If I were Barack Obama...

... for Halloween.

TechCrunch told me that Obama Halloween masks are outselling McCain masks 57% to 43%. Maybe I should join the party. Then Ali (slash Sarah Palin) and I can squander over economic policies and Russia all night when not hunting for needlessly exposed girls to mock relentlessly.

Ooh this could be good.

Marack Obama: Part male, part female, part black, part white, part presidential candidate, part collegiate intern. It's like a Halloween miracle! Or nightmare...

Uh oh...

I feel one of those Saved By The Bell dream-cloud-other-dimension-experience arising...

(Marack and the girls in Boston...)

(Marack and the family at a Red Wings game...)

(Marack pre-shotgun in Ann Arbor...)

(Marack being strangled by a Korean on a roof...)

(Marack being dipped...)

.

Here's a thought...

The Dallas Stars are picking a fight. I wonder if the Red Wings will retaliate at all? Mmm hockey fights.




I wish funny things like this would happen on my flights.

My flight was being served by an obviously gay flight attendant, who seemed to put everyone in a good mood as he served us food and drinks. As the plane prepared to descend, he came swishing down the aisle and told us that “Captain Marvey has asked me to announce that he’ll be landing the big scary plane shortly, so lovely people, if you could just put your trays up, that would be super.” On his trip back up the aisle, he noticed this well-dressed and rather Arabic looking woman hadn’t moved a muscle. “Perhaps you didn’t hear me over those 20 big brute engines but I asked you to raise your trazy-poo, so the main man can pitty-pat us on the ground.” She calmly turned her head and said, “In my country, I am called a Princess and I take orders from no one.” To which (I swear) the flight attendant replied, without missing a beat, “Well, sweet- cheeks, in my country I’m called a Queen, so I outrank you. Tray-up, Bitch.”

Something I didn't know about the Olympics but that is still interesting:

[Choi Jeong] designed the large scale installation that surrounds the jamsil olympic stadium for the seoul design olympiad. choi created the installation using various types of plastic products such as milk containers, water bottles and crates. here are more images of the installation.

...Anyone have any funny texts in their inboxes right now???

Twitter, the Dean, and mold.. OH MY!

I might have to purchase some of these to bring my lunch to work in. Not that I'm afraid someone will steal my lunch. It's no Jimmy Johns or anything...



Seriously though. I need a lunch box. So if anyone has suggestions, please share.





...

Apparently Forbes decided Boston was the 7th best city for singles.... Hmm. Really?? Atlanta was number one.





...

Recently discovered Twittervision while perusing some blogs. Interesting to see who in the world is updating.


..

Speaking of Twitter... Dean Elmore joined the club! (He even blogs! My word!) It's pretty awesome. His updates are interesting and a great way to connect with the massive student body at BU.

I think I might e-mail him and tell him to follow people because he's missing messages people are sending his way... Maybe I'll meet him at the BU Pub to discuss social media and beer.

This is what I drive to work in:

I'm getting sick of the Olympics jingle...

... but I found a new Olympian crush.

Hellooooo Sasha Klein.






Speaking of water...

I refuse to join the block party until I share this with you...

On my back to school list:

Unless I misunderstood, this is called a Ghettoblaster for Monks. It is meant for monks but will be seen around campus on Maria's shoulder blaring Calabria 2008 in between classes:




In other news, dad rigged the car in preparation for our drive back to Boston. He hates stopping during the drive. Bathroom breaks are timed. To save us all the aggravation, he simply built this:




Dear MBTA,
Please replace every T with one of these.
Thanks,
Maria






Man builds own batmobile, finally attracts ladies.

Odds and Ends

Mhhm, girl. Preach.

Scrabulous Update:

The brothers Agarwalla, who created Scrabulous are creating a new game called Wordscraper.

The game includes customizable rules and a different design- probably an effort to avoid future lawsuits. The customizable features of this new game can be used to create boards that resemble the familiar Scrabble/Scrabulous layout.

Sounds too complicated for me. I'll stick to the actual board, thank you.

...

How convenient would this be? I need one of these:

It's not me. It's you.

I'm copying you again, Maxie.

5 someecards that fit me perfectly even though I didn't look at them all because there are too many:





... It happens.





...Well I'm not.




...My brothers want to develop a required screening test.




...Because sometimes I just don't feel like talking.




... Mmm. Meat.
