I’m not sure if this picture of Brandy from TMZ makes me laugh or shudder away in fear.

Definitely best celebrity picture of the week.

I’m sure you’ve all heard by now that Brandy was involved in a car crash that ended in a fatality of another driver. They haven’t really stated it in the press yet but allegedly she was drunk at the time. I wonder what celebrity strings she’ll be able to pull to get out of this one. It’s really sickening what famous people can get away with nowadays!

I finally did it!!!! I got an Ace on Big Brain Academy.

I’m an entrepreneur!!! Only a big dork like me would post this up but I am so happy I had to hahahh.

I just sent one to boyrobot. He loves these pretzels! It’s quick and easy. Send one to yourself too!

Free Pretzel

I’ll try and post more coupons and gift ideas for Vdays since it is getting close.

Personally, I am not a flower girl. I’d take a tech gadget over flowers any day. But I think every girl will say it’s nice to receive them every once in awhile.

*note to boyrobot: don’t get me flowers though!! :)

I apologize if I haven’t been updating as much or have not had interesting posts. I’ve become addicted to my DS Lite. Boyrobot has to repeatedly pull me away from that darn thing haha. I am currently obsessively playing 2 games.

1. Sims 2 - My current goal is to obtain 5 mechanical skills and to steal the blueprints from the penthouse. Anyone who has played this game knows how freaking hard it is to find these skill points!!! They randomly appear around the hotel for a period of 8 hours. Luckily I found a page online that tells me what time and where they are. I just have to wait now as they only appear one a day. grrrr!

2. Big Brain Academy - MUST. BEAT. ANDYS. SCORE. haha. I was just informed yesterday that my friend Andy got a score of 1965 (or something like that). My previous high score was only 1935. My competitive self says I can do better. My real goal is to get an ACE which is 2000+. I’m pretty sure I can do it. I can play each of the categories pretty much perfect but I have a hard time doing all 5 categories perfect IN A ROW. That game is really annoying now but I can’t stop playing it!

Other games I really like: Wario Ware, Bomberman, and Point Blank. The DS Lite is great!

Read about this interesting new social network from TechCrunch: SocialPicks

- tracks imaginary users’ portfolios and ranks them on how well their predictions pan out
- also tracks celebrity investors like warren buffet and jim cramer
- allows would-be financial advisors to “prove themselves”
- allows collaboration and knowledge sharing amongst other stock investors

They also have a contest starting on Feb 5th where the person with the highest SP Rank will win $1K. Read here for the rules.

One of the things I dread most about camping is not being able to shower every day. I’m used to washing my hair daily so when I don’t it gets super oily and flat on my head. It’s so annoying! Well I just discovered this “dry shampoo” that you can use when you don’t have time to shower or are going camping or whatevers. Here is the description:

This is an aerosal dry shampoo that does not need to be washed from the hair. It refreshes and revitalizes hair between shampoos.

- Leaves hair feeling clean, fragrant and full of body
- A great product for active people on the go
- Revitalizes greasy, dull and lifeless hair

I checked out the reviews and it seems to work very well. I can’t wait to try it out! It will make going camping much more comfortable for me. Now I just have to figure out what to do about the whole no toilet issue!

I read about this private/secret restaurant ages ago and I really want to go!!!

Totoraku on Yelp

I live right by this place. It’s a japanese restaurant rumored to have really awesome beef, which I love. The only problem is, the only way you can get in is if you “know someone”. They even keep the door locked to keep the public out! All of the reviews I’ve read have been excellent. Some of the reviews have said:

The first meat is tongue, followed by fillet mignon, inside rib eye, outside rib eye, short rib, and skirt steak. They are all tender and succulent. I’ve never tasted that kind of meat before. I love them all, especially the fillet and the short rib. The short rib just practically melted in your mouth. The fillet is very succulent and rich in beef flavor.

I was in heaven after each bite, I think I even shed a tear.

best beef in LA

Also, their home made blueberry ice cream is the best ice cream I have ever had.

My mouth waters just reading the reviews. The chef supposedly considers cooking an art form and refuses to expand.

So if anybody here has the hookup to this restaurant…pass it along!!

This 24 link is awesome.

24 Character Countdown

His character analysis is spot on! Here are some good ones (only funny if you’ve been keeping up with the show):

President Wayne Palmer (24)
-Every line of dialogue consists of almost all whispers (-10)
-Seemed like a boy amongst men in the Joint Chiefs meeting (-5)
-Chose not to preemptively go to war (+15)
-Wanting to calm the American people with his message instead of incite their fears (+10)
-Probably ended up calming the American people too much (put them to sleep) with his ever-whispering voice (-11)

Nadia Yassir (127)
-Seemingly just wanders around CTU doing the occasional thing when it requires her to speak Arabic (+1)
-Is still too cute to take off the Countdown list (+8)

In the elevator this morning I happened upon the same man I saw the previous morning.

me: you again!
man: same time huh? the difference is i am going to work and you are going to school
(i look really young for my age)
me: nope, i’m going to work too!
man: well the difference is, i don’t want to go to work but you do
(he must think i’m young and not jaded yet)
me: ha ha, nope, i don’t want to go to work either!

the funniest poster ever hangs in my manager’s office: a picture of a baby with the words “22630 days til retirement”

hehe, ok. i don’t dread work that much!
