Tag!

So usually I don't do tags. Mostly because I am never actually tagged. But my friend Coralie tagged me (well, there are two Cindy's but I'm just going to assume she means both of us) for this photo op. The thing was to go to your sixth album and post the sixth picture in that album. The photo Coralie posted is super cute. It's a pic of her and her son on Halloween. They both look darling. As usual. My photo (as you can see) is me shoving an entire piece of french toast from Kneaders into my mouth because a.) they have an all you can eat french toast breakfast, and b.) someone dared me to see if it was possible. As you can see, it is possible. But I don't recommend it.

Law and Order: I NEED

Dear L & O, I am sorry I have been neglecting you the past few days. I know I know, a few days isn't really even that long, but in my world it is too long. You are like an addiction; I need you every day or else my life doesn't seem worth it. I've been too busy during the day to watch you, and I have looked everywhere for full episodes online but I don't think they exist. How can you be on TV for 20 of the 24 hours of a day, but you refuse to put a show or two on hulu? I don't get it. Anyways, until I can find an hour for you, I will watch old school Ice-T (real name: Tracy Marrow) and remember the good old days. Back when I could spend hours with you and relish the moments. Love, Cindy (PS Did you know Ice-T called Soulja boy's music garbage?! How did I miss this?! DRAMA!)

Mardi Gras and Congress

Wow. Today was a BIG day. Mardi Gras!!! Or as I like to call it, Fat Tuesday. I thought I'd share a little tidbit about this glorious holiday, but let's be honest: its all about booze and beads. I think the best thing I read on the Wikipedia entry is its excerpt on the celebrations in Slovenia: In Slovenia it is called Kurentovanje . It's from the word Kurent which is the name of a mask, made of sheep skin and richly decorated. People make noise with bells attached on their hips. It's also one of the traditions to eat doughnuts. Short and sweet. And who doesn't like doughnuts. I want to celebrate Mardi Gras in Slovenia next year!! (hey! if I go to France that could totally happen!!!) Anyways, today was also important because President Obama gave his first Congress Address. I don't know how many of you watched it, but it was like a roller coaster of Nancy Pelosi going up and down. Seriously. After awhile you would notice her preparing to get ready to ju...

Oscar Predictions

My love for the Oscars was really solidified last year when I attended my very first Oscar Party. I mean, I had always loved the red carpet before the show, but last year I really felt like I could enjoy the actual ceremony. I was happy for those who won when they deserved it and I was bitter when the Academy was wrong. (We can all thank Blake for making me hate the Academy) Anyways. I'm sad I can't be in attendance at the Oscar Party this year. Like, foreal sad. I will relish the Oscar Magic through the spirit of the season. The Oscar Season. Oh, and the point of this post is to announce my picks: Actor in a Leading Role: Sean Penn Milk Actor in a Supporting Role: Heath Ledger The Dark Knight Actress in a Leading Role: Meryl Streep Doubt Actress in a Supporting Role: Taraji P. Henson The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Animated Feature Film: Wall-E Adapted Screenplay: Slumdog Millionaire Original Screenplay: Milk Best Directing: Slumdog Millionaire Best Picture: ...

I Still Hate Cats

Probably more than ever before. You know those two cats that my family got in August or whenever they got them (aka the worst day of my life)? A couple months ago they were taken to be 'fixed'. You know, like Bob Barker always said to do. Get those things spayed or neutered. Well, I guess there's a limit on how many male cats and how many female cats can be done in one day with the place my family went. Because they had more male spots open but they were all booked up with females. (excuse me, but wtf?) So we only got the boy cat fixed. Oh and they have names but I don't really know them. Well, the female cat (whom I just refer to as 'cat' or 'piece of crap') just decided she'd go through heat. Gross. Disgusting. Annoying. Ridiculous. This cat will not stop meowing in sexual frustration. It will not stop humping random objects or other animals (it has been trying to work it with one of the dogs and this dog has almost mauled the cat. i'm...

Valentine's Day!

i love Valentine's Day. so so so so much. i hope everyone had a most excellent day with those they love most. or at least someone they don't hate. it makes the holiday even better. my valentines day meant waking up semi-late, not showering, going to the zoo with my awesome friends, feeding bugs to the birds, eating fish tacos, maybe also eating a blizzard treat from DQ, drinking diet coke, watching three glorious episodes of law and order, and topping it all off with a dip in the hot tub. it was superb! this year i made my own valentines day cards. i tried to write a little poem in each of my friends cards to represent our relationship. there is one friend who doesn't really like to be touched (he has a big personal bubble). this the poem i wrote for him: roses are red, violets are blue this valentines day, i promise not to touch you. (the gift that keeps on giving ) ( PS Rubi -I went to the grocery store last week and had to buy this/take its picture for you... ) ( fo...
