My Whole Week Has Been Full O' Suckitude

Like, seriously.

I had a dentist appointment at the Marquette Dental School and it sucked. The lady basically called me a big fat cow. :( I'm in the middle of writing a complaint letter. She didn't take me seriously at all and it was upsetting and demeaning. I didn't expect the red carpet to be rolled out, but at least some sort of respect.

I was supposed to go to the fair on Friday with Theron and his mama. Not only did we not go, but the water heater in his house sprung a leak and his mama is sick!

Oh, and then today was the Brewers block party. We got there at about 1030 and spent roughly two hours in Braun's line (no, we didn't try for anyone else's autograph) and didn't get to see him at all! We were only maybe 10 minutes away. If they'd just stayed an extra fifteen minutes, everything would've been fine. But no, not only did they not show up until 1130 (which I guess is normal), but they barely stayed long enough to get anything done.

Theron snuck around and got me some pictures while I was waiting in line. Enjoy.

An awesome picture of me and my sunglasses. Theron's hot torso is reflected.

Bernie Brewer and fans.

Weird News Of The Day

I'm a religious studies and history double major. I can understand how Islamic law dictates that a man may have more than one wife and up to four as long as he can treat them all fairly. I also know the history behind that reasoning and that the Qur'an later says it is impossible to treat more than one wife fairly. But having 86 wives?! That's a little extreme. Especially when you note that he reportedly has cured all the sick in his large family, with the exception of two of his children. His children, I might add, number somewhere in the 170s. Oh, and nobody works in that family either, so it's a mystery how they make money and survive.

And what does SpongeBob have to do with Gitmo? Well, a NY man is using him as a poster boy (sponge?) for water boarding. He's created a ride that shows people what water boarding is like - but don't worry, you won't get harmed in the ride. The victim isn't living, nor is it SpongeBob, but instead a robot. It is supposed to help us all learn about why human rights groups see this method of 'interrogation' as torture.

In other funky news, people who love Bollywood movies will be excited (maybe?) to know that Snoop Dogg is going to be in Akshay Kumar's latest film singing/rapping a mixture of Hindi, Punjabi, and English. Apparently Kumar approached Snoop. I guess the song has already been released and is topping the Indian charts. For the video, go here. The song is kinda catchy, even if it's a weird mix.

Oh, and for everyone that was worried that Morgan Freeman (who is doing well btw) was getting divorced because of the lady in the car accident with him, you can chill. He and his wife have been separated since December '07. And did anyone else know he used to be a mechanic in the Air Force?

How Unap-peeling

So I am majorly peeling now. It's pretty gross. At least I was able to stop my knees from peeling.

Morgan Freeman and his wife are getting a divorce. I wonder if that has anything to do with the mysterious lady passenger in the car accident from a few days ago...

You gotta love Oregon, even if you weren't raised there like I was. Where else can a man get pizza and KFC for a guilty plea in a murder case? It was a smart idea, though I'm not sure that the costs of feeding the man fast food for life with be less than it would've cost for a trial.

Archaeologists think they've found The Theater used by Shakespeare. It's a pretty neat story, but maybe it won't be to people not related to the Bard.

Oh... What am I forgetting today? Hmm...

Oh yeah, I guess this Brett Favre guy is gonna play for the Jets this upcoming season. Thank God, because I was really getting tired of the Santa Claus-ian coverage of Brett's every move. Of they're gonna cover him like that, I expect presents.

That's Hot

I was wondering when Paris Hilton would respond to McCain's celebrity ad. Her energy plan is actually not that bad.

Funnyordie is hilarious for one big reason - Will Ferrell. He has got to be my favorite actor, but when he teams up with John C. Reily, it's magical.

Researchers found around 125,000 Western lowland gorillas in the Congo region. I think that's just proof that nature can help protect and hide animals from hunting when there's not 8 million people trying to hunt them down. I wish that humans could stop interfering with nature so much.

The Brewers won last night by a huge margin. It was a nice game to watch, but the games where we get a huge lead early on always get a little boring to watch. Hopefully tonight will be a good win.

Tomorrow I have my first dentist appt in a million years. Yay for insurance!

The Dark Knight Revisited

So my parents and I went to see 'The Dark Knight' tonight. They hadn't been to a movie in years and all my raving somehow got to them when our schedules kinda matched for once.

