In honor of this blogs' namesake....
Yes, forgive my random loud screaming at the very beginning- I was really excited when I realized what song they were going to play.
Just completed my third read of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The bit about Snape always makes me emo because I'm a tard. Oy vey.
Speaking of Oy Vey-ness, I was watching Robin Hood Men In Tights the other day... Mel Brooks is fucking awesome. He's always in his own movies in some way, but I think this was his biggest role in any of them that I've seen. He plays a rabbi who drives around on a cart with barrels of 'sacramental wine'... lol
Robin: I am Robin of Loxley and these are my merry men!
mel brooks as rabbi: fagellas? (fags/gays for all you needing translation)
Robin: No, we're straight.
CLASSIC. Young Frankenstein is the best, probably followed by the Matthew Broderick remake of The Producers, Robin Hood Men In Tights, and then Blazing Saddles. Seriously, Mel Brooks just wins at life. So much better than Monty Python.
Best bit of this episode of Are You Being Served. German Week!

pompous asshats
Dear (insert name of my city),
The 'downtown revitilization' project is a waste of time and money. How about fixing our roads instead? You know, because nobody is going to want to come to this little place if the roads are as awful as they are. I drive to Costco and there's one street that is so awful I'm always slightly worried I'll get a flat tire from driving it. There are potholes, shoddy old repairs of the road (and I mean complete crap).... I mean, I know that the streets with all the giant houses- the really wealthy streets- get fixed in a flash. They even put in road dividers with plants in them. You bunch of pompous assholes don't deserve to live in this city. You treat people who live in apartments like second-class citizens. Not everyone was born into multi-million dollar nepotism. Douchebags.
with that said, i'm going to go watch the Golden Girls. Old lady comedy from 1985 for the win!

man vs... squirrel?
Rented 'The Women'... worst movie i've seen in a very long time. had the potential to be good, but it was crap unfortunately.
Currently watching Man Vs Wild. Bear Grylls is the fuckin man. That brings us to The List of People Kate Thinks are Badass.
The Badass Award goes to the following individuals:
Bear Grylls and Dean Karnazes. Everybody already knows Bear, but Karno is like, insane.
He did 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 consecutive days. He completed all four of the Last Desert series races (total of 621 miles through rural deserts in chile, china, the sahara and antarctica). He's done a 24 hour bike ride, a 48 hour run. He won the Badwater Ultramarathon (135 miles thru Death Valley in 130 degree weather).
So Bear and Karno win the badass award.
Awe, Bear is making a noose to kill squirrels in Sibera... I like squirrels so that saddens me... poo.
anyway...

shake your head girl with the ponytail
So far in 2009....
I have a brand new baby niece, a cavity, and I've gained five pounds over the holidays. FUN.
My niece was born on Monday. I heart her. She's very adorable. She likes to wiggle a lot, but she also likes to be completely smothered in blankets and a little hat. This equates to: she was wiggling and wiggled her feet right out of her blankets, at which point she started crying (the pissed off cry) and we were all laughing because it was so cute. She was mad because her feet were out even though shes the one who wiggled them out. Very cute. Little Gracie. My mother wants to call her by her middle name, Sumiko, but we think she might get confused (my mother, not the baby) and go from one name to the next, and somehow end up calling her something entirely different. My parents are both really happy- my mother, much more than my father- to have another grandchild.
I have a cavity! Le peup. I take really good care of my teeth so I know it's my recurring problem of having weak enamel. My other fillings have also been due to that.
We won't talk about my gaining weight because I ate too much. :(
Books I'm Reading
The Art of Happiness, A Handbook for Living His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Blonde Like Me: The Roots of the Blonde Myth in Our Culture Natalia Iliyn
The Age of Anxiety: A History of America's Turbulent Affair with Tranquilizers Andrea Tone
