Poor Ashlee Simpson
Man, if you haven't checked ou Ashlee's website recently, it's being BOMBARDED with nasty comments. I feel so bad for her! Cept I think she could be handling things a little better (like finding more legitimate excuses). And it's too bad she did the hoedown jiggy after being left dumb-struck on stage. It just reinforces the fact that all us Texans are cowboys. Here's a link to the infamous lip-syncing scandel*.
Gotta go--it's time to feed the chickens and milk my cows.
*"scandal" as corrected by Mr. OCD

And the political thumb to you too!
Hi everyone. It's been a while, no? Well, allow me to get on my soapbox.
Visitors.
My parents and my sister came to visit last week. It was great to have them here. The first evening, my parents demanded a Chinese restaurant. Tally-ho! I took them to A&J's. They like. Since A&J's is right next to a chinese market, we stop by for some goods before we leave..................for the big Korean supermarket (Super H) next to my house........after which we ate some of the stuff we bought. Oh my gosh, DO NOT go to Super H on a Saturday night--mad house! My mom was in heaven right when she walked in--we barely got past the automatic sliding doors when she shouted in glee, "Oh my gosh, cases of Korean asian pears--look how big and cheap they are!!!" I think I saw my dad skip to the guavas. I knew their trip had been ruined from the start--DC was going to have to compete with Super H.
Debates.
I'm a fan of the thumb thing--I think Kerry and Edwards uses it the most. Started by Clinton, maybe? Nod if you know what I mean. Does it have a name? I'm going to call it the "political thumb" and start using it when i talk to people. Oh! Imagine if the political thumb caught on...what if people started giving the POLITICAL THUMB rather than the PEACE sign?!
I Know Hate's a Strong Word.
But i HATE the DMV. Gimme the political thumb if you agree. I've only been here a little over 3 months and i've been to the DMV five times--and i'm not done yet! If you think you've had a positive experience at the DMV, then you're WRONG. There are no such things. Ahhrhhehhg blaaahehehbleeeeh....
Crosswords.
I ALMOST finished Monday's crossword. So close! My coworker helped me finish it off--missed one. Only used dictionary.com like once* to check spelling. Not bad, huh? (:
Another Field Trip.
This time we went to the Washington Navy Yard. It's like a community within a community. I saw two museums and even got to eat at McDonald's. Woohoo, i love working at Lockheed. I have a mini-album of camera phone pics from the trip below.
Who IS this "Julia" and "Mark" that I speak of? Pic of my roomie and her honeybuns:
Break out your tissues, it's time to take a look at some pics from the past:
*or twice, or three times haha...

From Crosswords to Comics
You know what my ultimate dream is? It's to finish one of the daily crossword puzzles without the aid of internet. I'll be happy if I get through Monday's puzzle. But I'm not here to talk about puzzles.
When I go through the comics (after slaughtering the crossword puzzle), I first stop by my favorites. Garfield? No. FoxTrot? No. Calvin and Hobbes? No. Try JUDGE PARKER. It's so gripping--GRIPPING, I say! The action, adventure, and romance that go on in those THREE frames leave me speechless. Utterly SPEECHLESS. Never read Judge Parker? Here's something to whet your appetite:
Now tell me that doesn't move you to the point of tears. WHOPPP!
Weird thing. I've seen more PESH (my senior high) people since I've moved here than I have in the past 4 years. Plano! Plano! ... East! East!
If you haven't heard already (and shame on you if you haven't), Conan will be replacing Leno in 2005. Now, this makes me a little sad b/c I know his matterial's going to be changing. He can't waste time pulling a lever to show "Walker Texas Ranger" clips (and who doesn't love Walker?). I also want to add that I'm in the running to replace Max Weinberg as drummer and sidekick.
My parents and Kimmy are coming to visit tomorrow!!!! Wooooohoooooooooo (:
WHOPPP!
