And again and again...

Chuck Norris' first job was as a paperboy. There were no survivors.

There are two types of people in the world... people that suck, and Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris always knows the EXACT location of Carmen San Diego.

Helen Keller's favorite color is Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris was what Willis was talkin' about.

In a fight between Batman and Darth Vader, the winner would be Chuck Norris.

Not everyone that Chuck Norris is mad at gets killed. Some get away. They are called astronauts.

5.17.09 - OMG Harry Potter!!!

When I hear the Harry Potter Theme I think of Christmas. Also today I came across a poster for the 6th Harry Potter movie and got very, very excited. July 15th!

My tongue is burnt from a chai tea latte, but it was worth it.

I took a night class this semester. History of Immigration. Instead of a final exam we had a paper to write. She gave us over a month and a half to do the assignment. I threw it together in about 4 days, mostly the last 2. I got an A on the paper. This is not a reflection of my writing ability so much as the lameness of the class.

I'm starting to think about playlists for the road trip I intend to take this summer. What this really means is that I repeatedly listen to "Parachute" by Guster. The song reminds me of some vivid, good memories of L'abri, and makes me feel elated and nostalgic simultaneously. Thinking about L'abri extensively usually does that to me.

I've gotten an average of less than 5 hours of sleep every night for about a week now. The combination of working for Starbucks and dating a night owl will do that to you, I suppose.

I am very grateful to belong to the family I'm in. It is impossible for me to feel too terribly alienated, because I have four siblings that understand me pretty well. If I ever have kids I want to have a lot of them so they can experience that same camaraderie.

Guiltless Banana Split

One Skinny Cow Fudge Bar removed form its Popsicle stick

One banana

Sugar-free chocolate syrup

Sugar-free strawberry preserves (or fresh strawberries themselves)

Fat-free whipped cream

Voila! A banana split that is somewhere between 200-250 calories. I just enjoyed it thoroughly.

Oh yeah? Try these.

Try to guess the movie quotes without looking them up. If I tagged you I know for certain you've seen at least one, though probably more, of the movies in the list. Everett can't guess because he helped me make half of it.

1) Then what is it?
It's an evil fucking room. ~ 1408, Neil

2) Okay, lied about the "grande"... ~ What Women Want, Sarah W 

3) I mean, she's like your sister!
Thank you for adding new depth to my confusion. ~ Keeping The Faith, Cody

4) I'm talking about the gas chamber, and you haven't even asked me what this is about--You've got a big "Guilty" sign around your neck. ~ LA Confidential, Mom (Jan)

5) He doesn't have a passport.
For the last six months he's gone to Harvard and Berkeley. I'm betting he can get a passport. ~ Catch Me If You Can, Dave 

6) You, get up there and drive!
But I'm shot, Colonel!
Everybody's shot! We need the prisoners, let's go! ~ Black Hawk Down, Trevor

7) Yeah, Ma...I won't be home for supper. ~ The Departed, Neil 

8) You killed the only family I ever loved. Why?
Business. It's all it ever is, business. I was working for Fallon at the time. Your father was supposed to throw a fight. And your girl... was in the wrong family at the wrong time. ~ Daredevil, Cody

9) Joe, did you come all this way just to talk about the weather?
Hey, maybe I was in the neighborhood! Maybe I wanted some fresh air!

You work for the American Dream. You don't steal it.
Then this is even better. ~ A Simple Plan, Sarah W

13) If it bleeds, we can kill it. ~ Predator, Trevor

14) A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses."

15) Give us a drink. And give some to those Irish hoodlums down there.
There's only one Irishman in here.
On the house. Salut.
Top of the mornin'. ~ Goodfellas, Henry
