“I believe that there aren’t enough Betty Boops left in the world. Men love girls...”
– LuAnn de Lesseps, who kind of makes me want to vomit. And not that I like to baske in someone else’s misery, but I find it kind of hilarious that the title (“countess”) she clings to so dearly will be stripped of her after her divorce. What a pretentious nincompoop.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling
My review
rating: 3 of 5 stars Again, enjoyed the book. Thought it was a fun fast read. The rich universe of the novels continues to hold my attention and pique my interest. I love the little moments J.K. throws in just for fun (wand flashlights, mandrake adolescents, Harry’s image struggling to leave an unwelcomed photography). ...

Oh snap!
I’ve had a very negative outlook on my job lately. It’s mostly because I’m stuck in a rut: I’ve been working on the same boring work product for weeks. WEEKS people! Screw those who are stuck in dead-end jobs for years, my toleration for boring, low impact work products dwindles after a few days.

The funny thing is, my skin looks better than it...
Co-worker: Oh Laura, do you have a rash on your face??
Me: No, I just didn't feel like putting on make-up this morning.
Co-worker: Oh I really think you do.
Me: No, I just have bad skin.

My heart goes out to Natasha Richardson’s family, though we really have no clue as to her condition, since we only have the Post, TONY, and TMZ reporting on this.

“When Miley grows up, she’ll learn not to have such a sense of entitlement.”
– Radiohead, responding to Miley Cyrus’s fit about not getting to meet them at the Grammy’s
The Daily Show is so awesome
First you need to watch this (JS rips into CNBC for general suckage).
Then you need to watch this (Jim Cramer calls shenanigans on the DS’s taking his clips out of context. JS provides some MORE context, awesomeness ensures.)
These clips just made my lunch so enjoyable.
