Ha ha! I like how they put in two dudes in my "look alike" spread. I don't think I look like them, but we do have excellent taste in glasses. I should probably try this some other time with my contacts in and see what I get.

This is probably the best thing I've seen in a long time:

This really made my Monday and it's only 8:45.

I'm not one to get excited about celebrity fashion lines, but this caught my attention:

Sheryl Crow plans eco-chic clothing line

I think it is interesting that she's named the line "Bootheel Trading Co." We are both from that area and honestly, I couldn't get outta there fast enough. I don't know if I could wear that logo on my butt. That being said, I am interested in the "eco" part and also that the jeans will be manufactured by Western Glove Works. WGW also make Silver jeans which I LOVE. I think everyone has a brand of jeans that just works for them, and mine is Silver.

It will be interesting what the price point will be whenever the line comes out.

Indiana Jones and the "Spielburg needs to stop making moves"

Found this abridged script that someone put together for Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.

Spoiler alert, but it's damn funny.

My favorite (slightly non-spoiler) lines are:

HARRISON teaches his film class entitled “How To Ruin Millions Of Childhoods In 2 Hours” when he is interrupted by the DEAN, JIM BROADBENT.

and this one:

HARRISON FORD

What are we doing in the Amazon?

KAREN ALLEN

Cate wants to return the Crystal MacGuffin to the ancient City of Gold.

HARRISON FORD

City of Gold? Isn’t that what Nicolas Cage was looking for in National Treasure 2? Are we seriously getting the plot for our shitty sequel to Indiana Jones by ripping off the plot of a shitty sequel to a shitty knock-off of Indiana Jones? I feel like that should unravel the space-time continuum or something.


Buahahaha! Seriously, that movie sucked the life outta me. I'll just pretend it never happened just like Star Wars Episodes I-III.

I thought this was an interesting article:

Why Women Quit Technology Careers

I work in a technology field that is male dominated and I feel very lucky where I am. Everything in that article was my biggest fear when I was job hunting. I really didn't want to get stuck working with an old cranky engineer that thought women should be barefoot and pregnant (I've heard some horror stories). I've only been in this field for two and a half years now and I've never felt like I was inferior because I wasn't toting a sausage and peas.

The Steve (TS) and I were working out tonight and we were both on the ellipticals with the individual T.V.'s. Being the dorks that we are, we were both watching a History Channel show about magnets. On the show, they explained how they make magnets out of plastic and how different colored light beams can either raise or lower the magnetism. A blue light increased the capacity by 150% while green light decreased it by that much.

At a commercial break, I tapped TS on the shoulder and proceeded to tell him a theory that had popped up in my head:

Me: Hey, did you see what that green light did to the magnet?
TS: Yeah, why?
Me: Well, Kryptonite is green right? And it glows right?
TS: Yeah....
Me: So that's how it affected Superman!
TS: You're saying Superman is a magnet?
Me: YES!
TS: *Shakes head*

It makes sense though doesn't it? I mean, Superman wasn't human. If he had some sort of magnetic properties then that could explain how he is able to fly. Ha ha. I'm such a nerd, I love it. Ok, I'll get off my nerd soapbox now.

Anyway, I hope everyone of the Orthodox persuasion had a happy Easter (two weekends ago, I know, but better late than never). Christos Anesti! I drug TS to a Greek Orthodox midnight service this year so I could have him experience it just once, since I never go anymore. I managed to not catch my hair on fire*, so over all it was a good time. Here we are before we left:

*you have to hold a lit candle during the ceremony, and by 1:30 am I started falling asleep, but then would wake up realizing I had fire mere inches from some old lady's hair spray laden updo.
