Ummm...WHOA!!!

What the F happened to Jewel?!? I thought the uber-glamorization in that Intuition video was some cultural statement not a permanent change. I don't want some sex kitten parading as folk singer - I want my used-to-be homeless, crooked teethed, grungy Jewel!!!

Seriously - I might have to return my slightly dogearred copy of A Night Without Armor.

Dear ABC,

Stop splicing together old episodes of Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy into a "Catchup Special" and calling it a new episode. It's not. However, my poor trusting Tivo doesn't know that and records it as if it were a new episode. Then I get all excited when I see it on my list - followed promptly by me getting all pissed off when I realize it is not a new episode at all.

I realize you are saving the new episodes for May Sweeps. But just the same, it's a jerk move and you should stop.

Love,
Sarah

P.S. That What About Brian show is dumb.

Justice Kennedy

At the Supreme Court
Originally uploaded by SarahorNicholas.

Last week, I had the honor of meeting Justice Anthony Kennedy. As I have previously mentioned, Jamie is ridiculously connected so I wasn't too surprised when out of nowhere he asked if I wanted to go with him to the Supreme Court and meet Justice Kennedy. My answer was a resounding yes.

The Justice came in a spoke with us for about a half an hour and was interesting and witty. He talked about the importance of the Court and the changes its gone under recenty. There was a short Q&A and I was allowed to ask him a question. I asked him what he thought was the number one mistake oral advocates make. He responded that lawyers often try to cover up the difficult, weaker points of there case when that is exactly what the Justices want to talk about.

It was really fascinating to see him upclose and personal. You expect Justices to be staid and impersonal but he was very warm and seemed sincerely interested in talking to us. All in all, it was really amazing to get a better understanding of not only a Justice but probably the most powerful Justice on the Court at this point in time.

A Couple of Things

1. Everyone stop wearing cropped pants. Seriously. Stop it! They are not flattering on anyone. They make tall girls look short and short girls look shorter. I know they are everywhere but try to resist. Try hard.

2. hehehehehehe

3. Oprah today was the most feminist-oriented thing I've seen on national television in a long time! "Women are being exploited." "There is a machine that profits over making women feel small." This is why I love Oprah and why you should too! ;)

4. Everyone can dada!

5. This is for all the lawyers in the crowd - a quote from "Thank You For Smoking"
Son: "Dad, what makes the American government the best government in the world?"
Dad: "Our endless appeals process."
