new housewife of atlanta
have you watched the season premiere of the second season of the best show on bravo yet? last night we met the new housewife Kandi Burruss. according to my sources, Kandi (former member of Xscape) was lined up to be on a BET reality show called "Tiny and Toya" with her former bandmate (and wife of 2Pz favorite T.I.) Tameka Cottle. That show didn't get picked up, and a week later Kandi got the call from the housewives producers.Kandi is a singer and a successful songwriter, including a Grammy win for "No Scrubs" by TLC (and 2Pz favorite "Bills, Bills, Bills" by Destiny's Child). It looks like this season is going to have some serious drama, and I must say, I'm looking forward to getting to know Ms. Burruss a little better.
thx _____!
thx g.animals!...
...for taking "too hot for chips" bi-coastal! and thx to 2Pz favorite portland blog, staff meal, for getting it out there. i hope it cools down soon.

Obama Beer Summit
So you have probably heard about that guy, Henry Louis Gates Jr. the Harvard African American studies guy who had the police called on him when he was just trying to get into his home after a vacation.
well, the president Barack Obama invited Mr Gates and the arresting officer James Crowley to his home to drink beer and take pictures and just have it all out. Cute, right?
now the important news.... WHAT DID THEY DRINK?
Barack Obama: Bud Light (just like me! love the drinkability)
Joe Biden: Buckler (non-alcoholic?)
Henry Gates: Sam Adams Light (ok, i guess.)
James Crowley: Blue Moon (what is he a girl?)

tales from the south : nashville!
so....YESterday, i went up to nashville to meet some more friends for happy hour / mexi-dinner!
clockwise from me : christina, jeff, julie, beeun, and melissa (joel's sis, jicydak).
it was such a delight to see everyone. beeun and i had our usual las palmas grande beer race, and he beat me, but only because he was in a big nerdy hurry to go see harry potter. and melissa drank an entire pitcher of margaritas all by herself.
after beeun got out of his dumb movie, he, katie, and i went to a neighborhood bar, fooBAR.
they had this game, which they called shuffleboard. it's like that old people game, but played on a table with your hands. it was really fun, even though i never won. not even once.
this happened. i'm not sure...what that was...
we stopped for a delicious fourth meal on the way home. i got this sweet arm-band in my kid's meal, and i gave it to beeun for being so hospitable, and also because it reminded me of how he dressed back in college.
thanks to all the yallstars for hanging out! it was fuuuunnnnnn!

what's for lunch?????
this quaint little east nashville establishment called "i dream of weenie"!
katie took me! they have hot dogs and diet cokes!jelly?
omg, did you hear?!
twilight star rachelle lefevre, who plays victoria in the first 2 movies, has been replaced! she agreed to be in another movie that shoots for 10 days during eclipse's 3 month shooting schedule, and summit has decided not to accomodate her.they would rather re-cast her as stoopid bryce howard and ruin everyone's lives.
too b, rachelle. this was your big break. i hope you have fun with dustin hoffman and that this isn't the end of your career. (and,actually, i think bryce will make a pretty awesome vampire. i just don't like change.)
elderly vs. children
i wonder if lorraine's grandma is sweating as if in a sauna? im going to go king solomon on their asses and give everyone a piece of the air conditioner.
dear god
ugh. i put my AC up on craigslist and got about a million responses. i talked to the first guy who responded and he said he would pick it up tomorrow (which is perfect for me because i might be sleeping here tonight).
i tried to be courteous by responding to all the emails letting them know that i already made arrangements to sell the AC, and some people just won't take a hint. Lorraine really needs it for her grandma. I don't need this pressure, I have movers coming between 1pm and 5pm. yikes.

tales from the south : atlanta round-up
one thing you might not know about me, is that i was born in atlanta, georgia...
in this very hospital, in fact. this was the first place i ever WAS.
some of my family still lives there, and i went down to visit my aunt laurie and uncle mark and cousin stanley this past weekend.
while i was in town, i found out that a big group of my murfreesboro friends who now live in atl were having a cook out, so i went to visit!
from left-to-right in an up-and-down zig-zag pattern: dale, eric, stacey, bill, me, michelle, will gill, matt ferry, and tyler.
this is billy! i credit him with the esteemed title of "my oldest friend". what an honor! we've known each other since 3rd grade, when i moved to tennessee in 1991. that means we've been friends for 18 years! omg.
as every good cook-out does, this one led to a trip to the strip clurb. this wasn't just any strip clurb, however. this is the clermont lounge, which came highly recommended by john, i should say. it is atlanta's oldest strip club, and it seemed to employ atlanta's oldest strippers (tyler's tagline: "where strippers go to die")
we found this vols car on the way home. isnt it gorgeous?
stacey and dale were nice enough to let me stay with them in their apartment along this ridiculously long hallway.
lola! wanna go to the roof?! wanna go for an elevator ride?!? huh?!
the view from stacey and dale's roof in midtown! pretty!
big thanks to everyone mentioned here for the hospitality and a great visit!

tales from the south : the georgia aquarium!
while in atlanta this weekend, my mom took me to the aQuArIuM! that's how much she loves me. as you can imagine, i was really pumped. i took a lot of pictures of all kinds of creatures. want to see some? i thought so...
this is a beeeaaautiful jellyfish. i learned that they raise sea monkeys in the back and that's what they feed the jellies!
they had one of those underwater tunnels. it was 100 feet long.
the aquarium has 4 whale sharks. this is trixie, she's the biggest one. that's also one of joel's nicknames.
red gold!!!!
this is nico, one of the aquarium's three beluga whales. he was a real showboat, i'll tell you what. it all made sense when i found out he was on loan from the new york aquarium in bRoOkLyn! represent, nico!
these were called go-vols fish. i promise...it's science.
omg this ridiculous creature was my gchat picture for a while, but i never knew what it was. turns out...its a leafy sea dragon!
GiAnT sQuId!!!!
that's a piranha and it WILL eat you.
they had this petting tank...with sting rays that you could reach in and touch. i touched one! it was really slimy and sometimes i could feel their skeletons which made me stm.
you could also touch these sharks. but only a two-finger touch. they kept saying that. "this is a two-finger touch." ctm.
and finally, here's a video from the river otters tank. they were playing with a piece of carpet. isn't it just like georgia to give the otters some trash to play with?
i had so much fun at the aquarium! if you want to see the rest of my pictures, just click on this.
