Won't You Wear A Sweater Day?

/sniffle... This kind of makes me sad. I loved Mr. Rogers. Won't you be my neighbor?

Simple and Sweet

Boots With Da Furr

This morning I was stopped at a red light and I looked in my rear view mirror. The guy behind me was going to town on his nose. He was probably around 40 or so... it was so gross. And I was thinking... what do I do in my car when I think people aren't looking? Well for one... I get down to the song below... THAT'S RIGHT... I'M EMBRACING THE CRAPPYNESS!!!

Anyway, Vista sucks. It crashed, blocked programs that I needed to run and thought it was "helping" me by running unnecessary tools. It made me almost regret buying a new computer. But then again... I knew that would happen.

Officially Dead Of Cuteness

Owie

I'm sore. I just got back from the gym and I'm just a tad sore. But it was so awesome... a group of 4 year olds walked through from Camp Amgen. I almost died of cuteness on the treadmill. Anyway, IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!! Oh, and I get to finally put together my new computer. My non-USB 2.0 port slowed down the process quite a bit. But I got everything transferred to the external and I should be on my way tonight. WOO HOO.

I really didn't want to know about a stinky Japanese Astronaut with free floating balls in space. But hey... I was the one who clicked on it. ><

I want to use my factory...!

I <3 xkcd

Because sometimes... people just need to be told they are wrong.

My Hair Is Frizzy

*pout face* I don't know why but I have my hair down today and it just went frizzy!

Here... enjoy this baby on a kitteh.

Vista... Ugh...

Today I pick up my new computer... and... well... I'm switching to Vista because that's what all the cool kids do. *cries myself to sleep at night*

Back In The States

/sigh... Most unfortunately I am back in the states... Canada was woooooooonderful. I was definitely a Britt-sicle but the hot tub made that better! I bought a very nice piece of art from a place in the mall we visited. Can't wait to get it shipped here (thank you Ian...)! If I get a chance, I will definitely post a picture of it because it really is that awesome. I am tired from getting in so late and work is giving me a headache. But all in all... my trip was great. I'm looking forward to the March trip and beyond.

Randy Pausch posted an update on his website...

And this is my face when I am laying in Ian's bed...

LOL... Conan Is Awesome

I like Matt Lauer too... It's like an episode of an old game show... that was about charades... or something... I forget the name... Anyway, I am busy working and then later packing.

Bumping Booties

Well, the site is coming along... I have decided to manually port the old site to this one. Needless to say it takes awhile and I won't be done any time soon. Of course, none of the code transfers nicely so I have to go through and format each entry.. Boo~

I just had my performance review... It was really good and I should be compensated accordingly.. YAY! Anyway, I feel like dancing...

Creepy But I'm Giggling

Dramatic Lemur

Uhm... Britt-sicle Anyone?

I'm Leaving On A Jet Plane...

...in 3 days of course. So I'm crazy and I bought a bathing suit in the middle winter. BLAME IAN. He coerced me into it. That's right... I said coerced. (I always wanted to use that word...) Anyway, it's another beautiful sunny day in California - bleh! I have a lot of work to do and little time to do it.

Oh, and an update on the whole... comfortable in my skin thing... I'm doing good... surprisingly good for the little things that have changed.

New Pet To Farm!

I'm sorry... but... I have an addiction.

4 Days...

There are 4 days left until I am "shipping" myself off to Canada. Ian is wrong... I am honestly not that nervous. Either his parents are going to like me or not. But most likely they will. I don't usually come across parents that don't like me... I don't think Cory's mom liked me... but she only wanted the best for her sweet little snookums. /vomit

I went dark brown with my hair. Crazy, I know. Everyone hates it except Ian and I... he is the only one I want to impress. Uh oh, should I re-paint my bobblehead???

Holmgren Successor Named

Jim Mora, former head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, will replace Mike Holmgren in 2009. I'm not sure how I feel about this...

Whhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyy...???

Well... because I honestly can't stand another minute on blog.com... Their post functions barely worked. If I wanted to center a video, I had to do it manually by editing the html every single time. This was just one of the many issues I had. Tech support? Non-existent. Freezing? Yup. Photo errors? You betcha. So, I'm done. I have officially divorced blog.com and have set up shop here. Unfortunately, I can't port the site over... so I will leave http://brittanyruth.blog.com/ up for archival purposes. I'll be starting fresh... turning a new page... throwing out the rule book... turning over the stone... starting from scratch... fresh as a daisy... and yup... I'll be a happy camper.

