No More Nude Scenes

Well Brad Pitt say no more nude scenes.


http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20163191,00.html

Well I say his career is over. Women only watch his movies for a shirtless moment or the "off with the clothes". I wonder has anyone ever really listen to him speak. Not just the sound of his voice. I may be wrong but I don't know.

unnecessary quotes?

It is the holiday season

Celebrating Festivus

If you are you can buy you Festivus poles here for $38.

TO see others with their Festivus poles go here. You will find Governor Doyle with his Festivus pole there.

You should stop me seriously.

Ok I watch two of televisions most awful reality shows. Why, would I watch something that I find awful? Well. Entertainment. Now some of you like to look down your nose at my tv picks but they are probably why I am cooler than you.

Brace yourself.

The Real Housewives of Orange County and the Hills are two shows that are must sees for me.

I am now going to link to a few blogs that make fun of these shows and their characters (I mean human being people). I must say that I haven't tried The Real Housewives while drinking lots of red wine. I am about to start though.

The Housewives

The Hills

http://doodlewhore.blogspot.com/2007/10/hills-deconstructed-working-girl.html

That's it for now.

I must be old

So I was looking at my niece's Facebook page and her status said "is happi 2 b..."

Now I don't know why you would spell happy with a I. Maybe its cool. Maybe I need to tell her to think about it like this. Every time you put something on the internet you are representing yourself to anybody who reads it. Not necessarily who you think you are represent yourself to either.

Educators, future employers and anybody else that has something we want uses the things they find to narrow down the opportunity. I guess being cool is something but being intelligent (like I know my niece is) and looking intelligent is something else entirely.

Look at me go

Well I have been reading again.

New subject:
Cuba
embrago
Castro (Fidel and Raul)
new US president

What do you think will happen and how long?

So I did it

I finally broke down and bought a subscription to The Economist. Such a expensive magazine but interesting none-the-less. Well I read a very short blurb about Amazon's new e-book Kindle. It cost $399. I don't know about this. I am definitely not buying a $399 device to read e-material. I think it would be nice to have something like it but that's steep to me. Maybe I am just cheap.

I can't wait to see how this thing does. Ideas, comments?

Thanksgiving is over

Now it's time for Christmas. Well I must say that I am very excited. You know for the time you get to spend with people and the exchanging of gifts. I am not going to lie, I love getting gifts just as much as I love giving them. When I say gifts I am not talking extravagant things. Here's my list:

A Box Grater (for cheese and veggies)
Mattress pad (full-size)
Wine Glasses (White and red)
Cast Iron Skillet
Tea Pot
Wine rack
Business Card Case
Snoopy Sno Cone Machine
2 White Pillow Cases
Beer Bottle Cap Opener

My Christmas List Web Page

Simple things. The most important of the day is the bottle opener. I bought a 6-pack of 312 and got it home realized it wasn't twist off. Why would it be? Had to use the can opener. It has a thing.

Back to why I like Christmas. Like Thanksgiving there is a lot of food and dessert.

Now to get to what will limit my Christmas celebrating the most. I have allergies. I know lots of doctors will says people aren't allergic to Christmas trees. Well I have been tested and I am allergic to ever green trees and I am pretty sure the pine falls into that category. So if you have a real tree and I decline an invitation to your house, don't feel bad. I don't want to get sick.

I have decided that after Christmas this year I am going to buy myself a nice sale priced fake tree. It should be fun.

So let's have fun this Christmas. I wish everyone a good holiday season and I hope you don't have to shop on Christmas Eve.

Holiday Flavoered Beverages

So I must link to this one to. It's PopCandy's Whitney trying those Jones' holiday sodas. She has pictures of her after trying them. I thought that the names alone wold keep me away from the stuff but the faces she makes seals the deal.

Beard Cap

This just may be one of the essentials this winter.  With Novembeard starting to wrap up and Decembeard on it way this may a good gift.

People think I make these things up.  So I am so happy for the internet and it's links.

50 Greatest Fictional Weapons

So here's the link:

Some I am afraid to find out about.  Anyway I think this is a pretty fun think.  I am not sure about you but when I was a kid I probably fictional battled someone wielding one or two of them. 

Have you ever had a argument with some about how your powers allowed you to survive a blow from there weapon?

Want to be my bestfriend?

Well if you do you should bring me a Gingerbread Latte from Starbucks. I tried it yesterday and loved it. I also love the pumpkin spice lattes.
