how to pay a parking ticket

I could wait and post this picture tomorrow morning, but it's way too good to let it get lost in a list of other things.

Ever get a parking ticket? Have you ever looked around to see if nearby cars did too?

Next time I think you should... I know I will! Look:


Can we say GENIUS?!?! SERIOUSLY!! Genius of the YEAR Award right here!

It's a shame it doesn't work on speeding tickets or running red light tickets... Then my life would be A-OK again.

watch: turning a limp into a pimp walk

This is a long video, and may seem not worth your time at first [I say that because that was my original reaction], but it totally is.

This guy, Josh Sundquist, is a cancer survivor who had his leg amputated. Now he's known as the three legged man and he travels around giving motivational speeches and doing stand up comedy. And oh yeah... He skis.

This video shows him starting out with the comedy, and ending up with the motivational speech. It's phenomenal the whole way through and you should definitely watch it.



I absolutely love that some people can really look at things in the most positive light and spread it to everyone else around them.

Aw.. What a nice, wholesome, emotional post. I love it.

love,
elizabethany

PS: Homeboy can RUN!!! For having one leg... Err.. I mean 3... He's got some serious pep in his step!!

kim kardashian is not pretty

Call me a Kardashian hater if you want, but I speak the truth: Most of the sisters are not hott.

I know I said I liked Kim's new blonde hair, and I still may, but this picture confirms that homegirl is unattractive.

Some amazing paparazzi caught her out and about with no makeup on!

I'm sorry, but her butt is not attractive, either. Big- Yes. Nice- No way.

Seeing these pictures make me think one about one thing: How amazing would I look if I had an amazing stylist and makeup artist?! I mean, really... I'm more attractive without makeup than she is. [No, I'm not cocky at all, but I know this is a true statement after seeing this picture of her.]

Kim... Seriously.... Keep the make-up on and fix your hair before going in public. Thanks.

love,
elizabethany

PS: On another note, her sister Kourtney [the only hott one] was featured on the cover of US Weekly with Kendra showing off their baby bumps! How precious!

watch eTV: finding the rwdc cast episode 10

Finally!! The wait is over!

I do apologize that you've had to wait almost 2 weeks for this new episode, but as I'm sure you've already noticed, things have been pretty busy.

For this episode we went down to Rhino Bar again to see Josh and whatever else was going on for what we thought was just another Thursday night. Turns out, it was a big RWDC eventful night.



I'll admit... I need a new camera. An HD Flip would be perfect, but a girl without a "real job" can only dream at this point... And keep her fingers crossed!

To read all about the night, read my Metromix blog!

Again, thanks for watching! Whether you're a lover or a hater, I got your attention and that couldn't mean more to me! I LOVE ya!

morning hangover 083109

GOOOOOODDD MORNING, LOVES!!! Happy MONDAY!!

Okay, okay. It's never fun to hear "Happy Monday" in the morning. I'm sorry. Here are some things to get your mind off of it:

• Need advice on life? Old people are probably the best to get it from.
• DC is looking for topless hairstylists.... ...!
  
• Sometimes things pop up in awkward but hilarious places... Like these advertisements.
• I still plan on doing something like this, and I'm a little upset I haven't seen a couple of these. They're the greatest flash mobs on the internet.
• Imagine being dyslexic and reading the news headlines. They might freak you out, or they might make you laugh.
• Forget about migraines, I hope I never get exploding head syndrome!
  
• 2009 is nowhere near over, but there's already a list of the year's greatest celebrity feuds.
• These dogs are having a little too much fun.
• Who wants to bet this doll was Miley Cyrus' idea?
• The same people who like to eat their pets, also like to drink their sweat, too. I think I just barfed in my mouth.
• This is such an awkward tattoo... WHY would someone do this?!?
• Do the Barbie Dance! And check out Ken wearing super tight, bright blue pants and a fedora!....Huh?!
  
  
  
• I bet this is what Lance has to help him out when we film eTV... Backflip shoes.
  
  
  
• A place called Autauga Country probably doesn't get a lot of exciting news... But THIS... Is something special and TOTALLY newsworthy.
  
  

Everyone have a fabulous kick-start to the week!

elizabethany

nifty website: three frames

Another random but completely worth your time kind of website.

This website, Three Frames, takes 3 frames of TONS of movies, and loops them. You see the same 3 frames over and over again, and some of them are really funny.

I love how some of them just look like 3-D pictures or something! And how the repetition of such a little movement can be such a funny thing to look at.

10 points for these guys who make them and post them daily!

watch: high school musical- the thriller

I must admit, I'm a fan of the High School Musical movies. I'm not afraid to tell it to the world. I've always loved a good Disney Channel Original.

This mock trailer is freakin' great, though. It may be making fun of the movies big time, but it's so fabulous.

