Shut the door!

Will it blend? Yes. Yes it will.

Uh huh... yeah...

I was reminiscing with a friend about crushes on movie stars. I never crushed hard core on any as a youth (real boys have always been more my style) but I did have some preferences- enter Ben Affleck (thank you Armageddon)and Clive Owen sometime around 2001 when he started appearing in BMW commercials. I had this ad pinned to my wall in the freshman dorms at BYU. Then in 2002 Clive appeared as The Professor in "The Bourne Identity" (I totally loved that movie) though Jason Bourne kills him in a field. Tragic. But hot. Who were/are YOUR celebrity crushes?

Busboys & Poets

Last night I went with two friends to open mic poetry night at Busboys & Poets in Shirlington. It was quite the experience... and despite some rather racy poems we had a very good time!

Me, Shannon and Heather.Click here to read Shannon's post about the evening and check out the haiku she wrote on the spot! The best submission in the haiku contest, if I do say so myself.

Snap, snap, snap!

Tron Legacy

I loved this movie. When I walked out I felt like I had been at a dance party- the entire movie is really dark with neon lights, and the electronic music by Daft Punk was awesome. I saw it in Imax 3D- Imax makes everything better! :) See it!

True Grit

True Grit is truly gritty. I didn't know whether to cover my eyes at the gruesomeness or laugh at the humorous dialogue, so mostly I just covered my eyes. Enjoyable, but I'll let you decide for yourself. I heard someone said Jeff Bridges is the new "Sexy" or something along those lines. I must say he played the role very well, though I'll need to see Tron for the final word on whether or not he's deserving of the title.I myself would just as soon give the sexy title to Josh Brolin. He may have played one of the bad guys, but you must admit... he's hot.

The Washington Chorus

Today a couple friends came with me to see our other friend perform with The Washington Chorus. Here we are the Kennedy Center. Me, Shannon (the one in the chorus), Beth and Cindee. We had a great time, the music was awesome!

Theory: Black Holes Contain Universes

"According to a mind-bending study released this past spring, a black hole is actually a tunnel between universes—a type of wormhole. The matter the black hole attracts doesn't collapse into a single point, as has been predicted, but rather gushes out a "white hole" at the other end of the black one, the theory goes."

Read more here!

This theory is very intriguing! It's like, God's way of recycling! I love this, because we believe that matter has always existed and always will exist. And since God follows the same laws of the universe that the rest of us follow, isn't it nice to know that the rules can account for the purpose of a black hole too?

Isn't the universe amazing?

By the way, this totally makes me think of Carl Sagan's book "Contact". He has similar ideas about the purpose of black holes. Though this theory goes a little further. Either way, I find them both very intriguing. If you like this type of stuff at all, you should read "Contact"! I'll even let you borrow my copy. :)

Nerd out.
