thunderballs!

The best things in life are free. BUM BUM BUM you can tell that to the birds and bees i want the money its what i want

okay bad 80s music that i don't even like aside, here's some things i like that may or may not cost money.



1. Macaroni and cheese.
Yes, the kind out of the box with the powdered cheese and so much salt that your arteries may clog up and you'll die while eating it. IT WINS. I'm actually waiting for my Trader Joe's mac n cheese noodles to cook right now. cost: 2 bucks or so.


2. Hugh Jackman.
The best things in life are clearly free when I can stand in Border's book store and casually flip through the pages of People magazine to see the extremely sexy and very cool Hugh Jackman as the "sexiest man alive." Thank you People magazine for all those great photos. Besides, other than being really good looking, he's funny as hell, a fantastic actor, has adorable children and a NORMAL LOOKING NON BIMBO ESQUE wife. How fucking refreshing, eh ladies? Kudos to Hugh.

3. this is the BEST tabloid headline EVER:

LMFAO. I nearly peed myself when i came across this on google images. Whoever came up with this wins at life and deserves a pie because that title is fucking funny. poor daniel craig. i mean, he has an AMAZING AMAZING body but come on, do pictures of the man adjusting the tiny shorts need to be put in a magazine? PRICELESS.

Nissans = fail. volvo c30 = hot

Here's one thing I'd like to know:

Why is it that NISSAN cars magically all look like current Lexus models? Seriously. Lexus releases their models and then shortly thereafter, oh look, big surprise, Nissan releases their models which resemble Lexus cars pretty closely.
I was just browsing photos from the top 10 new cars or whatever from the LA Auto Show, and Infiniti (the luxury car division of Nissan) has turned their mighty popular G37 sedan into a convertible. And guess what? It looks like the Lexus SC 430!

I have one thing to say:

Please be original and stop being lazy by basically COPYING other car companies. Seriously. It's Nissan. Which means they're made of plastic basically. My dad got into an accident with a Nissan rental... actually two accidents with Nissan rentals, and both times, the Nissan was far more damaged than the other cars.

So please be original. Flattery is important but my goodness do you think you could design something that doesn't look too much like Lexus? Seriously! I mean, are you trying to create some subliminal messaging so that people who can't afford Lexus or are being cheap will buy a Nissan instead? And you would think that with Infiniti being the luxury counterpart in the company, that maybe their models wouldn't look like Lexus' as well. Apparently I'm wrong.

It's like the Hyundai Genesis. It totally looks like a fucking Mercedes!

BE ORIGINAL. The reason BMW, Mercedes, and Lexus are at the top of the game are because they are INNOVATIVE. Their models don't look like they stole the CAD drawings from other car companies. Am I the only one that is seeing this?

Nobody is stealing Volvo's designs. Thank God actually, because the C30? One hot car.


Can someone please buy me one? I already thought it was an awesome car when I saw the design originally. Then, in the movie adaptation of the Twilight book saga, Edward Cullen drives one and... oh. It sounds so nice. The engine is all grumbly in a good way and obviously the person driving it in the movie was a stunt driver because I highly doubt they would allow Robert Pattinson to drive like he did skidding around like a Mercedes-Benz advert... But I digress. It's a fucking awesome car.

ass kicking? perhaps not

Since Bill Maher is on my list of cool people, despite how obnoxious and cynical he is, I'm now going to be putting bits on this blog from his book that was published a few years ago. The book is New Rules and you should buy it for a staunch conservative homophobic closeted gay SUV driving republican this holiday season. I say that because I am an asshole. Get over it.


New Rule

Bush Whack
George Bush must stop saying he owes all his success to Laura. George Bush owes all his success to his daddy, his daddy's friends, trust funds, legacy admissions, the National Guard, the Supreme Court, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, and AA.


Next time, who knows what my obnoxious controversial ideas will spurn for a quote.


By the way, white wine cream sauce is much better than alfredo sauce.

ah, memories.

I am colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside

I am ready
I am ready
I am ready

I am taffy stuck and tongue tied
Stutter shook and uptight
Pull me out from inside

I am ready
I am ready
I am ready

I am fine

I am covered in skin
No one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside
I am folded and unfolded and unfolding
I am colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am fine
I am fine
I am fine.

- 'Colorblind' by Counting Crows.

holy shit. this was SO my favorite song when I was 15. I saw Cruel Intentions and this song was in the movie and then I downloaded it and listened to it on repeat wishing that Ryan Phillippe would show up at my house and serenade me or something. i don't know.

But it's a fucking good song, so there. I had good taste when I was 15, apparently. Go me.

<3 kate.

ps: thoughts and prayers go out to Chi Cheng and his family during this difficult time. (* chi is the bassist for the Deftones, and was in a car accident and now is in a coma- very very sad. especially since it's one of my favorite bands)

Oh Christ, what now?!

1. more fucking bailouts from bush.
As if George W Retard Bush hasn't fucked this country up enough, he's proposing a "free trade" deal with Colombia. HONESTLY. It's not fucking free trade you idiot. You got the fucking definition wrong.

