Can't miss this one!

There's a new movie coming out called Cellular. Basically, a kidnapped police officer gets through to a guy on his cell phone and asks him to help her out. All I can say is that if the person she called has SprintPCS, she might as well just give up now. Her call will certainly be dropped!

The greatest let-down in confection history

As my friends and my waistline are well aware, my favorite meal is dessert. So, I consider myself a bit of an expert on all things sugar-related. Recently a friend of mine mentioned to me that he had seen Reese's Pieces with Peanuts in his Chicago office, and since I enjoy both Reese's Pieces and M&Ms with peanuts, I thought I should try this new product. Well, two weeks later, the new RP variety made a cameo at my office out in the suburbs. From the title of this post, you've probably gathered that I did not care for this latest Hershey creation. Luckily, it's a "limited edition" so it won't be on the shelves forever, but I urge you not to give into the flashy packaging and intriguing idea!

Too much time on your hands?

Try Lemmings!  It's no "The Incredible Machine," but Lemmings is a classic puzzle game.  If you get addicted, don't call me!

Random Humor

Back in college, my friends and I celebrated Hostility Day on Thursdays.  Essentially it was a way to blow off steam from the rigors of Wake Forest.  So, in the spirit of Hostility Day, I'd like to share "Ode To the Morning."  It's a completely random rant, but it always makes me laugh.  Enjoy!

Quality Television

My parents, my mother especially, raised me to stay away from the TV.   My sister and I were restricted to 1 hour of TV a day, and over the summer we had to read to earn TV time.  Is it some sort of act of rebellion that I enjoy watching now?  Anywho, I would like to take this opportunity to recommend The Amazing Race because it is the greatest show ever.  Here's why:

1.  No voting off.  Teams are eliminated because they come in last on a certain race leg.
2.  The editors don't take the show too seriously
3.  The host is hot
4.  You can read the funny recaps at Television Without Pity after you've watched the show or to catch up if you miss a week
5.  You can discuss the show with me!

Testing, testing, one....

So I signed up for this just to comment on another blog, but why not jump right into sharing my thoughts with people who didn't ask for them anyway?  As a character in Annie Hall once said, "I'm shallow and don't have anything interesting to say."  Still, perhaps something witty will come to me eventually.  Who knows?  If it does, I'll be sure to share it on here!

Interesting thing:  when I spell-checked this entry, the only error it pointed out was the word "blog."  Hmm.  I understand that it's not a word, but I would think this particular website would allow it.  Crazy Internet!