It's High School Musical: The thriller. AKA What if the teens had to live through some scary things?



I hope you watched even if you don't like the movie because it's probably even more amusing to those who don't like it.

So amusing. I need one of these for Clueless or something.

morning hangover 082809

WOOHOO!! IT'S FRIDAYYYYY!!!

Hopefully Thirsty Thursday didn't get the best of ya last night, but if it didn't, here's a pick-me-up for you!

• School supplies were so bangin' back in the 90s. Everything was, really... But who can deny the Trapper Keepers and Lisa Frank?!
• Ever think that it'd be kinda hard to screw in a Snuggie?! False thought. There's even a website dedicated to showing you how.
• There are 7 types of NCAA female athletes. These guys go over each and every one.
• Today is the last day "Reading Rainbow" will air and I'm depressed about it. Celebrate its life with the show's top theme song covers.
• It's totally okay to lie on the first date... Depending on the lie. These are the 5 acceptable lies.
• Technology is taking over... Duh. This shirt is capitalizing on it and I think it's hilarious.
• A real life bear actually knows how to use a ladder! Whattt.
• Have you ever seen these candies or whatever they are?! Have you noticed the packaging?! The fruits are totally banging and it's awesome.
• Asians fascinate me. Actually.. the videos they make and shows they produce etc. do. Here are two more to add to the list: The Pringles Game and Beer for kids!
  
  
  
  
  
• This crow or raven or something is speaking like a parrot would! Woah!
  
  
  
• This poor kid was just tryin' to hang out in his car when his bratty sister had to push him while his family taped him getting trampled. No bueno.
  
  

Alright kids! That's all for this morning! Have a FABULOUS Friday!

nifty: the arkeg

Is it bad that I find way cooler things on male-driven sites than.. Well, anything else?

For instance they said this is the invention from Heaven, and I think I might agree.

I introduce to you... The Arkeg. Part arcade game, part kegerator. 100% GENIUS.

There are all sorts of customizations, too! You can put your pictures on the side, add some bar stools or drains for the keg... The possibilities are ENDLESS!

Did I mention there are OVER ONE HUNDRED GAMES already pre-loaded into the machine, with the ability to add more?! Holy moly. I'm in love.

The only issue: It costs $4000. WHATTT. Even I can admit that's a little much for a sugar daddy.

Dangit. I need a plan B from a sugar daddy. Grrr.

watch: fruit gushers make me feel crazy with happiness

FRUIT GUSHERS! Oh man. So great. I'm not going to lie, we still have them in my household thanks to my brother... Who is 18 and in college.

Anyway... How do you advertise such things? "They make me gush with excitement"?!? Yeah... Probably not very appropriate for a kids' snack, huh?

Instead, they make this video that was virtually made for viral stardom:



First of all-- ELFRIDA?! Her name is ELFRIDA?!
Second- Check out the kid's face after the dancers first start dancing crazy with happiness. CLASSIC. He had the exact same face I did.

I'm so bothered. From the super skinny guy to the girl with mosquito bite boobs... This is not okay... But still so, so great.

on the racks: a seinfeld reunion!

The Summer of Deaths or the Summer of Reunions for popular old sitcoms on magazine covers?

The cast of SEINFELD reunited on the cover of Entertainment Weekly! [Okay, so they're actually reuniting on the new season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and this is just a promo for that, but still!]


They look all happy and precious and friendly just like the good ol' days, don't they!?

The co-creator of Seinfeld, Larry David, is the guy in the middle. He's also in CYE.

Now I wonder... When will the fabulous Nickelodeon shows reunite?! That'd be fun.

love,
elizabethany

watch: best bullrides ever

Maybe this is a little mean to watch and post considering they probably didn't realize they'd become victims of the Internet, but it's not my problem they let someone tape something so entertaining!

If there are two people who should be awarded the Best Mechanical Bullriders EVER Award, these ladies are it.





Don't hold it in. Let it all out. A nice, loud laugh!

Oh man. I love the Internet and video cameras.

love,
elizabethany

nifty website: tweets from above and below

This could be something to drive me and everyone in the world absolutely nuts, but I love it!

This website is called Tweet from Above or Tweet from Below, and it sends out anonymous tweets without any connection to you.


Basically, you can send out anything, to anyone, and they'll have no idea who it is. It also shows the tweets that others have sent out right on the page!

Let the games begin, my friends! This could be so interesting. Imagine the possibilities! I'm about to tweet so many people and they'll have no idea.

Oh wait... Dagnabbit. They're going to know about it now. Urgh. I'll still getchya, though!

elizabethany

watch: shark chomps on a penis

I don't even know how to intro this video. All I'm going to say is you should look close and see if you can tell what the shark is chomping on.



Uhhh... Yeahhh... That definitely looks like it is someone or something's junk in this shark's mouth.

Guys- are you cringing in pain?

