OK, so check out my new header.

Yeah, I made that. 

I know that its not as smooth or as aesthetic as some would have it, and it could probably use more work, tutorials and whatnot, but it took me a seriously long time to make, arrange, etc. and I'm really ridiculously proud of it.  I think it turned out pretty well considering all the cutting out/layering I had to do! Wheee!

So yeah, this is me being an arrogant bitch and saying that I rule!  Clearly, Nowitzki and Nash rule more than my pitiful graphics skizzills, but I'm celebrating both nonetheless! 

And its nearly 4am.  Sweet. 

Oh, and since I'm already being a braggart, I just thought Id mention that my grandfather was Lewis' Black's high school principal...and I have the photo evidence to prove it.  Not with me, mind you, but I hope to scan that in soon.  Cause he looks the same in 65 as he does now!   Yeah, its a wow. 

Anyway, love and sweet dreams to all. 

*does a happy dance at her new gorgeous Germadian (German/Canadian, for the uninitiated!) header*  WOOT!!!

For those of you who haven't seen Pixar's 'Cars', drop whatever you're doing right now and go see it.  Seriously.  It was such a joyful experience; its been a long time since I've laughed that hard at a movie.  At one point, I laughed so hard I had tears coming out of my eyes.   Its hard to describe, but its one of those movies that ends up making you feel good about life in general.  

Bless you, Pixar.  I really needed that since I've gotten myself so worked up over the stupid NBA finals. I don't need to go into a long review of this movie.  Its a solid A+ all around.

In other news, I had a blast with Glenn, Lesley, and Thara today.   It was hot as blazes but we had a great time going to see 'Cars', ogling Lesley's HOT car, admiring her stickshifting skizzills, and then playing in the park with my bullwhip. 

Yes, ladies and gents, I own a bullwhip.  Don't get any ideas; I don't use it for anything kinky or for BDSM purposes.  Its really more of a collectors item, since its the same type whip used in Batman Returns by Michelle Pfeiffer.  As a fencer, I have quite the um, arsenal of weaponry and collect martial arts equipment.  I just consider this one of my more unusual weapons.  Its 8 feet long and makes THE best sound when you crack it.  Once Lesley and Thara got it to work, they couldn't stop cracking it! Its strange, but its addicting!  The crack...IS crack!  Very powerful thing, wielding something that can break the sound barrier at 700 miles an hour.  Awesome.  I'm sure you all are running away freaked out, but it does give you an incredible feeling of power. 

In less exciting news, I've got tons of laundry to do and I can't believe its gotten so late.  Argh!!