I'm drowning in work... and my trip to Canada is coming up quickly. So, I better run.

Testing

Site may be up soon...

One Last Funny Thingy...

Fiddy, best known for being a rapper with 37 bathrooms kicks Hilton, best known for being an all around useless waste of human life... (wait... I don't think "human" is the right term there... well, feel free to fill it in on your own) off of his stage at a Superbowl Party. While the actual words may be different (what he said is actually true)... the jist is still the same. Hilarity ensues. Enjoy. Have a good weekend. All that jazz.

SUPER BOWL WEEKEND!!

MSNBC Contributor Michael Ventre put out a list of things to expect during this weekend's game. I have included my favorites... it's a lot.. but it's SOOOOO funny. Oh and my favorite past commercial is at the end.. for obvious reasons.

• At halftime, security will be given instructions to keep Justin Timberlake away from Tom Petty's nipples.
• The Mannings — Archie, Peyton and Eli — will be presented with a special award commemorating the fact that they have now endorsed every product ever produced since time began.
• During the postgame celebration, Randy Moss will be told he can have his extension. He will then ask, “Contract or restraining order?” *I love his accent...*
• Bill Belichick will refuse to disclose whether he will use a Canon or Nikon spy camera during the game.
• The 1972 Miami Dolphins will be unhappy after the Patriots go undefeated, but they’ll pop champagne anyway because they have nothing else to do these days except drink. *I hate the 72' Dolphins*
• Michael Strahan will have no impact on the game whatsoever, but he’ll make it sound later as if he should have been named MVP.
• Tiki Barber will try to use the fact that Eli Manning wasn’t able to lead the underdog Giants to a history-making upset of the unbeaten Pats as evidence that he was right about Eli all along. *Eli's a mouth breather*
• Wes Welker will catch everything that is thrown to him, but will be denied access to the Patriots’ postgame lockerroom because security guards will refuse to believe he’s with the team.
• Brett Favre will be interviewed during the game and announce that he isn’t ready to make an announcement.
• At one point early on, the officials will stop the game and huddle to discuss the issue, “What the heck kind of a name is Plaxico?”
• Junior Seau will admit to his teammates during a pregame meeting that it isn’t right for a 39-year-old man to go by the name “Junior.” *Amen*
• Tom Coughlin will use a photo of his face from the NFC title game in Green Bay to remind his players about red-zone efficiency.
• Jessica Simpson will attend the game wearing a specially designed jersey with Patriots’ colors and No. 12 on the front and Giants’ colors and No. 10 on the back. She will then be asked to leave by both teams.
• Randy Moss will catch everything that is thrown to him. But because he will be double-teamed, only one pass will be thrown to him.
• Pregame introductions will take so long, they will have an intermission.
• Because the Super Bowl will be held at University of Phoenix Stadium, everyone in attendance will receive a free online degree.
• Matt Leinart will arrive for the game accompanied by Wilmer Valdarrama, Nick Lachey and Danny Masterson but will be denied entry and told at the gate, “Sorry, sir. We don’t have a C list.”
• Deion Sanders will question why LaDainian Tomlinson isn’t in the game until he’s informed that he isn’t a member of either team. *Deion and his slick suits... /vomit*
• Several Giants defenders will sack Tom Brady at once. When the officials pull apart the pile, they will discover that Brady is missing. But soon they will locate him wedged in the gap in Michael Strahan’s teeth. *I spit apple juice on my keyboard at this one...*
• The best Super Bowl commercial will be the one with a cute real-life or animated animal. And there is a 50-50 chance it will also feature Peyton Manning. *If it does feature Peyton, I will most certainly change the channel...*
• Don Shula will be turned away after he tries to enter the stadium carrying a large sign with an asterisk on it. *Again... I hate the 72' Dolphins*
• Tony Romo will be seen walking outside the stadium wearing a sandwich board promoting the Mexican tourism bureau that says, “I went South during the playoffs. Why don’t you?”
• The good news is that the massive amount of beer consumption across the nation during the Super Bowl will provide a much-needed boost to our ailing economy. The bad news is that most beer drinkers paid for all that beer by taking out more subprime loans.

And last but not least... and certainly the most propable.

• The first question out of a network interviewer’s mouth to either Tom Brady or Bill Belichick: “Can you repeat undefeated?” *And it will be met with the cold stare of death...*
