"You're so beautiful, you could be a part-time model... but you'd probably still have to keep your normal job"

If you have not yet witnessed the genuis that is "Flight of the Conchords", I have to say... what the hell is wrong with you!? Honestly, one of the greatest new shows (not to mention, greatest shows period) out there! In honor of FOTC, I have gathered up some of my all time favorite quotes for your reading pleasure. Until I regain the unique brilliance that was my writings of the past (oh, come on...) I am using cheap, recycled material!!

  • "You don't call retarded people retards. It's bad taste. You call your friends retards when they are acting retarded" -- Michael Scott, "The Office"
  • "A eugoogalizor, one who speaks at funerals. Or did you think I'd be too stupid to know what a eugoogoly was?" --Derek Zoolander, "Zoolander"
  • "You look like a cholo dressed up for Easter." --Pete, "Knocked Up"
  • "Oh great, an abandoned psychiatric hospital! Now I can get Hepatitis!" -- Shrader, "Accepted"
  • (One of my favorite exchanges) Lloyd: What are the chances of a guy like you and a girl like me... ending up together? Mary: Well, that's pretty difficult to say. Lloyd: Hit me with it! I've come a long way to see you, Mary. The least you can do is level with me. What are my chances? Mary: Not good. Lloyd: You mean, not good like one out of a hundred? Mary: I'd say more like one out of a million. [pause] Lloyd: So you're telling me there's a chance. -- "Dumb and Dumber"
  • "So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life. "-- Peter Gibbons, "Office Space"

Those are just a few... there are way too many other good quotes out there and I just don't have the time (since it's almost time to get the funk outta Dodge) to think of them all. Don't worry, one of these days, when I have nothing interesting to say... I'll put some more on here. So, then... tomorrow it is!

What's your 20?

I have been on hiatus... and no guarantee that I'm back for good, but it was funny going back and reading my blog after all these years. The boredom set in so I decided I'd recall fond memories of the blogging community. I did notice that much of my posts began with "I went to this party last night..." or "I went out drinking..." Ahhh... to be young again;)

It's weird to be writing on here again. I feel like the cleverness I used to possess and was so inspired by my fellow bloggers is no longer present! And now, I shall give a short life update.

What I'm doing:
  • Still working at the same place... it's going well and taking me to Ft. Lauderdale next week!
  • Currently in the process of watching 6 Feet Under, as I never watched it during it's run.
  • Just started dating a good prospect... that's all I'll say
  • Still seeing as many movies as possible
  • Reading lots o' books
  • Lots of other stuff that's cool and impressive;)

What I'm wearing:

  • Currently, I'm wearing about 2 sizes smaller than I was 6 months ago!
  • My hair is super dark and I'm wearing it mid-length with an undercut
  • Braces... STILL... and now I get to look even more like a 14 year old girl because I have rubber bands!

What I'm saying:

  • Apparently, I like to say "apparently" alot
  • I cannot stop saying "no worries"... what am I, Australian?
  • Holla! I know... just shoot me now!
  • (This may not count, because I only said it once) Boo ya. Yes. I said that.

Where I'm living:

  • Still in good 'ol El Paso... hoping that changes sometime in the near future.
  • Living in some swanky digs (i.e. some new apartments that are way to expensive for this city) with my longtime best friend
  • Planet Earth

What else is happening:

  • All of my friends are off in other cities and I'm left here solo to dwell on life's little shit bombs
  • I've started writing a book and have some fantastic ideas that are flowing like red, hot, molten lava
  • I'm starting to freelance writing and graphic design
  • I've become a "Competent Communicator"... nuff said
  • I have finally become a woman (made you reread that, didn't I?)

And that, my friends, is all she wrote. Boo ya.
