I think he’s getting less ninja-ier…

New camera!

I got a new digital camera (finally) for V-day from my mom, and I thought I’d try it out. You know what that means…tons of pictures of the animals! I added some of them to my Flickr, so check out that link to it below…

The “one-upper”…

I was reading an article about Kristen Wiig on SNL today in the NY Times, and it mentioned one of her characters that I just found funny. The character’s name is Penelope, and she likes to one-up everything that anyone else says. I think we all know someone like that, and so I found a video of one of her sketches as that character. Check it out, it’s pretty funny…

Make fun of my sunglasses all you want…

Apparently, they’re a fashion “do”…

I’m so gonna see this movie…

Coming from a dance background, I love all those dance movies that came out a few years ago. We all knew it was only a matter of time before a spoof of all that came out. Coming February 6th to a theater near you…(btw, my favorite part: “Oh, black girls!”)

A picture is worth…a blog post…

Thought I’d start up a Flickr deal. I’m going to try to upload a random pic every day about what’s going on with me, but we all know that won’t happen EVERY day. Oh well, it’s a way to get all these pictures off my BlackBerry! I’ll put a permanent link to it on here once Jason shows me how…

Check it out.

Not-so-ninja cat…

So I came home yesterday to find this…

My cat Ginger is the master of opening things. I used to have child locks on all my cabinets when I lived in my apartment, and now that I’m in my house, I have to put a rubber band around the handles of the doors to my washer and dryer because she somehow gets those open. As you can see, she also likes to open the cabinet where I keep all my spare Wal-Mart/Kroger bags.

Apparently, my other cat, Fred, decided he also wanted to play in the bags. It didn’t work out so well for him (see below). He somehow got one of the handles wrapped around his waist and ran around freaking out, trying to get it off. My animals are special.

Ninja Cat…

I saw this video on Entertainment Weekly’s Popwatch blog today, and I thought it was freaking hilarious. This cat has Chuck Norris skills. You know you want those…

A desk-to-the-face waiting to happen…

I saw this article in the New York Times today. Seems like an interesting idea. I don’t know how accurate my typing would be at 2 miles an hour, but it would be cool to give it a shot!

Overheard in…Birmingham
