But speaking of TV...
What a Grey’s Anatomy last night!!
Justin Chambers who plays Alex Karev rocked. His girlfriend, the great Izzie Stephens, is dying…and he showed some serious acting. I know, I know…it’s Grey’s Anatomy, not the best acting in the world, but he did really well. I’m also glad they explained the Denny halucinations…that was too weird.
And who could forget...
So I failed that test I didn't study for...
and watched American Idol instead. Ahh senioritis sucks!
I'm supposed to be studying...
But instead I think I will blog about my fav show…American Idol.
Tonight’s top performers en mi opinion.
1. Adam Lambert
2. Lil Rounds (the judges were too harsh)
3. Matt Giraud (Sexual…despite the mole)
4. Allison Iraheta
4. Kris Allen (sexy!)
I think Motown is much harder to do than it sounds…much harder to “make your own.” The songs are soo well...
I joined Twitter...haha
You see my dad is on it, and I felt behind because I wasn’t. Then I joined and discovered that I wasn’t missing anything.
To steal from my friend Ben…it should be called facebookstatuses.com.
I sat there thinking I didn’t get it, and then I realized there was nothing to get. It’s just statuses. ALOT of news people are on it though. I mean Rick Sanchez talks...
Burned out
I’m over it…work, school, Tuscaloosa, AL. Suz knows what I’m talking about!
I don’t know why I’m complaining b/c I had a good day at work. No yelling, no stressing…and I got everything done on time. Hooray! I think it’s just soo close to the end. Only 32 school days left until I graduate. WOW.
I'm sooo tired...
of sitting in the editing lab…for hours and hours and never feeling a sense of accomplishment. Right now I am waiting for DVDs to burn. They are taking about 15 minutes a piece…and I need 15 copies. I’m going on my 7th hour. My contacts feel like they are glued to my eyeballs. AHH…and I have to be at work at 8:30. I will think about my trip to Chicago on...
Pretty Grim (said in a British Accent)
That’s what Suz and I said when we exited the theater for The Reader. Not because it was bad, in fact it was REALLY good, but because it was real, real sad. And kinda hot at the same time. No one else would say it, but I thought the 15 year old was super cute. Stop thinking I’m a perv. His name is David Kross and he’s 18. Pictured above.
But really, it was a very...
Getting the Facts Straight
This is a post from Jane…she commented about the first Kendra Key post I made on March 1st: Just a quick note- The machine doesn’t have a hundred-year winning streak. The SGA was founded at Alabama in 1914, and the independent candidate has won 7 times since then. One of those times was as recently 1986, when current spokesperson for Tuscaloosa County Schools John Merrill won the...
bell hooks and the SGA election
another women’s studies find.
Hooks brings up such interesting concepts in her article, “Race and Feminity,” pointing out that the history we learn in school of the women’s movement is misleading. These white women reformers were actually quite racist. Yes, they wanted to end slavery, but they didn’t want to change the racial heirarchy and had no intentions of...
So I found out Kalamazoo is...
a top 40 market (it’s a tv thing that means good). My apologies for making fun of it. I would love to get a job in a top 40 market!!
All I do is bitch...
so I thought I would write something positive.
I have great girl friends! Suz, Les, Al, Rach, and Megan (even though she doesn’t live here.) I don’t think some people are as lucky as me in that respect. While I may not have a boyfriend or any guy friends that don’t get on my nerves, I am blessed with girl friends! We have had some fun, chill nights recently out in T-town,...
From Previously on Suzanne
My best friend Suz gave me this idea from her blog.
If I were a diva,
I would hire a maid to clean up after me. I’m sooo messy. It’s gotten worse now that I practically live alone. When I lived with Suz, she made me clean up. I think I have a problem.
Also, I would get my assistant to go to Taco Casa right now and get me some beefy nachos and a chicken burrito and a diet...

