High school musical...

Ok... What the hell happened to my high school?! I graduate, and a couple years later they build a new band hall. I learn they've added piano classes and a new synergy program that combines drama and music. A few years after that I see a notice for a production of Grease, the musical. They had pretty decent props and costumes, wireless mics. This year they have a production of Beauty and the Beast, complete with elaborate costumes and really nice stage props. I ask you, where was all this 12-14 years ago?! Yeah, I was a band and drama geek. I'll admit it. I may not have been very good, but I'm mad that I didn't get to play Mrs. Potts! They all did a great job, though.

Spiderman 3. Good movie, long, pee first, get there early, don't sit close to the screen.

Desperate Housewives. If some stupid little rent-a-cop called me a spoiled bitch (even if I was) I'd kick him in the shin, too.

Brothers & Sisters. Boy, that family can drink.

Happy Bunny says.... I had a dream, and in it, something eats you.

Meathead #1: Yeah, I definitely think I should go to the interview hung over.
Meathead #2: Why's that?
Meathead #1: You know, so I'm more charming and likable.
Both meatheads: Definitely!

We say goodbye to a cultural icon...

At long last, after weeks of yelling at the TV and screaming I did NOT vote for him, Sanjaya has been banished from American Idol. I couldn't help feeling a little sorry for him tonight, however. Can you imagine standing in the middle of a huge stage, hoping to hear that people like you and hearing instead to pack your bags and head home while a theatre full of people cheer that fact? I have to admit I did a little cheering of my own from my recliner, but quickly cut it short upon seeing his stricken expression. It's good he is gone but the poor kid should never have made it into the Top 24, much less the Top 12. I blame Paula and Randy for that one. With all that being said..... "Yay!!!!!!! Sanjaya's gone!"

The slightly bizarre ramblings of a 20-something living in rural Texas. Dashed with humor, anecdotes of her pets and family, attempts at staving off boredom, you'll wonder how you've been living without this riveting analysis of what is "small town life."

Most of the time I'm a laid-back chick; fun-loving, caring, loyal. I'm also stubborn, hard-headed and bitchy sometimes. But, I'm mostly loveable!

I've heard a couple of things over the years that have made me feel vindicated in my not so successful quest for the perfect body. I read a news article covering a dog that attacked a young woman, who happened to be overweight. The dog went for the throat and would have killed its victim save for the fact that she was nicely padded with extra poundage. Therefore, I have decided that I am fat to protect myself against freak accidents such as these. I then came across the statement, "We all get heavier as we get older because there's a lot more information in our heads." So I then decided that I'm not really fat, I'm just extraordinarily intelligent and my head couldn't hold anymore information so it started to fill up the rest of me! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
