Guilty as charged! I'm a daydreamer!
Ok, I try my hardest to pay attention in class, I really really do. But ya know, the lights are on, but nobody's home, sadly applies to me a lot more than I would care to admit.
But to make my professors feel better, it's not just in class! Assignments take me twice as long because my mind just wanders away and I can't quite get it back.
But I don't mind. Sometimes it's good to take a break.
A spring break, baby! New Orleans, here I come!

46. The Little Man Rule of Kings
Yes, I am that annoying drunk person during a game of Kings, when Jacks (?) is drawn and that person is saying "Little man rule! little man rule!"
Blame Hannah's Chi Psi friends at Wake, because that's where I learned it my freshman year.
And it's AWESOME. C'mon, more than than drink, drank, drunk. Or no first names (although that one is tricky). And it's so irritating I know but no one really pays attention. It's just an excuse for me to say "bombs away!" in an annoying voice.
Which I guess is annoying. Sorry that this is a favorite thing at the expense of others.
My awesome illustration on Hannah's white board.
Idea: Have always just said "bombs away!" but maybe should come up with a new phrase for future? Hmm, something to consider. Thoughts?

45. Grease 2
I am so so SO excited to write about this. Grease 2 rocks! I could seriously watch it over and over, I think.

Ladiess
Premise: Basically like the original, but opposite-ish. Michael Carrington is the new British guy, and wants to impress Stephanie Zunoni, the leader of the Pink Ladies. Problem is, Pink Ladies can only be with T-Birds (duh). So, Michael learns to ride a motorcycle. (Motorcycles are the new cars, didn't you know?)Along the way, the gang goes bowling, particpates in a talent show, has a senior luau and a desperate guy tries to lose it in a bomb shelter.
Classic.

Right after Michael has arrived at Rydell High
My favorite moments of the movie (in no particular order):
1. Reproduction. 'Nuff said.
2. Johnny's squeal (?) in the bowliing alley. Maybe it's a scream. Maybe it's a screech. Whatever it is, it's gold.
3. The girls' costumes in the talent show/the nameless character with the braids. Love her!
4. The entire "Cool Rider" sequence. Such a good song, I wanna be Stephanie Zunoni.
5. "You're mother don't even have to know 'bout it."
Least favorite part: "Behind These Charades". Honestly. What were they thinking??
I used to own a copy of this DVD. I have no idea where it went, given that I still have the case. Mark my words, I will hunt that DVD down.
FYI: I LOVE the original Grease. Love love. In no way could this ever replace it. Grease is a classic. Grease 2...is a "classic", if you catch my drift.

44. Man v. Food
If you haven't seen this show yet, please go turn on your television to the Travel Channel. Odds are, this show is on right now.
Gross? A little. Entertaining? Highly.
Photo Credit: sweettater.files.wordpress.com
I for one, can't stomach watching that gross hot dog eating contest or anything else involving shoving lots of food into one's mouth. But this show is totes different!
From the Travel Channel's Web site: "host Adam Richman sets out to travel the country in search of the best places to do some serious indulging. Adam begins his quest to find the best traditional food the nation can serve up."
Basically, he goes to a city, samples some of it's "big eats", before competing in a food challenge of sorts, like multiple sandwiches or huge pizza or ice cream sundaes. Fun, right!
Somehow, it's all very entertaining. I think the host is quite charming! I mean, if I have to watch someone attempt a breakfast burrito the size of a small child, it would have to be him.
Sometimes, when eating something very large, I like to pretend that I'm on the show. See if I, (wo)man, can beat food. One time, Shelby and I did it together with a huge burrito. But could I have done it alone? No, food probably woulda whooped my ass.

43. Gelato
This was a toss-up, readers, a difficult decision. Ice cream?? Gelato??
Well, as you can see, gelato won out. (Not that I don't still love you, ice cream).
Sometimes, you just want to feel dainty and cute while eating dessert. And my Coldstone Birthday Cake Remix, while delicious, certainly, does not make me feel that way. Gelato, in contrast, comes in those cute little multi-colored dishes, with itty spoons in sophisticated flavors! Yes! It's the J. Crew ruffle tee version of a dessert, if you will.*
I'm still on the gelato hunt here in Richmond, but in New Orleans there are several places with the good stuff. Sucre** smells bad, but the decor is really cute and so's the gelato. My favorite is La Divina Gelateria, once featured on one of Alton Brown's TV shows. They have like a million flavors I can't decide on, the sign of a good place, but I always go with the same one, creme brulee!
And the gelato in Europe! I ate it with one Katie in Paris, where they made it into a flower! and had gelati from three different shops in three days with my other Katie in Florence! Hells to the yeah!
Also, places that serve gelato are always really cute. I'm just sayin. So fellas, take a girl there for a date and she'll feel all dainty and gelato isn't gonna bust the bank, either.
*Go with it, people!!
**I'm friends with them on Facebook. Lots of annoying events, and they won't friend Hannah, what up with that??

42. My Mom
I love my mommy. Not that I don't love my daddy. But I think my mommy deserves a shout-out.
A. She reads this blog a lot.
B. She works really hard (like driving my car up to school and helping me get all moved in) and I don't think I tell her enough that I think she's super! So now she just has to read it on the world wide web.
C. We have fun together, watching Bravo, among other things. And we text a lot too!
Yay for moms!
I would like to add that I am drinking wine right now that she bought for me. Thanks Mom!
