bed on a sun, I melt. To be not one man emanating is sad. I piss. Alas, it is so late. Who stops to help? Man, it is hot. I’m in it. I tell. I am not a devil. I level “Mad Dog”. Ah, say burning is, as a deified gulp, In my...
I am such a cheeseball!
I still love this commercial! I eat this stuff up.
Why are they only airing this commercial in California though? Isn’t that just preaching to the choir?

Army suicide rate highest in 30 years
“In January…we lost more soldiers to suicide than to al Qaeda.” said Paul Rieckhoff, the founder and executive director of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America when he appeared on The Rachel Maddow Show this week.
Rieckhoff said that his group is advocating for mandatory mental health counseling and advance funding of the VA.
That's the best your flacks could come up with?
Blackwater Worldwide is changing it’s name to Xe. Xe? Gosh that sounds so wholesome, it almost makes me forget about all of those Iraqi civilians that were killed for no reason.
Oh wait, no it doesn’t at all.
Sighting at the Grove
Just saw the Janitor from Scrubs at the Grove.
“Why do i care?” you ask? I have no idea, but I know you do, otherwise Perez Hilton wouldn’t be as successful as he is.
Gavin Newsom is running for governor
I mean he’s putting together an “exploratory campaign”
Thoughts?
The gods are on my side
I have dropped 4 different glasses/mugs onto hardwood/tile in the last 24 hours and not one has broken - plus there are no sisters around to make fun of me. I must have done something right in another life
My name never sounded so good!
My baby nephew can say my name! And apparently it’s his new favorite word!
That makes me so happy - way happier than when my gym teacher was trying to learn my name this morning by going around our weight lifting class singing it. That was just strange.
39% of Americans believe in evolution
They must not have seen the latest research about the magical fairy dust.
From Gallup:
There is a strong relationship between education and belief in Darwin’s theory, as might be expected, ranging from 21% of those with high-school educations or less to 74% of those with postgraduate degrees.
With friends like these
From Gawker
People are pissed off about YoBusted.com: It posts embarrassing pictures and won’t take them down unless you pay a “membership fee.” Welcome to the photo-extortion hell celebrities already live in.
Apparently, your ‘friends’ submit pictures of you and then get a kickback if you pay the fee.
The worst part is that I naturally need to go see these cruel...
