DAILY UPDATE

so i was walking home from lynn's house a few nights ago when i saw this:



it was so cute that i had to risk getting sprayed and reeking for DAYS just to take a picture of it from five feet away. it's a good thing skunks are half-blind. also, whoever told me that my blackberry came with a 2.0 megapixel camera was evidently the world's biggest liar. it's a worthless piece of crap. fortunately i am getting a new one soon so you can expect crystal clear pictures of skunks up close and personal in a few weeks.

anyway, i saw public enemies a few nights ago, and i think we should all start a petiton to re-introduce the three piece suit back into the wardrobe of modern day man. who's with me?! the vest kills me. and i'm not talking about the dorky banana republic vests worn by preppies or academic decathalon nerds. i'm talking about THESE kinds of vests:



the leather holster makes the outfit extra hot. oh yeah, so does johnny depp's face.

ok, enough with nonsense. today is our nation's independence day, and i would like to dedicate this inspirational quote to lynn:

"Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: 'We will not go quietly into the night!' We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!"

i am sure jack is rolling his eyes at the cheesiness of the quote but lynn is probably tearing up because she thinks that bill pullman's speech in that scene is one of the greatest ever written in the history of motion pictures. am i right? yes. anyway, it was a pretty low key fourth of july this year. i never want to eat another hot dog again. at least for the next three weeks. haha. i also had a ton of apple pie and ice cream tonight (because it doesn't get more american than that) and now i want to keel over and die. keri's wedding is in three weeks. AUGHHHHHHH RUNNING OUT OF TIME. time to go find the duct tape again in order to get the bridesmaid dress to fit.

lastly, i am off to washington DC monday morning. it's going to be an exciting trip. which reminds me, i really have to quit screwing around and start packing. happy fourth of july to all my faithful readers (all two of you), and a special thanks to those in the armed forces who are serving or have served our country honorably. and did anybody else out there note the hilarious coincidence re: the gay soldier named dan choi? hahaha. aw daniel. i miss you.
