limited batch? come on!!

so i discovered a most heavenly ice cream flavor. ben & jerry (makers of my beloved chunky monkey) have a new flavor called dublin mudslide. and it has limited batch written all over it. mean hippies, ben and jerry, that's what y'all are. get me hooked and then "limited batch" it.

randy jackson is a fraud

we're pretty far along in AI tonight, and i have nothing to write about except the fact that randy jackson is a fraud. every time he says something is "pitchy", it's not, and every time it's pitchy, he misses it. i think he just says it when he thinks he's supposed to. oh, and simon cowell is so sexy.

01 camile - didn't see it
02 jon peter - good, and the personality was back.
03 latoya - had a few off-key notes, but still good.
04 amy - she's picking up speed. she was really good.
05 john stevens - out of key a lot tonight. too bad, he could have owned "my girl".
06 jennifer - she was great. i love her attitude.
07 jasmine - far better than last week.
08 diana - great as always. she really knows how to work a crowd.
09 fantasia - awesome. this girl has everything. i love her. VOTE FOR HER.
10 george - great great great love him love him. best tonight. VOTE FOR GEORGE!!!!!

i want a top 3 of fantasia, george and latoya or diana. i have spoken. hear me and obey.

because i feel like saying it

there are some things i want to get off my chest (like my shirt). why? do i need a reason? i didn't think so. :) if anyone has a problem with my candor, i suggest you close your eyes or hit Alt+F4. i will warn you: this is not for children.

1. last night, i slept neckid. because it really feels great to be neckid under a ceiling fan. i think i'll sleep neckid again tonight. and you know what? i like sleeping neckid.

2. i like living alone. because i can walk around neckid whenever i feel like it. as long as the blinds are closed, no one complains; of course, i'm thinking there wouldn't be a slew of complaints if the blinds were open. ;)

3. i also like living alone because just now when i belched quite loudly, i didn't have to apologize to NO ONE. the kitties don't really care. and if they do, what are they gonna do about it? they know who feeds them.

ok, i never talk politics...

...mainly because there are many others out there who can say anything that i have to say more efficiently, succinctly and completely (not to mention funny-ly) than i can.

that said, john kerry scares the living daylights out of me. while reading harvey at bad money's article on socialism, i linked to kerry's website and read highlights of his proposed national service plan, and all i can say is VOTE FOR BUSH.

read the plan; it's entertaining as well as scary and enlightening (like a good horror flick, only if kerry is elected, we won't be able to run screaming from the theater. we'll be trapped in a dirty auditorium w/ sticky floors and no stadium seating for 4 or more years). and read harvey's socialism piece, it's good.

Isaiah 12

And in that day you will say:
"O LORD, I will praise You;
Though You were angry with me,
Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me.
Behold, God is my salvation,
I will trust and not be afraid;
"For YAH, the LORD, is my strength and song;
He also has become my salvation.'"
Therefore with joy you will draw water
From the wells of salvation.
And in that day you will say:
"Praise the LORD, call upon His name;
Declare His deeds among the peoples,
Make mention that His name is exalted.
Sing to the LORD,
For He has done excellent things;
This is known in all the earth.
Cry out and shout, O inhabitant of Zion,
For great is the Holy One of Israel in your midst! "

who's in a movie together???

spidade told me that a new movie started this weekend that has both heath ledger AND the most beautiful elf-turned-pirate in the whole world????

that warrants a thankful for of the day. oh yes it does.

never been kissed

JOSIE: sorry i'm late.
MRS. KNOTTS: yeah, well, i'm sorry i forgot to take my hot flash medication today!

today

today is another one of God's playing-with-the-numbers days! which means numbers fun for sarahk! and yes, i freely admit my geekness.

the date: 03-27-2004. and here we go...

3*9=27-(2+0+0+4) = 21; 2+1 = 3, and we're back where we started.
or

3+2+7 = 12*(2+0+0+4) = 72, the reverse of 27. 72/3 = 24, which is 27-03!!!!!!!!
or

0+3 = 3; 2+7 = 9; 2+0+0+4 = 6; rearrange, and the date has 3, 6, and 9!!
or

2004/3 = 668; 6*6*8 = 288; 2*8*8 = 128; 1*2*8 = 16; 668+288+128+16 = 1100; 1100-27 = 1073. 10-7=3!!!!!!!!!

ok, my brain is tired now (don't make fun -- i have a migraine). there are so many more combos, but i'm worn out. maybe more later, maybe not. feel free to add your own in the comments; and if you find errors, please correct me in a kind, gentle fashion. and send me ice cream (chocolate almond or chunky monkey).

wish i could say this is outrageous

but it's not. eek. my beloved goalie, marty turco, was suspended for 4 games by the league for wednesday night's high-sticking of the crude's ryan smyth. yeah, he kinda deserves it.

oh well. tsk, tsk, marty. you've got a little bit of crazy eddie in you, and that ain't bad in itself. we'll see you back for the last game of the season and all of the stanley cup playoffs.

go stars.

great casting

many kudos and thanks to the casting director and all others responsible for pulling together the fabulous ensemble cast of the lord of the rings trilogy.

and a very special thanks for orlando bloom as the most beautiful elf of all time, and for viggo mortensen's aragorn -- viggo should always have a beard and long hair.

and did i say thanks for casting orlando bloom as the greatest action hero of all time (i stole that from a friend, but i totally agree w/ his assessment)?

oh, and for casting orlando bloom as the elfboy (drool), i thank the powers that be'd.

and i'm really happy about the elf casting of the trilogy. thank you.

hmm. anyone care to guess what i'm watching?
