2 of my favorite peoples' tweets that happened to come up back to back:

jrtrussell:

"Jerry Jones, I love the Cowboys and hate you. Don't give me more fuel by having George W in your luxury booth."

bdh716:

"My man George W. Bush is loving this game. How bout them Cowboys?!?!"

the juxtaposition made me LOL :).

Merry Christmas!!

Collin Wilcox Paxton

2009-10-22T06:06:00.002-04:00

Collin Wilcox Paxton, best known for her role as Mayella Ewell in "To Kill a Mockingbird" passed away yesterday. Normally this type of thing wouldn't make the Pop Cultured headlines, but Collin Wilcox Paxton grew up with my Dad and his siblings in Highlands, NC and was a close friend of my Aunt, who still lives in Highlands. Below is the "To Kill a Mockingbird" trailer, complete with part of Collin's most famous scene.

I heart a League of Their Own, and I can understand why the little unicorn dog with cowboy boots might be tempted to draw a knife after such an argument. See more of these charming illustrations, and many Tegan and Sara, or is it (Sara and Tegan?) videos on her blog.

Don't Go Back to Rockville

2009-09-22T20:31:00.003-04:00

So, as many of you know, I recently made the move to the greater DC area, more specifically Rockville, MD. I won't have cable or internet until this weekend, and I'm rarely able to get on the computer during work, which is why my blog presence has been non existent for the last few weeks. Anyway, in honor of my move, here's a nice song about my new town...

I'd say about 50% of my friends started singing this, or texted these lyrics to me when they found out where I was moving. Kudos 90's college radio nerds.

Fruity Marshmallow Krispies

2009-09-10T18:49:00.003-04:00

This evening I was doing a little random link hopping on YouTube and ended up at my favorite childhood cereal commercial... Fruity Marshmallow Krispies. My love for the Krispies jingle is two-fold: 1) It's catchy as hell. In fact I'm singing it in my head as I type this. 2) It totally sounds like the announcer sings "lots of fruity marshmallow shit" about 6 seconds in and you really can't imagine how much I enjoyed that when I was seven.

This makes me happy:

Survivor - Hugest Penises on Reality TV

2009-09-03T15:56:00.005-04:00

I get that after 19 seasons, it's tough to come up with new ways to promote a series but really CBS? Is this the best you can do? There have already been four seasons with a cast of 20 survivors (don't judge me for knowing that) so that can't be used as justification for this campaign.

Based on this ad I can only assume that this season's twist is that all the guys are really hung. Come to think of it that might not be the worst idea for a season of Survivor.

GAME DAY.

Favorite Movie Moments: Sabrina

2009-08-22T23:03:00.004-04:00

Sabrina is one of my all time favorite films. When I was little my mom rented it for us because she thought we would like the scene where Sabrina learns to crack an egg. We did enjoy that scene, as well as the rest of the film and to this day it's a movie that my entire family will watch together (awwww).

This is actually my mom's favorite scene, and mine too. Dancing on the indoor tennis court in formal wear with Bogey to "Isn't it Romantic" most definitely is romantic-- that Audrey Hepburn is one lucky gal.
