The One Where My Site Has Pop-Ups
Argh. Sorry about the pop-ups, I have no idea where they're coming from. And I certainly do not endorse whatever the pop-ups are advertising. I HATE POP UPS!!! ESPECIALLY ADULTEROUS ONES!!!
 | Speaking of adultery, Michelle Branch, the one respectable female role model musician left, has attempted to generate cd sales using this shameless display of T&A. Sell out!

The One With The Christmas Rundown
A question my daddy asked me on the way to our family Christmas party: "Who is the Second Noel?"
'Twas a wondrous Christmas yet again, the perfect occasion in which to partake in copious alcohol consumption, guilt-free! Some really great wine was being served at our annual family gathering and who am I to pass up such luxury? Perhaps my taste buds are not "cultured" enough, but I learned that a $250 bottle of 1999 Opus One tastes almost exactly like a $20 bottle of generic merlot from the local AM/PM. The only difference is that you feel like a total rock star! Ah.. livin' the good life, even for a few hours (or however long your buzz lasts) is pretty damn sweeet.
I got some kick ass present$, too. I love them all, but this one I am particularly delighted by:
It's an Ecosphere, a self-contained, self-sustaining ecosystem. I've been wanting this for forever. It's the perfect mix of biology and art, and most importantly, it's an aquarium you DON'T HAVE TO FEED OR CLEAN OR TAKE CARE OF!!! Does that say "Nancy" all over it, or what?!?!?!
Here's a closer look at my new little pets, who decided to get together and smile for their new master:
I LOVE IT!!!
I have to go now, there's a Forensic Files marathon on! Do the Christmas treats ever end? :)

The One Where I Went To A Hockey Game
I attended my very first hockey game today! It was the San Jose Sharks vs. Mighty Ducks. I really don't remember very many things as a) I don't know anything about hockey, and b) most of my attention was focused on the huge crowd and possibility of harmful flu microbes swimming through the immense stature of the arena and hovering over my air tract. In light of the flu pandemic warning, I have become increasingly aware of any foreign, undisinfected surfaces to the point of utter insanity. For instance, I just finished rubbing the bottom of my handbag (which came into contact with the floor of the arena) with antibacterial gel. The thought of being bedridden for weeks, especially during this most spectacular season of corporate commercialism, panics me more than an orange terror level!
Other than that, I had a blast!

The One With My Good Grades
I amazed myself by getting good grades this quarter! I'm really proud of myself. I decided that I deserved something pretty, but after a few seconds of thinking of what I wanted the most, I realized: I don't really want anything. Nothing materialistic, that is. Either I have everything I need already, or I don't know what the hell is wrong with me. Oh my god, I am getting old.

The One With Another Movie Review
I caught an screening of this movie tonight and let me warn the parents out there: This is not a movie you want to take your kids to. Have you ever imagined that a remake of a classic fairy tale would involve underaged partial nudity? Guess again! Oh and if you're anything like me, you should prepare yourself for VERY GRAPHIC feet shots. Gross!
Other than that, it wasn't too bad. The cinematography was great.

The One With The 5-second Movie Review
"I passed through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, through the sea of twirly swirly gum drops, and then I walked through the Lincoln Tunnel." -Elf
I saw this movie months ago when it first came out and I must say, I haven't laughed so much during a movie before and I haven't since then. It was so funny that I accidentally spit on my companion during one of my many bursts of laughter. An A in my book!

Okay, I'm off to fail the final. Bye bye now.
[Addendum] My hatred would turn to admiration should he pass me despite my mediocre grades.

The One Where It's Finals Week
This is the reason why I've been MIA (in some respects) for the past 3 months. It's finals week, and I'm about to spend 5 days getting very cozy with these books. And if nobody hears from me ever again, it's probably because I had a brain hemorrhage due to educational overconsumption. Just so you know.

The One With The Annoying Neighbors (Again)
I may hate (loathe) the little town in which I live, but I give MADDD PROPS to our police department. MADD PROPS.
I've had many a battle with the Annoying Mofo Neighbors blasting the Mariachi music. They like to broadcast their love for annoying Mexican music loudly and proudly sing along with it. I have nothing against this music, in fact I enjoy it while eating enchiladas at Chevy's. But not in the middle of the night (at 1:30 am!) when I'm trying to surf the net for hot Colin Farrell (scroll down for a good one, by the way) and Michael Vartan pictures. It's a mood killer, you know ... you're peacefully having a moment with a beautiful JPEG and then you're rudely interrupted by a unanimous "ARRRRRRIBAAA WEEEE!!!!" by the Mofos you have the unfortunate pleasure of living across the backyard from.
Anyway ... so I tried to tolerate this annoying racket by laying here, knawing on my bedsheets hoping they'll shut the hell up. Well that lasted about a nanosecond so I decided to call the police. I've hit my boiling point by this time. I told them about the apparent Fiesta going on in my neighbors backyard and they were more than happy to "check it out" as the operator told me.
I have no idea what compelled me to actually walk outside and up the block in the middle of the night, but I did. I think I wanted to get the house's address for future reference. It seems that the fear of abduction that Forensic Files instilled in me dissipated as soon as the Mexican music had unleashed my inner devil. Anyway, what was I saying.. oh yeah, I walked outside, not even 5 minutes had passed after I called the police and I already saw an officer walking around, determined to find the source of the annoying screeching! Isn't that awesome! If only the post office worked with such speed and valor! So I walked back down to my house, and whaddayouknow .. Satan's Screech had stopped! Hooray!!! Nancy: 1, Stupid Ass Annoying Mofo Neighbors: 0!!!
So yeah, moral of the story: police officers are evil for issuing traffic citations and ganging up on people up beating them up with police sticks and all, but they're totally awesome when you need to tell off some neighbors in the middle of the night! :-D
