Moscow on the Potomac... man, i just love how that sounds. i'm still on a high from last night, and it continued today because i got my new caps hat in the mail... it's pretty sweet. no longer will i have to rock the old logo. all i need now is an ovechkin sweater and i'm all set.

so, moscow on the potomac got me thinking of other clever nicknames for my favorite Russian-infested ice hockey team based in the nation's capital. I came up with a few... The Red Army, Washington Kremlins, Comrade Capitals... i'm pretty proud of myself. that's what i did in class today, and let's be honest, it was much more interesting than actually paying attention. it's my final week of classes ever, can you blame me? me brain checked out a long time ago.

In Soviet Russia hockey plays you! Sorry, I'll move onto another topic. Go Caps!

i just realized i don't have another topic... nothing interesting happened today. nothing. wow, that's sad. oh, the other day my sister and i were watching tv, i don't really remember, oh, right, it was the soup. you know on E. hilarious show. anyway, the host joel mchale was talking about his recent trip to australia and mentioned that koalas have chlamydia... and he was serious. so i looked it up, sure enough, scientists are even developing a vaccine for them. it doesn't say how they got it, but, i'm guessing some aussie had way too many fosters and had sex with a koala. ok, just kidding, we know that can't be true... they don't actually drink fosters in australia. but seriously, all these koalas suddenly have an std... poor koalas. geez, someone needs to teach koalas how to have safe sex. i can see the caption on the educational posters already...

be careful, i have chlamydia

simple, accurate, and to the point. i guess you could also say, 'don't let anyone in your pouch without a glove.' nah, i like the first one better. i mean, c'mon, koalas? they're not even mammals. if an animal like a donkey or an ape came down with chlamydia it would be weird, but at least somewhat plausible considering the stupid stuff some humans do. but a koala? A KOALA?

ok, so i just read that apparently chlamydia affects a wide range of animals, but still, i think it's pretty funny.

right now i'm watching total recall. stephen colbert mentioned it last week on his show, my sister saved it on the dvr for me to watch. i love any and all mention of this film. i even saved a short clip from The Onion entitled, "Science Teacher Struggles to Justify Showing Total Recall." the clip is hanging next to my bed. Hilarious, maybe in the future i'll post the entire article. not now. now i want to watch. my favorite scene is going on... Last Resort... oh, mutant three-breasted prostitute... now, cue favorite scene... Quaid is walking towards Melena. Mutant with one eye looks annoyed... still walking slowly towards each other... oh, GREAT! I LOVE THIS MOVIE. oh, and here's the guy who's connected to Kuato (i'm not gonna explain the plot of the film, if you want to fully understand what i'm talking about watch the movie... i'll even loan you one of my many copies). The guy who's connected to Kuato also plays the principal in Hamlet 2, i had that on earlier. Hilarious. "Can you tell me how, a little boy, from a dairy farm in Manitoba, who dreams of acting but can't do it very well, and can never get a DECENT AGENT!" Great movie too.

yes, but it can't hold a torch to Total Recall... god how i love the late 80's/early 90's sci-fi hooker clothing. Not to mention Arnold Schwarzenegger is the greatest actor ever. Ever.

salbrent

p.s. and i'm dead serious about Arnold. He is the best. I'll take him in a movie over any actor.
