Courtney's Blog

Since I have no idea what you are supposed to do on a blog it is most likely that this is where I will post random stuff I find on the internet and the other nuances of my life.

Little Miss Sunshine

First off, if you haven't seen this movie, you must, it is excellent. I am very excited that it got a nod from Mr. Oscar (not the grouch).
the other night my friend Jon and I had an argument about what this movie is really about. Is it about how people are losers like Jon thinks, or, as is more likely because it is my opinion, is it about family and in the end not only can we not escape the idiosyncrasies of our family members but also, they are the only part of our lives that is truly accepting of us. Our families are what keep us sane, even when our families are completely insane. aka I'm right and Jon's wrong. Olive was a winner no matter what frickin' little miss sunshine pageant says!

O'Reilly and Colbert

First, O'Reilly on Colbert


Second, Colbert on O'Reilly

Old Byrd?

Don't hate just because the man is 90 and occasionally takes a nap on the Senate floor

The Byrd Man

Just watch the man's arms. He's right about the W administration too.

Robert Byrd

I adore Senator Robert Byrd. He is not only hilarious to listen to, but also rather insightful. Talk about a man who isn't afraid to say what he wants. Listen to this speech he gave on January 11th but close your eyes and picture his arms flailing through the air.
Clock is Running...
p.s. we won't talk about his possibly racist past

Wii

Who ever thought that Nintendo would not just market to couch potato latch key kids like myself but rather, to the diet enthusiast. I love that people are boasting about the diet power of the nintendo wii. So you have to get off your ass to play a video game with the new WII sports games, or wait, here's an idea, why don't you get off your ass and go outside and play a real game. Last time I checked there is no Nintendo Wii freeze tag or kick the can game. What's next virtual hop-scotch? Lazy kids.
on that note, I still want one.
Oh and be careful how you type Wii, no one wants a Nintendo World War II
