I mostly use twitter to follow all of the celebrities so I found this new blog quite amusing: Museum of Modern Celebrity Tweets
A new tweet from a celebrity is illustrated every Tuesday and it can be pretty funny!
Some of my favorite celebrity tweeters:
Tila Tequila – this girl is psycho but she had the most friends ever on MySpace for a reason. She is completely delusional and a total drama queen. Reading her twitter is better than any soap! But be prepared to be bombarded with tweets if you follow her….she twitters about EVERYTHING.
Paris Hilton – she seems so sweet and pretty much has the best life ever. all she does is watch movies, shop and party all day long
Rain Wilson – he is just as funny on twitter as he is on the office!
Spencer Pratt, Heidi, Lo (ok pretty much everyone from the hills) – I’m sorry…but i still watch this show and love (to hate) all the characters!
Rivers Cuomo – lead singer of weezer (my favorite band from hs). his tweets are always so random!
John Mayer – total douchebag but fun to read his tweets. too bad he stopped tweeting after those comments he made from that magazine interview!
Speaking of twitter, did you hear they are making a tv show based on the uber famous “**** my dad says” twitter? And guess who is playing the dad! William Shatner!

Mario’s closet:
One of the things I’ve wanted to do for awhile is to take a picture of myself every day. Since it’s a new year and my new laptop has a webcam I thought what better day to start doing this than today! I can’t wait to see how the progression of photos will look this time next year. :)
To accomplish this goal, I’ve started using a website called Daily Mugshot. They send you a reminder every day to take a picture of yourself and have a great program set up that makes taking pictures of yourself very easy!! I just set my account up and had it synced up to my webcam. They have “landmarks” that basically bookmark certain features of your face so when you take a picture each day it will be in the same position and will look more consistent. You can even make a flipbook of the images after! Anyways, try it out if you’re interested in doing something like this.
If you travel a lot, this website is a great tool to use!
The Bedbug Registry
Enter in your hotel address and it will spit back a bedbug report.

During this time of the year, there are a lot of fundraising drives as people try to share the holiday cheer with the less fortunate. I always try to stick to the more well-known charities since I’m always weary of how certain groups use the money donated to them. It’s unfortunate that we live in a society where we have to worry about that but whatever I can give, I would want to make sure it is being used correctly!
Anyways, I’ve found a great website called Charity Navigator. They rate charities on how efficiently they use their money and is a great resource to use to know your money really is going to a good cause. You can search by charity and see the rating from 1 to 4 stars. There are also other interesting lists like the list of 2009 CEO Compensation for large charities. I had no idea you could get paid 100K+ working for a charity!
They also have a great top 10 lists page including the Top 10 Charities with the Most 4-Star Ratings:
1 Carnegie Institution for Science
2 Cornell University
3 Harvard University
4 Christian Foundation for Children and Aging
5 University of Southern California
6 Breast Cancer Research Foundation
7 Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
8 YMCA of the Greater Houston Area
9 Goodwill Southern California
10 The Scripps Research Institute
I’m happy to see the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and Goodwill of Socal on there!
Anyways, I will be copying my wedding photographer’s idea (Caroline Tran) and will be donating $1 for every (non-spammy) comment I receive on this post from now until December 15th! When you leave a comment, if you’d like, tell me a charity you support and I will pick one charity to donate all of the money to. This will be a great way for me and other readers to learn about other great charities out there. :)
