over the hump (and the lady lumps)

I figure it’s no longer kind to leave that scary Fergie pic at the top of my blog.  Seriously, that thing scarred me for life and took away my childhood.  Which, of course, is why I had to share it with all of you.

It’s Thursday, which means I am one step closer to Friday and a weekend’s worth of relaxation.  I’m going to do fun stuff like laundry, dishes, and working on backing up all my files before I reinstall OS X.  But honestly, after all the activities I’ve had going on lately, I’m totally OK with a quiet weekend at home.  And that means that tonight we’re going to the super awesome vegetarian restaurant/temple for some good eatin’.  I can’t wait!

huzzah! success.

Sometimes it’s like I never used to have to make a living troubleshooting computer problems.  And you know what?  I’m OK with that, until I have a problem with my own computer.  I’m so USED to my Mac at home that I’m all durrr, what’s a dll? when I have to figure out WTF is wrong with a PC application.

The iTunes crashing incident has (thus far) been thwarted.  My last.fm plug-in was what appeared to be causing it to crash, so I jumped on their forums and found a different plug-in to try.  It all seems to be OK for now. 

…for now.

baby, it’s cold outside

Yesterday, while other people insisted on leaving their homes and driving on the slick, icy Dallas streets, I barely left the warm confines of my bed.  I read two books, cuddled with my cats, and talked on the phone. 

Best.  Sunday.  Ever.

An Open Letter to Nicole Kidman

Dear Nicole,

Let me open this letter by telling you how much I loved you in Moulin Rouge.  It wasn’t the first time I had enjoyed one of our cinematic performances, but it’s by far my favorite.  You’re beautiful, your voice is great, I loved it.  Great job!  Also, I want to tell you how happy I am that you’re rid of Crazy Cruise and are moving on with your life.  Congratulations on not being impregnated with his evil alien sperm.

But really.  Nicole.  Who do you think you are kidding with this?


(picture from gofugyourself.com)

Nik, darling, he looks like a woman.  In fact, I’ve seen so few pictures of you two crazy kids together that I’d be more inclined to think this was YOU posing as a Grammy award winning Australian country singer.  You have matching sternums!  And noses!  Though he lacks your perpetual look of surprise, he could be your sister.

Speaking of the Botox, please think about laying off of it soon.  When you smile on the red carpet I get afraid that your entire face is going to snap like a rubberband.  Of course, that’s when you can school it into an expression other than perpetual surprise, which doesn’t seem often these days.  But maybe the surprised look is NOT the Botox…if I woke up to the aforementioned Mr. Urban every morning, I’d be surprised I wasn’t running the hell away too.

Love and kisses,
Jess

Call the Brain Trust! They must hire Vanilla Ice…

From an interview with The Washington Post, RE: playing concerts in Europe.

Just got back from Russia and played huge stadiums over there — 35,000 people a show. They’re out of that iron claw thing now, so any American act that plays there is really huge.

Seriously?  That iron claw thing?
Wow.

a question for the ages

I love clementine oranges, but I have to wonder…do I love them because they taste so good, or just because they’re so damn tiny and totally cute?  Would tiny fruit taste as good if it was fully grown?  The world may never know.

my Nintendo DS rules

I’m obsessively playing Kirby: Canvas Curse right now, and I am going to pop in Meteos just as soon as I feel that I can stop with Kirby for a while.  There are some super sweet games that just came out or are coming out for the Nintendo DS, and I can’t wait to get my hands on them.

  • Tetris DS
  • Resident Evil DS
  • Age of Empires: The Age of Kings
  • Black & White: Creatures
  • Brain Age
  • Super Mario Brothers DS

Yes, I’m aware I’m a super geek.  I don’t care…my DS and I are very happy together.
