Mom: (reading Oprah cover) Bieber on Girls
Me: Screw that guy. He's a tool.

Me: Haha, probably.

Sun, 11 Jul 2010 14:17:00 -0700 Supermarket Shenanigans http://dumbluck.posterous.com/supermarket-shenanigans http://dumbluck.posterous.com/supermarket-shenanigans

So, awhile back I went to the supermarket with my ma and they had some fruit and vegetables outside of the store. Ever since I learned to juggle I've been an absolute pain to have in this section and today wasn't an exception. I grabbed the first produce that I could get my hands on - cantelopes. I started to juggle them but was thrown of balance an once came down rather hard into the pile. No damage was done but it wasn't very impressive. Then I hear an elderly chuckle behind me, "Well, nice try." I thank her for the encouragement and look at my mom who's half smiling half scolding me. I walk towards her to help her out but three peaches catch my eye and I plan to redeem myself. I pull off some quick little tricks then I hear another elderly voice beside me but this time not as pleasant. "I hope you plan on buying those." I lie, "Yes ma'am." And shoot my mom a trickster's grin and put them down. There's a lesson to be learned from this story: juggle watermelons.

This year I managed to watch two of the best episodes of anything ever. If that made any sense at all to you - one hundred kudos. I hereby nominate these episodes for Official Lacanlale Awards.

Best Comedy Episode Ever:
30 Rock - S04E02 - Into the Crevasse

Why? I have never laughed so hard so steadily throughout the entire episode. From beginning to end they strike my funny bone with pin-point accuracy from the gavel that's brought from home to the lasor shield. There are two note worthy scenes: the argument in the office and the playful banter in Liz Lemon's apartment. This one's hands down the best much like the next award nominee.

Best Drama Episode Ever:
Bones - S02E09 - Aliens in a Spaceship

Why? Don't let the hoaky title mess with you, this episode is just filled with emotion. It could put rollercoasters to shame. I remember crying in sympathetically feeling Hodgins emotional and physical pain, dropping my jaw and contemplating heavily after hearing about the boy the slit his own throat to give his brother a chance to live, and being elated when they save Bones and Hodgy from the Grave Digger. Amazing. Absolutely amazing.