PDA
I’m not one of those bitter people who hate PDA…in fact when it’s me in the situation, I love it. BUT as I am sitting here in a computer lab on campus, there is a couple literally making out and feeling each other up right in front me. I can hear the smacking and the whisperings. GROSS. There are times when snuggling and hand holding are appropriate. Computer labs are not...
Obama's Address
This is going to make me sound stupid, but why is Prez Obama talking tonight? It looks like the State of the Union but he’s already done that. He also just had a prime time address a few weeks ago about the catastrophe we call the US economy. I’ve been watching, but it’s too long! A whole hour. Plus everyone keeps interrupting with clapping every five seconds.
My Oscar Picks...
I know I shouldn’t be allowed to pick because I haven’t seen all of the nominated movies, but I live in freakin Alabama where many movies don’t come.
Best Actor: Sean Penn- Milk
Awesome movie! Who cares about a stupid wrestler.
Best Actress: Kate Winslet- The Reader
I haven’t seen it but LOVE her and can’t wait until it comes here…if it ever does.
Best...
Flu Shots Don't Work...
at least for me. I have the “B” strand of the flu which is not covered under the shot, plus bronchitis. I literally felt like I was going to die, which is why I haven’t blogged in several days. However, despite Suz and my mom’s requests, I didn’t go to the doctor and studied and took two tests (which I actually think I did ok on). It completely took a toll on my...
I'M SICK
and it sucks. I have 3 tests on Thursday!!!!! I have barely started. I feel like SHIT. Maybe it’s the flu? But I had a flu shot.
Racist People
I have a friend who is racist but thinks it’s ok.
Last night, he asked the question, “Has anyone here ever kissed a black person?” There were about ten of us in the room and everyone just kinda looked at him. What kind of insane question is that? I didn’t hear what sparked the question. So I perked up…almost imediately…and said “I have!!” And...
I watch waaayyy too much tv...
but it’s so good! I just watched American Idol and can’t wait to see the top 36 perform. I really like all of them, but didn’t understand why they let Danny’s (the guy whose wife died) best friend, Jamal (I think) go…He was good and very memorable despite what Simon said. I also already loathe Tatiana. I really want to watch Real World now, but must get started on...
Sully Sullenburger
is truly a hero. I just watched the 60 minutes interview about the rescue of Flight 1549. You need to watch it online. I balled my eyes out (you may not, I’m just super emotional!)
THE COAT HANGER PROJECT...
is part of the reason I fainted…
one memorable quote before I fainted that I found insightful:
“If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.” —Florence Kennedy
Why do men still dictate what’s right and wrong??
Speaking of that I jotted down a few things that I overheard from a few fratastic guys behind me…don’t worry if it doesn’t...
suz
suz reminded me to add “cow salve” prodounced saaave to the list of my dad’s sayings…it means butter
My dad
I’m reading The Liar’s Club by Mary Karr for class. She is describing her dad and his quirks…it made me think of my dads. My dad is weird…in a good way. I used to get embarrassed and now I love all the weirdness about him…so much more interesting. Sometimes it kind of reminds me of Big Fish, because you almost don’t believe some of the things he says. ...

I just found out one of my favorite authors lived in Tuscaloosa…
I did some research about it…hoping to do a story of my own. I talked to several professors who lived here and worked with him while he was here. It’s actually a really sad story. One of the professors I spoke with said he was only here teaching for a semester, but was in such bad health he decided to stay here...
The Tuscaloosa Bar Scene
While I did have a good time last night, I wanted to comment on what it’s like to go out in Tuscaloosa. There are very few bars and they are extremely clicky. There is a greek bar, a graduate studentish bar, a trendy bar, bars that only black people go to, one for emo/hippies (I know that seems impossible, but we have them here) and one (that I know of) gay bar. Unfortunately I...
Me at the inauguration...this isn't the best... →
In response to my first post...
I refer everyone to Manifesta (Baumgardener and Richards). If you’re not a big reader…just read the prolouge…it says it all.
INAUGURATION 2009
“For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness.
We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus, and nonbelievers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth.
And because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe...
