Why is there such a fascination/obsession with the Mona Lisa ?
Yeah, I don't know. A friend was just saying that it's not even in the top ten most awesome things at the Louvre.
I totally just hit the wall. Too bad I have to be at work another three hours, at least.
Holy Hannah. The president of Pakistan is on the Daily Show.

Jon Stewart must just sit around giggling at what his little comedy show does.

The Phantom Limb addressed this issue in an episode of
The Venture Bros.
He said it's only famous because it was once stolen. He also compained of it being tiny.
seriously, is there nothing else to talk about?
T.O. tried to overdose.
NYC is thinking about banning trans-fats.

When I first read that, I thought they were thinking of banning farting on the subway.
Happy Birthday, Nicole!
I wish I had the moment I told DH what a Dirty Sanchez was on film--it was gut-busting hilarious. That being said, "Oh, Screech."
My head goes 'splodey with the NIE stuff.
The AP is reporting the GOP has picked the Twin Cities for their 2008 presidential convention. Looks like we're in the clear and I won't have to get the hell out of town.
Owen's quoting Geico commercials now. DH nearly cried and made me promise to teach him to say, "Life comes at you fast."
Chicago's been batting around the trans-fat ban as well. Considering how well their foie gras ban is going (not well at all), I'm guessing they're not going to push it too hard.
I remember the Christmas a bunch of my cousins and I all tried to teach the first of the cousin-sprogs (who was about 20 months at the time) to say "We bad, we bad" like Richard Pryor (Silver Streak had just come out). We also were teaching him the hand gesture switch of going from the OK sign to a thumbs-up, but when he went from the OK sign to flipping the bird instead, we just cracked up and gave up. His mother wasn't too thrilled with us treating Timmy like a trained monkey, but he was soooo cute chirping "We bad! We bad!"
Nothing is more fun than training toddlers to do funny things.
In other news, a restaurant by my house has a big sign that they have Ramadan Special Iftar Boxes for $4.99. Is it weird if I get one? I don't know what's inside, but hey -- five bucks!