I missed the dedication to Heath and Conway Wickliffe, but apparently it was on a little card, like that the Joker hands out. I'm still a little peeved, but oh well. If there was more of a dedication, Heath fans wouldn't be able to pay attention to the film... and Heath haters would be all fired up.

There was a posse of teens next to me talking until I shooshed them not even halfway into the movie. Five minutes before the end, one of them got on their cell phone. I swear to God, I payed $10 to see the movie again NOT to hear "Yeah, you can come pick us up now" and other such mumblings. The girls kept throwing each others' flip flops around too. Seriously, I can't imagine why kids act like that.

My burn is starting to bubble a little in the chest and my right knee. I got some Aloe Vera lotion AND spray though, so the peeling shouldn't be that bad in the end. My arms are amazingly tan now. :)

I Love The Whole World And All Its Craziness

I found this on YouTube, and if you love Dirty Jobs, you should go watch. :)

Brangelina had their adorable twins during the past week. They are so cute, but then again, they'd have to be right?

The Lohan family has some serious issues. Dina needs to go learn to parent from Britney's mom methinks. Ali apparently auditioned for a porn director? No word on when the 14 year old will be releasing her first film with him. Lindsay is all upset that the L.A. police chief said she was gay, but yet didn't attack any tabloids or magazines for their comments on her sexuality - in short, she wasn't trying to set the record straight until now.

Stephen Colbert is in trouble from the residents of Canton, Georgia, and Canton, Kansas. While he apologized to Georgia, he slammed Kansas. Apparently no one else in the nation got the memo that his show is almost pure comedy. The clip on CNN has a little girl saying she wants to kick Colbert in the (ass or balls? the mom covers her mouth before she can say it).

John McCain is driving me crazy. The ads slamming Obama are a little ridiculous. Obama never said he was the Messiah, and no one honestly thinks that he is, so really, that's just stupid. Sure, it might be clever marketing, but again, the same old crap from the Republican nominee. No one has attacked him on his age yet, so he better watch out. He may have 70+ years of life experience behind him, but how many years will he have in front of him? You can't live forever McCain.

Morgan Freeman was in a car accident last night! I hope that he's okay. They just said that he is in serious condition, which is not a happy thing. He is probably my all time favorite actor. Honestly, if he was really God, a la Bruce/Evan Almighty, I would believe. They had to use the jaws of life to get him and the female passenger out of the car late last night. I hope he is okay :(

Party time!

The Brewers finally got over their suck spell with the Cubs to win a game last night against the Braves. The Braves are much easier to beat I'm sure, but it also helped that the team got an early lead and was actually able to hold on to it. But that isn't why it's party time...

For those of you unfamiliar with the Brewers Block Party, they happen on three days every summer, with two locations in Milwaukee parks each time. The first 300 people get free sodas and hot dogs, so that's pretty cool. I have never been, but the final one of the summer is this Saturday, the 9th from 11-130pm. It makes me sad that I can't be at both parks at the same time, or at least around the same time, because - as any normal reader should know - I have a huge obsession with Ryan Braun. BUT, I also would love to meet C.C. and Prince, because I think they're both super awesome. Here are the locations and the players for this Saturday:

ELM GROVE (13600 Juneau Boulevard)
Seth McClung
Ray Durham
Jeff Suppan
Prince Fielder
Rickie Weeks
Mike Maddux
CC Sabathia

WHITEFISH BAY (Silver Spring Drive)
Craug Counsell
Ryan Braun
Corey Hart
Salomon Torres
David Riske
Ted Simmons
Eric Gagne

Obviously, I'll be going to Whitefish Bay. It'll be pretty neat to meet Hart and definitely Braun. But it won't be fun to be all sunburned and/or peeling when I meet him. I'm sure that won't win me a phone number. :)

I went to the Fox River Valley American Legion Baseball League Class A Tournament yesterday. The first game between Horicon and Bruce was pretty intense during the last little bit, but Horicon managed to pull off the win (5-3). I didn't get to finish watching the second game, but Viroqua beat Clintonville 6-4.

I managed to get sunburned even with sunscreen on. I will admit that I didn't spray my legs until they had started to burn and, for some strange reason, I didn't spray my chest at all. Really the only spots that hurt (without being hit or rubbed of course) are the tops of my feet (stupid flip flops), my knees (shorts didn't help), and my chest. I got this awesome Aloe Vera lotion though, so it should be a little better pretty soon.