It could be an intestine or something completely unrelated to a body, but it definitely looks crazy. You be the judge. I don't know how to get in touch with the Shark Week pros.

morning hangover 082609

I got really sick of calling these posts "Rise and Shine." It seemed so dull, lame, and not very "elizabethany."

New name: Morning Hangover. It's more fitting because it's a collection of things I didn't post the night before....

So.. GOOD MORNING! Let's cure this hangover, shall we?!

• Want to know if you're a fearless badass? Can you ride a municycle? I bet my brother and dad would try this... It's mountain-unicycling.
• Jurassic Park: The Real Deal. Thanks to chickens, it might be a real-life thing soon.
  
• 11 of your favorite sitcoms have porn parodies. Have you seen them? I don't recommend watching this at work, unless your Big Mr. Bossman or something.
  
• If you carry cash, you're carrying cocaine... You druggie. Bad girl/boy!
• Animals make O-faces too! They're pretty precious when they do.
  
• A graph to explain what sex is like for people in the movies, in real life, and with two females is probably pretty accurate. [Though I've never experienced girl on girl action, I'll take everyone's word for it.]
• Video proof that Michael Jackson is ALIVE!
  
  
  
• Lawnmower: 1. Woman: 0. Or maybe it should be the other way around? You be the judge.
  
  
  
• Ronald McDonald is a hott mess while getting interviewed by PETA. [Sponsored by Funny or Die.]
  
  
  Bonus: Creepiest Ronald McDonald pictures ever.
  

Alright, that should be enough to get you through the morning and into the afternoon! Enjoy your HUMP DAY, everyone!

great timing with photography

I love, love, LOVE this collection of pictures.

There are two of these collections actually, but it's on the same site. They're pictures that were taken at the absolute perfect times. Ya know, the ones that make you go "OMG!" or "HAHAHAHA" or "Wowwwww...."

Seriously... You'll be saying all of the above out loud. Just look at some:

Because I'm a picture freak, I thought of a couple that I or someone captured the exact right moment as well:

I love photography. I love pictures. I love Kodak moments.

Do you have any to contribute?! Send em my way! Links, emails, whatever. If you want them posted- I will certainly have them up!

watch: heidi montag does miss universe

I'm mad.

A GLOBAL BROADCAST that showcases some of the classiest [or should I say "classiest"?] women in the world gets to pick one or a couple performers for the show and who do they pick? HEIDI MONTAG/PRATT.

Yes. If you didn't already know [because I'm late to post this thanks to Morgantown, but it still needs to go up], Heidi performed at the Miss Universe Pageant. It was terrible, as you might imagine.

I love everything that they just said, but I've also seen people comparing her to Britney Spears on the VMA's when she wore her nude outfit.

WHAT! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!? How is it even possible to compare the two?! Sure, BritBrit may have lip synced too, but at least she can dance and put on a good show. She's also famous for doing something with her life. Heidi-- Not so much.

Angryangryangry. Heidi Montag or Pratt or whatever you want to call yourself, you suck at life and you give the US a bad name. Just so you know.

the most douchey colleges in the nation

This is golden.

I never knew GQ Magazine did this, but I'm lovin' it right now!

They put out the 25 Douchiest Colleges, and it's pretty funny. I love how they kick it off:

...Picking the right school can be daunting. That's why GQ offers it's heavily researched, possibly stereotypey, but still quite accurate guide. [Hint: If you're an alum from an Ivy League school in Providence, RI, get ready to cancel your subscription.]

My favorite mention on the list:
#25: UVA. As much as I love the campus, I actually think it should have been higher. [Sorry to all of my friends who went/go there, but the stereotype hold true from what I can tell... You dress up for football games for God's sake.]

Check out the rest, though!

I love how they put "Home of the _____ douche." So great.

I must admit I was scared going through the list, but I shouldn't have been. After spending the weekend in Morgantown, I am 100% sure that we are not under any "douchey" category.

love,
elizabethany

rise and shine 082509

Let's get this day started with some interesting finds, shall we?

• Random, but totally interesting: Cover songs that you never knew existed and maybe aren't half bad.
• I love dogs, but I hate the little ones that look like rats. I think I shall use this page to help me choose I nice, big, fun-loving dog.

• My new goal in life is to visit every one of these places: The weirdest hotel rooms in the world.
• Do you follow the 5o funniest people on Twitter? Double check by looking at this list!

• The laugh of the day: Piggy back from the mascot.. Which doesn't really have eyes.
  
  
  
• Could this be Miley's new music video? It should be.. It's a lot more entertaining than whatever she may come up with, I bet.
  
  
  
• Another laugh of the day: When you realize you are just not meant to bounce on a trampoline.
  
  

Alright that's it for this morning! I am headed back to Virginia today so blogging will resume as usual! Enjoy your day, loves!
