Day 18

I was in the car a few days ago when I spotted this Mustang that had a bit of a bumper problem. Okay, a lot of a bumper problem.

It was flapping around all over the place and just crazy looking... as you can tell from the picture. Wonder why they haven't gotten around to fixing it. Seems pretty dangerous to be driving around with the bumper in that condition.

flap flap flap.

That was the sound, seriously.

Blogging for Money

I know, the words are kinda small in the uploaded pic. Click on the link for the bigger version.

This is extra funny to me as a former WoW chick but I'm betting a few others will enjoy it too.

Unfortunately, I have reluctantly decided to skip PINT for yet another week. I'm going down to SD for all of 24 hours to support Clement in his small claims case against a former roommate. It's not fun times and has been quite frustrating. Believe me, you'll be seeing a blog post very soon about small claims court and what a blast we're having with it. (Sarcasm on high.)

Post-It Note Tuesday

It's that time again!

*BP planning duties are outlined in the unofficial MOH handbook... I've never attended a BP or planned one, but I thought this needed clarification because it sounded semantically like it was for me. It's not.

*My friend says sometimes when she puts the iPhone up to her face to call, there will be contact with her cheek and the phone and the phone will decide to call another person.

Shoot, I think I have entirely too much text in here for a PINT post... I'm not supposed to explain these, am I? I promise next week will be better.

Did you hear?

The Official Toy Story 3 Trailer is out.

Yep.

This movie is going to be awesome.

Post-It Note Tuesday

It's raining here in California today, which is both much-needed and a cause for concern. And it's supposed to be 80 again by Friday. That is CA weather for ya...

The Force is strong with this one

My favorite part of this photo has to be the intense concentration on President Obama's face as he wields this elegant weapon, for a more civilized age.

Moving "Truck" Fail

(via failblog)

Terrifying yet truly impressive... doesn't it kinda remind you of Jenga or Katamari Damacy? I'm amazed that they managed to tie what appears to be a fridge, washing machine, AND a mattress up on that little station wagon. And two bikes, or one M.C. Escher bike.

Look how adorable this bride is! Since I'm also quite short, I hope I look this adorable at my wedding!

I love this movie... and own it on DVD.

Like Mad Libs for Bloggers

I am very amused by The Lazy Blogger Post Generator. Fill in blank spots from a drop down menu! Here is mine:

"Holy Blog Of Doom, Batman! I just got slapped with a wet salmon - really - I have not updated this since they invented sliced bread... You would not believe the fairy dust I have to clean up. I hope they bring chocolate!.

I am lost in a sea of pseudo-olde-english with only your readership as life preserver, a ticking crocodile, just generally being Snow White to the secret service, my day starts with the dawn patrol from the second I am woken by murderous Teletubbies to till I fall into bed at midnight. I am wearing my budgie smugglers. it will be fun fun fun till they take my TBird away.

I go, my lords and ladies; just think of me as I battle mine enemies. You wanna test me? Don't hold your breath though, you're likely to turn blue.."

Your turn!

Fleur Avenue shared these fabulous closets to die for. (My favorite is Mariah Carey's... it looks just like a store!)

Unique laptop bags and covers, via Mental Floss, downstream from Funky Trend. (My favorite is the My Document one picture below.)

I also looked through the hilarious and ingenious (and sometimes just wrong) archives of There, I Fixed It, a tribute to DIY gone wrong. I actually recognized many of the photos from Fail Blog.

Did you know about Habitat for Humanity ReStores?? Verbatim from their website, they are

"retail outlets where used and surplus building materials are sold at a fraction of normal prices. Proceeds from ReStores help local affiliates fund the construction of Habitat houses within their communities." (Found out about these stores from the Fierce Beagle.)

I'm addicted to SNL Digital Shorts (Andy Samberg is a riot and a half). From the minds that brought you the infamous D**k in a Box, comes Like A Boss andand Iran So Far Away. But I think I'm On A Boat and Natalie Raps are my favorites. (Mostly because I have the biggest crush on Natalie Portman.) The lyrics, despite the crude cursing, are the cleverest SNL has had in some time and the mockery of entire genres of music amuses me to no end.

(Note - all link are the censored versions but NSFW nonetheless.)

Oh, I'm also addicted to the Vitamin String Quartet but they are worth their own post. Coming soon.

One in Two

Funny story - this morning, I open up my new bottles of shampoo and conditioner and proceeded to take a shower and wash my hair. Wondering why my shampoo wasn't lathering, I checked the label. It turns out that I had mistakenly purchased two bottles of conditioner instead of one shampoo and one conditioner. Go me. Total fail moment.

On the bright side, I have an excuse to make a Target run now. =)

Not Quite A Woman...

I don't know how I feel about all those FaceBook quizzes... I'm slightly annoyed at how often they take over my entire Newsfeed page but otherwise, I find them kind of amusing... until tonight.

I just took one of the FaceBook quizzes to see how "girly" I was. Here is the result:

Shanna took the How GIRLY Are You? quiz and got the result: 0% Girly..

0% Girly: You are all man and no girl."

Um.... what? Did a quiz just tell me that I'm not much of a girl?? I know I'm not much of a "girly girl" but I still wasn't expecting to get a score of zero! Apparently, I am kind of manly?

Most of the responses to my posted quiz score registered a lot of H's and A's.

But seriously, who has time to get manicures and pedicures every week?

Yesterday, at a family gathering, the "grown-ups" had a bit much to drink...

No one understands me! I'm going to write in my LiveJournal while listening to Fall Out Boy and try to let my eyeliner-stained tears ruin my skinny jeans.
