Proving a Point

Mamacita tagged me a while back and I thought I'd use this opportunity to show you all that I do not limit my reading to blogs and Us Weekly. So here it is.

1. Pick up the nearest book ( of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people. & post a comment here once you post it to your blog, so I can come see.

My book is The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett:

"Then on holy days, when people come from all over the country to hear the services in the cathedral, we gather farthings galore."

"It seems to me we might man the bridge on holy days only and give you a fire out of the proceeds," said Philip.

Paul looked anxious.

What do you think about that? The book is 973 pages long and I'm on page 796! That's right, bitches! And I'm not tagging anyone else because I'm a badass mothereffer.

Now, lest this post get too scholarly, I ask you to view this video, but for the love of God, DO NOT watch it in front of your kids, your boss, or the Pope. I swear, my stomach hurt from laughing so hard.

Thanks to Sundry Morning for turning me on to this sweet little gem.

I need to start receiving emails like this

Ladies:

From here on out I would like to be called L.C. I feel that I bear an uncanny resemblance to Lauren Conrad (my Avon representative agrees) and since my Avon/mark.addiction has reached an unprecedented level, L.C. just "feels right."

I am slowly watching The Hills. I tivo'd a bunch of them as I have no life.

I love Heidi. Is there something wrong with me? While Lauren is nice enough, there is no doubt in my mind that there is a tape out there with her legs behind her head. Please let me know if I need therapy as I aligning myself with Team Heidi.

Thank you for your continued support.

L.C.

You really need to be reading Leslie at Reclaiming Miss Havisham for many reasons, one of which is to possibly beg to be on the email list of Leslie's sister, the author of the above email. It's kind of like a poignant "I'm going to be having a sex change operation soon and I'd like to have your support" type of letter. It feels weighty like that, yet it's about The Hills. Leslie's commentary makes it even better.

Not only is Leslie so so funny, but she has tons of style. You should go check her out if you haven't already. Go on now. Shoo!

Speaking of the Kardashian-Jenners...

Have you seen the blog Men Who Look Like Old Lesbians? Because Bruce Jenner is the most convincing man who looks like an old lesbian:

It's kind of like a weird optical illusion. Who knew you could make a whole blog out of this? (that's totally a Kardashian girl behind him, right?)

A little gem of a blog

Have you ever been exploring in blogger-land and stumbled upon a fresh new blogger, someone that you want to remember? But then you follow one of her links and the next thing you know, you're lost and can't remember how to get back to your new little fave. Despair! Lucky for me, I dug deep and recalled her name and was able to get back to her only to find that others have discovered her too. She has already been included on Desire to Inspire's weekend links and her bedroom, the one pictured above, is going to be featured on Design*Sponge on Thursday.

Meet The World According to Jessica Claire, and the post that made me want to come back for more. And also this one. Check her out!