MR. BUSH CAN YOU PLEASE JUST STOP. SERIOUSLY JUST STOP. YOU AREN'T HELPING. You've never done anything right except for screwing everything up so awfully that Bill Maher's jokes will suffer when you are no longer president. Everything you touch turns to shit so just accept that you are completely made of fail, and go lay on a beach somewhere and leave us alone.

Your job isn't actually a video game; people's lives are important enough for you to just stop your insanity.

2. Twilight!


fuck yes! I started reading the books about two weeks ago, and though not anne rice level stuff, it is truly entertaining. Robert Pattinson stars as Edward in the movie adaptation (which comes out next week) and for some reason I find him intriguingly attractive as the character. I thought he was not great looking when he played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter, but maybe it's the skinny, pallid, blood sucking thing going on. Regardless, I'm looking forward to the movie to see how accurate it is to the book...

3. LA Marathon moved to Memorial Day.. what?
Yes that's right folks, the asshat Frank McCourt (owner of the LA Dodgers baseball team) has purchased rights to the LA Marathon and has moved the date from March to the end of May. WHAT THE HELL IS HE THINKING.
Nobody wants to run 26.2 miles with horrid smog when it's 90 degrees outside. Frank McCourt, you are right up there for my Asshat of the Day Award, right along side George W Bush. I hope you get no money and no one runs the race. Asshole.



Yesssss Kate loves vampires. Perhaps if I were a vampire I could scare Frank McCourt to move the date for the marathon.

my finger is a brautwerst

my finger is all retarded looking. Instead of looking like a finger, it looks like some sort of bruised brautwerst. i.e. it's still swollen and looks sausage like, and is purple.



yuck.

murphy's law was clearly written with myself in mind.




Back to reading New Moon (yes I'm one of the fucktards reading the Twilight books.) If it has vampires, I'll read it.


<3 kate

um, clumsy much?

Forgive the weird typing style- my finger is in a freaking splint.,.. here's the story..

I was having a good morning; I'd had coffee (albeit though I had to drink it in like 5 minutes...) and looked at the I Can Has Cheezburger? book, and things were going well. The weather is great. Went shopping for Thanksgiving dishes with my mom, and before we were going to go to Glendale, we stopped at Subway.

Then, instead of being a normal person, I was my clumsy as hell self, and somehow managed to smash part of my left hand in the door. My middle finger was all screwed up and nasty and bleeding- the only part of my hand that was really damaged.

It hurt like hell. As it is Sunday, I couldn't exactly go to my own doctor, so mom and I headed to the Emergency Room. Well they told me it wasn't broken, and that all it was, was a contusion. I thought they were wrong but.... you know, how are you going to tell the nurses or whoever that you're questioning their judgment?

Finally the guy came in to bandage it up and after he finally looked closer at it, he told the other nurse/doctor that she was wrong. But instead of stitches, they put some sort of glue and tape on it cuz apparently there'll be less of a scar that way.


Yeah. THree hours later I left and finally got my Subway sandwich.


Long day.

Back to watching Young Frankenstein!

civil/political commentary.

Obama won, huzzah!



The first presidential election I was able to vote in was an historic one. How nifty is that?

Also, huzzah that Prop 2 passed. Not so much huzzah that homophobe biggots passed Prop 8. NICE GOING, A-HOLES. YEAH. AWESOME. YOU THINK GAYS AND LESBIANS SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO HAVE A CIVIL UNION. YOU WIN AT LIFE.

My question on this is, what is just SO terrifying to you about gays and lesbians being able to marry, huh? One out of three marriages end in divorce. Britney Spears had an embarrasingly short marriage. How is marriage all so sacred between a man and a woman? Please explain that one to me. Most of the reason people get married other than being in love is for other reasons. Property rights. That's why marriage was created in the first place, and then of course the Catholic church decided to spin it around and make it a little different. So let's not forget that folks. Let's not forget that it's an issue of civil rights.

LOVE is what makes a family.


ps: am reading the Twilight saga. Is v. good. Am apparently turning into a twelve year old girl by reading books since teenyboppers are apparently obsessed with them. V. scary.

peace, love and... carnage?

STOP READING THIS BLOG AND GO VOTE DAMN IT.


also, i had this thought earlier.. perhaps i've already had it but my short term memory short circuits a lot..

Vlad Ţepeş v. "Caribou Barbie" = lots o' carnage.

another thought... i kind of wish i were a vampire. i've kind of wished that since i was like 12. yeah. i'm weird. get over it.




EVOLUTION HAPPENED. GOD WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR EVOLUTION. GET OVER IT AND STOP SAYING THE EARTH IS 6000 YEARS OLD WHEN WE HAVE PROOF THAT ART EXISTED 27,000 YEARS AGO.


this post is so going to get me in trouble.

by the way, i'm a total pacifist. i would totally be a hippy without all the druguse man. i so would. peace and love yo.
