So NBC is LAME and pulled all the SNL footage from youtube, so i cant post the comic gold that was Tina Fey imitating Sarah Palin. But i did find a transcript, part of which i will display below. Enjoy:
“PALIN”: “You know, Hillary and I don’t agree on everything …”
“CLINTON” (OVERLAPPING): “Anything. I believe that diplomacy should be the cornerstone of any foreign policy.”
“PALIN”: “And I can see Russia from my house.”
“CLINTON”: “I believe global warming is caused by man.”
“PALIN”: “And I believe it’s just God hugging us closer.”
“CLINTON”: “I don’t agree with the Bush Doctrine.”
I’m not a movie watcher. I don’t understand how people can buy dvds like music, sometimes buying movies before they’ve seen them, and how people can have stacks and stacks of dvds. I just don’t think i’ve got the attention span. The select movies i do own have earned their right to sit on my shelf, as they are the only movies i can watch again and again and still be entertained. Among the shortlist are High Fidelity, Mean Girls, Emperor’s New Groove and Best in Show. I’d like to add All The President’s Men, and Knocked Up. I have to say that the latter has made me crack up more times than any other movie in recent memory.
People are shocked and sometimes offended when i say that i have not yet seen the most classic of all classics: Goonies, Back to the Future, Star Wars. And in response, i simply say, “I played outside.”
I was at a birthday barbeque this past weekend and holy crap if i got what was coming to me. My left leg is covered in mosquito bites. I’ve got random spots on my right leg, a few on my arms, one on my shoulder, and a one on my left ring finger knuckle. And why is it that nothing makes me feel more whitetrash than seeing my white-ass legs covered in bright red dots?
And another thing: Why, CNN.com, do i want to read about how a girl was forced to walk on her hands for 3 minutes?
so i believe one of my recent posts detailed my news of joining a gym. And i signed up for a few training sessions just to learn how to work out correctly and not wake up someday in the near future howling in pain because i wasnt aware that you couldnt run on a treadmill at full speed backwards, or say, for instance, on my hands and knees. That’s merely a hypothetical situation, but m’just sayin’. you never know.
Last night i went to the gym for the first time completely by myself and without a training session to entice me. And it was kinda fun. I ran and ran and ran, and walked, and ran again, and walked. And i cant describe to you the feeling of getting off the treadmill and still feeling like i was on the treadmill. it was bizarre.
In other news, my mom’s birthday is Saturday. She’s 75 and still kickin! Kidding. She’s probably younger than that.
I have not one thing to do today and it feels awesome. i dont even really care about fireworks. i just care about catching up on Lost, crying over the money im sacrificing to join 24-hour fitness, and eating things with bbq sauce on them.
I am excited about joining the gym. During my tour of the location i’ll mainly use, i saw the basketball courts. A pick-up game was in progress and though it was mostly dudes, a few girls were playing as well. yay! I’ll be so excited if i can play in some games a few times a week.
Because I feel too lazy to write actual sentences (except this one), I will hereby present to you lists of recent things i have purchased or seen that i have either a) liked or b) disliked:
So, i got back late late late Monday night after all my flights were canceled Sunday because Chicago weatherpersons forcasted a cloud or something and thus decided to make everyone’s lives miserable – ie, MINE. Don’t get me wrong – i really do appreciate the airlines wanting to not fly in bad weather, but to have to eat the cost of another night’s hotel room, food, and booze, well – it just wasnt in my planned budget. But im okay.
I still havent quite recovered from the trip as i am quite exhausted – so exhausted that im quite sure it would be illegal for me to drive. Or talk. Or work. But hey, you only live once, am i right?!
And now, a one-word synopsis of the Twin Trip 2008:
Burlington: calm
Montreal: drunk
On a separate note, i have been officially sucked into the NBA finals. I havent watched the NBA in literally years, but while i was stuck in Burlington for that extra night, i watched game 2, and last night i watched game 3. Tomorrow is – you guessed it – game 4, and i still cant decide who im rooting for. A typical Kansas fan would want Paul Pierce’s Celtics to get the title. While a old school Phil Jackson fan would want to see him get his 10th title ring and become the winningest coach in NBA history.
