And my life is further enriched by E! True Hollywood Story...

In 2001, Snoop Doggy Dogg announced that he was getting into women's underwear - in a manner of speaking.

The rapper had apparently agreed to license his image to a new line of women's underwear designed by New York fashion designer Ivy Supersonic. The items would feature an image of Snoop on the crotch - and would be called "Snoop on the Poop."

 

In other news-- I made two Bs in my two classes this summer.  Well last week I ran into one of my professors at the WCOB block party and he congratulated me on my A in his class... I informed him that I got a B... He told me he must have made a mistake and to come by and he would change it.  Yesterday, I went by his office and he said he'd submit the paperwork to change it.  Yah 3.5 for the summer!

Random Entertainment Trivia of the Day:

According to crew members on the set of The Score (2001), Marlon Brando would not perform unless Frank Oz directed him in the voice of Miss Piggy.

I am offering a small reward for the best "Miss Piggy Voice".  All are encouraged to enter the contest.    ...mostly I just want to hear my friends and family talk in a Miss Piggy Voice.  I can think of few things more entertaining.

I didn't have to work last night for once-- so I spent the evening at the fair. Spent a ridiculous amount of money riding the tilt-a-whirl and getting some lemonade.  We walked through and saw the animals though--

I'm trying to get to SA for next weekend.  I'll find out today if I get to go!

today could be my last 'first day of school'!

Monday August 22, 2005

I should not be allowed to shop for school supplies without supervision.

I've been working like a crazy person, but it's all paying off. Class starts tomorrow and I can afford to not have to work constantly during school. 

I've had a really good couple of weeks.

I am lovin the new job.  All of you Fayetteville-folk should come say hi and ask for me.  Andrew and John came to see me, Kelly and JD, it was nice to have friendly faces come in like they used to at Cool Water.  Things are going well and so far so good.  Monday night I had this table from hell that kept ordering the few things we were out of at the bar-- I kept thinking what a long night it was going to be with these people... turns out, they were from South Dakota-- we were buddies after that.

Devon, Andrew and I went to see the March of the Penguins yesterday.  It was amazing.  Penguins are the funniest looking animals ever! And the movie was really good.

I got 2 Bs in my classes this summer, though they were ridiculously close to As and it's really wierd to care about school again-- and the fact that I could have had As. But I guess, at this point, being done is the goal. 

No school this week. :) My classes start again Tuesday. 

My dad called, mom is in Kuwait, where it is 145 degrees outside. Keep her in your thoughts. Check up on the Martins at http://areyouamartin.com .

Have you seen these "Millennium Baby" license plate frames? When I first saw them, I thought, "Isn't that neat. That person had a baby born on the first day of the millennium. Good for them." But now I see them everywhere! Could all of these babies possibly have been born on the first day of the millennium.  It's not as cool to realize that every freakin' baby born in the whole freakin' year got one of those things.  Or maybe they give them to every baby from now on. Any baby born since the year 2000 gets a license plate.  Is this cheapening it for the Jan 1, 2000 babies? I'd be pissed.

My mom called tonight to tell me she doesn't know when she'll be able to call again.  She's leaving in the next few days to go to Kuwait for a year.  People like her, and my brother and my dad are in the military so people like me don't have to be.  And I'll start wearing my two-timezone watch again tomorrow.

Young Tod: Copper, you're my best friend.
Young Copper: And you're mine too, Tod.
Young Tod: And we'll always be friends forever. Won't we?
Young Copper: Yeah, forever.
