Panda is ready for the weekend. Are you?
Sis & Kayruh – too bad you didn’t see this before last night…you could’ve stolen his moves instead of mine. FILCHERS.
Ross: According to Chandler, what phenomenon scares the bejeezus out of him?
Monica: Michael Flatley, Lord of the Dance!
Ross: That is correct.
Joey: The Irish gig guy?!
Chandler: His legs flail about as if independent of his body!

Jennifer Anniston is in Atlanta at this very minute filming her new movie, Wanderlust, with co-starr Paul Rudd.
First of all, I think the movie sounds very intriguing. An excerpt from onlocationvacations says:
In the movie, Jen and Paul play an urban couple who stop at a rural B&B which turns out to be a commune filled with nudists, pot smoking and orgies. The script has created some buzz of its own because, reportedly, Aniston’s character has sex with a woman in the movie.
Maybe this will break her Rom-Com curse…?
Secondly, and much more importantly, this means she and Paul Rudd are trolling the streets of Buckhead, with sightings reported at Chops, St Regis, Whole Foods…I’ve been to Whole Foods no fewer than four times this week for various reasons, and I’ve seen nada.
I wonder what I’d do if I saw them. Probably something really awkward…I once spent a very brief segment of an evening with Owen Wilson and his entourage (thanks to JTomm), and, as we were all being introduced, I felt the inexplicable need to reach across the table and help myself to a handful of his nachos. He didn’t speak to me after that.
Jennifer and Paul are my chance to redeem myself – I must find them! Anyone want to get an AWD at the St. Regis?

It’s Monday. I’m really tired. I’ve restricted all non-work related interaction to the following words:
Meh. Neat. Blerg.
All three of these are highly effective conversation enders. Give it a try – people leave you alone pretty much immediately, unless you’re talking to Hilary and she will not. She will just ask you more questions until you feel like your head might explode and you have to step away from your computer.
As a nod to the season premier’s of 90210 and Gossip Girl, both of which air TONIGHT, I share with you this mildly entertaining clip. (It wasn’t until I read a post on my own blog that I remembered this exciting bit of news. I feel very appreciative of my blogging efforts because I had totally forgotten they were coming on tonight, and my Monday Mania just decreased tenfold. Thanks, AllieB – consider your horn tooted. Â (Tooted. Ha.))
Anyway, this clip is a mash-up of various GG clips from 2008 done in the style of the old-school 90210 credits. The little blonde girl with the big eyes and fresh face who you won’t recognize as a current cast member is Taylor Momsen, which, to use her words, makes me wanna die. She went from Cindy Lou Hoo to JailBait McMegaSlore pretty much overnight. It saddens me…it really does.
Yaaaaaaay Fall TV is back…!

I never thought that I would appreciate MARTA, or that it could possibly be the better option in comparison to another city’s public transit system, but I stand corrected.
Perhaps the concept of personal space simply doesn’t exist in Japan – that’s the only explanation for the apparent tolerance of this inhumanity. I’m having an anxiety attack just watching it. BOUNDARIES, PEOPLE.
Oh my god.

I have never heard of livability.com, a web site that claims to “discover America’s best places to live,” but it is clearly run by a bunch of dillholes who don’t know anything about anything.
In a recent article, Top 10 College Towns: Great Places for School and Life After Graduation, they ranked cities based on the following:
College is about more than getting a degree, it’s about establishing a life. That’s why this list isn’t a ranking of colleges, but rather a ranking of great cities that are home to some of the nation’s best colleges and universities.
Explain to me, then, why on earth they have listed Athens, Georgia as #2 and GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA as #1. WTF??
The description of Athens is totally on point:
Don’t be fooled by Athens‘ southern charm. Underneath a genteel exterior lies the rockin’ city that spawned such legendary rock bands as R.E.M, the B-52’s and Widespread Panic, thanks in part to Athens’ role as home to theUniversity of Georgia. Students and residents alike enjoy a downtown area boasting an eclectic mix of independently owned retail stores, restaurants and coffeehouses. At night, Athens’ thriving music scene comes alive at venues like the Caledonia Lounge and 40 Watt Club.
When I read the description of Gainesville, the only parts that stood out to me were the phrases “warm weather” and “swamp.” Neat. I SO want to go to there.*
*I actually think most of Florida is great, Â it’s really only Gainesville that I do not prefer.
To add insult to injury, it just so happens that Rev. Terry Jones, the mastermind behind the plan to publicly burn the Quran on 9/11, resides in Gainesville. How nice to have such an admirable man as your city’s spokesperson.  (I will say, if this guy goes thru with this abhorrent act, I will not hold Gainesville responsible – it’s terrifying that people like him exist.)
Note to livability: you might wanna reassess.
