1. I hatehatehate talking on the phone. Please don’t call me. (But feel free to text me!)
2. There are two things I’m obsessed with right now. Scrabble and blogging. At any given moment I’m probably doing one or the other. (Or like now, I’m doing both!). I love the scrabble app on facebook so if you want, add me! (hummus at ucla dot edu)
3. I can’t swallow pills for the life of me. I don’t know what I’m going to do when I’m old!
4. Today is the first time in my life I’m going to cook a turkey. If it’s good maybe I’ll post about it!
5. I don’t like to drink water. I’m probably constantly dehydrated and have even developed kidney stones. I’ve started drinking flavored sparkling water though so that’s good!
6. I’ve never broken a bone, had a cavity, or even gotten a traffic ticket in my life. Boy, I’m boring!
7. I have really weak arms. Don’t ask me to open a jar or to arm wrestle you, ok?

I just read about chessboxing. What is chessboxing you’re wondering? Well it’s exactly what it sounds like. A combination of chess (yes that game nerds play) and boxing (the one where people wear gloves and beat up each other). Here are a the rules of chessboxing:

A match between two opponents consists of up to eleven alternating rounds of boxing and chess sessions, starting with a four-minute chess round followed by two minutes of boxing and so on. Between rounds there is a 1 minute pause, during which competitors change their gear. The form of chess played is “speed chess” in which each competitor has a total of twelve minutes for the whole game. Competitors may win by knockout, checkmate, a judge’s decision or if their opponent’s twelve minutes of chess time elapses. If a contestant doesn’t make a move in the chessround, he will be issued a warning by the referee. At the second warning the contestant will be disqualified.

There is even an official world chess boxing organization!!

Here was the latest lightweight champion:

I’m so fascinated by this subject because it’s such a melding of two opposites. When I think of chess, I think of nerdy, scrawny boys not buff, fighting ones!! haha. hilarious!

I just read about this last week and the girl was found in 48 hours! Basically, the story is a guy saw a cute girl on the subway and decided to make a website (http://www.nygirlofmydreams.com) with a drawing to track her down:

Less than 48 hours later, he gets a message from a friend of the girl who recognizes her and gets her to send a pic and it’s a match! I love how on her facebook it says she loves “anything romantic”. This is a pretty cool story to share!

Also, read about this Halo 3 marriage proposal. hilarious!

I know I don’t usually post on the weekends but I was reading about this kiwi pomegranate salsa and I can’t decide if that looks good or….not so good. I like all three ingredients separately (love them actually) but together I can’t imagine what that would taste like. Thoughts?
